Marks Nine Loses To The Nationals

Coming tack with a rreat deal more zip and energy after three weeks of comparative idleness. the Nationals rlajing airtight ball behind Andy Benson, a southpaw, managed to trounce the Mark baseball team 7 to 5. Benson with all the. confidence in the world, struck out 9 men and allowed only 8 "r.lts. He. perhaps pitched In with more confidence than customary because of the way his teammates were scoring runs. They scored one In the first -nd followed it up with five in the second. Liter in the ninth they scorcil nns more run. To offset, this the Mark's scored three In the second and two in the seventh but failed to get the other two runs necessary to win the fimr Brief mention must be made of Buckeye and Michaels, who made several difficult and fancy stops of hard grounders. The elugring 'star of the game was Harris, who mad three dcubles and one single, all of wilch ftgTjred tremendously In the scoring. In the fifth he wa severely hurt when in hasing a pop fly. he apllt his third finger wide open. However la apite of the pain it gave him he f nisied the game behind the ba.

THREE CLASSY FIGHTS ON BILL AT E. CHICAGO

Everything is ai! rt for the big scrap at the East Chicago arena tomorrow afternoon and there is very little betting as to v. ho be the winner. White and Moran themsclcs are reported to have mad? a J1.000 side bet. but no odds a're offered. Moran seems confident that he w ill vi m if 'White scalej down to 135 pounds, while 'White is equally as confident that he can put cno over on Moran. Eud FeriU is going to ha-. e a hard tiir.o with Ray Risers, it is conceded, but Bud has no doubts that he will be able to com cut in the lead at the end of th ten rounds. He -was promises a knockout when he met Christiano, but the substitution of Rivers has made him gut clown to training for a real tattle. Sammy Mandcl wi.l undouotedty be the favorite In the preliminary against Barney Dool&if. Sammy was on the last card as a substitute for his brother Joe and is doing the same thing tomorrow. Sammy certainly proved himself a classy little scrapper and his appearance will be qutie a drawing card for those who werft at the Jast show.
