ILLINOIS DEFEATS
PURDUE, 3 TO 1 Lafayette, Ind., May 15. Although Purdue led up to the eighth inning In yesterday's game with Illinois, the Suckers rallied In the eighth and batted out a victory. Eylens pitched effective ball for seven innings, then weakened. The visitors saved Watts, their pitcher, from defeat by splendid fielding. Prlndiville's one-handed catch of Eylens' line drive in the second meant the loss of three runs to Purdue. Watts was hit hard, but his support was such that none of the balls fell safe. In the eighth and ninth innings Illinois hit safely five times, having up to that time made but two singles. Summy's two-bagger scored. Purdue's lone run. The Boilermakers had the bases full in the first, but could not count.

ML HURLS SOX VICTORY. 7-0
Philadelphia. Pa., May 16. Joe Bens, the Indiana butcher, slaughtered tha
champions of the universe yesterday in
nine DucKets or cold, white blood, while his team mates employed their time to such good advantage that the final
count was 7 to 0.
Bens had all the tools of his dual profession from the cleaver to the- spitball and had almost perfect control. Up to the seventh inning the Athletics were able to touch him safely only three times, in different sessions, and
each.tlm eafter two were gone. By that
time the White Sox had accumulated
an but one of their seven runs and
Bens could afford to show a little mer
cy to his victims. So thoroughly convinced was Connie Mack that those White Sox must be stopped at any cost that he trotted out his ace of trumps. Iron Man Coombs, In the hope that Jack the Giant Killer would be able to put a crimp into Chicago's winning treak. CUBS BEAfPiirLS; CHENEY ON SLAB
If only it had been the New York Giants instead of the Phillies who were playing at the west side yesterday, the Cubs would have possessed a glorious victory, for they defeated Red Dooln's bunch in a corking game of ball by a count of 2 to 0. It was a game filled with tight situations, and a splendid defense by Chicago saved the game on no less than four occasions, while some terrific batting in two instances got them their two tallies. Beating the Phillies didn't enthuse the small crowd of fans to any great extent, for in the present crippled condition of the Quaker City club it was expected, and the thrilling plays and dandy pitching of Mr. Cheney didn't excite one as It would have done had there been more at stake. The shakeup that Manager Chance gave his Cubs seems to have placed them in better positions for attacking.
The offense, too, was trusty. Artie Hofman did splendidly on first base, while Heine Zim was perfection at
third and Ward Miller quite acceptable
in center field. Joe Tinker was still
ailing and his place was taken by Jerry Downs, and it was Jerry who drove
home the first run with a screaming
tw6-bagger.

KILBAHE SHADES FRANKIE
BURNS IN 10
New Tork, May 15. Johnny Kilbane, the Cleveland whirlwind, rn his first appearance Blnce he won the featherweight championship from Abraham Attell last February, outboxed Frankie Burns, the Jersey City idol, in ten rounds of pretty milling here last night. The battle was staged before a big crowd, which packed the St. Nicholas A. C. arena In its eagerness to get a glimpse of the Ohio lad who had humbled the hitherto invincible Attell. Burns Is the lad who fought Johnny Coulon for the bantam title and lost last winter. Frankie, a bit heavy for the bantams, dreamed of grabbing the crown worn by Kilbane. hut John punched such an idea pretty well out
ROUNDS
of his head last evening. Fast as Burns was, Kilbane was just a little bit faster. He had some edge on the weight, too, and, of course, that helped some. The Cleveland Colt just danced around his foe, every now and then rushing in with stinging jabs and uppercuts which drove Burns around the arena. Burns is noted for his fast left hand. He cut Coulon's face to pieces with hla piston rod left. But he bumped up against a fellow last night who pos
sesses a left which makes Frankie's
look slow by comparison. It was the same Kilbane left that beat Attell and Burns found that Kilbane could pump
iheni home with it much faster than
he cared to take them. He was forced to flee over the canvass at times to avoid the Kilbane jabs. It was a pretty battle, a contest of boxing skill Interspersed at times with hard and vicious fighting. Neither man took a severe lacing, but Burns carried home minor marks of the encounter from the ring.
