Prior to the game the contending nines and the Mohawks were in a triple tie for the leadership. Now the Shamrocks are in third place. McConnell of the Lyceums, al- though he was hit harder than was Roudabush and Lusby, who did the hurling for the Shamrock, was steadier and was given faultless sup- port. Passes by Roudabush and Lusby and the three erors made by their teammates proved costly. Unlon Printers, who seem to have acquired the habit of playing tie games, battled the Legionnaires to a 3-3 count In six innings in section A of the unlimited class. They outhit the Legion team. but the ex-service men were saved by having a big first inning, in which they got all their tallles. Warwicks ran thelr string to six straight In section A of the junior di- vision when they easily disposed of the Wintons, 10 to 2. in seven innings. Warwicks amassed thirteen hits while the losers were getting five and also outplayed their rivals in the field. O’Donnells climbed out of the cellar in section B of the junfor class when they defeated the St. Joseph nine. 12 to 8. It was an erratic game, in which the errors and passes exceeded the hits. Cline held the Epiphany A. C. to two | as the amrock Junlors scored, 11 to 1, in_section B of the junior division. Shamrocks put ten runsx across in the first two innings. | Tremonty, with sixteen hits, had no difficulty in routing the Warwick Preps, 22 to 6, in section C of the ju- | nior division.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., July 28.—| Joe Burke, heavyweight champion of Michigan, last night was added to the | growing list of boxers who admit that Luis Angel Firpo of Argentina can hit. Burke absorbed, two of Senor Firpo’s punches in their short meeting here last night and was as- sisted from the ring, and apparently glad to get away from the South American’s reach. A “rabbit” punch in the first round put Burke flat on his face for a nine count. Ha saved himself from a first-round knockout by clinching until the bell rang. He came back in the second, ran into a right to the head and went down for the full count. (Copyright, 1923, by H. C. Fisher.

MATCH FROM SWEETSER Wins Over National Champion After Battle Tha( Goes to Thirty-Eighth Green, Where New n 18-Inch Putt. vans, formerly national amateur an{ the western amateur championshi¢ for the eighth time today by meatching prowess with Hamilton Gardner of Buffalo at Mayfield Country Club, where Evans yesterday evened a year-old grudge of the links by defeating Jess Sweetser of New year at Brookline by downing ns Gardner entered the final thirty-six holes with Evans by downing Joe Wells of East Liverpool, formerly Ohio and West Virgin a It was a thriller that Evans and Sweetser staged for the benefit of the large gallery. At one time each had a lead of 3 up, losing it to have a lead of 1 up seesaw for several holes and finally to have it squared on the thirty-sixth hole. Then the play-off was equally hair-raising, Sweetser holing a twelve-foot putt on the first extra hole to halve in par and missing an eighteen-inch putt on the ultimate green for a 6 after both had got in traps. Both stars scored one under par for the double circuit of the difficult links, Evans taking 60—72—141 and Sweetser 70—71—141, their best ball in the morning being 32—33—65 and in the afternoon 33—33—66, all this compared with the course record of 68, set by Sweetser on Monday in tha qualifying round. Both players com- mitted some faults, but for the most art th were so mechanically ex- t that these faults seemed exagger- ated by comparison. The gallery at times would groan when one of tha players would miss a putt twelve or fifteen feet long, possibly with a slope to negotiate, xpecting the players always to execute a shot tha |ordinary player could not make once in ten tries. Gardner barely held Wells even in the morning round, the match being square at both the ninth and eight- | eenth holes, as well as at the twens ty-seventh, but Gardner took the next |three holes and was never headed, The Buffalo player shot the around in 35, three above par; out in 37 in’ the afternoon, and headed for 4 33 on the last nine wi t nded.
