Fitzsimmons to fight O'Brien after acquittal win

He was acquitted of stealing a lion cub after admitting he took the cub home on a joke from one show owner. Broadways sports crowd shows little interest in the Philadelphia bout and few spectators are expected to travel.

Boston’s slumping bats and misplays doomed the hosts as Siever kept them at bay and a miscue by Selbach and wild throws by Tannehill aided the visitors. Heidrick homered late for Boston, but the rally was too late and the crowd left disappointed.
