THE PUGlLISTS
HARRY GAVE IT
 GOOD TO WILLIE
For Fiv. Rounds the Philadelphian Beat Up the New Yorker
 Other Stiff Battles.

New York, June 10.--With the eX- ception of one round, the last, Harry Lewis of Philadelphia outpointed Willie Lewis of this city in a six round bout at the National A. G., in East Twenty-fourth street, last night. It was the first appearance here of Willie Lewis since his trip to France, where he beat a number of second raters, and as a result the club house was crowded. For five rounds the men, .who are light middleweights, fought cleanly and with much sci ence.
 Willie Lewis used straight left with some effect, but he missed countless blows because of the agility of his opponent on the defensive. Harry Lewis on the other hand was the master as to cleverness, and land> ing greater number of clean cut punches he had wide margin at the end of the fifth round.
 When the sixth round began Will lie Lewis, slugger pure and simple, cut loose. He swung right and left with great force to the head and body, jarring his antagonist before half a minute had elapsed. But Harry Lewis was willing to meet him half way, the result being a fierce mixup, hammer and tongs, which lasted to the gong. Both men were weak and wobbly when the battle ended, but on points Harry Lewis still had an advantage.
 There was an exciting preliminary between Frank Thomas of Wales, for merly in the English army, and Harry Scroggs of Baltimore. Thom- as was cautioned three times by the referee, John White, for hitting on the breakaway, but Scroggs, who lost his head finally and resorted to but ting, was disqualified. The referee had to tear these men apart to end the scrap. There were several other bouts in which the fighting was fast and furious.

FREEzEoUT, SAYS TWISTED.
Gilbert School Not in the Basketball
 League.

Winsted, June 1O.-Friends of the Gilbert School basketball team which has held the interscholastic championship of the state for the past three seasons, feel that the movement on the part of representa- lives of some of the high schools of the state to organize an interschol- astic league without advising the To- cal school of their intention or in- viting them to join, Is an effort to freeze the local team out next sea- son and a rank injustice.
 For three years Gilbert has been represented by one of the fastest school teams in New. England and It's reputation has gone to the most remote corners of the basketball world. The members of last sea- sons team were children as com pared with some of the other school teams of the state and yet they cleaned up the best that Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York had t0 ofer winsted Is a live basket hall town and the Gilbert team has been about the only redeeynIng fea- ture of interscholastlc basketball in this state and 1t seems like a rank injustice to organize such a league without even mentioning the matter to them. If local cranks figure cor reetly it is a scheme to freeze GT- bert out and a New Britain or Bris- tol mind Is behind the scheme.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

enth Shlncel was passad---and, by the way, Herman drew four passes in five times up-but Murphy forced him at second this time. Rogers sin gled, sending Murphy to third, and lost no time in stealing second. It was up to Frank Fitzpatrick, but Hodge was there all the time and struck Fitzy out.
 Art Nichols led off in tEe eighth with base rap to middle field. Swander tried to scarifice him, but went out on bunt strikes. A hign close ball caught the handle of Null laney's bat and bounded off to the grand stand. The batter tied a handkerchief around his hand and claimed that he had been hit, and Rorty sent him to first. Lachance hit at Perkins and Nichols was out at third. Perkins's pedals failed to stop Toners tap, and Mullaney tried for home from second base, when Hambaeher made fast return and looked as though he had Mullaney, when the ball struck Rorty in the back a few feet from the rIate, and Mullaney was sent back to third Shincel was passed, forcing in Null fancy, and Tighe's punishment fol- lowed. After Rorty had called a ball on Murphy, Ahearn said something that resulted in his retirement. Hodge burned one over the center to Rogers, and his hit to right scored two more runs.
 In the ninth Nichols and Swander singled and Mullaney sacrificed, the first pair scoring on double by La chance. Toner and Shincel were passed and when Shincel Was forced at second, Holyoke played dopily and two runs came oyer. The score:

LOST ON A FOUL.

At Baltimore after having his man beaten to a standstill, Cecil Kilrain, son of Jake Kilrain, lost his fight to Kid Gibson in the third round on a foul. The result was disappointing to the 5000 spectators, as Kilrain proved early in the battle that he was Gibson's master. The unfortun- ate foul came near the close of the third round, Kilrain shot a right up- percW for the body and the blow wentI low, catching Gibson in the groin and doubling him up like a jackknife. Up to the time of the abrupt ending, Kilrain had all the better of the contest. He assumed the aggressive from the start. using his left to the stomach and right to the face. After the first round it seemed only question of how long Gibson would last.

"Slats'' Davis, who in his day was the best college first base:nan in America-this was when he was playing with the University of Penn sylyania-tOok up professional ball after leaving college and would have made a great success of it had it not been for Slats's dininelinati0n for a regular daily showing up at the ball park. He left the east sad drifted out west, where he is now engaged in umpiring in the Pacific Coast league. Prior to this Slats was one of the candy kid players cut on the slope. and for awhile in 1904 he was managing the Salt Lake City ball club. which Is we'll supported by the folks out there.
 Now. according to Slats. the Nor mons are just as anxiols for free passes to the game as are their more numerous gentle brethren. and after Slats had been in Salt Lake some time and had become acquainted by costly experience with conditions there he uas approached by a Nor mon friend for a pass 10 the game for himself and family.

New Britain, June 10.---One or two changes in the makeup of the local base ball nine. wouldn't De out of order. Another defeat from Bridge port, which is two straight, was re- ceived yesterday afternoon at the Electric field.

 Neither Cuban was in the game yesterday. Mclaughlin WIS in the box for the first part of the game and Chappie Ward went in in the sixth. Ghappie held the visitors down. The score:

Del Howard of the Chicagos, with an average of .340 in fifteen games is the real head of the National league cloutsmen to date. The fea- ture of the week was the hard hit ting of Hans Wagner of the. Pitts burgs, who added 20 points to his mark. Hummell continues to be Brooklyn's best sticker, but Silent John is slumping. His drop in a week was from .291 to .282. Joe O'Rourke is hitting for .227 with St Louis.
 Pitcher George Mullin of the De- troits has pushed his way to first place in the list of American league swatters. Rossman of the Detroits stands ninth. with .319, a;id he has made the most base hits of any play CT in the American league. 4s@

WON IN THE TENTH.

Hartford, June 1O.--In a belated victory yesterday. Hartford shut Meriden out fin ten innings and re- tained her proud position at the head of the column. The game was char acterized by fine pitching by both Wilson and Halligan. some horrible base running by Meriden and an ab- sence of ump-baiting. Moves was first up for Hartford and he only hit for two bases. Yancey Dunted in front of the plate and the play was made on Moves at third, but he was safe and Hogan reached first. Jus tIce rolled one to Robarge, who fum- bled. Moves could have scored on this play. but he did not know that the ball would be fumbled and didn't start. 0'Leary hit to Pastor and Tony fumbled it. When. he threw to the plate it was too late as Moves had crossed the panorama. The score:
