short. Henley pitched good ball for
the visitors, but was not as lucky,
although his teammates piled UP two
more hits than he gave the Angels.
Briswalter famed seven Seals and only
four Angels fractured the atmo. Each
pitcher gave two bases on balls. So, 1t
is easy to see what a great game both
twirlers put up.
The Angels started off in the lead
when they scored a run in the first
inning. Cakes ambled and romped to
third when Bernard singled to right.
Bernard took second on Melchoir's poor
throw to Bodie. Brashear flew to Mel
choir, and Oakes by great sprint and
a beautiful slide just managed to nose
out the ball at the plate for decision.
Two more runs came in the sixth
and settled the game. Oakes got an
other free pass down to first and went
to second when Ellis singled to center.
Bernard sacrificed both men a peg and
Brashear broght them home with a
single to center.
The Seals scored two runs in the sec
ond and took the lead, which they held
until the sixth. MeIchoir walked, Will
liams flew to Ellis and Beck singled tC
left Killifer doubled to right and Mel
choir and Beck beat the throw home.
Bodie was thrown out trying to pur-
loin second and Howard winged the
ball home and headed off Killifer. Then
Brissy made Henley pop to Delmas.

Otis drove from Cleveland to Buffalo

At the conclusion of this run Mrs. Otis

~ WING to the short period in which
he has had for training Johnny
W Murphy found it impossible to
make 1873 pounds for his 25-round scrap
Tuesday night with Maurice Sayers and
wisely decided to ask for slignt
change in the weight conditions. When
the fact was made known to Baron
Long he Immediately consulted with
Sayers and the Milwaukee lightwelSnt ~
readily agreed to make the weight LOO
pounds, so the boys will meet az tnls
weight. Murphy urged that Whlle ne
might be able to make the weight ne
would be doing himself an injustice In
doing so and would be forced to weaken
himself in the baths in the operation.
Long preferred that both boys nave no
chance for complaint, and Sayers Is SO
confident of winning that he maze no
objection to the change. He says ne
has been fighting welterweights all his
life and does not mind the difference OF
q pound or two in the weight OF his
opponent.
much better scrap. A few additional
pounds did wonders for Packy McFar-
land and always helped Jimmy Burns.
So it probably will serve to put Muir
phy on edge and in his best form, while
it also will enable Sayers to go in the
ring at a weight that will be more
agreeable to him. Weight counts for
something in 81 scrap between two such
prime sluggers as Murphy and Sayers
and as the fans expect a great fight
when they meet the removal of any
chance for complaint by either boy as
to the weight question will be most
satisfactory all the way round.
Without considering the worry caused
by the weight conditions, Murphy is in
grand condition, and now that he has
obtained an adjustment of the weight
question he will go into the ring in
fine fettle and filled with confidence in
his ability to make good before n Los
Angeles audience. Murphy is one of
the hardest hitters In the lightweight
division and has won nearly all his
fights by the use of his punch rather
than in any clever exhibitions. At 1876
pounds he says he will be bear and
will be disappointed II he fails to stop
Sayers inside of the 25-round limit
Sayers probably is better known to
the fans. at least by reputation, than is
