West Baden, Ind, Sept Jack
O,Brien, the famous lightweight pugn-
ist who has been here since his contest
with George McFadden in New York
last month which ended in q. defeat for
O'Brien, tells a story Of that contest
which reflects anything but credit on
Tom O'Rourlze, at that time his man
ager.
The story in brief is that O'Rourlxe, as
O'Brien's manager, knew that the pugil-
list was in no condition to box on the
night when he met McFadden at Mad
iSOn Square garden, as ne mad Two r1Ds

days before the meeting with McFad-
den 1t is said that O'Rourke told him
to go on anyway, to make all the money
he could while the fighting game was
alive in New York city ORourl1e IS
said to have bet thousands Of dollars on
throughout the country to do the same.
For his end of the deal O'Brien is said
to have received more money for losing
than McFadden did for winning
O'Brien's story is believed by those on
the inside He came to West Baden d.
rectIy after the fight, accompanied by
two trainers, with a letter of credit from
O'Rourke, directing the hotel people
here to give the party the best to be had
and send the bill to him Moreover,

that O'Rourke promised him another

one of the notable attractions From
early morning until night great crowds
listened to the music furnished by this
noted band. Major C. NJ. Cunningham
was the officer of day, and he did his
work assigned him without a break.

and dozens of bicycles, elegantly
trimmed followed In the rear of the
trade display, all combined to make it
the grandest parade ever seen in this
section of the state.
Addresses were made by Congressman

the district comprising Ellsworth, Lin

the speakers stand chorus of rs voices

full songs. The concert given by Mani

main business street, was an entertain
ing feature.
No politics was allowed to be discussed
from the main speakers stand. Senator
Harris and other speakers promise to
visit Osborne again before the close of
the campaign.
One of the most exciting scenes during
the harvest festival was the sham fight

CAMS DEFEATS HAWKINS.
Closing Bout in New York Under the
Horton Law.

New York, Sept. 1.-At the Broadway
Athletic club last night the last series
of bouts under the Horton law were
brought to a conclusion by Joe Cans. or
Baltimore, knocking out Dial Hawkins,
of California, in the third round OF a
contest that was scheduled to go 20
rounds at 1913 pounds.
Both men were at the required weight,
and each looked to be in good condition
when they entered the ring. Cans was
attended by Al Herford, Whitley Lester
and Kid Broad, while Hawkins had as
seconds Spider Kelly, Jack Everhardt
and George Monroe.
Both fought carefully in the opening
round. Hawkins tried repeatedly for the
head, but Cans blocking was perfect,
and not many punches were landed 9TH
er than few swings to the stomach of
Hawkins.
In the second the boys warmed to their
work, and each scored heavily on the
head. Both missed repeatedly in their
anxiety to land, but the round ended in
Hawkins favor because of his superior
work to the body which seemed to wor-
~. Cans.
They started the third with a rush,
and Dial reached Joe's head with a sharp
left to the jaw, but Cans repaid him
moment later with a hard right on the
jaw Cans then eornered Dial and both
started to slug with both hands For
fully a minute they never moved from
the spot where they started, and so vi
cious was the lighting that the crowd
was on its feet in a perfect frenzy of
excitement. Hawkins blows seemed to
carry tn more steam, and it looked as If
the colored boxer would go down. He
steadied himself, however, and with q
sharp right hook to the jaw stretched
Dial on the floor. There was no need for
a count, as Dial was so far gone that he
did not recover for several minutes af-
ter being carried to his corner Cans
himself could hardly stand, and looked
to be ready to drop when he landed the
lucky punch.
