Bostonian Has Fighting Den,
tist' Holding On to Save
Himself in Ninth Round.

FATTY BALDWIN. the cracl,
IVU lightweight OF Boston. made his
e temperance in a bout in this
city after an absence OF nearly a year
and certainly mad good by deseating
Leach Cross. the dentist-nshter. in the
main go of ten rounds at the Nation Al
Sporting Club stag.
This was the second tim they fought
at the same club, Baldwin having been
disqualified in the first battle, which
was fought May 10, 1910, on a foul In
the eighth round.
In their bout last evening Baldwin
fought a careful fight, so as not to give
the referee q chance 10 d|isqualify him.
lie complied with the rules to the dot
To sum up the fight. It must be ad-
mitted that Baldwin had the better OF
seven rounds. as he not only outboxed
and outpointed Cross in these sessions.
but he also had Leach In a bad way
In the ninth with a couple OF swings
on the Jaw, which dazcd him to such an
extent that he clinchcd for dear life.
Baldwin showed In this bout that he
~ not only one of : e best liShtWcIghts
In h business. but also knows more
ring tactics n generalsh!p than half
the fighters In the ring. 1t was Matty's
knowledge OF the game that Won GU
Tor MN. for all through the battle he
pulled on stunts which gave him an
opening TO get in his hard wallops or
Cross. which put. Leach up in the air.
Baldwin's best work was done in the
clinches. Whenever they would come
together Baldwin would start right IN
to bang away at Cross's kidneys with
his right; then he would shift this blow
10 the stomach and then shoot up short
rights TO Cross's Jaw or head before
the referee would get a chance to break
them. Cross tried his hand at this
game. but Matty a always ready u
block his shor punches, and as a re-
ult few OF them cache their mark.
In the earlier rounds Cross Tough,
hard and managed to get home some
nice punches at long range to Baldwin
face and jaw. but tor every one OF these
blows that Leach landed Baldwin more
than repaid him by either throwing a
left swing into his stomach or hooking
him in the face or on the jaw.
While Gross was as aggressive as
usual. he made a serious mistake by
clinching Baldwin every chance he got,
wA!ch OF course gave Matty he oppor-
tunity he wanted OF getting In his
damaging blows to his stomach and
kidneys. Had Cross gone right along
and slugged with Baldwin he might
rave evened up the bout. az Baldwin
did not seem to be in the best OF shape,
and besides he might have got II more
punches than he DID.
Cross did not have the same steam be-
hind his blows as no has shown in other
battles. Several times he clipped Bald
win on tho chin, but Matty would only

Teams More Evenly Matched
Than They Have Been in
Several Seasons.

FOLLOWERS OF schoolboy baseball
are satisfied now that there Is
going TO be a zeal live fight for
premier honors in the Public Schools
Athletic League High School tourna-
ment this year. The mines are more
evenly matched than in years. as the
preliminary games have already shown.
Three years ago Commercial High
walked away with the tournament; two
seasons ago Morris g~allopcd away with
tho honors, and last year Commercial
had another easy time OF IL.
In the three divisions this season
there is not much difference between
the teams except the Queens section,
where Newtown seems to have a slight
ly stronger team than the other mines.
As a result of the Of play that
IS expected the tournament is coming in
for the interest n attention which II
should receive. II $ believed that the
forming OF a separate division for the
Queens schools has awakened a lit;le
more interest.
The tournament Rames to-day will be
as follows: Stuyvesant and Curtis. Com
merclal and Townsend Harris Hall in
the Observation-Disclosures section,
BOYS High and Commercial, Manual

division, and Richmond I'M and ia

%Stuyvesant, Curtis and Townsend Har-

this season. ~Stuyvcsant has a victory
