Cornell and Seamen Gunners-5:3O.

something to do in deciding the cham

Joe, fresh back from college, is making
quite a reputation for himself In this
strong organization. Yesterdays game
made it his third straight victory and
the stuff he had on the ball indicates
that he is going to be one Of the leading
pitchers at the close of the season. En-
gle's performance yesterday was the best
of the three, because he allowed the
less number of hits and was up against
the strongest team in the league outside

famed seven.
Sylvester, one OF the new recruits,
started the battle for the losers and he
proved to be easy pickings for last years

the three innings he OBLIGATED. Hummer
was sent in at the start of the fourth
and he held them down hitless and run
less for the last six innings. The nine
bingles that were recorded by Cornell
were all garnered off Sylvester's delivery.
Howard, another college player who
plays with Cornell University team and
also with American Security and Trust
team, made his debut with the winners.
His playing at third was one OF the fea-
lures OF the game, as he handled five
chances, a couple of which were very
difficult, in big league style.
The Bumpers played errorless ball. but
they could not hit.

seems to lose his fighting edge and his
work partakes rather of the nature of
boxing exhibition.
A Comparison.
Both men have fought the same fight
ers on two occasions and curiously each
has had a knockout and a draw as the
result of those fights. The best that
Moran could do was to get draw when
he fought Burns: Wolgast was credited
with a knockout. When they fought
Nelson, the Englishman secured the
knockout. while Wolgast stayed in the
ring for forty rounds with the Battler
and was finally awarded the decision,
though no knockout was made.
This year Wolgast's principal fights
have been with Knockout Brown. win
ming one and losing the first Moran's
best engagement was with Packey Nc
Farland, which he lost to the Chicago
fighter.
Wolgast has engaged In seventy-five
fights since he first donned the gloves
His first recorded battle was with Young
Nelson. and 1t required but three rounds
to knock him out. During his career as
fighter he has been credited with twenty
knockouts. One twenty-round affair is
Lew Powell in San Francisco in 1908, and
was declared a draw. His greatest fight
was the Foreground affair with Battling
Nelson.
Not q Knockout Man.
Moran has not been so fortunate in
putting his men away before the TWEEN
tieth round. and he has fought six more
fights OF that number of rounds or more
than Wolgast has. Four of them were
twenty-round bouts. and in three the de-
cision went his way. The other was
awarded to Jow Bowler in London In
1903. In the same year he came to this
country and defeated Monte Attell, in
New York He returned to England. but
came back In 1907 to fight Abe Attell, in
San Francisco The fight was a draw
after going twenty-three rounds. He
knocked Eddie Hanlon out in twenty
rounds in the same city a year later.

Chattanooga, March 16.-Eminent physI- clans were again on the stand In the trial of the case of the United States vs. a number of barrels and kegs of coca-cola, being heard in the federal court in this city. United States District Attorney James B. Cox and Special Assistant Al torney W. B. Miller put the doctors through long line of questioning.
 The first witness of the day was Dr. John A. Witherspoon, professor of medi- cine in vanderbilt university, Nashville. Dr. Witherspoon testified that from his observation in his practice he had known of from 30 to 40 cases where people havo become addicted to the coca-cola habit, and that at least three of these have been taken to hospitals. He said they suffered from nervousness, sleeplessness and indigestion. He declared that the whisky habit was easier to break than the coca -cola habit.
 Dr. James T. Searcy, general super intendent of insane asyluu1s in Alabama, stated on the stand that he had under his supervision 2150 insane persons and that insanity Is rapidly on the increase in Alabama. He stated that the last census showed an increase of IS per cent in pop ulation in Alabama and that his records show an increase of 45 per cent In m
