is the outcome OF Maine clubs failing to

moters Of the Maine baseball league have
decided TO call a meeting for Jan. rs at
Brunswick, to discuss the situation and
to formally organize. Rocklanu, Bath,
Lewiston, Augusta, Bangor and probably
Portland will send delegates. There is a
strong feeling that purely Maine organi-
zation will prove success. A large part
of the expense involved in going to Rhode

The 20-round go between Tommy Dixon
Of Rochester and Joe Youngs OF Buffalo
drew an immense crowd TO the Empirs
Athletic Clubs arena at Buffalo last
Dight. The place was Jammed aud the en-.
thnsiasm was intense. A big crowd from
Rochester vas present 10 cheer on their
man. Herman DoSschsr, tie Eastern
League umpire, was referee.
Both men were in good condition when
they entere1 the ring. Youpgs had the
advantage of height and weight, but this
counted for but little against Dixon's
generalsbip and his quickpe:s.
Up to the seventh honors were about
reach Youngs's head. Then tn the 18th
round il was give aud take with the ad-
vantage on neither side.
The 18th round was the main one of
the event. Youngs evidently had his
instructions to put his man out. he
started the rush, put every advance was
cleverly stopped, and Dixon began to
wake up. lie had Youngs all but out
when the Buffalo boy took q sudden rally
and Dixon was going fast when the gong
sounded.
The next three rounds were easy, both
men spsrring for wind and both showing
weakness. The seventeenth saw some rspid
and cievor in-hghting. In the nineteenth
Youngs showed signs OF hard fight, while
Dixon was apparently as bright as at the
beginning.
The twentieth and last round saw some
fierce fignting, but neither was able to
land knockout blow, and the referee
called 1t draw. The points were in
DiXon's favor.
