Providence, July 24.-Bad manage

Proposed Exhibition In Rhode Island Ends
in FizzIe--Boxing Notes.

Seattle, Wash, July 24.-Joe Cans
WAS given the decision over Dave Hol-
" at Pleasant Beach last night after
an interesting battle that went the
limit. 20 rounds. Holly insisted i'm
clinching repeatedly and used his
penent groggy in the last round, but
could not put him down.
Cans had absolutely no chance to
show his science in clean fighting, but
was forced throughout the fight to
fight the battle at which Holly is best.
II was not until the 18th round that
Cans began to make his weight tell on
Holly. Then he landed several rights
and leftS that drew blood and closed
one of IIollys eyes.
Early in the contest Cans received q
punch in the right eye that cut deep
cash and a little later Holly landed
again and during the remainder of the
contest Cans was fighting with one
eye closed. The last three rounds We're
the fastest of the battle. In the last
round Cans landed hard on Holly and
for minute it looked as if the Balti-
more boxer would win.
IIollys great strength came to his
rescue however and lie was able to fight
back and bring Cans into a clinct-
When the gong that marked the close
Of the fight sounded the men were
clinched.

TWO GAMES TODAY.
Augusta Players Are in Fine Form for
Playing Good Ball.

This will indeed be Il momcntous
day in local baseball affairs. At 100
| +. NJ. our boys will meet Gardiner on
her own diamond and at AS the same
teams will meet at the Augusta Driv-
| ing park. II. kcnniston and Davis
will do tn" battery work at Gardiner
while Eddie Remission will do the
| tWirlinE for the home game.
ThcS" games will be OF the greatest
| Importance as the results may show up
4 new leader for the league. Our boys
will go into each game with a deter
| minHti"n 10 win out ana as the leaders
will surely make an extra effort to
retain their small advantage there is
sur" /" IT, something doing" That
| Augusta has the goods no one can pre-
sumo to dispute.
Now Of course YOU are going to turn
| out ana that you are glad that YOUR
| city is represented by the best aggrc-
cation Of BAN players that have ever
been ''huddlcd" together i'll Il Maine
city.
Think Of what the mana cement has
been up against in the weather line
Some weeks only So has been taken
q; the gnt" while til" expenses are 5000
per week fer salaries alone and YOU can
safely add $50 more for contingent cx-
pcnS"S. I;ut Manager NorcroSS has
come NJ with the coin each pay day
and the boys always have their cash
promptly. That is what NAV well be
termed a clever instance of 'Frcnzicd
Finance" to meet $3.50 in bills with $50
receipts and still have Il balance suffi-
Gent to make 4 rattle in your rocket
Then Their" are some brand new
suits for TIL" boys on the way and will
be here for Saturdays game. These
suits are dandics and such as a group
Of winners would look at home in.
You will want to take Il close view
Of the Augusta grounds when you at
tend the game tomorrow. From 5
o'clock last night till darkness settled
over the Toad Puddle" the ring Of a
dozen spades and score of hoes could
be heard in cheerful chime to the song
Of the frogs as the gravel was dashed
from Mount "Pclec" to the ruts and
holes in the outficld. The city roller
will take up the work this morning
where the volunteers left off and a
surprise will certainly be in store for
landscape admirers when they are first
brought face to face with the results of
the local Improvement committee.
