DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
'HYlAND KNOCKS OUT LEACH
CROSS AFTER A GAME FIGHT.

Yorker tired of the aggressive, the Cali
fornian began to send in fierce volleys
and in a few rounds was trying for d
knockout.
Round after round he rushed his dark
skinned opponent around the ring. Cross
lean face took on look of permanent
distress and his brother and seconds did
not help him any by their wild coaching
from his corner. Hyland soon wearied of
his efforts to end the battle, and by the
3Oth round both boys were SO tired that a
good punch would have finished either.
but neither of them could produce it,
Then Hyland went to work in bulldog
fashion to batter his opponent down and
later he succeeded.
Cross was in deep distress at all times
after the Goth round, but he was game
as pebble, and his painful efforts to stay
the limit gained the sympathies of the
spectators. who cheered him almost con-
tiruously in the last few rounds. Had
Hyland been strong he could have fin
ished Leach at any time in the last 10
rounds. but he, too, was weary and his
blows lacked strength although each of
them hurt Cross. The latter, toward the
finish, had no defence at all. He stag
gered around the ring like a drunken
man and blood streamed from his unpro-
tected face but with indomitable spirit he
invariably raised himself before the fatal
10 could be counted over him.

TROLLEY LEAGUE STANDING.

Waterville, Me-, June 27-(SpeciaD.-
The Trolley League series opened in this
city Saturday Afternoon by the Taconnet
team of WinSlow defeating Hallowell in
an uninterestlng game save for the time
ly hitting of the whole Taconnet team
Tibbetts of Hallowell was landed on hard
for Is hits with total of 20 bases. while
Herd was hit safely only five times. the
hits being we'll scattered.
Taconnet captured the game in the first
inning when they rolled up six runs A
triple by Tibbetts. two-base hit by
Stobie and singles by Williams. WilIett
and Herd, coupled with several errors
netted the runs. They added another in
the second inning Hallowell scored two
in the second. Herd was trif1e wild
and allowed two free passes. Two singles
allowed the men to score. The Halllo-
we'll pitcher again went to pieces in the
fourth inning and five more runs were
scored by sharp hitting. Taconnet scored
their last run in the sixth. In the eighth
inning Hallowell took a brace and on a
combination of hits and errors on the
part of the Taconnet team scored three
times.
The Hallowell team will need greatly to
be improved in several positions if they
wish to contend for the pennant. Their
fielding was ragged at times and they
were unable to hit. There is also a
chance for improvement on the Taconnet
team. With several additions their team
will be able to stand we'll in the league.
The features of Saturdays game were
the hitting of Tibbetts. Stobie and Abbott
and the fielding of Gilley for the Halo
well team. Higgins took Willetts place
at second for the Taconnet team in the
sixth on account of an injury sustained
by Willett in running to first base.
