that Sunday base ball is illegal in

The decision was in the case of the

CHICAGO, June 25.-Bud Taylor's
supremacy among the bantamweights
was completely restored today with
his vigorous repulse of the most
desperate challenge he has met since

Tony Canzoneri, New York's con-
tender for the bantam title, fell vic
tim to Taylor's gloves in their 10
round battle last night. The judges
and Referee Joe Choynski gave
Taylor unanimous decision.
The two lads furnished the most
thrilling action Chicago fight fans
have seen since the sport was legal

lessons of their battle last March,
Taylor rushed the little New Yorker
almost constantly. Nearly every
round offered a wild swinging melee
in the center of the ring, in which
Canzoneri generally got the worst

In the very first round Taylor
drove Tony about the ring as though

mouth, which kept him bleeding
thereafter. In the seventh Tony re-

he generally leaves safely behind in
exhibition contests. Nine bats were
stolen during the game. among them
Babes pet stick into which his name
had been burned.
Babe was downcast when the yam
KEGS left Springfield. He made a last
minute offer to a. J. Shean OF the
Springfield club to give duplicate of
the bat and SIS to the one who re-
turns it.
