GLA8BY BACK FR0R1 DENVER Hammond Boxer Thinks He Defeated McGoorty in Western Scrap. Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond middleweight who fought a ten-round draw iwith Eddie McGoorty at Denver on 'May 2, arrived in Hammond yesterday. Jim had a number of interesting things , to say about the mill. It was bis opinion that he should have been given the verdict. "I won six of the ten rounds, two were even, and two were In McGoorty's t favor," Clabby said. "The referee, Abe Pollock, after giving his decision, called the bout a draw because he accused me of butting all through the contest. If I had been guilty of such unfair tactics he should have warned me. a thing he did not do at any time." SATURDAY BASEBALL Chicago, 6; Northwestern, 4. Wisconsin, 8; Illinois, 4.

SOX DOWN MACKS: WALSHJDN MOUND Swats by Schaller, Fournier and "Big Ed" Give Cals Opener, 4 to 3. Walter Schaller, Jack Fournier and Ed Walsh collaborated yesterday in adding to that small and select coterie of defeats which have been handed the Athletics this season, pulling the White Sox through a nerve-racking scrap of over two hours' duration, with all flags flying. The numerical emblems of victory were 4 to 3. The bats of Schaller, Fournier and Walsh were good for three of Chicago's runs and the good right arm of Walsh good but not quite tuned to concert pitch yet stopped the slugging visitors at three tallies In spite of some of the most determined assaults seen on the south side lot this season. For the run which made .Chicago's margin between a triumph and a draw we have to thank a person named Barry, whose boot of a Rath roller opened a crack through which Rath eventually slipped acrose the pan. UNION GIANTS BEATEN, 6 TO 3 East Chicago defeated the Union Giants here yesterday, 6 to 3. The winners sewed up the game in the initial inning when they scored three runs, hitting Alexander hard.
