ule; A PlayOff Sunday.

Minnesota Leagues schedule, Milaca

mates at the bat getting three hits
out of four times up.

the Pine County Baseball league and

 By defeating Jack ,Thomspoh of California, welterweight ruler in g 10-round non-title bout here last night, Lawless annexed his fourth decision over reigning welter- weight champion. Lawless previ- ously had defeated Thompson, Joe Dundee and Tommy Freeman, all when they held the championship.
 Weighing 148 pounds, one pound over the class limit, Lawless had no chance to win the title. Thompson sealed ,147. A crowd of 10,373 paid $21,980 to see the. program which included three rounds of exhibition boxing by Max Schmeling of Ger many, heavyweight champion.

HERRARA MADE | SHOWING AGAINST
 WHITECHAPEL WHlz

New York, May 9- (UP) - Boxing's notably Tickle followers had new idol today in Tony Herrera. olive skinned Mexican lightweight. Herrera made his debut in fast company at Madison Square Garden last night and lost thrilling ten round bout to Jack Kid Berg, Eng fish whirlwind. but won the plau- dits of the 8,264 spectators who paid $23,64439 to witness the fight. .# .r~ Decision o. K.
 Berg, always extremely popular in New York. won the bout by a mar gin decisive enough to give him the votes of both judges and the referee, but the fans were intrigued by Her. rera's game battle and booed the verdict.
 Berg left the ring with the crowd still booing while Herrera was given an enthusiastic ovation.
 Herrera won the crowd by hls game stand against the Briton. Tony even succeeded in taking the play from Berg in several rounds-some- thing few fighters have been able to do - and finished the bout fresher than his rival, who until we met Herrera appeared tireless.
 Slowed Up
 Jackie tired last night, partly from the fast pace and prtly from Herrera's jolting right hand punches to the jaw. The victory reestab- lished Berg to some extent as a lightweight contender = at least 1t proved that he wa snot washed up'' as some critics declared - but 1t also proved that the Briton no longer is as good as he was a year ago.
 Fighting at the pace which Berg sets is certain to take it's toll, and apparently the English boxer has started to slip. He still is good enough. however, to hold his own with the best in his class. although he is not the tireless windmill or two years ago when he appeared to get better as he went along. On the other hand, Herrera looms as great prospect for the future. The little Mexican is not yet of cham pionship caliber but his showing against Berg indicated that he is ad- yancing rapidly.

The match is the first of best three-out-of-five series and judging by the advance sale will attract something like capacity house. On the Level
 Some suspicious souls have finted that the tales of bitterness between the two players are nothing more than boxoff1ce propaganda concocted in the fertile and imaginative mind of Promoter Jacques Curley. For once Monsieur Jacques is innocent; there is enough ill-feeling between Big Bill and Winnie to establish the meeting as a genuine. old-fashioned grudge affair. -
 Their little feud started in 1918 when they joined forces to win the National Doubles championship, and Richards, after the finals, charged Tilden with poaching on his pre- serves in an attempt to steal the spotlight. The bitterness increased with the passing of each year and reached its height in 1926 when Richards defeated Tilden in three of their five matches to establish him. self as. the country's No. 1 ranking player.
 Both Beat Kozeluh
 In 1926 amateur honors was the basis of their feud. To-day it is professional glory that is adding fuel to the flames. Richards, thanks to a victory over Karel Kozeluh last year at Forest Hills, wears the title of professional champion. Tilden soundly trounced this same Kozeluh on their recent tour and is anxious to gain the non- official but high sounding title of worlds profession al champion by trimming Richards.
 Before the main event, Francis T. Hunter of New Rochelles N. r., and Emmet Pare of Chicago, will meet in 8 singles match. After the head line act Tilden will pair with Hunt ter in doubles against Richards and Pare.
