Dan Creedon Puts Him to Sleep in
Eight Rounds.

NEW YORK, Oct 17.-It took Dan
Creedon, the Australian middleweight,
eight rounds to dispose of Pat Raedy. of
Washington, at the Broadway Athletic
Club tonight. Raedy was knocked down
repeatedly but was game in spite of the
fact that he had no chance to win after
the first round was over. The attendance
was not large. Creedon set the pace and
had Raedy down three times in the first
four rounds
Raedy was still willing to mix it in
the sixth. He landed some solid raps,
but Creedon floored him three times with
swings. Creedon tried again in the sew
enth to end it. but he was too slow and
Raedy escaped without the usual knock
down Raedy showed some slight i'm
provement in the first half of the eighth.
But Creedon finally put in q beautiful
right hand uppercut square on the point
of the chin. 1t not only cut a cash but
also dropped Raedy like a log. When the

TIE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.
siurrnurs of Discomfort Heard in the
Republican Fold.

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-The most notable
happening in the local political campaign
today was of the move of District Attor-
ney Gardiner to forestall the State Super
intendent of Elections. McCullagh, by Sc
curing a special grand jury to hear elec-
ton cases. Major Gardeners move is
planned to bring the prosecution of cases
of fraudulent voting under the supervision
OF a Democratic district attorneys Office
instead of under the Attorney General of
the State. who is a Republican, as is Super
intendent McCullagh. 1t is probable that
the latter will persist in his plans, and the
result may be the convening of two spe-
cial grand juries for practically the same
work

night began its literary campaign by is

by the fact that the Citizens Union, in
stead of contenting itself with endorsing
the ticket, has set out to nominate it sep

column on the ballot. The same action is
being taken by the Independent Labor
party. which has refused to endorse Justice
