FERGUSON FAILED
TO meet BAKER
But Sailor Kelly Succumbs
to Superior Work of
Wilmingtonian
FAST BOUT BETWEEN
WELSH AND LEONARD

A large crowd Of fight fans. a num-
Der from this city. who expected to
see a lively "grudge" fight between
Harry Baker. Of this city. and Danny
Ferguson. Of Philadelphia, were disap-
pointed when the latter failed TO APP
pear at the Pennsgrove A. A. last night.
Sailor Kelly, however, met Baker In
The place Of the Philadelphia. II was
reported that Ferguson had three ribs
fractured while at work at League
Island Navy Yard.
An extra bout was put on by the
management between Joe Leonard. the
New York bantam, and Red Welsh.
The bout between Baker and Kelly,
lasted but four rounds, Kelly dropping
TO the floor after coming out OF a hard
clinch In the fourth and claiming that
he had been fouled Kelly's claim was
not upheld by the referee, however.
The sailor had taken a pretty hard
beating at the hands OF Baker up until
then, and he was too weak 10 go on,
the bout being awarded 10 the VIII
mington TX. O." man.
The best bout Of the evening proved
TO be the extra put on between Leon
ard and Welsh. Welsh has been sched-
uled 20 meet Patsy Higgins in one OF
the early bouts, but due to the non
appearance Of Higgins the bout was
called of. Manager Newton approached
Leonard who was at the ringslde, and
he agreed to go on with Welsh. Leon
ard gave away several pounds in
weight to his opponent. but what he
lacked In avolrdupois he made mp In
speed and cleverness and gave Welsh
a scientific lacing throughout the six
rounds, although the latter fought back
hard and made things more than inter-
esting. Leonard is scheduled for the
windup at next weeks show

Burns and CrOh Surprise
byBeingNear Batting Lead

Two new names have slipped into
the leading batters OF the two leagues
this season, George Burns i'm second
place in the American, and Heine Groh
in the runner-up position in the Ma
tl0nal.
Grohs name has often been in the
800 lists, but this IS the nrst time the
dlminutive one has risen so high in
the ranks. Burns case is even mor-
peculiar as he was traded by Hughie
Jennings last year because he was un-
able to hit.
The names at the top Of the list are
not surprises. 10 has been considered

New Filling Station

1t is quite probable that Redwood
Falls will have regular filling sta
tion for the convenience of gasoline
users before automobile season opens
next summer. Mr.. Hartwig, the dis
trict manager of the Standard Oil
Company has nearly completed the
arrangements for such a station and
the matter is now awaiting the action
of the city council. The station will
be located on the corner of Third and
Mill streets where lot sixty by sixty
feet has been leased from Fred Muir
set who owns the property. The
building will be located at the rear
of the lot and the filling station near
the corner so that it may be ap-
preached by either one of two driv-
es. The plans also call fro a plot
of green grass near the corner and
this with an attractive building will
make the corner a real improvement
to the city. 1t is rare for so small
a city as Redwood Falls to have a
station of this sort.
