home beaten, 2 to 1. The Newarkers
showed their ability, n but for a

which resulted in two runs, the Plauts
would have scored an easy victory.

hard-hit bah. There were two Passaie
men on bases at the time, and In
throwing to first to get the runner the
ball went to the ~bleachers, and the
harm was done. The official scorer,
however, was kind to Burns and did
not chalf up ar error against him.

purse of SIS, 900 raised for the battle,
but it fell through, and the Boxer"
lost a possible chance Of getting his
name gilded on the pages OF pugilistic
history. He kept on lighting until he

then the buffets of real life are not TO
