Blackburne Shows the Proper Spirit
Cubs Generous.

Why did the Sox win a ball game
yesterday? ... ~
It you were there you may think
it was due to the excellent pitching
Of Joe Benz, the star fielding of Buck
Weaver, or the error of Chick Gandil,
the Washington first baseman, in the
fourth inning.
Andto certain extent, all of those
answers are right, Gandil's error
was big factor, but the earnestness
Of Russell Blackburne made it pos
.sible for the Sox to get the full ad-
vantage from the slip.
One Sox had been retired and none
were on when Blackburne faced
Ayers, who pitched even better bah

Charlie White battered Joe AzeVedo
so badly in San Francisco last night
that the referee was forced to call
the battle in the 18th round to save
the Portuguese battler from a COM
plete knockout.
But it was costly victory for the
Chicagoan. He not only failed to add
luster to his brilliant record, but in
jured both his hands. And injured
hands are fatal to a pug. Possibly
the mftts will heal and be as good as
they ever were. But the injuries I'M
doubtedly weakened them, and there
is more chance for them to buckle the
next time Charlie goes against good
man.
White claimed that his right hand
was hurt in the third round and his
left in the eighth. It was noticeable
that he started several heavy waTlops.
but pulled them before they landed.
The bout was not exciting. Aze-
vedo took a lot Of punishment, but
there wasn't knockdown In the Is
rounds. At the close AzeVedo was
