Henry Morgenroth, a brother Of Billy,
is a future star OF the game. Henry is
only II years old and played his first
semi-professional game with the Madi-

will leave for Petersburg tomorrow,
having recovered from his attack OF

Karl Victor has endeared himself to
local fans by his second win over Bill
Collins, who thought up to last night,
when he met Victor at Troxler's Central
Institute, that he was O coming light
weight. Victor easily defeated Collins
and would rave probably scored a knock
out if he had been a little more care
fdl. His Inconsistencies cost him the
credit of a X. o. on his record book.
Victor from the tap of the gong went
at his man. Collins played a game of
cover-up. But even at that Victor slipped
across a right smash to the point of the
Jaw. Collins staggered a bit and man
aged to hold till the bell. II would have
been ''curtains' had he played any other
game. But then. too, Victor lost his
noodle and was easily the goat for
Collins's seconds It's up to Billy Proc
tor to teach his protege that losing ones
goat in the ring often spells defeat.
Victor, on the whole, fought like n
Champ and did all the work. The
crowd was thoroughly disguised with the
methods of Collins and would have
gladly seen him taken from the ring.
His ambition seemed to be just to stay
the limit of four rounds, which he did.
But he would have received more praise
IL he had been knocked out.

ATLANTIC CITY MAY
ENTER THE TR|-STATE

ALLENTOWN, Pa, June 4.-Rumors
are rife here of an early shift in the
makeup of the Tri-State League. With
the collapse of the United States League
at Reading that city is clamoring for a
ball team, and Atlantic City is also
said to be looking for a franchise.
Officers of the league state that AL
toona and Johnstown are not drawing
the necessary support at nome and 1t is
likely that unless the attendance picks
up in those towns one or both of the
cities will be transferred. 1t is thought
that q team al Atlantic City, especially.
would prove a paying investment, and
Reading would furnish the natural foil
to create rivalry with Allentown.
If the transfers are made the makeup
Of the Tri-State league will be exactly
as predicted by Governor Tener when he
visited Allentown before the opening
of the season.

Had he been given good support the
score would have been much smaller.
Ordinary flies that should have been
caught dropped safe In back of the
Academy infield almost every inning.
The st. Benedict team practically
cinched the game in the third inning
when 1t showed eleven runs over the
home station. 'Pud' Madden worked
well with men on the bases. He allowed
but six hits and was a tower of
strength.
The st. Benedict team defeated the
East Side nine In a second game,
having lost an early season contest to
them. so the East Siders are put slight
ly In the shade with their claim. A
third game between the two would de-
eide the issue without doubt.

RALPH AND DE ORC
GET INTO DISPUTE

TRENTON. June 4 The pocket
billiard match between Alfred De Orc
and Edward Ralph for the championship
title, which was to have been concluded
here last night. ended most unsatisfac-
torily. With the score favoring Ralph
6S7 to 5ss, a discussion arose as to the
calling of a ball by De Orc. Ralph
claimed hat the ball was not called
by the Cuban. Referee Levy uphed
him In his claim, but later reversed his
decision. and a long argument resulted.
II was finally decided to discontinue
the match and play another 6O0-point
match next Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday nights. Before the opening of
the evenings play De Orc led in the
scoring, 5ss to 495. Last evenings match

Kirkpatrick Helps
the Tigers Wonderfully

Gentlemen, If you want to see a future
wan to see the best second baseman In
the minor leagues for aii-around ability,
just float down to Wiedenmayer's Park
this afternoon or to West Side Park, Jer-
sey City, tomorrow afternoon and rlyet
your eyes on Enos Kirkpatrick.
At various intervals last winter hinge
nosegays and bouquets coming from vari-
Gus sources were tossed at Kinks feet,
but none of them were half sweet enough
or commensurate in any way with Kirk
patrick's skill as a baseball craftsman
and bulb" bumper.
The oldest part of the story is that
very few outside of Larry Sutton, who
picked him up for Brooklyn, expected
much Of Kirkpatrick. His home IS in
Pittsburgh, Pa, and he is a member of
the Beltzhoover Athletic Club, which also
produced Otto Knabe and many other
athletes of renown who are ekeing out
a poor existence In the big league
arena, but no one--that Is hardly anyone
thought that Enos would have even a
small chance of bu~ttingtinto the regu-
lar lineup.
Kirkpatrick was the crack third-sacker
of the Dayton Central League champions
last season, but what bush league
red light bag guardian had a fighting
chance of replacing Eddie Zimmerman.
the human dynamo of activity? Kirk
did not lave a chance, for Eddie Is the
best third baseman In the universe, but
Kirk" is versatile, and the very first
day of training at Petersburg showed
that the quiet, unassuming and unos-
tentatious infelder a more to recon-
mend him than his sturdy physique and
his pleasant smile. He goes about his
work In such a deliberate, smooth,
and vet with such celebrity that no fan
holds his breath in the tight places when
a grounder, hot or cold. is hit in Kirk
patrick's direction.
So far a minute inspection through
the telescope of cold and critical analy-
sis has failed to detect a single flaw In
the Gem on second base.
As the season has progressed and the
weather warmed up Kirkpatrick's work
has improved until now he is on a pin
pacle by himself as the best second
sacker in the international League.
Even more of a surprise than his
agility as a fielder Is his ability as a
stick wielder. kirkpatrick, he first to
face the enemies pitcher daily. has the
task of fathoming the opposing fingers
deceitful delivery and burning speed be-
fore any of his comrades. Setting the
, pace is no easy job In any walk Of life,
but Kirk has shown symptoms of de-
~veloping into the best lead-off man we've
had here in Newark since Josh Devore
used to lead off nearly every day with a
safe hit.
A peculiar point about his pill punish
ing is the fact that he hits just as hard
to right centre as he does to left; indeed
two of his three home runs were drives
to right centre, the one he made yester-
day and the one he made at Rochester
rolling almost precisely to the same spot.

X. O. BROWN
DOWN TWICE
Leach Cross Administers Sound
Thrashing to the Blonde
German Boxer.

1t used to be the boast of Knockout
Brown n his admirers that he was
never-not even on~ce-knocked down in
all his battles. Leach Cross, the fight
Ing dentist, washed away the blonde
southpaw's big honor at the Madison
Square Garden A. C. in New York last
night, however, when he administered to
the K. o. a sound trounclng. Thrice
In the course of ten rounds Brown went
to h mat with right and left-hand
blows to the jaw, but the Dutehman on
each occasion was up in a jiffy, and
was always ready to heal the music
from Leach's swift right. 1t was the
consensus of opinion hat Brown suf-
fered the worst beating of his career
IN the seventh session. The bell proba-
bly, just saved him from a sure knock
out. 1t was a wonder that he ever
stood up against the terrible onslaught
from Cross.
He came out in fair condition but full
Of fight, and, as he had done time and
time before, started to lead with a left
10 the body. Leach bored in, and when
the Dutchman tore off a right to the
head Cross stepped back, then stepped
IN close and whipped in a terrific right
10 the point of the chin. Brown went
down with a bang, but like a flash he
leaped up to carry the fight.
Again Leach smashed a left against
TX. O.'s jaw. Then, measuring a right
10 the body, he sent 1t home. The blow
handed clean and fair over the pit of
Browns stomach and the Dntchman's
hands dropped to his side while he
SRsped for wind. He lurched into a
lehnch and hung on for deal life until
the bell. He was bleeding from the
mouth and nose.
Brown started the big event of the
night shiftily. He had the first round
by a good margin. The second round
saw the tide turn, however. and from
then on until the end Cross held SUI
preme. Leach sooped his first knock
down in the ourth with a right upper
cut TO the chin. After that blow Brown
seemed to lose considerable strength.
Brown tumbled out Of the ring in the
first session, but was helped back by
his opponent. Knockout slipped and
went to the floor at the start of the
fifth, but was again up instantly. A
moment later he was sent to the mat
with a straight left from Leaoh's glove.
Again Cross flashed a hard right TO the
Jaw and Brown fell hard against the
vopes. Brown ended the session with a
light left to the face. Again in the
sixth Cross staggered Brown with a left
to the jaw. Brown fought the best
during the last minute of the final round,
sending over. four successive lefts to
saw, and Leaoh's knee seemed to bend.
but the bell sounded and all was over.

His other homer was a drive to left field.
Kirk has an unusual position at the
plate, though a very good one; he staaes
almost th~ree-quarters facing the pitcher,
and when in this position he pulls hard
to left field.
His first long drive yesterday. which
was recorded as a double, would ordi-
narily have been a triple II Lee, who
was on base, had not saved himself in
running from first to third on the smash.
| Over in Jersey City Kirk would have
had a homer on that drive, too, for the
ball never would have stopped rolling.
Besides his double and homer yesterday
Kirkpatrick led off with a single in the
first inning, doubled in the third and hit
for the circuit in the fifth.
In the last twelve games Kirkpatrick
| has reached first base thirty-one tines
an average of 90 per game-almost thrice
in every game-which you must admit Is
travelling a little bit. His record for
those twelve games-since he began to
| pick up in his hitting. follows:
alb. ID. h. BIB. hip. s.b. s.h. ave,
AZ 81 Is II 8 2 .351
He reached first base once in those
twelve games on an error and nee he
forced a man. so that he earned the
right to the bag decisively twenty-nine
| times In twelve games. During that
| time he drew eleven passes, almost n
per game, was hit three times and sac
rificed twice. He had three doubles
and two homers In his collection OF
hits.
Kirk also has two stolen bases in
those twelve games, but these figures
do not show his ability as a base run
| ner. because Doc Bernard. hitting be-
| hind him, generally does his best to get
Kirk down to second on the hit and
run. and Enos does not have as many
opportunities to steal for that reason.
Lees Fifth Victory.
Wyatt Lee won his fifth consecutive
victory yesterday by defeating the
Skeeters. Wyatt aided in the Tigers
9-3 victory by driving out two runs and
scoring two more himself. The major
portion of the run-getting honors were
divided between Lee, kirkpatrick and
Swacina. Swats cleaned up with a
double while the bases were filled and
scored Kirkpatrick in the first with n
clean hit to centre. Swacina had a sin
gle, a double and a base on balls. Kirk
patrick's homer drove home Lee. His
hits generally come when they count.
his circuit swat last week coming with
two on base. Larry Schafy used
Doescher, a southpaw, and Hageman,
a Highlander, to stop the Tigers, and
after both failed he put in Joe Agler.
Agler looked very good on the slab
and held the Tigers scoreless in the last
three rounds.

one of the most promising young boxers
In the East. Another ten-round contest
was scheduled to bring together Patsy
