At the beginning of the last half of the ninth the St. Louis team ‘was ahead, 9 to 8, but $175,000 worth _ of talent in the persons of Messrs.

You BeT Your SWEET UFe You'LL Tawe& A FINE - ‘PANGHO VILLA WINS HIS DECISION OVER FREEDMAN Decisively Defeats Boston Bantam- weight in 10-Round Bout, Show- ing Whirlwind Speed. - Boston, July 21.—Pancho Villa, world's flyweight boxing champion, last night decisively dJefeated Abe Friedman, Boston bantamweight in a 10 round bout. Villa weighed in at 113% pounds and Friedman at 117 pounds. The little brown , man from the Philippine Islands hit his heavier op- ponent with every blow in his reper- toire and won rather easily. In the ninth round Villa had Friedman on { the verge of a knockout, but he did not have quite enough weight behind his wallops to kneck the bantam- weight off his feet. In the first round the Fllipino boxed cautiously, feeling out his opponent, who weighed three and a half pounds more than himself and in this round and the third round Friedman had a shade the better of the argument. In every other round Villa found the range for snappy blows to the head and body and easily outpointed Fried- man. The Boston fighter, a keen defen- sive boxer and a solid puncher was bothered by Villa's whirlwind speed. He never found the range to land solidly except for a few blows in the early rounds, MAKE (‘.IDER ‘WITHOUT PERMIT Washington, July 21.—Manufacture of cider and other nonintoxicating fruit juices is authorized without the formality of applying for a permit, under regulations issued by Commis-| sioner Blair of the Internal Revenue bureau, but persons who make them must add preservatives to prevent “further alcoholic fermentation.” Population of New York city 110 years hence will be 105,000,000, says qne university statisticlan. GINE ME A FOUR- THAT'S PAR FOUR - You re PLAYING PLAY NINNERS AT KALAMV!LLA EASILY DEFEATS FREEDMAN—DUNDEE | MUGH INTEREST IN TOMORROW'S GAMES Pirate-Besse Contest Holds First Attention of Baseball Fans New Britain teams will have a busy day tomorrow, but there will be only one game in this city among the “big boys,” that being the clash between the Pirates and the Besse-Leland nine at St, Mary's field at 3:156 p. m, Umpire Mike Lynch will call the game promptly on the dot and “Slim" Politis is slated to heave them up for the Pirates, with Butsey Hall on the recelving end. For the Besses, either Hyland or Bill Dudack, with a possi- bility that a new twirler may arrive and be given a tryout, will be on the mound. Johnny Schroceder will hold down the backstop position. Johnny's arm is working in fine shape and it will have to be a fleet footed Pirate who pilfers any of the sacks . Although matched up on paper the Pirates seem to be on the small end of the odds, they are filled with con- fidence and means to take advantage of every break in the game. They feel that with Southpaw Politis throwing them up they will be able to hold the Basses to a low score, while they are confident that they will he able to sneak enough over to win. If Hyland pitches he will be ‘“pie” for the Pi- rates, according to their views, for they are all batting left handed and feel that they would untwist any of Dick’s twisters. Realizing that a straight ball thrown in close to them when they are batting left handed and holding their bats long would hamper them, they are not worrying for they say that Hyland cannot con- trol the ball sufficiently to put it there. Of Dudack, they say, - they have no fear. On the other hand the Besses, while not over confident, feel that they will be able to take the Pirates into tow. Their hitters, they say, can easily solve anything that “Slim"” serves them and their base runners will be worked around enough times to win, Corbin’s Out of Town The Corbin Red Sox, who this after- HA HA=+ WHAT You meaan rg._gn You MISSED Yo!
