LOCAL GIRLS WIN
St. Mary's Girls Nine Beats Colts Girls in Fast and Furious Game At St. Nlary's Fairgrounds.

The St. Mary's girls baseball nine handicapped with the absence of three of their star players, won hard earned victory over the Colts girls team at St, Mary's playground in the feature game of Independence Day there. The locals hit the ball hard and timely and played well consid- ering that it was their first game
 Sale and Peck formed the battery for the visitors and Lynch and Roman worked for the locals. The game was replete with fielding features by aev- eral of the players on both teams. A three base clout by Margaret Shea of the local nine brought lusty cheers from the onlookers and the excellent fielding work of Hazel Sullivan rea- tured throughout.
 The managers of both teams got to- gether yesterday and arranged for an- other game to be played in Hartford next Saturday The batteries will in all likelihood be the same as they were yesterday and it is expected that the local lineup will be strengthened by the addition of the regulars who were missing yesterday.

 GOOD BALL GAMES
Pirates Beat Golfers and CorbinS
 Take Measure Of Vikings ..

Although the rain prevented the at- tractive display of fireworks prepared by the public amusement commis- sion for the celebration Of Independ- ence Day at Walnut Hill Park last evening. there were two good games Of baseball played in the afternoon which. in a way, compensated the folks who remained at home for the disappointment of last night. The Corbin team beat the Vikings in an exciting contest by the score of 5 to and the Pirates showed the Golfers under by the score of ' to 1.
 The first game played was the Pir- ates-Colliers. The game was late in starting and consequently had to be called at the end of the fifth inning to allow the big game to be started on time. Huber pitched in rare form and had the Golfers in hand all the time. The feature of the game was a nifty shoestring catch off a line drive.

While any time would suit him. the promoter suggested October as good time to stage the fight
 T haven't taken up the subject of the purse" Harvey said My first job is to find out if the bout can be arranged. That settled. the rest of the details can be arranged in quick or der"
 AS for the Lewis-Carpentier fight, the promoter said that the French champion hit Lewis while the latter was turning his head in the direction of the referee, who he said was eau tioning the two. He added that that did not excuse Lewis from taking his eye off of his opponent. Harvey said that Lewis had started on a business venture by opening public house along Hawley Road Kentishtown, London.
 Speaking of the boxing situation Harvey said the fight craze, an outgrowth of the war, was far from being abated In Germany bouts be- tween women, in which the contest ants fight and pull hair like the dickens,' are popular, Harvey said.

LEONARD DECISIVELY
 DEFEATS KANSAS
Tossing of Sponge Mercifully Pre-
 vents Further Punishment

Michigan City. Ind, July s. (Dy Associated Press)-Check of the at. tendance at the lightweight cham pionship contest between Benny Leon ard, title holder, and Rocky Kansas revealed that the crowd was just above 10000 with receipts of $b9,S3o, While no official announcement was made 1t was reported Leonard got $25,00 for scoring his eight round technical knockout. and Kansas re- ceived sl5,O0o
 Leonard with Billy Gibson, lis manager. left today for New York to prepare for his championship en- gagement with Lew Tender to be decided at Jersey City, July 27.
 Kansas Arm Broken.
 Kansas, badly upset by his defeat, will return home tonight. He plan ned to have an X-ray picture made today of his. broken arm. The arm was encased in splints after two physicians examined the injury said to have been suffered in the third round when Kansas blocked fast right hand chop by Leonard. Leon- ard looked like finely trained ath- lete. He did not make false move and was master from the start. He boxed with amazing skill and his footwork was perfect. He hit sharp ly and with accuracy. Kansas is tho gamest lightweight" said Leonard, If it is true his arm was broken, his gameness is all the more remark able"
 Loser Sheds Tears.
 Kansas was humiliated because his manager, Dan Rogers, tossed sponge into the ring in the eighth round. He was in tears as he fell into Rogers arms after standing up two minutes and 27 seconds of the eighth round, under fusillade of rights and lefts. He protested because the contest was stopped.
 "I could not stand to see a game man like Kansas get punished when he did not have full use of both arms,' Rogers said. Tt was the merciful thing to do."
 Kansas, bleeding and groggy from series of hooks to the jaw, was helpless before Leonard. His arms were hanging and he was not capable of defending himself.
 Saved From Punishment.
 It was only a question of Leonard hitting him solid smash to send him to the mat, but the sponge fell into the ring without a knockdown having been scored.
 Promoter F'itzsimmons plans to stage a light heavyweight champion ship contest between Harry Greb Of Pittsburgh and Tom Gibbons of St. Paul, August 5.

COrbins-V

The Corbin team put their game with the Vikings on ice in the early innings of yesterdays game. Griffith pitched airtght ball throughiut the innings and the Corbin runners took advantage of every misplay of the Vikings men and scored whenever an opportunity presented itself. On the other hand, the Vikings men were forced to earn every run that they made, and although they made des- perate attempt to tie the score in the ninth inning, Griffen famed Hill strand for the last out and cut off a threatened rally.
 Hillstrand Features.
 Hillstrand had a busy day in the field. His bare hand stop of Preis- ser's hard grounder brought forth a round of applause from the spectators that was well deserved. Besides stop ping the ball that looked like sure hit. he made pretty throw to first and got his man. Blanchard hit one that looked good for home run, but the crowd in center field made the two base ground rule necessary and he was held on second.
 A crowd of about $500 watched both contests and it is almost certain that double that number would have been present had the weather been fair.
