DAY night put the Pirates in the lead by two
games. In this game Wilkinson had hlgh
game with 164, while soderholm had high
total with 435.
The victory Of the Athletics in the first
match was almost solely due to the great

in Tuesday nights bowling he had high
game for the night with score Of 215'
which so pins ahead Of the high game
in the second match. Fenner also was far
ahead in high total, his score Of 613 for the

officials of the Upland Athletic Asso-
citation of Chester this morning confirmed
the report that j. Franklin Baker had
signed TO play with the baseball club rep
resenting that organization This prob
ably means that the Atnieucs home-ruh
merchant will not join his former team
mates Wednesday night when they leave
for Boston,
According to the terms of the docu-
mcnt which Baker signed at Chester he
will remain with that team until ne de-
cides to return to the Athletics What
salary Baker is to receive for services
i'm Chester cannot be learned. However,
Bake" is likely to get a fairly good sum,
as the Upland club is backed and financed
by John L. Grocer, baseball bug ana
millionaire of Chester.
The Upland team is In the Delaware
County League This league is not in
organized baseball, which accounts Tor
the fact that Baker was able to sign
contract. He could not according to the
laws of baseball. sign with any club in
organized baseball unless he had been
sold by Connie Mack. or else all clubs in
the major leagues had waived on him,
The Delaware County League has
games on Saturdays and holidays only,
hence. Bakers duties as n baseball player
in that organization will not be heavy.
Baker will report next Saturday for the
first time, when the Upland team meets
Rockdale in an exhibition game at Ches-
ter. on the following Saturday the
league opens. Thus far Baker has done
no practice work with his bush-league
friends of Delaware County.
1t is understood that Frank Miller who
conducts the business of the Upland team,
signed Baker at the behest of Grocer.
Connie Mack said this morning that he
knew nothing of the signing of Baker by
the Upland Club, nor did he care whether
he did or not.

Jimmy Taylor railroaded over from
New York, held on and stalled through
six rounds with Louisiana in the wind
up at the Olympia A. a. last night. col
lected his purse, and railroaded back to
the metropolis. The local lad, although
wild throughout the encounter and over
anxious in his endeavor to connect with
a finishing punch, was an easy winner
at the conclusion of hostilties.
At the beginning of the set-to Louisiana
landed two consecutive left hooks with
plenty of steam behind them, but the big
burg boxer stood up under the blows
without weakening, Then the Philadel-
phian began to shoot haymakers at Tay-
lors jaw, but the latter had little trou-
BILE in making the local entry miss, In
fact, Louisi fell to his launches on two
occasions as a result of missing wild
left swings to the jaw
LouisI tipped the beam at 11Sla pounds
and Taylor scaled H.

night. Lew Tender, 1864, added another
