Roche guve tho battle to Welsh "on points." A Picture Show Fight It is unquestionably a matter to be . argued. But the preponderance of nr giimeut is in behalf of Charley White. The universal opinion is that for a championship affair yesterday's battle was a poor exhibition of fighting abil ity by either principal. It is generally ugree'd that Freddie Welsh is a punch less champion, but it is also agreed that White is a shameless contender for the Welshman 'a Ntitlo. Their fight yenterday wns humorous nt times In its lameness. With beun shooter blows Welsh tapped the Chicagian during the majority of rounds. In four, pos sibly five of the late rounds, White showed some punchy battling. The Question of which should count the most In tho giving of a decision a score of taps or a quintet of punches was what was being asked today. Freddie Welsh and his wifo and buby iinil Harry l'ollok left for Denver to day. They will go to tho Pacific coust in n few days.

Vernon went up top when Portland bent Los Angeles twice and Vernon bent Oakland twice. Portland won the morning game after llorstmnn's control failed. The Angel pitcher wns lavish with his gifts. Likewise Portland won the afternoon game when Hviins, Wilio, Southworth et al showed they could hit with men on the sucks. The Angeles were full of errors. Vernon's two wins over Onkland was featured by demon Tiger swatting and fielding. Prough was belabored out of the box In the morning. The afternoon found Decnnniere after Vernon wobbling, with spectacular stunts by his support hauling him out of the chowder in sev eral occasions. Seals and Bees divided. . Yesterday's big league hero wns Christy Mathewson. He bested Mor decal Brown in a ''pitching duel" at Chicago. The other "youngster" al lowed IS hits, while Muthewsou gave out only fifteen. The largest baseball crowd of the season In Chicago saw the two old rivals battle. Tho lirowns were given a terrific jolt when the White Sox took both games of the holiday bargain bill. Cobb harvested only two blows out of nine trips to the plate. Speaker hammered the bull for three out of eight. The Yank had a big day. They looked like bushers in the morning contest with the Red Sox, but in the afternoon they came bark and admin istered a defeat to the champions. Brooklyn scored four runs in the day's work and lost both end of a doubleheader. The Phillies by their victories are now tied with the Robins for second place. Kilbane Rests After His Knock-Out Fight Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 5. With the featherweight crowu resting on his head more securely than ever as a result of his knockout victory over George Chan cy, of Baltimore, Champion Johnny Kil bane today denied himself to his friends and took a rest. Boxing critics who saw Kilbans knock tho Baltimorean cold at Cedar Point after seven and a half minutes of fighting, declare the champion out classed himself and hereafter must seek his laurels from among the light weights. Negotiations to match Kilbane with Cleveland succumbed twice to the Leonard, Welsh or Charley White are withering fire of the Detroit atkkera. underway.

But there are JL jEL said to be not over a half-dozen restaurants in the United States where they know how to make it right. Similarly, almost anyone can make a- cigarette. Just roll up some tobacco in a piece of pure paper and there you are. There are, perhaps, over 800 brands of cigarettes sold in this country to day. But not one of them does what Chesterfields do for Chesterfields are MILD; and yet they SATISFY. Some cigarettes may be mild, but they don't satisfy. Only one cigarette does BOTH Chesterfield! This truly unique cigarette has all of that refreshing taste - delicacy (or mildness) which any good cigarette must have.

The mild, yet satisfying Chester field blend is not the result of happy chance. It is one of the results of our many years of cigarette experience of the heavy volume of our purchases of cigarette tobacco of the prestige and advantage these enormous pur chases give us in securing the choicest leaf from the tobacco fields of the world.

If Chester fields were an untried cigarette if we had not been observing their behavior in other cities if we did not KNOWS that they make good with smokers, we could not afford to make these state- ments to you over our signature. But these statements, strong as they; are, can mean little or nothing to you until you have actually smoked your ! first Chesterfield.
