BATTLE FOR
THIRD BASE JOB
ON RED TEAM
Hans Lobert and Mike MOwrey
Rival Candidates on Gin
cinnati Club.

ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla, March 26.-
What a rafting good fight Hans Lobert
and Mike Mowrey are putting up for
the third base jobi ~ fh'
There is no doubt that the big Ger
man fits better at sack No. 3 than he
does in the shortstop position, and his
work shows that he is not worried,
now that the garden between third and
second bases practically has been
turned over to Hulswitt for keeps.
Lobert's speed seems to stand him in
good stead in his battle for the job he
now is trying to fill, and that will
count a lot in landing the position.
While Hans has the advantage Of fast
footwork. Mike seems to be the super
Tor of his stocky rival in the matter of
easy play. Mowrey overs third some
thing like our old friend, Biddy Nc
Phee, covered second-making hard
chances look easy and never going in
for grandstand applause.

MOODY SUB FOR
ROBSON, PUTS IT
ON MATTY BALDWIN
Quaker Fighter Furnishes New
England Champion with
Big Surprise. Z

BOSTON, March 26.--Willie Moody. of
Philadelphia, who took Spike Robson's
place at the eleventh hour, gave a great
exhibition at the Armory A.. A. last
night, when he went twelve rounds to
a draw with Matty Baldwin, of Charles
town. Baldwin had been training a
long time for the bout with Robson and
consequently he vas in the pink of con-
dition, while Moody slowed up consid-
erably during the latter half.
The fight was as pretty a one as has
been seen in this city for a long time.
During the first six rounds Moody es-
tablished such u long lead that the adj
vantage gained by Baldwin during the
remainder of the contest did no more
than even matters up. Moody boxed
carefully in the opening rounds, using
a straight left hat found Matty's face
to such an extent that the latter's lips
were soon puffed and bleeding.
There was considerable roughness and
both men fell down several times.
Baldwin used his right to the body in
the early rounds. but HI was rather
worried from the constant jabbing he
received in the face. In the sixth,
Moody began using a heavy right and
got it home several times to the head.
The seventh and succeeding rounds
were in favor of Baldwin. who improved
steadily, Moody being satisfied to stall.
Baldwin played for the body very effec-
lively and pounded his opponents kid
ney's when they went into clinches. In
the final round there was a hot ex-
change, with Baldwin having the better
of it.
