His left was kept busy Strengthening
itself out each time that Lavigne es-
saved a left hand chop at the face. The
lad from Saginaw frequently ran his
mouth against the mitten, but that was
all. Those would-be bread basket dis
turbers which Lavigne swung at his
opponent were never intended to do
bodily harm. They were invariably
sent out just as Tracey was in the act
of side-stepping, but strange to say
the little man with the short neck and
powerful swing always failed to follow
up his game and corner the lad Of
shifty feet and strategic movement.

ENGLISH SHEEP DOGS.

In England and Scotland the fad for
sheep dogs is growing. AS compan-
ion to shepherd or stockman the old
English sheep dog, being easily trained
and at the same time steady and de-
liberate in movement, cannot be beaten.
In Scotland sheep farming has been
carried on in parts isolated from hu-
man habitation, therefore the shepherd
and his collie are often separated from
human associations for a considerable
time. The collie is thus less of a
household dog than the bobtail, who,
being employed to herd, drive and
watch stock, to guard his master s
premises, drive trespassing stock away.
and, in fact, act as the friend and as
sociate of his masters family, has de-
veloped that charming disposition
which has made him one of the best
Of companions. Owners of sheep dogs
say gentleness goes farther in training
them than anything else.

with blocking and getting away I'M
scathed and hardly tried with his
right, which has dealt many a hardy
boxer a knockout blow.
Two or three times Lavigne seemed
to forget his agreement not to hit in
the clinches, and would throw his right
into Tracey's body after they were in
each others embraces. The crowd
Kissed and yelled Foul but Tracey
only laughed and did not seem to mind
1t.
The men seemed to thoroughly enjoy
their little exercise bout, as neither was
being punished to any extent, and
laughed at each other as one or the
others leads fell short or was guarded
away. In fact up to the tenth round
the show partook of the nature of a
parlor entertainment, very pretty
boxing exhibition and an illustration of
fencing, sparring, lodging and foot
work, but in no sense q fight.
In the tenth round it really looked
for a while as though the men intended
to mix things and settle their dispute
once and for all in that and the next
few succeeding rounds, but the illusion
was short, and after that round and
until the end their old tactics were re-
sulned. During the intermission be-
tween the ninth and tenth Tracey's
seconds took off his porous plaster. and
1t may nave l1mbered up the Australian
bit. After blocking four of Lavigne's
straight left leads in succession and
ducking away from fifth, Tracey up
rercut swiftly with his left, but the
blow was smothered by Lavigne clinch-
ing. Both then rushed and swung
hard rights into the body. Lavigne
planted hard one on the face, and
Tracey, realizing that the next move
was I'D TO him, flushed the Kids
mouth with a straight left, which
raised Lavigne off his feet.
The later returned with hard left
swing. which reached Tracey's chest as
he jumped away, though it was intend
ed for his head. Thus the round ended,
and after that the bout lost interest, as
no further damage was done up to the
end. Tracey danced away from any
prospective danger when the kid"
tried to bore through his guard, and
contented himself with a slight sem
blance of return, though in fact he
seldom landed, and then only lightly.
The crowd commenced leaving the
arena before the twentieth round was
on, showing its lack Of interest in the
fight. It was preconceived then that
Lavigne would get the decision by rea-
son Of his continual leading throughout

An immense crowd was present at
Uoodward's Pavilion last evening to
zee what turned out to be very clever
but mild fistic entertainment.
The actors were George LaVigne,
commonly known as the Saginaw
Kid" and Tom Tracey, late Of Aus
tralia The contest was Of twenty
rounds and was won by Lavigne, who
was awarded a decision by Referee
Jim Mcdonald because he happened to
be the aggressor from start to finish.
The so-called fight was very enter
tanning to those who take pleasure in
witnessing sparring exhibitions, but to
men who are thoroughly conversant
with the prizefght game and who can
discern at a glance when a contest IS
on the level, last evenings parlor show
was far from being satisfactory.

and his alleged opponent, Mr.. Thomas

the contest and his apparent desire TO
force the fighting. Tracey showed some
slight inclination to take cnance anu
stand up and mix matters in the laSt
round, but in reality did not actually
do any more work than he had IN any
Of the previous ones. He countereu La
vigne with a left on the body when the
Kid rushed in at the beginning, ana
they duplicated the proceeding a lew
seconds later. Lavigne uppercut Aoi
the first time during the fight ana lano-
ed flush on Tracey's neck, ana the lal-
ter threw his right into the Douy as
they clinched. Lavigne swung wicket
left and missed, ana trl 1' ~ nis meet
straight many times, only 10 ineet
Tracey's block with his gloves and TO
find him not there.
Thus the fight ended about as 1t De,
gan, with neither man much dlstreSoeo
and less hurt by any OF the ploWs ne
had received. It had been a pretty
sparring match, of leads and blocks ana
counters and pretty foot work, but
withal harmless in the extreme, ana
the exhibition never once had the com
plexion Of a prize fight, save 1or the
presence of the padded ring ana the
principals within it.
After the men went TO their Co[heLs
at the end of the bout, Tracey with TIE
same smile on his face, half qulzzlng,
half tantalizing, that he wore through
out the contest, Referee Mcdonald
raised his hand and declared Lav1gne
the victor, as he had done most OF the
aggressive work. The announcement
was well received, the few misses OF
Tracey's hackers being drowned In the
applause But there were many In the
audience also probably Tracey men,
who expressed themselves aud1bly on
the way out to the effect that a draw
would have been nearer right, ana IN
this they were supported by many
sports, who contended that Traceys
lodging and ducling were as much
part of the game as Lavigne's con-
tinuous but ineffective leads. A draw
might have suited more of the bettors,
as then nobody would have been out
anything on the result; but on the
showing the men made, such as 1t was,
Lavigne certainly earned the decision
as given.
The preliminary bout Of the even
ing was between "Speck" Smith of the
Olympic Club and Fred Bell of the
Manhattan Club, the latter taking the
place Of Willie Cole, who was
billed to meet Smith, but was
obliged to withdraw at the eleventh
hour owing to a sprained ankle.
Smith and Bell fought like demons
for three rounds of their ten round
bout. and several times during the
second and third rounds both men were
nearly out At the end of the third the
fighting was so fierce that Police Cap
tain Gillen. fearing a serious end1ng,
ordered Referee Jimmy Whalen TO stop
the fight. which he did, declaring 1t
draw. Bell then had a shade the best

followed a few moments later with his
seconds, Al Smith, De Witt Van Court,

Announcer Billy Jordan brought In

Tracey of San Francisco. James NC
Donald, the famous National League

contest and James Chesley as time
keeper for the club.
Tracey looked to be in magnificent
condition and trained to the hour. He
wore dark trunks and huge porous
plaster on the small Of his back. La
yigne also seemed to be in splendid
fettle but a trifie heavier than was ex-
pected. He stood several inches short
er than his opponent. The men agreed
to break away clean in the clinches.
1t was lust half-nast o'clock when the
gong sounded for the opening round
In the first round after a little pre-
liminary sparring and jumping away,
Lavigne was the first to lead with a
stright left which Tracey blocked,
jumping away. He then made a vicious
left swing. but fell IT. He jabbed
with his left and missed again. He
managed to land light left tap ol the
nose, and Tracey jumped away from
another similar blow. Lavigne then
landed a light left on the face, and
Tracey planted his left into his oppo-
nent's ribs. Lavigne fell short with sew
eral more straight lefts. and Tracey
blocked his swings and clinched.
Tracey rushed in and landed stiff left
on the mouth, they clinched and broke
quickly. Lavigne tried more straight
lefts and was blocked. Tracey showed
clever footwork, dancing away from all

into the body as they came into a
clinch. Tracey rushed in, swinging his
left just before the bell sounded, and

HOW THE GOVERNMENT COULD

There is a movement on foot to punish
Wells-Fargo and the other express COM
panies for having refused to stand their
share of the war revenue tax. This Is
to be done by having the Government run
opposition in such a manner as to de-
prive the companies of much OF their
valuable patronage. The movement is
well under way in the East, and yes
terday 1t struck this city, at a meeting
of the Manufacturers and Producers AS
ISOLATION. 1t came in the form of long
letter from the Chamber of Commerce of
Detroit, Mich. The Eastern body asks
the local commercial bodies to join with
it in an effort to secure from the next
Congress the passage Of bill providing
for lower parcel postage rates and an ex-
tension of the system to foreign countries.
This is to be effected by having the
local bodies induce the Pacifigc Coast Sen
ators and Representatives to support the
measure when it comes up for action.
The Congressional strength OF the move
ment in the East Is already considerable,
but the cooperation of those in the West

1t is the desire of the Eastern merchants
to not only have the rates decreased, but
have it SO that packages corresponding
in size to those carried in Europe may be
received and delivered by the postal SER
vice. 1t is further proposed to have the
system extended into the European coun-
tries. The matter was discussed at length
by the directors of the local association
yesterday, and 1t was decided to comply
with the wishes of the Detroit body.
