BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS-BOXING In the opinion of disinterested ex perts at the ringside, Charlie White made a poor fight, his first in many months, against Milburn Saylor at Boston. The Hoosier person had a defense that baffled White, and his methods of attack also caused some anxiety to the Chicago man, who, on KW several occasions, was forced to cover up. Savior's system of delivering blows was something new to White. He feinted like lightning and the Chi cagoan could never tell which mitt was coming toward him. Saylor also refused to set himself, but remained a moving target That made it diffi cult for White to stick in his damag ing left He did put it over once in the sixth, sending Saylor to his knees. At the conclusion of the 12th round Referee Roche declared the mill a draw, which did not please the crowd. It yelled for Saylor, despite the fact that White had been the fa vorite at the start of he battle. Nate Lewis, White's manager, also saye it was a poor decision. But Nate claims White won easily. R. Norris Williams, national tennis champion, is the only easterner re maining in the Panama-Pacific expo sition tournament He defeated Lindley Murray of Oakland, 8-6, 7-9, 9-7.

Connie Mack's crew shouldn't be much trouble for a hustling ball team this season, and the White Sox have an excellent chance to profit at the expense of the lean leader on this trip. They are fortunate, for ball games are mighty valuable now, with both Red Sox and Tigers pressing closely on the heels of the South Sid ers. With the exception of two or three athletes, Mack's team does not seem to be much interested in the after noon's work.
