LATEST LOCAL SYDENHAM HURLER ~~ | ~~ 10ST A HARD Oe Young Held Picton to Three! Hits in Nine Innings But Weakened in Eleventh. | | 3 In the second game, second round, pf the intermediate O.B.A.A. semi- tinals, Picton yesterday defeated Sydenham 6-2 at Sydenham in a con- | * lest that should be a memorable one | in the histories ¢! both clubs. The match went eleven innings and in the | eleventh the visiting team scored the four runs which made the difference in the tallies. I was one of the hardest games to lose that Sydenham has ever run across and it was particularly hard for Pitcher Young, who was perform- ing in wonderful style and with more hitting and fielding support from his team would have turned in a victory that was near to a shutout. The Picton squad had no earned runs. Both teams scored one in the first. In the seventh Sydenham scor- ed one and jumped into the lead. In the ninth inning, with two men out, a high fly was sent to right field, Stephenson got set for it, but Bliss, _ dn his anxiety 'to see that it was nab- ed, broke into the other man's territory and interfered, spoiling the catch. It tied up the score and start- | ed another session for Pitcher SPORTING Young, who had already given his best. In the tenth the teams remained scoreless. In the eleventh Picton gathered in four hits and four rums. | Campney driving. a triple with two { on, during the rally. Sydenham was unable to score in the last half. Young struck out eight in the eleventh ~ innings, Walsh three in seven innings and Croft four in four innings, Croft reMeved in the eighth, just as Sydenham started to "find" the slow ones of the lean left- hander. Picton had seven hits, com- pared to the twelve of Sydenham. The crowd was a fair one but the exorbitant amounts necessary for re- ferees overbalanced expenses and the Sydenham club went in the hole fin- ancially on the game. The Kingston intermediates had the same experi- ence with referees, paying out over seventy dollars for the one game. The' score by innings: R.

New York, Sept. 11.--Whether the world's heavyweight championship, which, except for one brief interval. has made its home in the United States for three decades, is to remain here or be carried off to a new abode south of the equator is the question of the hour in sporting circles. It is a question that will be answered on Friday night when Jack Dempsey, holder of the title, steps into the ring to defend his crown against, the iatest pugilistic sensation, Luis Angei Firpo, native of Argentina and the first fighter of note that South Africa has produced. The bout will be fifteen rounds to a decision, in accordance with the provisions of the Walker bill legaliz- ing boxing in York State. It will be held in the Polo Grounds stadium, which will be transformed for the occasion. It will be witness- ed by what now appears as certain to be one of the largest crowds that ever gazed upon a championship struggle in America, larger than the Dempsey-Carpentier bout attracted and about as great as the throng at the recent Willard-Firpo bout,' | which broke all previous records. Judging - by the advance sale of tickets there will be crowded intg the Giants' ball fleld on the evening of the fight no fewer than 100,000 persone. For the privilege of view- ing the two gladiators battle for the title the public will pay the huge sum of $1,250,000. The prize at stake, in addition to | the title involved, will .be 37 1-2 p@r cent. 'of the gate receipts for Demp- eey and 12 1-2 per cent. for Firpo. It is estimated that the champion will receive In the neighborhood of $350,000 for his efforts and Firpo more than $150,000. The Rival Heavyweights. Dempsey.

The spectators are by the way, getting more and more respect for the squad and many of them have expgassud surprise at the abundance of the ma- terial on hand. . The squad worked till long after dark last night and a large number of them could be seen running round and round the city park at their con- ditioning training. They cannot put too much work on this end of the game at present, for they will stack up against teams that carry condi- tion as r trump card when they meet Queen's and R.M.C, Every practise finds things looking brighter and some of the candidates are showing unexpected ability. The assurance of a real schedule against real teams has put new interest into the thing and competition for places will be keen. Junior players who are at present unattached should turn out with the squad as there i¥ a strong possibility that there will be need for a second Limestones' team if plans now under way materialize.

In the first place. the English colt will be 'out of training for nine or ten days a few weekg previous to the race. He will be on the train for nearly a day before he leaves England and will be five or six days on the water.

But it has been accomplished by an English runner of the name of John Slack. Slack bas been in the game for fifty-six years, during which time he has come home first in more than a thousand races. | - Within the past three. or four years professional teachers of lawn tennis have been experiencing a pros- perous time.
