 At Catchweights

Chicago. May 2s.--Bcnny Leonard of New York, the worlds lightweight boxing champion. and Pinkie Mitchell of Milwaukee, title holder in the junior welterweight class will meet in a ten round match tonight.

 Record of Teams


 To date the N. E. H. S baseball team has played five games. winning four and losing one. Hartford hat played four games, winning three and losing one. Both teams have been able to put across a victory over the New Haven Hfllhouse High school team, although that aggregation sue ceeded in turning the tables in re- turn match with the Red and Gold team. The Capital City teams only loss was to the Buckley High school team by lobsided score.
 Pitcher Carr of the New Haven team held the New Britain team down to two hits, and the Hartford team to three. Conclusions drawn from this would put the teams on even basis in hitting ability. The Hartford team has it on the Hardware City in field ing, but by the slightest of margins. The teams are especially strong in the box. Gray the New Britain slabster has pitched four games, and won three of them. Van Orden, the lanky boy of football and basketball fame, has the same number of wins and losses for Hartford.
