Yesterday afternoon at Forbes Field the Bezdek aggregation of acro- bats threw seventeen hits in the path- wn;/ of the Giants, obstructing the peninant promenade to such an ex- tent that the New Yorkers made no headway whatever. True, they did not lose any ground, for while the Pirates outclubbed them two to one and made lifc a dreary desert of consecutive clouts for five peerless pitchers all tagged from the Polo Grounds, yet the Giants, by fight- | ing like wildeats in longed the the combat into the gloam- to 9. tenth.

O.'s won the get-away match with forty-seven pins to spare, but the Harps came right back at ‘em and evened up the match, top- ping the pins for a total team pintall of 508. In this frame the work of “Pop" Nichols was excellent, the old boy securing a 127 score. Nip and tuck bowling featured the final game of the match. and when the results were totaled at the close the Live Oaks were found to be the victors, by the narrow margin of five pins. For a time last evening it looked as if the advent of the Areos into the league would be crowned with a three-time victory, when the Mo- hawks appeared to be cracked, but the boys under Captain Anderson, staged a come-back in the final frames of the last: game and man- aged to win one of the three games rolled.

For seven innings the new order | of things worked well. Shocker per mitted only one hit and no runsup to the cighth, and the kids, by amassing a few hits on Klepfer in the fourth, produced two runs. But things took a turn for worse in the eighth. Back in spring when the Yankees still had designs on the pennant Shocker had a 5 to 0 lead on Cleveland at the end of the eighth inning. Then the In- dians sandbagged him in the ninth and the game ended with Cleveland ahead, 6 to 5. A similar fate await- ed Urban yesterday.

White floored Tillman in the third round, the first time with a combina- tion left hook and right uppercut and the second time with a straight left hook. However, Tillman did not let to the canvas interfere with ressiveness and his forcing tac- tics for the rest of the encounter gave him an even break with the Chicago lightweight. Johnny Dundee had the easiest kind of a time whipping Joe Mooney of the West Side in the second ten round bout.
