Eagles Take A Miming
Battle Saturday 6 To 5;
Three In Row Off Nitros
There have been ball game and
ball games on tho local Jot but that
staged with the Ranger Nitres Sat-
urday afternoon has got them all
Mood off and those fans who were
on hand saw a matinee 'that will go
down In the annals of tho old W. T.
Lengue as a humdinger and all that.
Saturday's win gavo tho Eagles threo
strahjht from the Nitros
BUI Etherldge in the boy that
cracked the -blow out Into tho cen-
ter gaiden in last of the twelfth af-
ter Whitehead had been thrown out
at first by Keck tho aforesaid knock
counting for a homer and tying tho
count and when Joe Lewis was hit
by Keck and went to first domes Hill
who replaced Smoky Joe demons on
the rubber in tho eighth was thrown
out at first by Murphy and when
Comstock camo up he swatted It tb
Etz who threw wild to first and
Lewis came .scampering across tho
pan for tho winning count.
The Nltroa in their half of the
twelfth broko the tie that had been
In effect since tho seventh when
Lovclaco first Up walked was sacrific-
ed to second by Etz and Adklnscamo
Up and" connected for a blow into
right bringing tn Lovelace but tried
to make it-4n homo and wan thrown
but at tho plate. Etherldge to Lewis.
Allen got one oh the dome and was
unable to run It out for a short time
but after the lapso of a minute or so
went on down to first. Keck regis-
tered the final out for the Nitros
when he lifted a high one. which
Whitehead neatly Backed.
The Eagles started their counting
In the second Bechtol's hot single
through pitcher's bo. Whitehead's
neat sacrifice and Lewis' two-ply
knock doing tho work. Smoky Joe
got Into some pretty bad holes but
was successful in pulling out when
his mates camo to his rescue. Skipper
Bear Whlto played a Jam-up gamo
in the field registering three put-outs
nine assists and no error. The skip-
per made a beautiful stop 'and whiff
in tho second. Third sacker White-
head made a neat stop and peg in the
second.
Two more dented the platter tor tho
Eagles In the fourth on a couple of
stogies and a couple of errors. The
Nitros got their first marker in the
sixth on a walk and a double and
In the seventh tho visitors chalked
up threo more In a rather wild and
wooly session a triple a stolen base
a couple of hit batsman a slnglo
and a walk figuring in the deal. The
count was tied by the Eagles In their
half of tho seventh a walk stolon
" base "and a single doing tho Job.
From tho seventh out it was a
hofty battle and the visitors did not
threaten from tho soventh until they
tied the count In the twelfth. Thq
.locals got threo men on in the eighth
but cpuld. not score and In the tenth
they came near ending tho fray but
When Singleton heaved it home cut-
ting off Ltwls. who had got on on an
error the chances for another 10-ln-tiing
win went glimmering. And al-
tering the eleventh had passed off
without incident tho twelfth camo
'round and the curtala was rung down
is we have told you.

KIzeIqVi Blow Wins
J'ever see such a ball game as Fri-
day's' Mates it was somo hefty bat-
tle and it was pretty nigh anybody's
Win up tr the time that Klzzle Klzzlar
smacked ii with the blow that brought
in the marker that broke the tie and
annexed the afternoon's matinee in
the tenth. Even the most sophlstlcat-
td fan went wild with excitement and
the biff crowd that saw the fray wai
In a constant state of nervousness
Trom the time the matters were tied
Up in the fourth session again in ttie
tixth and there was no restraint of
vocal organs when the Eagles swept
Into a victory in the tenth canto. The
gamo wan a double pleasure to the
Abilene fans In view of the fact that
It was Pennant Day and as the gon-
falon floated to the breeze just under
Old Glory out on the flagpole In
the center garden Bear White's ag-
gregation turned la another win from
the Ranger Nitros 6 to 6 that belnt;
the club from which the Eagles won
tljo 1920 title of tho league. It was
tho second ttralght win of "the scries
for the Eagles
It appeared for a time that the tenth
framo would not be enough to deter-
mine the winner but thanks to Klz-
Jar's trusty willow the necessary
blow was delivered and again Bear
White's bunch brought home thiba-
oee throwing the grandstand Into a
fit of frenzy and enthusiasm it was
thuswlse. Big IMUl Mollis led off the
happy tenth with a blow that count
4 for a bingle when the leather went
clean over second and into the cen-
ter rarden. Comstock tapped It out

rraek almost ajralnst the flagpole up-
on which proudly waved tho 1920 tltlo
rag bui Singleton made tho spectac-
ular catch of the day when ho chas-
ed bad. for a long distance and grab-
bed tho apple. Two hands wcrP down
therefore nnd matters hung In tho
balance and upon Klzzlar rested the
nolo hope of an Eagles' victory. Well
Klzzlo dollvered with an awful wollop
that sent the leather clear to the cen-
ter garden and Blr Bill camo scamper-
ing home for the winning count.
Skipper Allen'a gang took the lead
ir. the cecond tound. he first havlns
passed lather speedily the' Nitros get-
ting a couple on and the Eagles go-
ing out In onc-twp-three order. Bit:
BUI was a tilfle wild at the start-off
and yells of Pull 'Im pull lm" went
up from the grandstand but Skipper
Whlto -was determined that Hollls
rliould have a fal" and impartial trial.
Lovelace leadoff. In tho second was
Jnrucrt a. pass by Hollls and When York

ond Lewia to White. Hartrlck con-
nected for a double in ahe Kaglcu
portion of tho second aha when Love-
lace let It go through him Hartrlck
went to third. Milam followed with a
crack that registered a slnglo atld
Hartrlck came home.
Despite a couple of free passes Is-

could not get the ball out of the In-
field and Lefty Adkins whiffed Hollls
Singleton "took .Comstock's high ont
nnd White was thrown out at first by

Carpentier Smashes Hopes
(Georges Carpentier has come to
tho United States from France to

wolght title less known than any fight-

CHAPTER 3
On the second meeting between Car-
pentier nnd I'nul Til thoro was much
speculation as to what would happen.
Tho first scrap over the 20 round
route had been a draw. This tlmo tv
go was 10 rounds. Would Carpentier
speed up In the shorter route? That s
Just what ho did and won the decision.
Georges was fast taking on weight
and flirting with the feather division
Just previous to graduating ho din-
posed of Pickard and Lampln via the
the K. O. route nnd won on a foul
from Young Warner. It was the sec-
ond time h had darkened the lamps
of Lampln.
Georges Takes Lncllu;
Few battles came during the feath-
erweight days. One of the first wis
n setback at the hands of Buck Shine
an English fighter. Carpentier took a
good ucking In S rounds.
Following In short order camo an-
other defeat when ho clashed with
Young Snowball another Englishman.
Paul Til still a topnotcher then
made a bid for a third match with
Georges. The two fought to a draw in
IS rounds Fighting men whom he
had already clashed with was ono of
the bent little things Carpentier did
In the early days. Ho was always
willing to give a man another chance.
Y'oung Warner followed Til's at-
tempted comeback. Ho had lost on
Georges in their first mix on a foul
nnd contended another battle would
see him winner. Carpentier was will.
Iner and the two Journeyed to Cambral
for aton round go. In the seventh
frame tho question of superiority wa
settled when Young Warner was

Declaring that it wa astonishing- that

In 10 rounds followod.NjAnd In the
mcantlmo Georges knocked out Jim
Campbell in 5 frames and battled
Jean Andony to a 10 round draw.
That finished the featherweight
career. Geoiges was growing rapidly
and when he next stepped Into tho
ring it was ac a lightweight. Ed Broch-
et was one of the first battlers to con-
nect with him in this class. Ho con-
nected. In the 7th round with Car-
pentier's right and went down In a
heap.

Paris to cohqucr.
Two bouts resulted. Ih the first
Randall lost on a dcclson In 10 rounds
and In tho second he was knocked out

Then Carpentier drew a blank
from one of his -own countrymen.
Henri Pell had alt the best of a 10
rotfmr argument. This gavo Jack
Daniels. British fighter new hen;
and he requested a second go wit
CJo6rges. Once more a 10 round g
found Daniels on tho wrong end o
-a decision.
England then bid once more by
sending' YoUnx: Nipper across tho
nond to fight Carpentier. This Brit-
isher was a tough bird and beforo tho
fight his chances looked mighty good
After tho fight It was a different story
Carpentier got tho doclsion in eight
franies
Georges then moved In tho wel-
terweight clhss and won three straight
10 round bouts from Jack Mcekins.
Sid Sfagg and Ocorgo ColboUrrie all

He was then matched to meet his
