PETE HERMAN lost to Joseph Lynch, A scrapper of renown: But it's a double-barreled cinch Pete didn't lose his crown.

You've got to yield the palm to Pete. He is a foxy scamp; For though he often meets defeat. He still remains the champ. His system of defense is such They cannot put him down; And while he often gets in "Dutch" He still retains his crown. Too True.

Under the meal-Uoket system of box fighting it is just as easy to separate a champ from his crown as it is for a camel to rase himself through the knee of an idol.

The St Louis Cardinals left here last night for home, and will arrive in St Louis this afternoon in time to see the Browns w-ind up with the Cleveland Indians. The Cards were happy when they left here with the thought that they had conquered the Buccaneers three times out of five since last Thursday. The season's play between the two teams now stands 10 to 7 in favor of the Bez-dekians and the Rickeyites thus have a chance to at least even up when the Pirates visit St. Louis this month. The Cards won four of their games here and three at home out of their seven successes.

Hamilton Beat Rickey's Men. The first game here was on May 8, when Earl Hamilton beat Sherdel and a few other pitchers by a score of 4 to 2. The Cards weren't seen here after that till June 30, when Adams beat Jakle May by a score of 4 to 1. Tha next day Mayer beat Doak, 11 to 4, and on July 2 May cat Hamilton, 4 to 2, although it took two other pitchers Sherdel and Tuero -to save the game in the ninth, when the Bucs got their two runs. The Cards came back for one game cn J'uly 7, and this was the weirdet contest of the year at Forbes Field Pittsburg won by a score of 14 to 9.

While the last five games are fresh in the memory of the fans, it may be said that on Aug. 28 Ferdie Schupp let the Pirates down with one hit and defeated Cooper, 3 to 1, and the next day Frank Miller got away to a lucky win over Sherdel by a score of 5 to 3. On Labor day morning Schupp beat Miller, although it took the rescue work of line Doak to save Ferdie the victory.

Cooper de feated Sherdel in the afternoon. Goodwin in Fine Form. As to yesterday's contest, Marvin Goodwin had had a long rest, and Manager Kickey was undecided up to the last minute whether to send him in or not having Schupp warming up also, but there was no mistake made. The former Milwaukee star was never In trouble, even with the bases full and none out in the seventh, for very few of the Pirates were hitting tho ball out of the infield. It appeared, up to that time, as if a no-hit game was to be recorded, and when Carey beat out a slow roller that Iivan got hin hands on and then messed up, on a very hard chance, the official scorer took a vote in the press as to what it should be.

The scorer was loath to make it a hit, if there was a possibility of Goodwin getting through without further damage, but finally honest Judgment was allowed to have sway and Carey was given a hit. Later two more followed. Few Outfield Potonts Made. A glance at the box score this raon-ing reveals that Mollwitz at first base had 15 putouts, Hornsby had four and Clemons three, showing that very few balls were hit to the outtield, the three outer gardeners having four between them. The Cards have had a long trio away from home, and are very glad to get tck to their homo grounds for a long series with Cincinnati and tho Eastern clubs, followed by the Pirates for three games as a windup for 'he season.

with Jack Dempsey for the world's of a scheduled 20-round contest, McGoorty, IS Years in Ring, Past His Prime Over Four Years Ago fljhter who was stopped in the seventeenth round at London, last night, by Joe Beckett, is now in his fifteenth year of professional boxing. Prior to that he engaged in amateur contests and at 15 was Wisconsin State I lightweight champion, in 1904. He turned professional in 1904 and has fought regularl yever since with the exception of 1916. In 1914 at Sydney. Australia, he lost to Jeff Smith and to Jimmy Clabby and the next year he was twice knocked out by Les Darcy, once in 15 and again In eight rounds.

The following year he did not fight at all and in 1917 he boxed but twice, both times in Australia. In 1918 he returned to boxing, while in army service. He participated in the interallied championships at London, in the heavyweight division. He reached the semifinal round, where he was eliminated when Billy "Bombardier" Wells outpointed him in three rounds. McGoorty went far out of his weight class in this bout.

McGoorty, according to the boxing guide, is only 30 years old. despite his long ring career. He was a hard hitter and in his day esteemed by many a champion, or near one. His best weight was 165 pounds, height 5 feet 10 inches. ous during the contest.

He surprised everybody by failing to outbox Beckett, who has generally been regarded as weak In the technical end of the pastime. At times McGoorty's efforts actual ly astonished the onlookers who had been expecting a fine display of hand and footwork. His efforts at agility and cleverness were almost laughable, when he tried to block, duck or sidestep. Nevertheless, he put up a fine display of pluck and courage and his willingness to fight made the bout Interesting. Beckett forced the milling through and rushed savagely from the very beginning.

He used a left to face and body and a hard right to the body with great effect. The finishing blow in the seventeenth landed flush on McGoorty" unprotected jaw. Fulton beat Towney with absurd east, although ringsiders had expected the Knglishman to last 10 rounds.

AMERICAN LEAGl'K. CT-tTK Pet. Win. Liw IWbnt4 WMF ME Title Tennis Matches Again Postponed Rain FORKST HILLS, L. Sept 3.

Heavy rains this morning again compelled the postponement of the finals in the various national championships, scheduled here today. The events will take place tomorrow, provided weather and court conditions permit. By J. P. Allen.

The Post-Dispatch's Eastern Tennis Authority. NEW TORK. Sept. 3. That fas cinating game of "picking a winner" held sway at the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills yesterday.

Ad mirers of William M. Johnston, the Pacific Coast star, and of William T. Tilden II, the hard hitter from Philadelphia, exhausted their arguments and adjectives as they theo retically expounded why one would beat the other for the All-Comers' National Championship Singles, just a3 soon as the weather took a more kindly stand. All of this lively and interesting discussion was provoked because of the second postponement of the final round of the tournament, due to the threatening weather. Tilden has a strong following and the advocacy of his winning brought to light that a movement is gaining headway to hold the All-Comers championship on the turf of tho Ger-mantown Cricket Club, next season.

Philadelphia Seeka 1920 Tourney. The Philadelphia forces believe that they will have a Pennsylvanian holding the title, the first since William J. Clothier, that the Quaker City would excel the metropolis as to attendance. It is also argued that, with the Davis Cup final at Forest Hills, next season, the All-Comers should be transplanted to other courts. Those who are backing: the Philadelphia plan believe that a victory by Tilden will clinch the matter.

Dr. Summer Hardy, the Pacific Coast member of the Executive Committee, displayed intense interest in making sure that Johnston was resting and conserving his energies for tho real battle which follows the time-honored formulas of being a clash between the East and West ew Voting; Plan Being Poahed. There is likewise a selfish interest in the West wishing to land the title through one of its players. The campaign for greater recognition, for equalization of voting power and a few other ithings is quietly going forward under the able direction of the three associations that have merged their interests. Edwin P.

Fischer, the veteran player who has acted as umpire of several of the important matches, said that in his estimation Tilden would win provided he was successful in holding to his steadiness of game. Those who favored Johnston simply pointed to the cool-headed generalship he had displayed in defeating Gerald L. Patterson, the Australian holder of tha world's championship; of Kobert L. Murray, the playing through title holder, and Wallace V. Johnson.

Post-Dispatch "WANT" ADS ar the quick method of getting desirable tenants at small expense. From Australians the fourth round of the national. The doubles between Brookes and Patterson and Tilden and Johnston will be the best of the three days of play. The Australians are favored to win this as Johnston and Tilden have never played together before, although they might surprise with a victory. Ilesults of two days matches would then give United States three to their opponents two.

On the third day Williams and Johnston or Davis Rhoutd win from Lycett and Thomas.

All four members of the Australian team have made themselves extremely popular with t-verybody here and should they win the team match their victory will be accepted by tho Americans in a sportsmanlike manner. If America wins it will prove that the action of the National Executive Coinittee in not challenging for the Davis Cup this year was correct It will also cloud the claim of the English authorities that the recent rnampioitsnip loumament at im- bledon was a real world's championship affair. All four visitors are expected to leave Saturday after the last match to take part in a tournament at Toronto, Canada. Their next stop is not known as the plans for their journey westward have not been completed. MRS.

In the same ring Fred Pulton, of Minneapolis, one time tijatchcd with Jess Willard for the title," knocked out Arthur Town-Icy, of Southampton, a clever heavyweight of good reputation, in the fjyrt round. As a result of Beckett's victory his maich, with Georges Carpentier, previously postponed, will probably be revived and a date set. Carpentier has not yet received his discharge from French service. There was some talk of matching Fulton and Beckett, but no announcement of Beckett's consent has fcf'tfn made. Beckett stated last night that if he defeated Carpentier he "tfould" challenge Dempsey for the world's championship.

CHICAGO, Sept 3. Club owners of the National and American Leagues will not draft star players from the minor leagues this fall. This was decided last night, when the National Baseball Commission recommended that the privileges of the draft be suspended for 1919 because of the "uncertainty now existing" between the major and minor leagues of 'the country.

The commission ruled, however, that the major league clubs be permitted to continue the purchase of players if suitable arrangements could be made with the minor leagus clubs. A. R. Tearney of Chicago, presilent of the Three-I and Western Leagues, who led the fight against the practice of the major leagues in drafting minor league talent, was elated with the action of the commission. Hs was chairman of the committee which effected a break in relations with major leagues last winter, and the subsequent abrogation of the national agreement.

"The action means that the leagues will now be able to build fences for themselves instead of for the major leagues," Tearney satd. "It means also that the minor organisations will have control in minor league clubg to financially support the game, which, as everyone knows, has been a losing venture. "Home minor league clubs have been able to survive only thn -gh the sale of star players. There h-ive been more players Bold from the minors this fall than in any previous, year." A ghost of the Federal League fight was brought up by the commission, which ruled that the old International League still is Indebted to the commission to the extent of $8700. The commission served warning that unless this money was paid within 30 days the territorial rights of the cities comprising the international League circuit in 1914 would not be respected.

The money is a part of funds loaned the organization to oppose the invasion of the Federal League. Nine-Game World Series Is Wanted Commission Asks Club Owners for Immediate Ratification of New Plan. CHICAGO, Sept. 3. Because of the unprecedented demand for world's series seats this fall, the National Baseball Commission at a meeting yesterday recommended that the series be increased to nine games instead of the usual seven.

The proposal waa sent to the club owners of the American and National Leagues for immediate ratification. Under the proposed plan, the players of the rival clubs would share in the receipts of the first five games, instead of four, as in former years: and the victorious team would have to take five of the nine contests to win tho world's championship. Heretofore the championship was decided when one of the clubs won four of the seven. August Herrmann, chairman of the commission, explained that the recommendation was made for no other reason than to benefit the public by permitting a larger number of persons to see at least one of the games. Although the Cincinnati club has not clinched the National League pennant.
