game of Cub discards against Cubs and recruits. In five innings the discards had the verdict by a score of 4 to 1.
That was because Jack Rowan, former Cub pitcher, outhurled Larry Cheney,' former Colonel pitcher. Incidentally ; Cub discards Joe Stanley, "Casey" Smith and Admiral Schlel were mixed
up In the apparently impending defeat of the Cubs. Then in ' the sixth inning pitchers were switched. The Colonels sent another Cub discard against Chance's men in the person of Cyril Charles Slapnicka, and the Cub pilot countered by substituting Northrop for Cheney. The switch was fatal to Louisville's hopes and worked out all to the Chicago.

CUBS VICTORS IK LOUISVILLE, 6 TO 4 Ex-Chicagoans Show Surprising Form in Game Yesterday.
Louisville, Ky., April 1. By patient waiting and a few well placed swats, the Cubs won their second straight game from the Colonels yesterday before a swell crowd of "bugs" and under sweller weather conditions. The score was 6 to 4, and It was an uphill journey all the way to the elghtn Inning. For more than half the way It was a
Waco. Tex., April 1. Callahan's White Sox Premiers gav the Waoo Skippers one more beating yesterday and Immediately afterward departed from the training camp for good. It
was one of the closest and best games
of the entire trip. The Sox nosed out a victory. 3 to 1. but they had to come from behind to win. Big Ed Walsh was on the slab as the head liner. It was the first and only game he had pitched against the local Texans and while Ed was In fine form and allowed only three hits all told, he had a hard time winning his game and had :to cut loose with all his might most of the way. A bad break by Walsh's defense In the sixth Inning gave the Skippers their only run and the lead. It was no fault of the big spltballer for with perfect support, no one would have traveled beyond second base.
Manager Joe Simpson of the Coliseum rink. East Chicago, has everything In readiness for his big boxing show to be held this evening, and with such likely fighters as Charley White and Steve Ketchel, who will clash in a ten-round wtndup, assures him of a good crowd. The advance sale of tickets for this card has been the largest so far and with delegations from Gary. Ham
mond, Whiting and Indiana Harbor the
management is expecting a packed
house. Chicago-" will also be well rep
resented -when the city fans will jour
ney to East Chicago on a special train.
Reports from Chicago state that White and Ketchel are in top-notch shape, as they have" been In heavy training work thia week. They will
arrive in East Chicago this morning and both are expected to make the required weight of 128 pounds this afternoon. Fistio followers are eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of White, as this Is his first Invasion of Lake county. Fans are looking for him to outpoint Ketchel, as White is one of the most clever little featherweights In the ring today. Not only will the two men draw a neat purse, but the winner wfi be entitled to take a crack at the 128-pound championship. Young Christie and EdSie Wells will open the show- with a six-Pound preliminary. They will weigh in at 120 pounds,-and a fast bout is expects.
