Chicago Lad Makes a Great Show

LONDON. Dec. 6.-The battle between

Croot of Newcastle, England. for the
bantam weight cham pionship of the
world, which was postponed from Novem-
Der IS last, owing to the sudden death of
John Fl ming, manager of the Nation al
Sporting Club, came off tonight. The
National Sporting Club was crowded.
Barry scaled at 104 pounds and Croot at
104 the betting favoring the former.
During the first ten rounds Barry did
most of the scoring in a thoroughly
scientific struggle. Then Croot made
determined stand and at the eighteenth
round had almost equalized matters.
When the nineteenth round opened Barry
Immediately forced the work at a great
pace and finished much stronger than his
opponent. In the twentieth round Barry
put in some excellent drives, and, with
a crushing right on Croot's Jaw,
knocked him out, when only forty Sec
onds remained of the stipulated limit
Barry had just sufficient IN hand to have
secured a verdict had the contest reached
its full length, but the decisive manner in
which he finished his rival stamped him
as q dangerous hitter.
Croot remained UNCONSCIOUS so long
that dical assistance was called. 1t
was found that he had sustained a severe
concusson, though this is not expected
TO prove fatal. He has been removed to
an apartment in the club.

SANTA CLAUS IS TN TOWN
The Old Fellow Has Made His
Headquarters at Raphaeps
Big Store.
Three Beautiful and Realistic Seen es
Which Attract Young and
Old Children.

Santa Claus has come to town. Not the
pictured Santa Claus of the books and
newspapers, but real, live Santa Claus,
with his whiskers, bushy hair and fur
clothing. And he shakes hands with the
children and talks to them Just as the
ideal Santa Claus should do.
If you think this is not true all you
have to do is to go to the second floor of
the immense clOthing-store of RaphaePs,
at 8, IL, l3 and 10 Kearny street. The old
fellow is sitting on The top of a chimney
waiting patiently for the little ones down
below to go to sleep. While he waits he
passes the time in giving out to all who
20 to see HIM the beautiful picture cards
which have been provided, telling of the
many advantages Obtained by trading
with the live firm at whose store he will
make his headquarters until after Decem-
Der 25
To the left of Santa Claus in his store
room, where are piled up in great coniu.
sion loads of toys of all descriptions and
OF sue character that the Yellow Kid ex-
tends to the old fellow the 'glad hand" in
appreciation of what he is doing for the
little folks.
To the right of Santa Claus is bedroom
&C ne with a crib containing two little
girls, who are lying with wild e-open eyes
watching for Santa Claus to make his ap-
pearance. Papa is sitting by the fire place
waiting for the ba bles to go TO sleep, while
mamma stands in her nightrobe at the
head of the bed trying to make the chill
dren close their eyes, and undoubtedly
| telling them that if they do not 90 to
sleep Santa Claus will never come down
the chimney.
The scenes are very realistic and at
tractlve and the large crowd that thronged
the floor all yesterday afterno n was evil
dence that such displays are appreciat ted
by the people.

At the A Cazar.

Frederick Paulding's conception of the char
acter of Leopold Bunyon in "The Nominee"
shows that he hss lost none of the originality
which has always marked his acting in other
plays. As he did in his rendition of Romeo,

missed. The company at the Alcazsr is un-
doubtedly strent thened by the accession oi
