BAST ATHENS WINS
In n game played .at Princeton

the Bast Athena Boys Club team
and the Princeton Factory Nina,
the local agregatfon was victorious
by a score of 3 to 1.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK.—Two glantB of tho
prise ring; Louis Angle Flrpo pride
of tho Argentine and Jess Willard,
Kansas man-mountain stood out
Saturday night as challengers for
the flatic throne occupied by Jtnk
Dempsey after scoring knockout
victories lo the two main bouts of
tho Milk Fund carnival before a
crowd of nearly seventy thousand
at the Yankee stadium.
Flrpo demonstrated once more
that he Is a terrific hitter, who has
climbed to pugilistic prominence In
recent yearn, by knocking out
Jack McAullfee, the aecond, of De
troit In the third round.
Willard, while not too Impres-
-2 alve on hla come back after years
65* | of idleness proved himself the
as* I master of his young Iowa antogo
. I nlst, Floyd Johnson, and was
awarded a technical knockoqf after
5J | eleven rounds of the most specta-
jju | cular battling on the card.
These two bouts, both sched
uled for fifteen rounds, were head
liners of a cart) of five heavy
weight contests, one of these the
most spectacular fight programs
ever staged l.» this country and a
magnet tor a picturesque throng
that all but filled the great Yankee
ball park. Official figures were
lacklnlg Saturday nlglht but It was
estimated that the throng was at
least five thousand less than tho
crowd of seventy-tour thousand
which packed the stadium at the
opening American .'eague baseball
game recently. It waa a record for
a boxing show In this state but far
behind the attendance figure of
m orhtean ninety thousand at the
Carpentler-Dempsey fight two two
years ago.
Gate receipts were announced un
officially by Tex Rickard promoter
of the show for the municipal Milk
Fund benefit aa approximately
13(0.(100.
Two of the other bouts on the
cant besides the mala fights also
were terminated before the limit.
Jack Renault of Chasham Quebec.
Canadian heavyweight champfon.
was declared the victor over Fred
Fulton of Minnesota on a foul
blow, In the fourth round after the
Canadian had pulled up a substan
tial lead on points.

In Saturday's Game -ip
The Auburn Tigers bowed to the
Georgia Bulldogs for the third con
secutive time this season when the
plainsmen dropped another game
Saturday on Sanford Field by the
lop-sided ssore of 9 to 1, a home
run by Knowles In the second In
ning being the only tally the visit
ors were able to register.
T.lie Auburn fielders again gavr
the barter, “Slick"■ Moulton, rag
ged support while Georgia support
ed Sale In nice atyle, the three er
rors made not figuring In the scor
ing. Georgia Is credited with but
5 hits and Auburn found Sale for
six.
Georgia went around In the sec
ond Inning, tlelng the Bcoro but
In the fourth enjoyed an Innlhg
that waa almost aa prosperous as
ahe Initial Inning In Friday's game
was. Six runs were registered It
this frame when every man on th..t
Georgia lineup came to bat anti
Eliidge and Thpmason made two
trips to the platter. Three walks,
two errors and two hits, one a
doubla by Sale and an Infield out
put the six runs across and sewed
up the genie but fbr extra meas
ure two more were added In the
sixth when a walk, an error add a
hit were hunched.
Knowles and Oriftln led In,the
batting for the visitors, getting two
each while no Georgian hit safely
more than onco.
have met with the full approval
of both teams.
This victory gives Georgia the
best record of any team In the 8.
I. C. and should establish her bid
for the title.
The final games of the season
will be played here next Tuesday
and Wednesday when Mercer
comos for a couple of games, of
fering Tige Stone, a member of

This Is probably tbe last visit
Mike Donahue, veteran coach ol
Apburn teams, will ever make here
as mentor, especlelly with the
Tigers. He has brought many,
many teams here In every branch
of athletics, he Is popular in Ath
ens and the fans and bis friends
regret that he Is leaving Auburn
and will not be the frequent visit
or here that he has been.
A fine spirit has existed between
the two Institutions ever since he
has been at Auburn and no finer
spirit has beea shown on Sanford
Field this year then was exhibited
by, his team on this visit. Although
far outclassed In each game, es
pecially Saturday, not a murmur
was hoard' and when the band
struck up Alma Mater both days
the visitors stood at strict atten

other teams have not done.
