Minute for No-Decision Bout Last Night SCRAPPER FINISHES CLOSING TERRIERS ONLY ONE GAME BACK OF FED LEADERS Victory Over Newark, 12-5, While Pittsburg Loses Two to Brooklyn, Tightens Outlaw Race. FIELDER JONES' Terriers yesterday put into effect the old saying "make hay -while the sun when they walloped Newark, 12 to 5. KIt was one of the greatest free-hitting clashes witnessed in St. Louis for a long time.

There were about 4800 fans present, distributed as follows: 1000 in the bleachers, 800 in the pavilion and 3000 in the grand 45,000 Persons See Interesting Bout in Which Both Men Are Credited With Victory by Experts. Jr (3 IrsSe RINGSIDE, BRIGHTON BEACH, N. Sept. 11 Before the largest crowd that ever witnessed a boxing match in this country, Miko Gibbonn of St. Paul, outpointed Packey McFarland of Chicago in a ten round, no cision contest here tonight.

The bout which brought together two of the cleverest boxers in the ring today was hard fought from start to finish, but Gibbons scored the more frequent and more effective blows. Double Victory Today Will Put Terriers One Point Behind Leaders A VICTORY for the Terriers in both games of today's double-header with Newark will put Jones' men just one point behind the leading Pitts-feds. Pittsburg does not play and this accounts for the inabll- ity of the locals to pass them. Two right-handers will be called upon by Jones to pitch in today's battles. Dave Davenport, who shut out the Peps, last Friday, with two hits, will be sent back In one of the clashes, while Doc Crandall is down to labor in the other.

McICechnie probably will call upon Reulbach and Kaiserling, who worked a part of yesterday's slaghter- First game called at 2 o'clock. I fi stand. Yesterday was the first time in a long while that the Terriers copped at the right time. Pittsburg lost a double bill to Brooklyn and as a result of this Jones' aggregation is only one full game behind Oakes gang. This morning the Terriers are closer to first place than they have been for over a month.

A Heap of Hitting. If ever club made use of its hits Jones' men did yesterday. Of the 16 hits made by the Terriers, 14 of them figured in the scoring. During the same, 27 hits were made by the two teams and seven of these were for xtra bases. The Terriers cracneu out four triples, while Newark batters pounded out two three-baggers a nd a double.

The game yesterday was just a plain walkouver for Eddie Plank the, 40-year-old southpaw. Eddie never Aid extend himself after hist mates put him out in front. As a result, McKechnies outfit banged out eight hits off the left-hander in the eight rounds he twirled. After the eighth Kddle went to tire shower and let Kdgar Willett finish up the game. Thm 79112 chaDeroned by Bui wc- Kechnie, which for a long- time was right on the heels of the leaders, never would havo scored on Plank had Umpire Mullen given the veteran the corners while pitching to Scheer.

Mullen waved Scheer to first on two occasions on wide ones and they both resulted in a Ti being counted against Plank In the second frame, with one out.

Following are opinions of the referee, the flghtera and newspaper experts on the result of the McFarland-Glbbons bout tonight By WILLIAM JOH, Referee. In my opinion McP arland and Gibbons fought a draw. Of course thla Is not my Under the Jaw I am not allowed to give a decision; so this is merely my opinion.

Tne heat in the ring was something fearful. I was nearly exhausted Just walking around during the 10 rounds. How McFarland and Gibbons fought a clever bout for SO minutes waa beyond my comprehension. By Mike Gibbons. "I'm certain that I won.

I carried the fight to McFarland and I know that I landed many clean punches. I was not distressed nor tired, as none of McFar-land's blows really hurt. I suffered from JAnJyatt, as It was like the electric I wllllng to meet i time, in the do even berswlr In the winter, as nm weather suits me better than hot. By Paekey McFarland. There Is no doubt that I scored the reater number of points and hat I can retire with a clean score and with the credit of defeating the best and clever-cut boxer of the present day.

I would not have returned to the ring at this late date but for the fact that one, cannot always pick up 17.500 for 3 minutes' work. But from the way I feel at the present time. 1 think 1 have fought my last battle. Newspaper opinion. ew Vork I'rese.

McFarland showed that his long absence from the ring had dulled his speed and power to snap punches to vulnerable points of his opponent's head and body. McFarland showed flashes of his old rapid-fire left, but the leads were little more than snaps and did not check Olbbons and his more effective assaults.

McFarland appeared nervous when he entered the ring and was not as finely conditioned as his opponent. The St. Paul phantom Immediately took the aggressive and showed that he intended to make a fight of it Instead of a sparring exhlblton. There waa power behind almost every blow he landed and he found little difficulty In beating the stockyards boxer to the punch. For the first four rounds Gibbons waa always In the lead playing alternately for the head and body.

In the fifth McFarland took the aggressive and, being thoroughly warmed up. fought desperately to stem the tide of defeat. Gibbons met him halt way, however, and the best the Chicago boxer could get was an even break in this round. Gibbons Puts on More Speed. Mike Increased his speed In the sixth and scored the majority of effective blows.

McFarland made a strong play for Gibbons' body, but the latter covered so well that few of the blows reached their objective. Packey cut loose In the seventh and rained a shower of blows to Gibbons' face, one of which split the St. Paul boxer's left eyebrow. -McFarland tried to outslug opponent in the next period, but although the latter was beginning to weaken he staggered Packey with several blows to the head and still maintained his lead. McFarland came up with a smile In the eighth and fought with his old confidence.

More than two hours before the principals entered the ring lines of spectators extended for blocks away from the entrances, and roads ljjfllng to the arena were blocked with double lines of motor cars.

From the ringside nothing could be seen but a sea of faces which grew dimmer until they faded Into innumerable rows of white blotches to the very edge of the enclosure. Several thousand women were scatterefl among the spectators, which Included large delegations of boxing enthusiasts from as far west as Chicago and Cleveland and below Washington into the South. Gibbons was the favorite In the wagering at odds ranging from 8 to 6 and 2 to 1, and while no large sums were staked there were hundreds of small bets so great was the interest in and difference of opinion regarding the outcome of the bout.

By W. J. O'Connor. After yielding submissively to the Reds in three straight games, the Cardinals yesterday reared up on their hind legs and knocked the everlasting life out of the pennant pretenders from Brooklyn. The score was 2 1, all runs being made In the ninth frame.

It was a staggering blow for the proteges of Wilbur Robinson, who scraped their only run In the first half of the ninth. Then the Cards came back and trumped with a pair, manufactured as follows: Bescher walked and was forced by Long, tkrfan, who seeped Into the score after Wilson had ben benched for a pinch-hltter In the seventh, played his string to 3 and and hit the "cripple" to left for three bases, scoring Long. Miller purposely was PRBed and Betzel then coaxed a walk, filling the bases. Along came Mlquel Oonsales. He got Sherrod Smith, the alien pitcher in the hole, and drove deep to Nixon In left, Dolan scoring.

Hug's Strategy Wins. No game played here this season was more Interesting. It was a battle of tactics from the go and in the end Hug's strategy excelled that of Robinson. Doak, too, pitched superior ball to Smith and would have escaped with a shut-out to his credit had not Da Libert registered, a two-base infield hit. Indeed, this infield two-bagger was only one of many freak plays of the game.

It came in the ninth and yielded Brooklyn's only run. Smith had inaugurated a rally after one demise with a single to center. He took second on Dolan's boot and went to third on O'Mi ra's out. Daubert then hit a mean hopper to Huggins, who made a desperate stab for the short bounce. He missed and the ball rolled towards right; Before it was retrieved, Daubert perched the middle bag, the proud possessor of a two-base hit.

Here's One for the Book. Another freak play developed in the eighth Inning when Betzel was charged with an error and credited with a put out on the same play. The situation was this: With runners on first and second, and nobody out, CutBhaw bunted a 'pop fly that Bet-sel and Doak went after. T'nder the rules it was an infield fly, the batter being automatically retired. But Betzel made a stab, muffed the" ball and Daubert went to third and Stengel to second.

Ciitehaw reached first In apparent safety, but he later was effaced by Umpire Klem. Betzel was credited with the put out as he was the man nearest the play while he also was charged -with aft error for allowing the runners to advance. All the interest was crowded Into the final thrfte frames.

The match was one of the longest the hardest doubles contests played in this vicinity in some years.

The Browns came through like a regular ball club this afternoon and bagged both ends of a double-header from the downtrodden Athletics, the score being- 8 to 4 in the opener and 9 to 4 In the afterpiece. That makes five in a row and a clean slate for the Browns on their present trip. Manager1 Rickey was forced to use two pitchers in each contest to keep the Browns In front, but In each case he chose the proper hurler. In the prelude the Rickeyltes got Jim Parks off to a four-run lead, but when he weakened and permitted the Maokmen to tie It up, Chester Hoff, the former Rochester lefthander, sat in and stopped the rally. He gets credit for the victory.

As Hoff had done well In taming the Macks in the latter Innings of the front game, Rlokey nominated Ernie Roob to pitch the second, Ernie was roughly handled. Only four men. faced turn and every one got on, while two got all the way round. Then Oarl wellman, a real pitcher, came on the scene. Before he was able to retire the side two more runs, both of which had been put on the bases by Koob, had scored.

Weilman Wim, Pulled Up. After that it was a Cakewalk for the elongated left-hander. The Browns braced and made a flook of runs for Weilman who is credited with the victory. Manager Mack had a terrible afternoon with his pitchers. He used Nabors.

Haas and Fll-lingim In that order In the first, Nabors was roughly treated and Haas came on for a few minutes, or long enough to let Pratt ehlt and Walker walk. Then Flllingim helped pill the beans. In an effort to stop the Browns in the seoond Mack picked Joe Leslie Bush, a hero of the 1812 worldwi series. He wasn't a hero today. The Macks got him off to a good start, but he weakened and was forced to retire.

A rookie from New Jersey named Ancker finished. The Macks off in front in both games.
