RAILROAD B OYS WERE BADLY
 BEATEN

The Cordova club had little trouble defeating the railroad team at the ball park yesterday afternoon. In fact they had a walk-over. This was largely due to the fact that the rail- roaders were weak in the box. Eddie Walsh started in to do the twirling, but was wild and ineffective. After a couple of innings Warren Taylor sue ceeded him as slab artist, but the pace the Cordovans had set was too fast, and nothing could stem the tide. Dick Kerwood was in the box for two innings, when Stephens relieved him, and after he had settled down he had his opponents at his mercy. After the nine innings had been played the scroe stood 21 to 4 in favor of Cordo- va, as the following shows.

Frank, his opponent. L. Lovseth next rendered fine violin solo, and Thos. Gillis gave several up-to-date vocal selections. Warren Taylor and Roy Anderson gave a fast and furious three-round exhibition of the manly art. Charles Games exhibition of Indian club swinging was clever. while Verne Elliott and Lewis Laska, Cordova's coming young artists, scored with one of the latest songs.
 The main event of the evening was the three-round boxing contest be- tween E. F. Medley and George Ken nedy, both of whom were primed and ready for action. They gave A very enjoyable exhibition and so far as we have been able to learn the referee has not as yet rendered a decision. Frank Jones rendered a vocal solo and Oscar Larson and J. Burton told swedish stories. George Hickman and Al John spared for three rounds, and the evenings entertainment con cluded with trapeze work by Billy Horseshoe and Phillips.
