chance With BLACKBURN

X. o. Harry Baker. the Wilmington
middleweight. has at last been given
the chance OF another match with
Jack blackburn, the wonderful col
ored boxer, who defeated Baker few
weeks back in a sensational bout at
the Broadway Athletic Club, Phua-

how Blackburn beat him. He does not
want to take any credit from the col
ored lad, and will not dispute the
newspaper decisions. But he has been
brooding over the matter ever since
and asking for a return match in
order TO prove his contention that he
is Blackburn's master, which he
really believes he is. Blackburn
finally agreed and they are TO meet
at the same club on Thursday night
Baker has been training faithfully for
the bout and reports himself in til

the baths. Those he worked over the
hurdles were Crockett who holds the

Kite. Hearne, Alexander, Meyers ant
Graves.
Some OF the baseball candidates
