Creedon played for the jaw when he found that he could hit Stiff. and paid but little attention to the body Creedon's infighting was some thing terrific, and he always got the best of clinches landing with his left on the jaw at the breakaway. Stiff was put out In the latter part of the fifth round with short jab on the point of the chin.

Show would you like to see cat
+ fish racer" asked q tall, gaunt
stranger Of Mr.. j. T. Gathright, of
Louisville, KY, as he entered the lat
ter's Office in the Louisville Trust
building. Eve got pair of good uns
that I've been working double, but ]
think could get 'em in shape to run
single an pull you off good, square
race. Excitin'! I'll bet my shanty
that theirs never been a boss race
out here at the Downs that'd give
one-tenth' the enjoyment"
Before the stranger proceeded any
further, says the Courier-Journal, he
gave his name rs John Sebree, said
that he was. shanty boatman, and
that he had heard that Mr.. Gathright,
as chairman of the committee on ho-
tells and accommodations for the
Louisville conclave, had been looking
around for some little attraction that
might be of particular interest to
the visitors who stop at the Tented
city in Fountain Ferry park during
the celebration next August.
81 thought might interest you in
them fish, an I dropped in" con-
tinued Sebree before Mr.. Gathright
had time to tell him that he believed
the Knights Templars would hardly
find it convenient to devote their at
tention to contest between channel
cats.
1--WE named 'em Billy and Teddy -
the visitor went on. "They're as gen
tie as lambs an easier to manage
than Jeffersonville ferryboat. Billy
and Teddy are both about four years
old, reckon, and trained 'em over
a year ago to draw boat.
How'd I do it? Well, harnessed
'em to the skiff, of course. A catfish's
well-nigh the strongest animal on
earth for its size. Maybe you didn't
know it. Them two can easily pull

New, here's what I've got to pro-
pose: l see by the papers there's go
in. to be a lot of people here this
summer to attend this big time the
knights of the Templars are goin' to
have. A fellow was tellin' me you
wanted to get up something a little
out of the ordinary to give the folks
you'll have at Fountain Ferry lit
tie divershun.''
This is quite out of the ordinary,
I must say" Mr.. Gathright here
found opportunity to sandwich in.
"Well, that's right, an I'm your
man. went on Sebree. Nov, you go
ahead an fix your seats for the peo-
pie along the bank of the river an I'll
do the rest. I'll take Billy an Teddy
an hitch 'em to light skiff apiece.
I'll fix up the skiffs with flags an
things to make 'em look like these
fancy gondales-ain't it?-the Italy
uns have. Then my two boys will
drive 'em in race. You understand
there won't be anything seen by the
audience but them two boats speedin'
along the surface of the water with
maybe little foam ahead of 'em an
the two boys a-hollerin' an the peo-
pie a-shontin'.
"For the crowds that can't see from
the shore we might arrange it to get
boats down there. I think we could
get Capt. Billy Devan to keep the
track clear. Now, I know you're
vantin' to know my price for this at
traction, an I'll add that I'll bet
there won't be bigger attraction
here at this conclave. Well, sir, it'll
take quite little time to get the fish
in training to work single, an I'm
frank to say want to make a little
out of the thing. so I'll agree to put
you up rafting good show for $780,"
II will be glad to take the matter
under advisement," said Mr.. Gath
right, as he bowed his visitor to the
door with politeness.
