THE READING NEWS TIMES 1 ALL THE LATEST IN SPORT 1 SOUTHPAW BOXERS TOP NEWS IN THIS DEPARTMENT PROGRAM OF TONIGHTS SHOW 1 EYEN BREAK WITH BOSTON "REDUCES PHILLIES' HOPES Demaree's Support Cracks After Alexander Blanks Braves MORANMEN MISS BANCROFT League Champions Unable to Hit the Veteran Ed. Ruelbach PIP LiA DELPHI Oct. 2. Philadelphia enjoyed another brief stay in first place in the National ousting Brooklyn from the lead by League race today, the home team winning the first game from Boston 2, to 0 and then dropping back to second place by losing the second contest 4 to 1. while Brooklyn was shutting out New York.

In. the opening game Alexander out twirled Ragan, who pitched for seven Innings and Allen, who worked one inning, Alexander, held Boston to three hits and registered his sixteenth shutout of the season. So effective was Alexander that only one visiting player got past first base. "Whitted scored in the second inning on his double, Cravath's sacrifice and Luderus' double. Klllifer scored the other run in the fifth inning.

He doubled, reached third by beating Ragan's throw to Smith on Alexander's bunt and tallied when Byrne bunted and was thrown out by Ragan. Demaree's Support Fails. In the second game, Demaree opposed Reulbach for seven innings, and Bender twirled the last two innings, the latter not being scored on, Reulbach pitched better ball than Demaree, but errors by Demaree's team mates hslped the visitors to two of their runs. The three errors committed by the Phillies all were essential factors in the foes run getting and with im peccable support Demaree might have held the Braves to a tie. Stock, playing short' in place of Bancroft, proved that the third base man needs more practice at short before he can fill Bancroft's shoes, for his slips both in and out of the error column figured prominently in the result.

A crowd that jammed the stands and the bleachers, leaving no seat or standing space unoccupied, rooted hard for Philly victory, but the efforts of 20,000 voices could not break the spell. Ed. Reulbach, the Cub curver, cast adrift by Manager Tinker, pitched for the Braves and checked the Phils with six hits. He showed rare judgment in serving to the Moran men and kept feeding them balls which they did not like. Cravath got to him for two hits, but Luderus, Paskert and Whltted failed to make any impression on his delivery.

MisCues Cause of Runs The first run which the Braves scored on Demaree was an error. Snodgrass opened the grame with a crash to Stock. He got his glove on the ball, but failed to hold it, Snodgrass getting a tainted hit Maranville hit directly to Stock, who had an easy double slaughter before him, but he booted the ball and both men were safe. Wilhoit lined to Stock, who doubled Snodgrass off second. Koney came through with a single to right, sending Maranville to third.

On the double steal Killefer threw high to Stock and Maranville scored, Koney being ultimately run down between first and eecond. The Moranmen tied up the score in the second. Whitted worked Reulbach for a pass and went to second on Cravath'iKsingle over second. Luderus forced Cravath at second, "Whitted going to third. On Nie hoffs force of Luderus at the middle station Whitted scored.

Killefer singled infield. Nlehoff racing around to third while Reulbach lot the ball roll. Killefer filched second, but Demaree ended the Inning with a high fly. The winning run was also forged on a miscue. Snodgrass opened the sixth with a single to centre.

Maranville bunted down the first base line, and Luderus, over eager to make, the play at second, threw high, and the bull. Went to centre field. Snodgrass then went to third on a force play at second and scored on Koney' drive to rieht for a base. The Braves collected two more in the seventh after two were out, on a base on balls, a speared batsman, a single and Wliittod's wild throw, but the tallies were not required.

0. Sullivan Arrives in Good Shape For Mil! With Baker O'BRIEN MEETS DRONEY Five Reading Boys Will in Action on All Star Card be When K. O. Sullivan, of Hazleton, and Harry K. O.

Baker, of Wilmington, square off tonight in the top liner of Cole Watson's all star boxing" bill at the Auditorium, the fans should be" treated to one of the greatest, slugging bees ever "fought before a local club. It will be the first time a pair of southpaws met in a local ring in years. Both pack a dreamland punch in their left mitt. Baker's style of boxing made a big hit with the local fans when he fought Johnny Howard at Carsonia Park last winter. Baker's deadly kick makes him dangerous at all times.

It will be Sullivan's first appearance here, but his record is known to every local fan. Sullivan arrived in Reaiing Monday morning and worked out in the afternoon in Wat son "gym" on Eighth near wash ington. The coal region scrapper is in perfect shape. He came here from New York, where he has been boxing for several months. The southpaw K.

O. artist has been working out with Jack Britton for some weeks. After his bout here Sullivan will leave for Girardville, where he meetsTack McCarron In a 15 pound go Friday night There should also bo plenty or fireworks in the semi windup when Frankie O'Brien again meets Tim Droney, the rugged and aggressive boxer from Lancaster. Their bout last winter was about the liveliest go the fans were treated to in years. Both boys are willing boxers and can be counted on to mix it up every minute they are in the ring.

Graham's Opening Bout Eddie Graham, who became a "daddy" last night, will hook up with Ritz Walters, of Atlantic City, in the third go. Walters is a newcomer to the local fans, but he comes here with a good "rep." He has been K. O. Baker's sparring partner for several months. Walters will find the local boy in tip top shape for the mill, and this means that the bout will be a hummer.

Dutch' Mengel, of the Mt. Airy Club, will combat Battling Telky, a Baltimore lad, in the second bout on the program. Telky is said to be' an aggressive boxer and will carry the fight to Mengel. The bill will be opened by Willie Graham, a youngster, who will make his debut in the ring against Battling Paskos, who, Cole Watson says, will be the best local boy in the gam with six months' experience under his belt. Graham is no other than Irish Mau ger, an all around athlete of the northwestern section.

He is recognized as one of the best young basketball players on the local floors and has decided to try his hand at boxing. He has been working out with Eddie Graham. The firstvbout will be put on at 8.30. Between 8 and 8. 30.

the Audi torium Orchestra will furnish music It will be the first show of the sea son to be staged by Watson, who intends bringing the best in the game to Reading during the winter. Wat son showed his class at a match' maker at the shows he pulled off at Carsonia last winter. His three shows produced some of the fastest milling ever seen in Reading. DOLIN JUMPS CAMDEN Eastern League Center Signs Willi Pittston SCRANTON, Oct. 2.

Two of the teams in the Pennsylvania State Basketball League announced the signing of players that should strengthen them considerably. The Pittston club has secured the services of Edward Dolin, who last season was a star center on the Camden team, of the Eastern League, while Nanticoke has added Chief Muller, one of the greatest forwards in basketball. Muller is on a par with Jimmy Kane, of Scranton, and Jack Inglis, of Carbondale, and will make both of these men hustle for phi honor of leading the league in ylleld goals next season, if he has a jy kind of guards to work with him. Manager Keller, of Wilkes Barre, has also secured an Eastern League star, in Dunleavy, of Philadelphia. This fellow will probably play at one of the forward positions.

He attracted attention as a player with the Catholic High School team, and several Eastern League clubs were after him. He only played a few games in the Eastern League, however. The Scranton management will have about' the same lineup as last year.

With the pennant won the Boston Americans pased today, but nevertheless de feated Philadelphia, 4 to. 2. It was a hltless shutout during the five innings that Ernest Shore pitched for the world champions.

He then was relieved by Jones, in pursuance of Manager Carrigan's policy of giving the pitchers that he will call in the world's series only enough work to keep them in condition Most of the other Red Sox regulars were kept in. for only part of the game and after the sixth inning the lineup had seven substitutes, including the veteran Heine Wagner, now employed as a coach. Their playing presented an indication of the strength of the Boston reserves. The probability that Captain Jack Barry, who has been out the game for a month with a broken1 hand, would be able to play in the big series developed with his appearance at practice. He favored the hand in catching, but threw with considerable strength.

The Boston players abandoned Fenway Park as their home grounds with today's game, arrangements having been made to play a double header with Philadelphia tomorrow at Braves' Field, th grounds of the National League here, which the Red Sox will use during the world series. The change was made to allow the Boston men to become ac customed again to the field which was the scene of their world series exploits last year. Score. Philadelphia A.B. R.

"If Banny said that," Pat remarked, "he. is Banny had to be carried off the field, and he is more badly hurt than he thinks. You can go back and tell him that I said he won't play again until 1917, unless I am positively assured that his playing won't be injurious to him."

Announcement was made here today that the annual open golf championship of Pennsylvania, which was to have opened on the links of the Allegheny County Club here on Oct. 11, has been postponed until Oct. 16. This action was taken by the state executive committee In order to accommodate the professionals who will compete in the sectional tournament for the Wanamaker trophy next week. In the and amateur events neither champion will 'defenti his title this year.

Tom An derson, the open champion, was killed in an automobile accident shortly after winning thp title last year, and Frank Dyer, the amateur title holder, is eligible, as he is no longer a resident of the slate. He hasn't banged the old apple with the vigor and accuracy of his more illustrious predecessor and his flycatching hasn't been as spectacular as that of the mighty Texan, but his all around work has stamped him as a worthy substitute. played center field lor more than I two years held Tilly in high es $500 BONUS FOR GIANTS IF THEY BEAT DODGERS McGraw Tells Men to Do Their Best to Win NEW YORK, Oct. 2. John McGraw called his players together in the traininghouse this afternoon and gave them a 1 plain talk about the four game series which opened with Brooklyn today.

"There's been a lot of talk that we are going to lay down to Brooklyn, because of our friendship and former association with Robinson, so that he can beat the Phillies out for the pennant," said McGraw. "I want you. fellows to get out in that series and by your hustling, repudiate these yarns. I want you all to do your best to win." McGraw followed this up by offering to give a bonus of $50 to each pitcher who won his game and an additional bonus of $500 to be distributed among the players if the Giants won three out of the four games. McGraw his planned to use his best pitchers In the series with the Superbas.

Fred Schupp, the young twirler who leads the National League with a brilliant record of ten victories and two defeats, drew the opening assignment. Tesreau and Perrltt will work two of the other games and the fourth game will probably be saved for Benton or Sal lee. Buck Herzog, the Giants' second baseman, declared that he and his teammates are going to work their heads off' to defeat the Dodgers. i Herzog, who more than any other man, Is said to have been the player who put the pep in the Giants wiich in their great drive, once wore a Philadelphia uniform. He was on the team about ten years ago when Duffy was manager.

Boston wanted Walker in order to be prepared for an emergency in the event Speaker refused to come to terms and accept a salary cut. Walker batted .205 in 124 games and his slugging has been a big factor in the pennant drive of the Back Bay crew.
