Il Monday and will be accom-
panied by the Bruno Bethel tossers
The series here will open with a
night game Monday and it will be
Tree to women in the grand stand
II viii be a three-day series and
after the Colonies depart the Co.
lumbus and Toledo clubs will invade
Perry stadium before the Tribesmen
go out on the road for a long
stretch.
The current standing finds Co.
lumnus high in the east and st. Paul
high in the west. The Birds were
the preseason choice to finish high
over all with games to spare on ac-
count of their membership in the
st. Louis Cardinal chain. Mime
apolis was the winter book favorite
to land second place, or high in the
west, which would have placed the
Buckeyes and Millers in the seven
game play-off for the pennant.
IT'S possible that bad luck may
= strike down Columbus again anc
find the parent club, the Cardinals
short of requirements, a condition
that won't cause any grief in In
dianapolis, Toledo and Louisville.
In the west, the Saints threaten
to make an all-season fight to stay
ahead of the Millers, Brewers and
Blues, and if they are successful
Apostle fans will have something tC
crow about. Their team finished
seventh last year, after occupying
the cellar nearly all the way
indianapolis has found Toledo q
tough nut to crack right along ano
many diamond observers feel a
bunch that the Mud Hens are
destined to come like the WIND
during the second half of the sea-
son. They are a crew of fence
busters and the late weeks of 1882
found them going at dazzling speed
TINE Hens displayed some of that
Il brilliancy in the game with
Columbus at Toledo, Thursday
night. 1t was the first game played
under the lights by the Hens in
their own park and they defeated
the A. A. pacemakers, to l. Monte
Pearson held the Birds to two hits
both singles, and he struck out
fifteen to set a seasons record for
the league.
Columbus was held hitlesS after
the opening inning More than
5000 fans turned out for the game
and the Toledo club directors con-
cluded they made a wise move in
installing night lights.
The fact it was the first night
contest in Toledo had much to dc
with the enormous size of the
crowd, but Hen officials think con-
ditions in their city are of such a
nature that night ball will prove a
life saver if the home team wins
consistently
DARNEY ROSS, new lightweight
- boxing champion of the world,
is a graduate of the Golden Glove
amateur tournaments. His rise in
professional ranks has been rapid,
he has trained faithfully, he has
been coached carefully and the Chi
cago lad deserves all of the acclaim
that was given him in the Windy
City Thursday night when he de-
throned the hard-hghting veteran
Tony Canzoneri.
1t was Ross tWenty-third conse-
cutive vicory since he turned to
glove throwing as profession. Bar
ney was a popular figure in the
Golden Glove fiStic meets and many
ring experts labeled him as a COM
ing champ even when he was fight
ing merely for glory and the love
of the sport.
Canzoneri, who feared no man at
or near his weight, was a prize
fighters fighter" He faced all
corners, was willing mixer and his
punch was deadly. Long service col
lected its toll Thursday and Tony
lost the verdict, but still holds the
respect and admiration of fistiana.

Dempsey collected $1,000 there the
promoter probably is on his way
