HACK MOFFATT LOST
 BY SAME ACCIDENT
Thinking His Dislocated Shoulder All Right, He Led With Left and the
 Arm Dropped Limp.

Chicago, February IA repetition of the accident that lost Jack Moffatt two fights with George Gardner brought de- feat again to Moffatt tonight at the Amer ica Club in a contest with Billy Stiff for wearing an elastic bandage on the left shoulder that hadsbeen dslocated on two similar occasions. Moffatt landed some telling blows with his left without eX- periencng any i'll effects, and apparently had the fight well in hand. He had taken things easy in the first round and con- tented himself with countering and danc- ing out of the way of Stifts wild swings. In the second Moffatt began to use his left little. and managed to reach Stift without any difficulty, scoring a big lead on the round. Thinking that his shoulder had finally recovered two former mishaps Moffatt started the third round in earn est. He chased his opponent all over the ring and was giving him a severe drub- bing when in an effort to land a knockout he used the left again. The blow. sen: with terrific force, landed on Stifts head. Instantly Moffatt's left arm dropped limp to his left side The referee stopped the fight and Stiff was awarded the decision.
 Kid" Goodman of Boston and Al Eel lows of Chicago fought six fast rounds to a draw.
 Mike Schreck of Cincinnati and Hugo Kelly of Chicago also went six rounds to a draw.

TOO MUCH CHAMPAGNE.
Washington Senator's Cause a Warn
 ing to Society Women.

l From the Chicago Chronicle.
 1 One or two Washington sensations. in
 which young and inexperienced girls have
 been deplorably prominent, have opened l the eyes of a good many people to the fact that a great deal too much cham
 pagne Is frequently consumed at some society functions there. One of these
 girls has gone to her home in the West
 as the result 0 her indiscretion. She was only a short time out of school and was among the guests at an afternoon reception given by the wife of a foreign diplomat. After all the other guests had departed wrap delonging to the west ern girl was found in a dressing room As it was impossible to believe she had departed without the garment the hostess suspected that all was not right She instituted search and found the girl in the billiard room on the top story. She was hopelessly intoxicated
 Madam at once communicated with her guest relatives and the girl was carried to a sleeping room. On regaining con- sclousness she was overcome with shame It was then learned that dapped young foreign scoundrel had induced her to go with him to the billiard room. where she drank sex eral glasses of wine, "iust for lark. as he put it. Just about the time the other guests began to leave she felt the first symptoms of intoxication. The foreigner became alarmed and hurried 1y departed leaving her alone in the bi- lard room.
 By all accounts it appears that the in- cfdent related above is but one of many though few have resulted quite so dis astrously. Girls of little or no experience come from their quiet homes and are suddenly thrown into contact with the dissipations and free-s nd-easy conditions of life at the capital. Foreign diplomats and their attches in gorgeous uniforms dazzled such inexperienced persons. waltz or two aggravates their excited condition and often what begins in a harmless Irritation leads to some madcap freak which brings them perilously close to disgrace. Certain of the more staid society leaders are considering the ne- cessity of action looking to an improve ment of the present deplorable situation.
