...Christopher ("Bat") Battalino: a Chicago fight in which he risked his world's featherweight championship against Earl Mastro; by a decision, after ten rounds. C. Top Flight, dark brown two-year-old filly owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt ("Sonny") Whitney and ridden by Jockey "Sonny" Workman: the Pimlico Futurity, her seventh race this season; raising the total of her cash winnings to $219,000, more than any other mare or any two-year-old has ever won before, more than any other race horse has won this year...
Fourth Game. Having won the first game and lost the second in St. Louis, and lost the third in Philadelphia, Manager Cornelius McGillicuddy ("Connie Mack") of the Philadelphia Athletics was faced with a familiar but difficult problem : who should pitch?

Ninth pennant-winning team of Philadelphia's lean 68-year-old Manager Cornelius McGillicuddy ("Connie Mack"), the Athletics are handicapped by an injury to hardhitting Centre-fielder George William ("Mule") Haas. They still have a powerful offense, headed by Catcher Gordon Stanley ("Mickey") Cochrane, First-baseman James Emory ("Jimmy") Foxx, Outfielder Aloysius ("Al") Simmons, and the best pitching staff in either league. Best right-hander is George Livingston Earnshaw, Swarthmore graduate...

Y., autumn racing season: Mrs. John Hay Whitney's Green Cheese, the $28,250 Grand National Steeplechase; Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney's unbeaten two-year-old filly Top Flight, the $94,780 Futurity Stakes; Mrs. Payne Whitney's champion three-year-old Twenty Grand, the $10,400 Jockey Club Gold Cup, at odds...
