Peoria copped the peanut yesterday
afternoon at the expense of the Island
ers, winning by score of 4 to l. The
local aggregation was the first to score
but played a listless game and was.
never really very dangerous to Man
ager Donnelly's team. Lakaff was on
the mound for Rock Island, and some
how or other Frank didn't seem to
have that powerful left wing of his
working in proper shape. Eight hits
were gathered in off his shoots and
curves, and the worst of it was that
they usually came at the most inoppor
tune times, with the result that scores
were made.
The one score of the Islanders arriv-
ed in the second inning. Mcbride led
off with a hit, and Berger sacrificed,
Wilson sllied out to Cuthbert, and then
Eng did his usual stunt and soaked a
long single into left field, on which
Mac came home. Gus went to second
on the play, but died there when La
kaff was thrown out ar first.
fOur bItS anu No
In the fifth inning the Islanders
Ought to have scored at least two runs,
as they secured four hits off West.
Poor base work, however, spoiled the
chances. Wilson led off with an in
field hit, and minute later was caught
mapping at first. Eng followed with a
hit, but was forced out at second when
Lakaff grounded one to Smith. Mclean
came up with the third hit of the in
ming. and Frank went to second Stark
managed to poke one through the in
field, and another hit was registered,
and the bases were filled, with two
men gone. Murphy's attempt was a
grounder to Dean, who threw him out
at the initial sack and ended the in
ming.
Peoria Gets Plenty.
Peoria made two runs in the third
and one, in the sixth and another in
the seventh. The two in the third
were the result of a base on balls
given to West, a two -sacker off the bat
of Johnson, and single by Dean after
tHdI. ne score IN 1ne SlXtn was the
result of another base on balls, Hodges
being the man who registered the tally.
After being passed, he stole second AMI
came home on Higgins hit which pass
ed over third base out of Kelley's
reach. In the seventh Berger's error
gave West a life, and when he was
thrown out at second minute later, ii
allowed Johnson to occupy the first
sack. Johnson then proceeded to steal
second and then third, Eng failing to
catch him each time. He and Rowan
worked the squeeze play successfully
and Johnson tailed while Rowan made
a martyr of himself. The next man
rolled one to Wilson, who threw him
out at first. The score:

White man Merely Chopping Block,
Going Down i'm Fourth Round
From Right to Jaw.

London May 25.-Sam Langford, the
Boston negro, knocked out Ian Hague
champion of England, in the fourth
round of a scheduled 2O-round fight be-
fore the National Sporting club last
night. The battle was for purse of
$4,000 and the English heayyweights
title.
There never was such a crowd here
as assembled to see this fight A large
proportion of the spectators were
Americans. Harry Payne Whitney and
the members of the American polo
team were early on the scene. Inter
est was intensified by the bouts bear
ing on future events in the United
States.
There was plenty of money on Lang
ford, Americans backing him literally
at , to 1. But supporters of the York
shire man were confident of his abil-
ity to gain the decision, banking on
the English fighters long reach and
greater weight. Before the fight Lang
ford tipped the scales at 15S pounds
and Hague at 1876 pounds. Hague was
four inches taller.
Hague Tries Body Blows.
Hague evidently had been instructed
TO play for the Americans body, but
although he attempted some tremen-
dous blows, they either were wasted
or blocked off by the negro, whoce
skill amounted TO more than the Eng
lishman's strength. Hague proved
slow throughout the fight. His best
work was in the second round, but he
did not appear to know how to take
advantage of his superior reach and
all the time Langford kept jabbing
with his left.
Hague tired perceptibly in the third
round and lost great chance when
Langford, in swinging with his left
failed to land and left him unguarded
Langford sent his left home to the
Englishmans face frequently and the
negro's right eye was closed by q
hard right from Hague.
Shows Superior Skill.
In the fourth and final round the
InegroS superior skill and activity was
shown in a marked manner He seem
ed to be all over the Englishman, who
simply took his pounding gamely. The
end soon came. Langford sent il
three quick jabs with his left, ther
crossed a terrific right to the point OF
the chin. Hague went down and was
counted out.
Referee Corey, in announcing the
verdict, declared Langford champion
of the world.
