Ten hits were registered by the
Quakers in the first contest. but all of
them were of the paper variety, and
counted only in the official averages,
and when hit was needed to bring in
d run, none was forthcoming.
Red Ainsworth pitched his usual
good ball and the Chiefs gathered only
five hits, but an error by Donica in the
last round gave Fort Wayne run and
the game.
In the second game, Cummins, the
wheat BALI artist, held the Quakers
to six hits and Couchman was tapped
for eleven. In this contest, Smith, the
Chief backstop, was the big attraction,
founding out three hits in four times
up, and scoring three runs.

MANAGER -TOSSES
KlLBANE'S TOWEL
after KNOCKOUT
Featherweight Champ Un-
able to Stay With Light
weight Battler.

PHILADELPHIA, July 90 Land
ing a pile driving right squarely on
the chin, Benny Leonard of New York,
worlds lightweight champion, last
night knocked out Johnny Kilbane OF
Cleveland, worlds featherweight
champion, after two minutes and fifty
nineseconds of the third round ex-
PRED.
The terrific blow, a right cross,
sent the wonderful little Cleveland
boy to the canvas of the ring at Shibe
park. and Jimmy Dunn, manager OF
the Ohian, seeing his boy was gone,
tossed the towel into the ring.
That was the finish of the battle OF
champions, as $4,000 wildly excited
fans peered from the darkness on the
calcium lighted ring. 1t was sensa-
tional finish, and it proved once more
that good little man cannot defeat
a good big man. 1t also shattred the
hopes Of Kilbane, who long has aspir-
holding the lightweight crown as well
as the featherweight.
Reels Like Drunken Man
1t was the first time in his long and
wonderful ring career that Kilbane
blow that ended the battle was landed
by Leonard it hit the spot that rocks
EN- to sleep. When Kilbane's Sec
onds jumped into the ring and took
him to his corner he was Keeling like
a drunken man. He was done COM
pletely.
Perhaps lot Of those who witness
ed the bout will say that Kilbane
might have continued the battle had
not the towel been heaved into the
ring. This happened when there was
only one second left of the third
round to be fought The minutes
rest they will argue might have en-
abled him to recover, but wise fish Of
boxing will argue perhaps, as Kill
hane' manager. Jimmy Dunn did, that
the fight was over.
In For Beating
From the start it was apparent
that Kilbane was in for beating. He
was badly Gutpointed in the opening
round and Leonard's blows brought
the blood from his mouth. In the
second round Kilbane was handed a
terrific lacing. but gamely stood the
gaf, but 1t was evident that he could
not last much longer. for he seemed
unable to present an offense that
could keep Leonard's hard right from
reaching his jaw. Leonard fought at
terrific speed int he third round and
knocked Kilbane to his knees once
before landing the finishing blow.

HOSPITAL Volunteers Are
Ready for Great Drive
Ministers Make Appeal

Eighty thousand dollar week" as
the raising of the General Hospital
fund is referred to by the workers, was
ushered in yesterday by concerted &C
ton on the part of the city's clergy in
urging the members of their churches
to aid in the movement TO keep an
adequate hospital in Augusta
Every churchgoer heard the move
ment endorsed, and the fact that 165 of
the city and county's public spirited
men and women will give their time
unselfishly during the period of the
campaign to raise the fund was a gen
eral topic of conversation after church
services.
Since the enthusiastic launching of
the campaign through Fridays Pros
perity parade and the opening bust
ness dinner of the campaign held that
evening. the movement has gripped the
entire community. Members of the
campaign executive committee and
volunteer corps, which includes ply
sicians and surgeons connected with
the hospital, are looking forward to
a brilliant success for the humans
tartan undertaking to provide for the
i'll and injured of the city. That treat
ment is given whether the patients can
pay for treatment or whether that
service is given gratis by trained
nurses and skilled medical men.
George Z. Macomber. executive
chairman of the campaign, last night
discussed the memorable opening din
ner at which the city's and county's
leaders in public welfare work were
present. He predicted that when the
teams get into the active swing of sub
scription seeking the public will re-
spond Loyalty and save the hospital for
the city, since 1t is necessary that new
accommodations be provided if the in
stitution is to survive.
