Chicago Fighter Recently Defeat
ed i'm Davenport Loses An
oIher Battle.
BALDWIN 0UTPOINTS HIM
Benny Too Slow and Cautious Admits
lnferiority After Fifteen
Rounds.

| Chelsea. Mass, Nov. 22.-Benny YAM
ger of Chicago went down to defeat last
| might at the Lincoln A. C. of this city.
After 10 rounds of hard fighting Ref
cree Jack Sheehan awarded the decis-
ION TO Matty Baldwin of Charlestown.
The decision appeared to be popular.
Yanger himself acknowledged his de
feat to Baldwin and accompanied it by
a hearty handshake and congratula-
lions
Both men weighed in at 100 pounds
appeared to be fit for the battle. Bald
win. if anything, appeared to be the
stronger. in Yanger's corner were Bill
| ~ Rhodes of Kansas City. Jack Curley,
his manager. and Jack McCloskey of
Boston. Baldwin was seconded by
George Dixon and Billy Gardner.
Start Cautiously.
Both men started cautiously and in
| the first round Baldwin appeared to
nave slightly the better of it. The sec
Ond@ and third rounds were slow and
uninterestng. case Of hit and clinch.
Yanger having a shade the better of
the, argument. Baldwin by that time
had felt out Yanger and he started in
TO do the leading. His jabs TO the face
and swings TO the body and head -wor-
ried the Chicago man. who was stead
lily trying TO bring over his right for a
knockout
Yanger played considerable havoc
with Baldwin's stomach. and because
many of the blows landed low he was
cautioned by the referee to be careful,
although it was plain he was not at
tempting 10 foul
Not Fighter of Old.
In every clinch Baldwin shot in hard
right short arm blows to Yanger's kid
neys and soon had them sore. The
kidney blows probably helped to slow
down the Chicago man. As the bout
proceeded the admirers of Yanger. and
there We're many of them, were forced
to acknowledge that he had gone back
and that he was not the great little
fighter of old. He was cautious, took
too much time TO measure his man.
and when he did let go Baldwin was
either not there or easily blocked the
blows.
His punches lacked the steam he
had been noted for and only in the
ninth round did he show any of his
ability to punish an opponent. A hard
left swing to the stomach weakened
Baldwin and Yanger went after his
man with right and left swings. but
he was too cautious and failed to score
decisively.

COAL GAS FATAL
David Young, Old Resident of
Moline, Dead, and Wife
Barely Alive.
POLICE BREAK OPEN HOUSE
Had Not Been Seen Since Tuesday
Old Man Put Up Stove and Left
Flue Clogged.

A defective draft in a hard coal
stove caused the death Tuesday night
or yesterday of David Young, an old
resident of Moline, and may be fatal
to his wife Both were found in bed
at the home, 713 Sixteenth stree,
about G o'clock last evening by po-
liceman who was called by a neigh
Dor Mr.. Young was dead. His wife
was barely alive She recovered con
sciousness today and may recover.
About dark last evening George
Schlopfeldt a neighbor. reported to
the police that no one had been seen
about the Young home during yester-
day. An officer on investigating. found
the doors and windows of the house
closed and locked. He finally forced
the pantry window open and was met
with such a rush of coal gas that he
was compelled to suspend operations
| till some of it had escaped.
Found as They Had Retired.
On going into the bedroom Mr.. and
Mrs. Young were found as they had
retired Tuesday night The husband
was cold in death and the wife barely
showed signs of life. The latter was
taken to the hospital and a physician
worked with her all night before she
gave evidence Of returning TO con
seriousness. Her first inquiry was for
her husband. but in her weakened con
dition it was deemed inadvisable to
tell her the truth.
A clogsed flue appears TO have been
the cause of the tragedy. The fire is
Kept burning and the stove will con-
tinue to emit gas till Coroner Eckhart
returns from Cambridge where he has
| been called as witness in the Maggie
case, and an investigation will then
be made in connection with the in
quest.
Mr.. Schlopfeldt says Monday Mr..
Young sought aid in putting up the
stove, which had been stored during
the summer Failing to get help the
old man undertook the task himself
but with poor success. Tuesday Mr..
Schlopfeldt was called in by Mrs.
Young, who said the stove was emit
ting gas. He found that the stove
pipe had been pushed too far into the
chimney, interfering with the draft.
+. This he remedied. That was the last
time either Mr. or Mrs. Young was
seen before they were found in bed
last evening.
Native of Virginia.
Mr. Young was born in Virginia Dec.
%, 1881. He came to Moline in the
early SOS and during the war followed
the vocation of miller in that city For
some years he had been connected
with the shipping department of Deere
& Co He was married twice, the
second and surviving wife being Mrs
Emma Williams before her union with
Mr.. Young Three children by the
first wife survive. Mrs. Richard Pay

HUMBLY GRATEFUL
Is DanviIle for What Bloomington
Seeks to Do for the
Place.
GETTING THREE-EYE BERTH
Town Already Has Financial Troubles
In the Kitty on Its
Hands.

Danville will be under great oblga-
lions to Bloomington and all that APP
pertains thereto if a berth in the
ThTee-Eye league in place of Daven-
port is secured. This fact and the
further one that Bloomington is doing
all the boosting for the Kitty league
town is shown in the following from
the Danville Press: Should Danville
be fortunate and secure a slice of the
Three-Eye league melon, which will be
cut up and distributed among eight
Illinois cities at a meeting to be held
in the near future by the league mag
mates. local fans will be indebted to
the baseball association and neWspa-
pers of Bloomington for they are doing
all in their power to land this city in
the place made vacant when Daven-
port dropped out of the league. Other
cities are after the franchise, but the
baseball writer's of Bloomington want
Danville and are pulling hard for us.
Since President Holland of the Three
Eye invited the local association 20
join his organization, the Bloomington
sporting writer's have said many nice
things about Danville, which will not
be forgotten by the fans. and when the
season opens the Boomers will find
a warm spot in the hearts of the local
lovers of the great national game
Already Has Troubles.
BY the way. Danville is having it's
troubles in a financial way as a result
of its connection with the X. I. T. A
large number of the stockholders who
subscribed for the support of the team
have failed to pay up and trouble is
being experienced in getting them to
attend meetings to discuss the matter
Not very good recommendation for a
city that is bidding for n place in fast
er company.

TO GET MORE FOR MILK.
Producers Viii Benefit By 4ction of
Consolidated EXCHANGE.

The possibility Of increase in the retail price
Of milk from to 10 cents quart Is approach
ing probability. The Consolidated Mix Exchange
at its monthly meeting yesterday afternoon voted
to increase the price 20 be paid TO the farmer from
cents 10 3A cents a quart This, with the freight
added. that forty-quart can Of milk will
cost no less than cents a quart delivered at tho
railroad terminal before the dealers take Il for de-
livery to their customers The price has rarely
reached this point before November l. II seems
very probable now that the price to the dairynen
will go much higher. perhaps es high as cents or
IA cents q quart, with tho freight added. II Is
hoped that the increase offered to the dairyInen
will result IN attracting additions TO the supply.
At the present time there Is hardly milk enough
20 supply the need OF the city. For several days
last week and early this week there was serious
shortage. notwithstanding tho fact that the Jewish
holidays had made great reduction in the demandl
Thousands upon thousands OF quarts into
the city sour because OF the shortage OF ice. On
one day 10 was estimated that tenth OF the entire
or tuesday and yesterday reduced The shortage
from this cause TO a very small amount.
1t Is expected that some Of the milk dealers will
meet in few days to discuss the question OF rais
ing the retail price.
One of the members OF the Consolidated Milk
Exchange said yesterday that the raise would af-
feet the wholesaler only and that the retail price
OF milk would remain the same for the present At
the nSw figure a forty-Guart will cost the
wholesaler 81 81, as against 81 81, which price has
prevailed for about q year. This figure includes
