But no bonuses will be paid to him under his new contract. How the S5M bonus per home run iory originated, llugg.ni tailed to explain, lie let it be known, how ever, that it was not intended to con tradict the tale at first, but the ink was not dry on Kuth's contract svhen scandal began to brew.

Havana Results XTEV l Greb, a young man from Pitts ' burgh, was today bearing his blushing honors after a "coming, out affair" at Madison Square Gar den last night. Thomas Gibbons of St. Paul, a handsome youth, at-, tempted to interfere w ith the success j of Mr. Greb's debut in Metropolitan j society, but he merely showed how I the Pittsburgh man could perforin j before a large and select company. The two men, light heavyweight pugilists by profession, were billed in advance as staging their meeting as a prelude to the better man enter ing into active relations with Wil liam Harrison Dempscy, now cham pion mauler of the universe. After last night's social affair, at tended by the flower of this city's smarter tet, there was not much talk of cither man being sent into the ring to give Mr. Dempscy a Roman holiday. Not in many a month has ' a crowd of more cosmopolitan make tip or more social prominence wit nessed two athletes swing gloves at each other. The garden was simply j a mass of social leaders, bankers and policemen, and a list of those pres ent would read like the social reg ister. Mr. Greb was acclaimed the win ner because he used both hands in windmill attack, while Mr. Gibbons depended upon finesse for his points. Greb was wild, but he swung more often and the percentage of landing a blow now and then was all in his tavor. Gibbons landed at times, but the most of the time he was having trouble in avoiding the tornado of gloves hurtling toward his mar celled head. He never got a chance to launch his attack to the body, his best stock-in-trade, and on the showing made Greb was without question the headliner for the eve ning. Haxtun Team Wins.

Groh is one of those little gymnasts who can pick up a grounder with his hip pocket ?nd throw it with his elbow. You know what Frisch can do at third. Well, he can double that amount at second. Bancroft is schooling hint in the rituals and superstitions of the in field temple. Frank didn't have much to learn, but what there was to know was in the possession of Bancroft.
