Negotiations for the transfer of the Wichita Western League club to Colo rado Springs for the remainder of the season are progressing favorably, it was said today. Contenders to Play Western Teams on Eastern Grounds This Week. Detroit and Chicago Gain on Boston Americans. NEW YORK, Sept. 10. Changes came oulckly among the three leaders in the National League pennant race during the last week and followers of the gram were treated to probably the most exciting- week of the 1916 season. Brooklyn, league leader since the first week In May, held the lead when the. Labor day games began. The close of play that day found Boston clinging to the topmost rung of the champion ship ladder, but less than two full points ahead of Brooklyn and Philadel phia, tied for second place. Tuesday the Superbas and Phillies went into a tie for first place, while the Braves dropped to third. Philadelphia did not play Wednesday, but went into first place by on point, because Brooklyn could only beak even in a double header against New York. Brooklyn Gains Top. The champions clung to the lead through Thursday and Friday, with Brooklyn and Boston second and third, and the week ended with Brooklyn in the coveted place with a gain of four points for the week over second place. Philadelphia was second at the end, 11 points behind Brooklyn and Boston was third. Beginning this week the leaders face the Western teams on the Eastern home grounds and the championship probably will rest on the result of the closing lntereectional games of the year. The Phillies and the Braves played a 0-0 tie game Tuesday. Detroit and Chicago Gain. There was not much change in the American League standing during the week. Boston held on to first place, while Detroit and Chicago crept closer to the world's champions. The Tigers and White Sox did not have much trouble in their games with St. Louis and Cleveland. Boston divided the two Labor day games with New York and took three out of four games from Philadelphia. Unless St. Louis and New York de velop spurts suddenly, the American League race will resolve itself into a contest between Boston, Detroit and Chicago. The Red Sox, with the other Eastern teams, will begin the last invasion of the West this week. Detroit and Chi cago will have the advantage of facing the Eastern contingent on their home grounds.

The Taber-Zolllnger match was close ly contested nearly up to tne finish, when Mr. Taber scored eight consecu tive points, which practically gave him the match. In the final round Tabor played a much steadier game against Mr. Green, who appeared off his usual game. COLUMBIA PARK WINS DOUBLE Bricklayers Forfeit Contest When Umpire Makes Decision.

Portland Boxer Denies Dundee Beat Him Three Times, aa Two Matches Ended In Draw, Jimmy Dundee is "hollering" his head off down in Oakland for a match with Joe Gorman, Pacific Coast ban tamweight champion and feather weight champion of the Northwest. He takes exception to Joe telling him to go and get a reputation. He saya tnat ne beat Gorman three times and has fought draws with Frankie Malone. Harry Pelsinger and Jimmy Fox. He also adds that he has taken part in 125 bouts during his career. Dundee's manager, Pete Nolan, adds that Dundee Is the fastest boy on the Coast and that he can beat Gorman ,every day. Gorman says that he had three bouts with Dundee, one in Richmond, Cal., which was called a draw- by the ref eree. Gorman knocked Dundee down in the last round, but this did not seem to count with the referee. Their sec ond bout was at the West Oakland Athletic Club and was called a draw, after four rounds of fast milling, by the throe judges. The newspapers gave Gorman a shade. The third bout between these two boys was also at the West Oakland Athletic Club, Dundee gaining a doubt ful decision. Gorman says he cannot figure out how Dundee .won these three bouts from him and he has the newspaper clippings for the" three above goes.
