LENAHAN BEATEN BY JIM SAVAGE
Orange Fighter Hangs 1t on New
Workers. Jaw in Fifth
Round.

NEW YORK, March 1S.--Jim Savage,
the Orange. n. j., fighter, asst night
knocked III Tom Lenahan in the fifth
round at the Brown A. A. on Twenty
third street. this city. The bout was
to have gone six rounds. Lenahan has
a long string of victories to his credit,
and lowered over Savage and weighed
in at 17S pounds. Savage tipped the.
beams at 100. a large amount of money
changed hands. followers of Savage
backing their man heavily.
The first round was bitterly fought
by the two men, and the New Yorker
used swings with telling effect. and
several times drove Savage to he
ropes. The latter. however. was in
pink condition and recovered rapidly.
He used a left iab to advantage. In
the second Savage seemed TO have the
lead II d the local man stalling
for a short time. Lenahan's weight
proved a telling factor during the
round, n he held Savage off safely
till the bell rang. The third round wa
even all around.
The fourth round found both men a
trihe weak from their work
OF the previous round, but they lost
no time in mixing it. Friends of the
Orange boy got worried just before the
bell rang, when Lenahan forced him
to his corner and sent in a volley of
short swings to the stomach that had
plenty of steam behind them.
1t was only a short lived squirt. how
ever, as Savage began a return with
rights to the jaw and forced the New
Yorker back.
The fifth was the llvellest of all.
From the tap of the gong savage,
urged on by his handlers and friend
drove In a series of lefts to the stomach
that made his opponent vince. After
the round had progressed a little more
fhan a minute Savage caught L.enahan
with a wicked right to the stomach,
and before the New Yorker could re-
cover whipped over his right to the
Jaw and Lenhan hit the canvas hard.
After the ten seconds were counted
OH the beaten man was assisted to his
corner and did not fully revive for
nearly two minutes. The result of the
bout means a fight with Sailor Burke
and Savage, and arrangements for it
will be made shortly. Savage is con-
fident he can do the trick to the former
sailor. He will also attempt to get on
several more matches.

sold to Boston last season, but Presi-
dent Dewey neglected to mail him a
contract within the specified time, so
Dessau became a free agent. He has
signed with the Baltimore Eastern
League Club.
Pitcher Ernest Green, who was
bought from the Buffalo Eastern
League Club, has decided not to play
ball at all this season. He has recently
opened a dentist parlor in Providence.
and says he cannot afford to leave his
business now. He was satisfied with
the salary offered and had no kick as

ground. But now. Bay is not to be de-
MED, as the Silver is as full of gin
ger and agility as he was during the
first four years he wore a Cleveland
uniform.
If he keeps on at his present gait it
will worry Manager Laioie consider
ably as to which man he will locate in
centre, Birmingham is much the better
thrower and car cover ground accepta-
bly,. His batting last year, however,
was not up to the mark expected Of an
o%uthelder. but that was largely caused
by his pulling away from the plate. If
he conquers that fault and bats as well
as he did last spring and the way he
really should with his ye. strength
and speed, he is liable to be the regular
centre fielder. ON the other hand. Bay.
when in form. is a much better run get
ter and all-around mar on the bases.
In fact, when right, he win get on tho
bases much oftener than Birmingham
did last year.
The pair are so radically opposite in
their styles that Manager Lajoie has
to do a lot of figuring, and it may be
that he will decide to use Bay against
right-handed pitchers and Birmingham
against the southpaws.
Manager Lajoie is perfectly willing
that Elmer Flick should work to suit
himself this spring. Elmer has re-
ported the lightest In many a year and
his weight was still further reduced
by his attack Of stomach trouble. Con-
sequently, he must build up again, and
he n do hat If he works out as
hard as the others. Very likely, he
will take part in most of the fve-in-
ming practise games. but outside of
that he viii just fool around enough to
keep away the soreness that generally
comes to every ball player in the
spring. For thelsake of team work he
is needed in the practise games.

game went nine innings, and at the
finish some of h athletes were ready
to a the count. II never was any
hotter at the Polo Grounds in midsun-
mer than it was here yesterday. A
breeze brought some relief, but the
heavy men of the squad were much af-
focted by tho heat.
Two pitchers, who had done scarcely
n real work down here, got into the
afternoon game. George Wiltse hurled
three innings for the Colts. He mad
fair speed, but tried no curves. The
surprise of the day was the form dis
played by John Mckinney, the big
oXnan from oyster Bay. Mckinney
has been here a month. but had not
benefited much thereby, as his bad
side prevented him from taking any
exercise for more thar two weeks.
Last Saturday, however, he felt good
and, though the team was absent. he
got out and pranced about a bit. He
also worked out with McGinnity. Wiltse
and O,Brien Yesterday, and after he
warmed up yesterday he had sizzling
speed and a jump ball that had the
batters guessing.
Mckinney twirled the last three inn
ings for the regulars and let them down
with one hit. Bresnahan handled his
speed well and told McGraw after the
game that the big fellow had some
thing McGraw thinks so, too, and he
will a k Mckinney up to Dallas the
latter part of the week with the inten-
tion of pitching him in the Saturdays
game.
All Of the pitchers except Malarkey
and Beecher worked in the afternoon
game. Mathewson and McGinnity pre-
coded Mckinney, while Ames started
for he colts and crandall finished
the game. Ames had a lot of speed,
but his control was not good.
