Inglenook Wins Again

The second part of the program was the onward march of the Con- structionists who downed the plucky Avondale Parkers, their adver3aries of Mondays tilt. scoring four tallies to the Avondalers two. With their chances all but gone, Avondale came from behind in the ninth and staged one of those fine rallies as plucky teams can do, and all but won the affair in the ninth.
 Jim Pace, muchly touted leftsider, hurled for the Ingles. From his left handed swings the Parkers were able to annex 10 safe ones, but the astute Pace dished the hits out sparsly except In third. fifth and ninth, when the Parkers got couples and three. Only in the ninth, how ever, were they able to swap the bingles for runs.
 The Ingles for their part got eight safe swats of the hurling of Thomp- son, fast ball pitcher These eight hits were divided over several in- nings.
 Branch, shortsmith artist for the Parkers, was the hero, undoubtedly, of the game and of the day. His excellent fielding was outstanding in game where errors were rare things and phenominal stops an~ catches were frequent. Twice he went behind second to take what seemed as sure hits with one hand stabs. Out of five trips to the plat ter he swiped three clean hits and most of his teams threatening.
 Little, Schuster, Looney. Loveless, all again did the hitting honors for the Inglenooks. Pace, lanky hurl- CT, took three-bagger as his share The hits of Schuster. Looney and Loveless counting for markers. Score:

 A hard swinging right to the kid- ney sent Jackson to the canvas He tried hard at the count to rise. then fell on his face and was carried to his corner by Wills.
 Jackson had not landed more than three hard punches in the contest. while the New Orleans negro had pounded him continually.
 It was the first time that Jackson has been knocked out. Jackson be- came known after knocking out some forty odd lesser lights in the heavy division. Jackson showed little of pugilistic prowess against Wills.
 Wills lowered several inches above the Ohioan and outweighed him by 25 pounds. Wills showed prodigious strength in his punching. Jackson was badly hurt by body blows and quickly weakened.
 Round One
 Wills landed several heavy body punches and Jackson smiled broadly at him. Wills pounded Jackson with heavy rights Jackson swings were wild. Jackson was hurt by a hard left to stomach and left to jaw. He fought back lack son went down with a heavy right to stomach but was up at the count of eight.

 The second day of the City Lea guers' battle for amateur champion ship honor of the city passed with two hectic struggles furnishing the headliner act of the afternoon.

 On the other hand though the Ingles were only able to annex six safe ones off the combined delivery of Harkins and Harrison. They did their hitting at opportune moments and consequently won the game. In the second game, with one down.
