Senators show Poor Team Work.
Poor team work and wild pitching lost

times pitched admirably. He and Nichols
each struck out five men, but he gave Eve
bases on balls. one OF which let in the
winning run. But Meakin hit well. making
the first run of the game on a hit to the
bulletin board. The home team didn't try
to sacrifice when a sacrifice hit was needed,
and their team work was IN strong contrast

Perhaps attempts to sacrifice would not

In ten rounds. according to the referees de-
cision, though both seemed strong At the
fnish.
Shortly before 10 O'Clock Dixon ana Pierce
entered the ring and half a second after had
thrown themselves into attitude Cor the
struggle. Dixon went after his man with
all his customary vtciousness. little i'd

head. but q moment after In ducking re-
ceived hard upper swing.
Dixon was regular fighting machine and
kept working his man all around the ring.
Pierce narrowly escaped several vicious left
hand swings but received one or two on the

for IT regularly, when suddenly Dixon
switched and, feinting with the left. landed
the right hard on the jaw.
At the end of the second round * was 10
