Waddell a snlker.

In the several games that he has
pitched since joining the Colonels, Rube
Waddell has demonstrated that all the
nice things that were said about him
when he still was a member of the
Grand Rapids team were true, and that
he is a finished artist compared to what
he was as a member of the Louisvilles
last season Waddell is an eccentric in
dividual who has to be joIlied all the
time in order that his best efforts may
be secured. Crawford, the Reds new
left fielder, who was on the same team
with him, tells of how Manager Lotus
had to kid Wadden in order to keep
him going properly. Lotus strongest
play was to tell Waddell that he was
too good to associate with the other
players on the team said Crawford,
''and in order to make this claim
stronger Lotus always had Waddeu
assigned to room by himself when we
were away on trips. He also gave him
the choice dressing room at the home
grounds. At that Waddell had to be
watched all the time. On several occa-
sions when LOTUS was somewhat lax
in his jOllyinE of the big fellow, he
would sulk, and it required consfderab Bile
taffy to bring him back into line" Wad-
dell will draw more fines than jollies

manager of Tom Carey, the heavy
weight, and Steve O'Donnen, whorl
Carey is matched to meet in the arena
of the Navarro club, at Lexington, on

ed out ten SO bills as an earnest of his
intention to face Carey at the appointed

Tom O'ROurke, manager of George
Dixon, and Sammy Harris, manager of

an outside bet of $4,000 each over the re-
suit of the contest between McGOvern
with Al Smith a few days before the
fight.
Peter Maher, who is training to meet
Tom Kennedy, of California. at the
Lenox club. said today: Can any one
explain why none of these champions or
ex-champions will give me a chance at
them2 I consider that I have just as
good a chance to win the title as any
man in the ring, but when 1 talk about
a match they change the subject. I
would be only too pleased to fight
Sharkey, Fitzsimmons, COrbett or Jeff
r1eS, and III guarantee they Will know
they have had a fight, but it seems i'm
possible to bring any of them to terms.
Usually when I get a match it is to try
out some tough proposition ike Ruhlln or
this young Kennedy. 1 take big chances
of being put away by these big strong
young fellows. but even if 1 win the
championship clique won't give me a
loOk-in. As a matter of fact, I have
a better right to fight the winner of the
Sharkey-J effries battle than either Fitz
or COrbett. Neither of them has ever
beaten me and I certainly was having
the best of Sharkey when the police in
terfered. The heavy weights don't
want to get It into their heads that I
am a has been, for I can change their
opinion in two rounds"

aYELLED FOR HELP.0
A Gang of "Fawnskin'' Highwaymen
Give Tom SharkeY q Scare.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Tom Sharkey,
the prize fighter was confronted in a
dark and lonely road by six mock high
waymeu last night, who demanded his
money. He cried for help and ran half
a mile so fast that he only touched the
high places.
Sharkey is training at Boehm's hotel,
New DOrp. S. l., for his coming fight
New Dorp Lane when the men sprang
roadway. One grasped the horses bride
while the others turned to Sharkey and
demanded that he throw up his hands.
I'VE want your money!" they ex-
claimed in chorus.
you won't get it, I haven't any!"
Sharkey replied with an oath.
The men pulled him from the wagon
and threw him to the ground. Finding
himself Outnumbered Sharkey shouted
for help. He cried so loudly that the
men released him, and he took to his
heels.
In the wagon with him was Fred
Koenig. the driver. He was also pulled
from the wagon, but his shouts brought
about his release, and he fed.
ShaTkey and KOenig reached the hotel
at the same time and reported the hold
up, and a telephone message was sent
to the mounted squad police station at
New DOrp. Men were detailed on the
case. and an hour later the horse was
found tied to a tree near a saloon in
New Dorp lane.
It developed today that the whole
thing was a joke put up on Sharkey by
some well known men.

rcoRMACKs YELLOW sTREAK
Lay Down Frequently to Avoid Pun
ishment From Mccoy.


New York. Sept. 2s-Before 1000 peo-
pie at the Lenox Athletic club last
night, Kid Mccoy clearly proved that
Jack Mccormack of Philadelphia won
by a fulxe few weeks ago in Chicago,
when he knocked Mccoy out.
They met at catch weights for a
twenty-round go, and Mccoy reversed
matters in a very thorough manner. He
simply smothered the big wrestler, and
made hirn look like a novice. He sent
him down several times, but McCor-
mack was not satisfied with these
breathing spells, as he lay down sev-
eral times without receiving punch
He also transgressed the rules by hold
ing and wrestling and was frequently
cautioned. He feigned being grOggy a
couple of times and tried to catch Nc
Coy off his guard 50 that he could swing
his right over Mccoy was not to be
fooled by these wiles and kept on the
alert all the time. He would certainly
have put Mccormack to sleep had the
big fellow stood UP and fought like
man. The spectators became disguised
with McCornack's actions. and so did
Referee Charley White, who sent him
to his corner in the eighth round on ac-
count of his dropping, and declared Nc
Coy the winner.
Before the fight Mccoy was the
favOTite at 10 to 3. Even money was
wagered that the fight would not last
six rounds. After the men had entered
the ring Peter Maher challenged the
winner Mccormack looked twice as
big as Mccoy.
In the eighth and last round Mccoy
opened with a right to the body. Jack
clinched and the Kid gave him five or
six rights over the kidneys and then
sent him down with a right uppercut.
After this there was no more fighting
in Mccormack and he dropped fire.
quently without a punch. The referee
made him get up, and Mccoy knocked
him down with q. left on the face. When
he got up again Mccoy went to him
with a determined look his face.
which so scared the Philadelphian that
he lay down. The referee then stopped
the bout and declared Mccoy the win

The Plucky Denver Man Won Out In

The Plucky Denver Man Won Out In
the Sixth After a Hard Fight
Denver, Sept 2S-Paddy PurteH Of
Denver defeated Charley Goff of Spo-
kane last night in six rounds, before
the Olympic Athletic club.
The men were scheduled to fight 20
rounds at the middleweight limit. Up
to the very end of the fight Goff had
all the best of it. He overmatched Pur-
tell both in height, and reach, and jab-
bed him repeatedly with his left with
out a return. His favOrite blow was a
left jab to face and hard right hook
to ribs, and he did this in the first two
rounds without Purteu being able to
counter effectively.
In the sixth round Purten commenced
forcing matters. He landed a stiff left
on GOf's neck and got a light right
hook on ribs in return. Then Purtell
rushed and swung his left to the neck,
following it with a terrific right swing
to the jaw. Golf went down and came
up groggy. Purten came again with a
hard left swing and Golf clinched to
managed to keep out of danger the few
staggered to his corner. His seconds
threw up the sponge just as the bell
rang for the seventh round, as he was
still dazed from Purtell's terrible
punches.
Golf was the favorite in the betting
at 10 to s, and Denver sports backed
Purteu heavily at these odds, it being
estimated that $4,000 changed hands
on the result.

Eestern " Washerwomen.

From the w aS01nSLOn star.
The hardest worked washerwomen in
the world are the Koreans. They have
to wash about a dozen dresses for their
husbands, and, inasmuch as every man
wears pantaloons or drawers so baggy
that they come up to his neck like those
of a clown, they have plenty to do.
The washing is usually done in cold
water. and often in running streams.
The clothes are pounded with paddles
until they shine like a shirt front fresh
from a Chinese laundry.
The japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing, and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on a
fiat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
of them have quite a luster. The Jap
aneSe woman does her washing out of
doors. Her washtub is not more than
six inches high, and is about as big
around as the average dishpan. She
sometimes uses japanese soap, which
is full of grease, and works away with
her bare feet The Chinese girls do
their washing in much the same way.
The washing in Egypt is usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerman
stands Oa the banks of the Nile and
slaps the wet clothes, with a noise like
the shot of a pistol, on the smooth
stones at the edge of the running wa
ter, and such fellah women as wash
pound the dirt out of their clothes in
the same way.
French women pound the dirt with
paddles, often slapping the clothes
upon stones as the Egyptians do.
