A DUEL In THE DARK

THAT reminds me-" said the man who
had spent some time in the south, "of a
game | sat in down in Kentucky some
years ago"
Tell us!" cried the crowd-hands
were running poorly anyway,-and after
some little persuasion he told his story.
in our particular set down there in
the horse country where Jim Pettingill
and Mr.. J. Tomlinson Jones. When !
tell you that Jim Pettingill was always
Jim to the crowd, and that T. Tomlin-
son Jones was always Mr.. Jones, you
will know as much about the respective
characters of the two men as could be
told in a book. In addition to that I
might say that Jim in one respect was
like the city of Washington-made up
of magnificent distances.
"We were having our usual little Fri
day night affair, and Jim. as on one or
two previous occasions, was raking in
the discs of various colors with regu-
larity too frequent to be agreeable to
the rest of us. AS the game went on
this fact seemed to be getting on Mr..
Jones nerves, because 1t was not plain
to him how he, J.. Tomlinson Jones.
could lose. His manner became offens-
i've, and finally, when II was Jim's deal
and he handed himself as fine a set OF
pot-lifters as eve bore the royal faces
of king, queen and jack. preceded by the
ace, Mr.. Jones exploded.
"'Sir.' said he. in his best j. Tomlin-
son Jones manner L do not care to con-
tinue longer in this game. | am &C
customed to playing with gentlemen,
sir. moi cheats!'
well. the hush that fell on that
crowd was so deep you could hear 1t.
For a second no one breathed. Then
Jim elevated himself to the limit of his
six-foot-two, seized the struggling
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pounds of
Jones and dropped it out of the window.
We heard a muffied, sickening thud, and
then all wal still.
"Of course that broke up the game.
We all knew Jim was square, but after
such an unpleasant occurrence we did
not feel like playing any more that
night. | did not realize, though what
a fine thing Mr.. Jones self esteem was

NEW YORK. June IA. J.. Cassatt.
president of the Pennsylvania railroad,
has resigned from the directorate of
the Equitable Life Assurance society.
That II. c. Deming, Valentine p.
Snyder and Alvin w. Krech would be
asked by Francis Hendricks, state
superintendent of insurance, to resign
from the directorate of the Equitable
is a report that is persistent about the
Equitable building. where Mr.. Hen
bricks continued his oral examination
of officials and directors of the society
in the board room. All three of the
directors when seen denied that they
had heard anything of what Mr.. Hen
bricks intended to do.
Following the announcement of the
resignation of John HI. Stewart as a
director of the Equitable and the
statement that ID. o. Mills would have
his resignation in the hands of Presi-
dent Alexander very soon came the an
nouncement of the resignation of John
Sloane, prominent Ia Danklng anu

Other Equitable directors who have
left the board are II. G. Frick, e. H.

have taken place since the present
troubles of the society began.

birthday. came down to his Office with
his horses bride decked with viOlets.
When he reached his office in the Equi-

The public knows
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-06-07

what he can do, and expects him to live
up to his reputation. When Jack Demp-
sey was match I'd against Bob Fitzsim-
mons everybody who thought that he
knew anything about the game con-
cluded that Dempsey had an ironclad
cinch on the result, and figured that the
Cornishman was in for a severe thrash
ing. But Dempsey was whipped just
the same, and by a man who it was
thought had not the slightest chance OF
a victory. So great a hold had John l..
Sullivan upon the affections of the pub
lie that when he was matched against
Jim Corbett for the heavyweight title
in 1892 the large majority of the sports
refused to look upon the young bank
clerk from California in any other light
than as a loser. The same thing was IL
lustrated in the case of Jim Corbett
against Bob Fitzsimmons at Carson
City, in 1897. 1t was admitted that Fitz
was a great fighter and all that, but to
beat a man of Corbett's known clever.
ness and reputation was thought to be
impossible, especially by a man like
Fitz, who had the worst of the bargain
in point of weight. But again the dark
horse" %triumphed. After that mill the
Cornishman was regarded as invincible
by every n who thought he knew how
to size up a real mighty pugilist. But
his turn came when he tackled Jim JEFF
ries, at Coney Island, in 1899. Dark
horses lave upset calculations among
the little men, too. After Terry McGov.
ern's winning streak, and especially so
after he had conquered the mighty
George Dixon in a manner to convince
the critics of his greatness, it was whis.
pered all along the line that he could
not lose. So when Terry was matched
to meet Young Corbett, McGovern's
friends were laughingin their sleeves and
were figuring upon just how they would
spend their money. Ring followers re-
member the outcome of that mill pretty
well. Terry was put to sleep in just two
rounds, and by a mar of whom little
was really known in the east. Mccoy
ern's friends thought that their man
had been whipped by a chance blow, so
another match was arranged. This time
the affair took place at San Francisco.
and the result was the same. Young
Corbett's recent defeats by Jimmy Britt
and Battling Nelson we're instances of
the talent going wrong again. Joe Bow
ker proved to be a good dark horse when
he defeated frankie Neil recently in Eng
land. So did Pedlar Palmer when he
fought Billy Plimmer the first time and
repeated the dose later on. Terry Nc
Govern surprised the fight sharps when
he conquered Palmer at Tuckahoe, N. Y,
as did Kid Lavigne when he went abroad
and dethroned England's pride among
the lightweights. This list will be in
creased as time goes on, and dark horses
are certain to figure in ring history. In
nine cases out of ten the mar who bets
against the favorite ina fight will come
out a winner in the end.

DEATH OF MRS. DEFFENBAUGH.
Our village was shocked last
Sunday when word was telephoned
to friends here that Mrs. Andrew
Dsfenbaugh had suddenly died of
heart disease at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Emma Kellerman
in Columbus just after dinner on
that day. The aged husband Mr..
Andrew Defenbaugh and son-in-
law, Marion Alstadt at once left
for Columbus. From what could
be learned it appears she wss in
her usual health and had assisted
in the preparation of the dinner
at the Kellerman home that day.
She having just gone to Columbus
few days before to visit her
daughter who has been having an
attack of grippe, and after dinner
she went up stairs alone where in
few minutes she was found dead
by members of the family.
Mrs. Defenbaugh was about 85
years of age the daughter of
Solomon Reigle the founder of
Laurelville, and wife of Andrew
Defenbaugh. She leaves sons
and 8 daughters all grown to man
hood and womanhood, and 15
grandchildren.
Mrs. Defenbaugh was woman
almost idolized by her family to
whom she was a mother in the
broadest sense of the word. untir-
