stopped the slaughter before the fourth

The second bout between Tim Logan
and Jim Savage was a sloppy affair.
Savage landed the most effective blows
on his opponent, who was in poor con-
dition, and won handily.
In the third bout Frank Moran of
Pittsburg won from Sailor White of
New York. Moran used a good left jab
with telling effect in the early rounds
and staggered White so that he was
groggy and took a count of five at the
bell In the fourth round White rail-
lied and came back strong and used
two left hooks that hurt Moran. In
the fifth they stood toe and toe and

st. Louis. Mo-. April 1.-THE White
Sox bumped into another tight game
yesterday with the Browns and came
out with a victory after a thrilling
ninth inning in which they won the
game and almost lost 1t again. The
inal score was to 2. and a snappy
double play at the end prevented St.
Louis from tying the count.
The game belonged to the Sox. but
they were guilty of two errors that
nearly robbed them of it Without
these misplays the Browns probably
would not have scored at all, for Ed
die Cicotte was hurting in champion
ship style and held Stovalrs athletes
TO four singles In nine innings.
Cicotte was opposed by George
Baumgardner. the speedy Highlander
who gained fame last year in the big
league. The Sox damned him hard
enough to have won away off by them
selves. but his mates gave him bits OF
stalwart support in the field that
spoiled several openings for the Chi
cagoans- In the ninth inning the Sox
stampeded him and whaled out four
hits which sent two men home after
they had struggled eight innings tc
score only one.
