some criticism by friends of American lines,
it soon became manifest that the War De-

came into the Spanish home ports with the
large number of dead and dying men aboard.
To carry the Santiago soldiers home cost

BeSted by Jack Hammond, but No De-

DETROIT, Mich, Dec 12.-"Doc" Payne
and Homer Selby. Kid McCoy's sparring
partner and brother, respectively, took part
at the Auditorium tonight, before an audi
ence of $500, in one of the best sparring
shows seen in Detroit. doc" Payne went
on for six rounds with a local colored man,
Al Colwell, and, although no decision was
given, proved himself by far the better man.
Homer Seby and Jack Hammond, of De-
troit, put up six fast rounds. The local man
had few pounds the best of Selby in
weight and his blows had more steam.
After fiddling throughout the entire first
round, they got together in the second,
Selby having the better of it. The third was
about even. but in the fourth Hammond got
at Selby's bleeding nose and mouth, and
the round closed decidedly in Hammond's
favor In the sixth and last Hammond con-
tinued to punch Selbys face and the bout
closed with Hammond decidedly the ag-
gressor. No decision was given, and it was
agreed that if each was upon his feet at
the close 1t should be called a draw.
