WEIGH DEFEATS FULLER.
Referee McDevitt Stops Bout in Fifth
Round to Save Beaten Man.

The preliminary battle between
Spider" Welch and George Fuller
was clean exhibition of boxing.
Welch was declared the winner in
the fifth round by Referee Jimmy
McDevitt, who stopped the bout for
fear that Fuller might be injured. 1t
was we'll he did so. as the defeated
man had no chance against his hard
hitting opponent.
Fuller was in splendid shape, al
though a trife drawn. Welch was
also trained and very confident. In
the first round Fuller started the go
ing by hammering Welch with lefts
and rights. He landed some vicious
punches and surprised the Spider"
AS the round closed Welch landed a
vicious left uppercut that hurt Full
Ter. 1t was Fuller's round.
Fuller assumed aggressive tactics
in the second round. He landed two
heavy rights on Welch's jaw and
shook him UP. Welch took things
easy. and let Fuller tire himself. Full
Ter fought hard in the third, but could
do no damage. Welch would cover
up and allow George to do the bat
tling and then would let fly with both
hands and land heavy wallops on Full
ler's head and body. Welch used a
left shift, a la Canole, and caught
Fuller mapping. The second time he
tried it Fuller crossed him with his
right on the jaw. 1t was even up at
the end of this round.
Welch tried covering up tactics in
the fourth and allowed Fuller to do
the work When the latter tired
Welch turned loose and had his man
going. The Spider" had his man in
a weary condition before the round
ended and It was apparent to all that
Welch would win the next round. Full
Ter was game. however. and came up
for the fifth round ready and willing
to mix Welch hooked him twice with
his long left and then sent in a ter
rife body punch which hurt. Fuller
fought back, but Welch, scenting vic
tory, went in and in half a minute had
Fuller faltering. He shifted and sent
a terrific left to the body and followed
with a right TO the head, sending Full
ler TO the floor. Referee McDevitt hu-
namely stopped the fight and gave the
decision to Welch. Fuller arose be-

jacksonville Bank Fails.

The First National Bank of Jack
sonville, j. M. Shoemaker, president,
was placed in the hands of a receiver
on Monday. This bank was one of the
Oldest in the state, having been In
operation since 1874. Only two state
banks had deposits there, and they
have been protected. Our local bank
is not at all effected. Several VOlu-
STA county men had good-sized depos-
its with this bank. 1t Is said that a
Seville man; who had just sold large
amount of property, had $1,000 on de-
posit with this bank. Mayo Dade was
proba bly, the largest DeLand de posi.
tor, having $4OO on deposit. The in
soIvency was caused by three large
loans made several years ago on phOs-
phate properties. The receiver will
proba bly, be able to pay de positors al
most in full, but their money will be
tied up for several months. Jackson
vile banks should have come to the
rescue of this institution. Bank fall

With Apologies to the Public.

The communication in the last issue
of the Record signed by Fl. ID. Bracey,
and rejecting on me, while founded
on fact, is modelled into the most ar
tistic fiction.
The offer by me to sell THE NEWS
to Isaac A. Stewart was made six or
eight months ago, in good faith, and
after Stewart had asked me to set a
price on the paper and plant. The
offer was made in writing, and have
a carbon copy of the correspondence
on file; this / will take pleasure in
showing any of my friends who wish
to see it. My enemies, God bless 'em,
may keep a-guessing.
The statement that | offered to sell
space in the paper to Stetson for any
purpose Is deliberate, malicious
falsehOod.
DR.. Bracey was in my Office one
morning several weeks ago; it was
his custom to come in every morning
to read the papers-a custom of sew
eral years standing. He was COM
planning that "all the papers of the
state were subsidized and would not
print the Stetson side of the contro.
vcrsy." lreplied that ! would print
anything he or Stewart brought in
'if it was COuched in decent Ian.
guage." This is evidently the foun-
dation for the malicious falsehood.
have perhaps discussed this mat
ter more freely with DR.. Bracey than
with any other man. He-was in my
office every morning and never failed
to bring up the subject in his usual
pessimstic manner. l looked upon
him as friend, not as a spy, which
was evidently my mistake.
Respectfully,
CHRIS. .. CODRINGTON.

to think that he would not get my

StetS0n Again
Wins from f. f. s.

.
From the Gainesville Sun, Saturday.
r. Asst Florida Seminary is a good
- school, but they can't play ball. If
the ball team was as efficient as the
school they would not have suffered
defeat three times in succcssion-but
1t Is not, and that settles the ques-
tion.
10 use vulgar expr ession, the rot
tenest game of ball ever seen on the
Gainesville diamond occurred Thurs.
day afternoon, and those who wit.
messed it were thoroughly disgusted
In fact, a number left the grounds
before the game was over, for f. f.
>. and StetsOn were so unevenly
matched in the matter of efficiency
in the national game that the contes,
did not appear at all interesting.
Roaring Dill' Kennedy had led
the people to believe that they wouIu
witness d fine game, and it may be-
said 10 his credit that he believed it.
for he played well himself, and eX.
pected his men TO do the same. Boil
he and Smith, the catcher, performed
good work, but the support was absO.
lutel to the bad, and it is no wonder
that Stetson won out by the ridicu-
lOus score of II to |.
1t was a bad day for the f. f. S
team. Not only was their work very
poor. but they went up aga inst one of
the strongest college teams in the
state, and when it came to pla ying
ball they were not in it.
Roaring Bill was naturally blue over
the result of the game last night, and
dec lares he will never play the same
men again. Nobody will blame him
for that.
The Stetson boys are all clever,
whole-sOuled boys, and made many
friends here. They are also good
ball players, which fact was fully de.
mOnstratcd.

teams:
