THE MEN REALLY FOUGHT.
Harry Baker and Grover Hayes Mix
From Start to Finish.

Philadelphia, March Hilary Baker
of California Saturday night scored
victory over Grover Hayes of Chicago
in the ring of the National, A. c. Ba-
ker gave wonderful exhibition of
cleverness and footwork, and in the
first four rounds had things pretty
much his own way. He alternated left
jabs for Hayes face with swings for the
Chicagoan's body and landed nearly
every time he led. This was kept up
to do some fancy work. when he was
staggered by right swing on the jaw.
Hayes followed this up and forced Ba-
ker to the ropes and the men then
mixed it up, with Hayes doing the bet
ter work. Again in the last round
Hayes staggered Baker with a right
swing to the jaw, but Harry held Gro
yer off with left jabs until just before
the bell rang, when they went into an
other furious mixup.

that they have had less TIME TO train

The game develo ped lone absolute

staff is in anything but a good condi-

team are in a fair way to open the sea

two Matthewsons, not one of them
could go in the box today and pitch
whole game.
At 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon every
member of the team, including Bow
