recognition was made necessary by the
resignation of the officials of the cir

The Dodge date on the circuit was
changed so as to coincide with the
date for the annual Old Soldiers re-
union, August 20, 81 and %. The for
mer date on the circuit was two weeks
earlier and the Dodge representatives
feared they could not get proper sup
port for two important meetings so
close together. The change was made
by switching the dates of Dodge City,
st. John and Kinsley.
The dates for the circuit as now ar
ranged are: Dodge, week beginning

The Pittsburg Pirates defeated the
Kaws Monday afternoon by the score
of to 4. The Kaws had the edge
on the visitors in every inning of the
contest excepting in the seventh when
they lambasted Pep Hornsby for five
hits and five runs. The Kaws hit hard
if not timely, and felded well.
Cochreham pitched the first five in
nings of the contest and had the Wis
itors eating out of his hand. They
two of these would have been turned
into putouts on an ordinary field.
Mensor led off and hit to the right
of Ollom, who knocked it down but the
grounds were SO slow he couldn't field
it. Rehg followed and hit one to
Snap but the sorrel top couldn't throw
his man out. Schussler got the other
hit to right field which went just over
Ollom's head. The two hits in the
first inning and a wild pitch allowed
the visitors one run.
Hornsby took the mound at the be-
ginning of the sixth inning and got
away unscathed. The visitors fell on
his shoots in the next inning. Bisland
beat out an infield hit. Eastman sac

in the first inning. Ollom led off with
a double and Dulin and Forsythe
scored him with singles.
McLarry struck out and Rapps sin
gled but Dulin was pinched at the
plate. McLarry hit for three bases in
the third inning with two men down
and died on the sack. Lee beat out a
hit to Eastman in the fourth and

LEACH CROSS-RIVERS.
Lightweights in Return. Match Before
New York Fans.

New York, April S-The much dis
cussed return bout between Leach
Cross and Mexican Joe Rivers will be
staged tonight at the reopening of the
St Nicholas Athletic club in the ST.
Nicholas rink and if the interest the
local fans have manifested in the en-
counter is to be taken as a criterion,
the rink will be damned to it's ca
pacity.
In their last match Leach was slight
ly outpointed by his Mexican rival,
but since that mill Leach has taken
the measure of almost all his oppon-
ents, and will be in better condition
for Rivers tonight than he has been
in many months.
Cross recent decisive victory over
Joe Mandot of New Orleans. who was
knocked out by Leach in the tenth
round, boosted Cross stock sky high.
Leach and Rivers are the logical con-
tenders for Ritchie's lightweight
crown and in all probability the win
ner of tonight's bout in the st. Nicho-
las rink will be pitted against the
champion in a 90 round mill on the
coast for the battle.
Cross looks as fit as a fiddle to
fight the hardest battle of his long ca
reer. He has trained faithfully and
has left nothing undone that would
place him in condition for the Rivers
bout.
Rivers trained at Dial Hawkins
road house in west chester and Will
be in as good condition for the mill
as when he made his debut in this city
with the dentist a few months ago.
The scrap will be worth going miles
to see.
The Mexican put the finishing
touches to his training yesterday at
DaI Hawkins where a large crowd of
boxing fans saw him in action. Joe
kept Abdul the Turk, busy in the
morning, the Mexican tearing into his
trainer to the amusement of the on
lockers. Joe did not only don the
gloves. but spent the afternoon with
the bat and ball. He pitched against
a picked team and showed that he
is as adept as a twirler as he is with
the nitts scoring q shutout victory.
