inning of the Yankees game with
the White SoX yesterday and gave
New York to , victory. The
blow, which was low drive into
the left field stands, came off Ser
geant George Connolly and ended
the extra inning affair.

feat of the league leading Chicago
Cubs yesterday at the hands of

up the National league somewhat.
The Cubs now have a five game
lead over Pittsburgh, who are one
game ahead of the Cardinals.
The Dodgers defeat of the Cubs
came as somewhat of surprise
Hal Carlson had pitched effectively
in the early innings, allowing but
one run. The Dodgers, however,
touched him for two singles and a
home run for three runs in the
eighth, and came right back with
three singles in the ninth for two
more runs and & to ) victory.
Carmen Hills alright pitching
featured the Pirates to victory
over the Giants. He scattered five
hits effectively, Jackson 5 double
resulting in the only Giant tally.
After pitching scoreless ball for
six innings, Charley Robertson blew
up and allowed the Cards five runs
Gcnewich, who replaced him, was
touched for two more runs before
the game was over. The score: st.

The Washington Senators and the
st. Louis Browns divided a double

FOUL SP0ILS
MAIN EVENT
| AT CALEXICO

Sir James Huff of San Diego, he
of the fair skin and the Longitude.
nal lace, took severe trouncing
and also lost on foul to Grant
Willardson, navy welterweight
champion, in the second half of a
double main event at Calexico last
night.
And in taking his beating, Sir
James proved himself very much a
gamester, keeping on his feet long
after he had plenty of license to
stay on the floor where "General
Grant, put him four times in the
fourth round by means of solid
smashes to James classic jaw.
The foul-it was too bad. The
round seriously added his pate. He
came out for the fifth round not
knowing whether he was playing
tiddleywinks or talking with nice
old ladies on sunny porch. In
stinct alone caused him to maneuver
his arms and shift about a bit.
One of the maneuvers started per
fectly orthodox, but landed where
it had no business to land, and the
bronze boy from the navy folded
UP like an accordian and slowly
sank to the canvass. 1t was a foul,
more or less bad one, and no ques-
tion about it.
Bill Tackett didn t even bother
to count, but pushed Sir James into
his corner, hauled the COB champion
into his own bailiwick and after an
examination declared Wilardson
the winner.
1t was the first foul Sir James
has had chalked against his name in
a long list of fights, and he felt
pretty badly about it. He was
"goofed" plenty when it happened
but undoubtedly will draw the
usual $50 days from the commits
sion, which seems a little tough on
him.
Incidentally this Willardson boy
is "pizen.' He carries everything
from the big 16 inch guns to the
little sniper guns that bite like a
mosquito. Form, science, punch,
ring gcneralship-he has 'em all
and in large sized quantities.
