WHEELING P[()P|E,
Havs Arranged to Start a Glass Fac
tory at Marietta.
Why Not Do This Sort Of Thing
Here at Home P--The Gentlemen
Who Are Interested in the Ven
ture.

It was learned yesterday that a
number OF Wheeling people, acting
in conjunction with Marietta business
men,, had made a purchase OF Elk
acres of land inside the city limits OF
Marietta, upon which they will erect
large glass factory, work on which
will commence in the near future.
The local people interested are Addl-
son Thompson, until recently OF the
Fostoria Glass Company, OF Mounds
vile, and formerly secretary OF tae
Crystal Glass Company, Of Bridge
port, and a practical glass man; Nor
ris Horkheimer, of Horkheimer Bros;
R. X. Giffen, of r. X. Giffen & Co.,
and Christian Steinmetz and Thomas
Charleton, formerly OF the Central
Glass Company. With them are asso-
ciated D. B. Torpy, M. F. Nall, A. D..
Follett, H. G. Chamberlain and AID.
Alderman, all of Marietta, and George
F. Miller, vice president and cashier
of the First National Bank of Hunt
ington.
Why this industry could not have
been located in Wheeling is rather diff
ficult Of explanation. This city GER
tainly offers equal facilities for the
manufacture of glass with Marietta.
has as good shipping facilities, and
there are plenty of skilled glasswork-
ers here.

at Madison-square garden concert hall
this afternoon. Slosson won the game
by considerable margin.
In the earlier stages of the contest the

of the first ten innings Sutton, with a
score of 56, had 1s to the good In the
thirteenth inning Slosson tied the score
and soon thereafter he had the game
well in hand.
Sutton made desperate struggle to
cut down Slosson's lead, and through
his audacious drives and at times clever
nurses captured the house, but he could
not maintain the good kork.
AS the game progressed Slosson's su-
perior skill was visible and Sutton
seemed to lose nerve with defeat staring

CHICAGO. Nov. 30.-A special from

clinching except when absolutely neces-
sary and his ducking was marvellous. He
><depended almost entirely on left jabs on
the nose and mouth to stop the big fell
low, and after the eleventh round kept
the blood flowing from Jeffries' nose. In
the second round Jeffries brought
Choynski down with a left swing on the
neck which left Joe flat OH his back The
blow was ineffective, however, and Joe
rose as strong as before.
Referee Jim McDonald's decision was
satisfactory to the crowd of 5000 persons
The disparity in the weight when the
two men stripped for the fray was i'm
pressive. Choynski's weight was said
by his seconds to be 1877 pounds, while it
Is said Jeffries balanced the scales this
afternoon at 230. To the spectators 1t
looked as II this difference of sixty
pounds or over was not very far from
the truth. Jeffries looked larger, in fact,
than he ever did before, while Choynski
appeared in his usual good form, trained
to the hour.
When the big Los Angeles man stepped
Into the ring Choynski, who had pre-
ceded him several minutes. walked
across the ring and shook hands cordi-
ally.
ChoynslSi had for seconds Eddie Gra-
ney, George Green and Tom Murphy,
while Billy Delaney and Jack Stelzner
esquired Jeffries.
The gong rang for the first round and
the. men came quickly to the center Of
the ring and fiddled full two minutes
for an opening. Finally Jeffries lashed
out with his left, but Joe got away and
the glove only grazed his shoulder. Not
another attempt at blow was made in
this round. Choynski appeared to be
feeling" his man and when he got to
his corner his face wore rather wor-
ried look.
The second round was also devoid of
fighting for the first two minutes, then
joe jabbed Jeffries a couple of times
with his left hand in the face. In an
other attempt to repeat the blow
Choynski missed and received hard left
swing between the collar bone and the
jaw which turned him around and he
fell rather heavily on his side. He took
his time in getting up and showed no
Ill effects from the blow.
From this until the tenth round
Chcynski was the aggressor. He studi-
ously avoided mixing 1t, using his left
entirely, Jabbing Jeffries on the mouth
and nose. He tried several times to
land his famous left hook on the jaw,
but the big fellow cleverly blocked al
most every attempt.
After the tenth round Jefrries took
hand at forcing matters, and kept his
more agile opponent moving all the
time. He tried time after time to cor
ner Choynski. but each time Joe sue
cessfully eluded him by some marvel
ously clever ducking. In the eleventh
round Choynski started the blood from
Jeffries nose with his ieft-hand jabs,
and kept 1t going throughout nearly
every subsequent round. He could not
