WILLIAMS SWATS SOX T0DEFEAT, 3-1 Brown Recruit Upsets Locals With Three Triples, Scoring All Runs.

frame soon, but without definite pros

pects of doing- so.

Ous "Williams, a raw right fielder with aspirations for fame, batted his way into the public eye yesterday at Comiskey park by fcalnins a victory almost sinftle handed for the St. Louis Browns over the White Sox. The score was S to 1 and Gus drove in two of

the three runs and scored the other

one himself.

Until yesterday Williams wasn't known even well enough for the fans

to call him by his first name. Now ev

erybody in town knows him. for he

displaced., a Ty Cobb brand of batting that broke down the defense of the "White Sox and brought a declslve'vic-

tory to the Stovall crowd.

The prowess of the young athlete In figures shows that he made three

triples in four times at bat. One of

the triples was wasted, for nothing re

suited from it, but the other two wrecked the hopes of the south side team for a victory. His first triple

, came in the fourth inning when no

one was on the bases and it was a

slash to the left field corner, Gus being

a left-handed hitter. ...

Four Game Series With

Pittsburg Will Be Fight for Second Place.

Pittsburg, Pa., April 25. After

day and a night's rest here the Cubs will resume their argument with the

Pittsburg Pirates today in the first of

a series of four games, half of which

are to be staged here and the other

half In Chicago. The strife will be for second place, which at present Is

In dispute between the two teams.

Thus far three games have been played 'twixt Trojans and Pirates, and

the odd gamTemiHed in Chicago's fa

vor. For the coming combats the two teams are about evenly matched. The

Cubs have their full strength on at

tack, but only one pitcher has shown

the ability to go the route consistent

ly under strong pressure. The Plr

ates have the pitchers, but lack the

strength possessed by the Cubs, other

things being equal. They miss Han

Chicago Boxer to Battle

Either Leach Cross or Welsh.

PROMISING CUB PLAYER

Charley White, the clever Chicago

boxer, will be one of the principals In the windup of the next show to be staged at Kenosha. Wis., about the middle of next month. ' Nate Lewis, who acts as matchmaker for the Ke

nosha A. C. yesterday said he expected to match White with either Leach Cross or Freddie Welsh.

Lewis said the club is, willing to

guarantee Cross or Welsh $1,500 with a liberal percentage If either agrees to the match. Promoter John Keating is expected in Chicago today to au

thorize Lewis to go ahead and close a

contest. White left yesterday for

Davenport, la., where his father-in-

law Is 111, but before his departure he instructed his manager to close as

many matches as possible. '

KILBAflE IS BOXING IN DAZZLING FORM

FOR DUNDEE BATTLE

Next Tuesday Champion

Makes First Real Defense of Title.

Los Angeles, April 25. Followers of

the boxing game hereabouts are about evenly divided in their opinions as to the identity of the winner of the

featherweight championship tilt next

Tuesday night at' Vernon between

Johnny Kllbane and Johnny Dundee

but the men who handle commissions for the speculatively inclined report that the champion has been installed a 10 to 6 favorite, and that there is very

little "six" money in sight.

A canvass of the Rlalto shows that both boys have strong f ollowings

among the betting and non-betting fans, and it is a bit surprising that at such good odds there is no Dundee

money In sight. It Is probable, how

ever, that the Italian's backers believe the odds will lengthen t 2 to 1. They will get It, but may have to wait until

ringside, as 10 to 6 seems to be the

final word from the Kilbane backers. Kllbane Is In strict training and i

rapidly getting Into dazzling form. As this Is the first actual defense he has made of hs title since winning it here fourteen months ago. the Cleveland

boy expects to be right on edge and ready to show the best there is in him

on' Tuesday night.

Dundee, too, is in prime condition

With the exception that he is tw pounds overweight, the Italian i

ready to go into the ring today. Scotty Montelth, his manager, is preparing him in a careful manner to prevent any possibility of him going stale. Work one day and rest the other is now the program. Dundee appears to be stronger than the champion and has the better punch, but Kilbane expects to offset this with superior speed and cleverness.

TRUST BUSTER

SEES CONTEST Washington, D. C. April 25. With

congress stirred by a resolution to Investigate the alleged "baseball trust,"

mild sensation was created in base

ball circles today when it developed

that the Washington-Boston series of games is being attended by high officials of the department of justice, including James A. Fowler, "trust bust

er" of the government; Assistant Attorney General Jesse C. Adkins, and

other officials charged with the enforcement of the Sherman law. Baseball enthusiasts feared they were making a personal investigation of baseball conditions, taking their cue from the resolution introduced in the house by Representative Gallagher, but those who watched the officials declared their demonstrations when Washington scored a run proved conclusively they were merely fans.

Washington, April 23. Representa tive Gallagher of Illinois, who is fight ing what he calls the "audacious

baseball , trust, will be in a ;oitio

sional investigation to the house ruU

Congressman Gallagher proposes to go into the constitution and by-laws of the American and National leagues with the purpose of showing that these organizations from their beginning have been ;in violation of the law.
