To- day the teams stand: w. fifth is yesterday tossed Pittsburg New York The Washington Senators, up by the Yankees Thursday, res vesterday, and the Athletics took advantage of this lapse in the pro- gram to cement more firmly their position at the peak of the American heap by whitewashing the Boston Red Sox 6 to 0.

Smith Nathan Hale BnrIbER Rea The play in the Boys' league yes- terday resulted in an upset in the Washington and Bays' club game and finally a win for the Smith school against the Burritt team, &ending the Smith boys into third place in the league. Tho Boys' club by their defeat at the hands of the Washington team slid into second place while the Washington and Paradise Park teams remain tled for firet place with perfect averages. Washington-Boys' Cluh The Washington team through the excellent pitehing of Chodukie- wiez, midget star twirler of the team, came through with a win to send the Boys' club team out of first place yesterday %ifternoon at Wal- nut Hill pz The boys from the north end of the town sent the liast Main street aggregation back on the short end of a 12 to 8 score. Chodukiewicz put in one of the finest games ever delivered by a junior leaguer. He held the opposi- tion down fo 10 scattered hits and even when his support seemed to waver, he pulled himself out of some tight holes, He had eleven strikeouts to his credit and only his | ateher failed him on two other oc- | two more whiffs would have been chalked up to his credit. He passed only one man during the entire game and himself got three bingles out of five trips to the plate and himself scored two runs besides driving in two more, The Boys' Club, the strongest never headed Washington rated as one of teams in the league, or even tied the crew. Scoring two in the first, four in the third and two in the fifth, seventh ang eighth, the Washingtons piled up a command- ing lead. The Boys' club scored one in the second, one in the fourth, three in the sixth, one in the seventh cighth and ninth, but they could not deliver the punch needed to tie the s although at times they had enough men on the bases to do the trick. the Boy he gave ted to do the twirling for club, but he was wild and wayto Schmarr. The son of a popular father twirled neat ball, but hits at critical moment which spelled defeat for his team. His support was ragged at times also, although he played a fine gume in the field himself, ogdansky and Chodukiewicz allowed ners while Rogdanski tle twirler turned in gems, Andersen, Tac and swing mighty maces fo the and some the lit- fielding Garro losers | pinzza Jake Kilrain Tells His Story (BY BILLY EVANE) On a little side street in the his- toric town of Quincy, Mass, lives one of the idols of the prize ring, Jake Kilrain, Thirty-six years ago, John L. Sul- livan, then heavyweight champion, defended his title agalnst Kilrain In one of the most remarkable fights in the annals of the fistic sport. It was the last great American prize tight, For 76 rounds the two gladiators with bare knuckles fought! toe to toe. The bout was staged at Richbourg, Miss, At the close of the 75th #und both men staggered to their corners. 1t was doubtful if either would be able to answer the call for the next round. At the clang of the bell Sullivan got to his feet; as Kilrain was mak- ing a simllar effort, his seconds tossed the towel into the ring, ac- knowledging the defeat of their man. A number of yeare ago John L. Sullivan took the final count from the Great Referee. Jake Kilrain, the man who gave him his hardest fight, is still living and happy. He has only one regret; he wishes that he had been born about 40 years later, Recently, while working in Bos- fon, I made the trip to Quincy to get some first hand information from Kilrain, a closeup of one of the most famous fighters that ever lived. Kilrain's entire career is filled with glamor and romanee that makes the life of our present-day champion, Jack Dempsey, a very drab affair. On inquiry 1 learned that Kilrain le now a night watchman for the I"ore River plant, which builds bat- taleships for the United States government, Realizing that a man who worked (all night wouldn't welcome an early caller, T made it a point to drop around fo the little bungalow, where Kilrain resides, late in the after- WVE, ROUNDS, A CLOSEUP OF JAKE BELOW, MR.
