hardly oncesreached Rivers with a clean
telling blow, and all of the time he was
receiving terrific punishment.
White was knocked down repeatedly
by lefts to the jaw or right crosses to

second round left hook to the jaw sent
White to the mat for the count of nine.
White took the count again in the third

put the Chicago lad down after it had

The fifth round was slow and unevent-

was groggy when the bell sounded. He
came up stronger in the seventh and
tried to force the fighting, but his flash

The most impressive feature of the
team as it is now made up is the fact
that 1t appears to have much more bat
ting strength than it ever had before
Glance over the batting order and the
first six or seven men are all dangerous
at the bat. Mcbride has not the repu-
tation for being a slugger. but he is
always there with the timely hit. and
that counts whole lot. The first three

Little Eddie Foster Is going to be a

Foster shines at the bat and he Is still
