MENDELSOHN AND .ALL STARS BEAT

MITCHELL DRAW

JITLWAUKEE., May 17. Richie Mitchell ran into a tartar here last night. He emerged with a draw veidlct, but it was one of the toughest fights the Milwaukee pride ever went through. Johnny Mendelsohn was on the other end, and he scored four knockdowns on the veteran light

weight in ten rounds.

It was a battle full of blood and

thrills, Mendelsohn furnishing the

Kore and both boxers the thrills. In

the first round Mitchell went. down for an Intsant and in the fourth he was

flopped twice, taking the nine count

the second time. It looked as tunuN

his star had get, but in the sixth round he opened up, brought the old reliable

left into play, knocked out two of Mendelsohn's teeth and closed his left eye. In the same round Johnny had his lip split and for the remainder ox

the tight bled badly. From then on, except for the seventh, when he again was floored.

Mitchell was the master. He drove

the tough youngster about the ring

rocking him to his heels, but Johnny

refused to go down. He waa a tired boy, but he gave everything he had in stock and stuck to the finish. Mitchell weighed 140t. Mendelsohn 138.

BY SAM MATHENEY. JR. The Stewart A. A. defeated the Indiana nine Sunday afternoon. May 15. at the Harbor grounds by the score of 12 to 7. The Stewarts are one of the best teams in the Chicago League' and are also an undefeated team up to the present time. The visitor's hard hitting and excellent team work was at its best thus making it quite a difficulty for Pitcher Bakaliear of the Harbor. The renovated Harbor team might be greatly complimented on thoir playing Sunday by having four of the regular players absent from the lineup. The feature sluggejs for the visitors was left fielder Roger? who procured one triple, two doubles and a walk. The feature hitter for the Harbor was third sacker West

who received one triple, a double, a single and a base on balls. Myers who substituted yesterday's game in place of Catcher Kroupa showed his ability as a receiver by nb errors and considering the fact that this was his first game this year, he done well. The game started with Thomas at the bat for the All Stars, who was walked, next roan Hayes sacrificed and was thrown out by West, next man Reese filed out to Faust at short, then came Rogers, the visitor's cleanup man who received a double, scoring one run. ing one run. The next two men. Lewis and Sheard received a walk and the latter struck out, ending the first half with one run. West, the lead off man for the Harbor, was given a base on balls, Davis next man up was struck out. Faust was hit with a pitched ball and Rogers, clean up man, hit a single to right field scoring West for the first ..ally. Tlmm up singled into left field, putting Rogers on third and Htadwall hit for three sacks scoring Rogers and Tlmm. Glcgg was hit with a pitched ball and Bakalar ended the Inning by hitting to the pitcher. Score. Harbor 3, All Stars 1. In the second inning, Bakalar's arm became sore from hurling against a heavy wind and eand storm and owing to the fact that the Harbor was short another pitcher he had to go the full route as best he could, relying upon his team mates to do the rest. For eight innings, it was no one's game, the score at this time being to 6 in favor of the visitors and the contest was closely followed by all who saw it. The Harbor boys were hitting the ball but too many times let men die on bases. The ratal blow came in the ninth, first half, when with one out and two men on bases, a hard hit ball was sent

through Foust allowing them to score; two more runs and before the third j man was out, the All Stars had f our I

men over the plate making their total 12. The last half of the ninth, the Harbor scored but one run by Foust, which ended the contest by the score of 12 to 7. The management wishes to announce their appreciation for the turn out of the public in general Sunday and all we ask is that Indiana Harbor continue to support her team and we will do the rest in trying to give you a ball game. The Harbor club will practise every night this week from 5 p. m. on and all .members are urged to be on the field if possible.
