looks easy, it was a hard fight all the

Francisco, in their twenty-round bat
tie at Vernon yesterday. Williams's
terrific inhghting gave him the VIC
tory, although Campi rallied in the
last round and administered more
punishment than he had inflicted in
all the other rounds combined.
There was not a tame round in the
twenty. Several times Williams over
whelmed Campi with his rushing tao
tics and had the San Franciscan
hanging on the ropes, but, campi's
reeuperative powers saved him. In
the last round the Californian rallied,
and in a tigerish onslaught had the
Baltimorean dizzy, but this spectacu-
lar finish could not overcome the long
early lead earned by Williams.

&C us. Yesterday they counted
Charley and his early opening at
BROOKLYN down and out. Today Eb-
bets hobs up serenely contented, for
Philadelphia opens at Brooklyn on
April 8.
Ebbets has left no stone unturned
in his efforts to put a championship
team in the field here and certainly
deserves the 1913 streamer as re-
ward.
Cincinnati came close to getting the
cream of the National League sched-
ule with eighteen Sundays and thir-
teen Saturdays at home.
The Philadelphia Brooklyn opening
at Ebbets Field a day before the
regular big league season is scheduled
to start will not hurt the Giants at
tendance figures in the least. 1t should
benefit both the Brooklyn and New
York clubs
The Pirates will do the most travel
ing this season. Clarke's men are
scheduled to cover 12,s42 miles. Phila-

mileage, Dooin's men covering only

Rould allow Ty Cobb to slip through

here that Cobb will not spend an
other season in Detroit livery. Cobb
is about tired of the City of Straits.
and his fellow ball players are jealous
of him, all of which causes dissension
and dissatisfaction in the ranks Of the
Detroit team. If Cobb is sold in the
zenith of his career he will bring the
