AT meeting Of the members of the
citizens committee of the Young Mems
Christian association yesterday after
noon plans for making a final canvass
of the city this week in the interest of
the building fund were discussed.
Chairman j. E. Carr of the executive
campaign committee and General Sec
retary Luther pointed out the neces-
sity for the hardest kind of work dur
Ing the next few days on the part of
every member of the canvassing COM
mittee If the fund of $35000O is to be
raised. There still remains a defic-
iency of about $96,000 and il this
amount is to be had in hand by 10: 80
the night of May 81 it means that a
determined and united effort will have
to be made by those who have the in
terests of the association at heart.
The raising of 100000 in one week
looks like a big task, but it is one
that number of other cities have sue
cessfully accomplished. AS Secretary
Luther pointed out at the meeting yes
terday afternoon, Los Angeles cannot
afford to score a failure in this respect
and he did not believe it would do so.
Denver raised $130.000 in the last week
of its campaign and Kansas City raised
$4,000 in the last four days. Mr.. Luther
declared that what Denver and KAN
sas City had done Los Angeles GER
tainly could do, and he said he felt
certain the full $35O,OOO would be sub
scribed before the expiration of the
time limit.
Call for Volunteers
1t was suggested, however, that to a
certain extent, at least, the methods
of the two cities named for raising
money be followed here. That is to
say, that call be issued for 500 or
600 volunteers, men who will be will
ing to give up a large part of their
time this week to this work and get
out and hustle for the Y. M. C. A.
Such workers are badly needed and
the committee requests that all those
who are willing to lend a hand in
order that Los Angeles may make a
grand success of this undertaking re-
port to General Secretary Luther in
room $780, o. T. johnson building. Au-
tomobies and carriages also are want
ed. so that arrangements may be made
for q roundup of the citizens such
as never before has been seen here.
In Denver and Kansas City no diff
ficulty was experienced in securing vol
unteers for this work. IN Kansas City
the mayor headed the force of workers,
and, despite the fact that an election
at which he was a candidate was ap-
preaching, he devoted nearly his entire
time for two weeks to the Y. M. c. A.
cause. In both cities a large num-
Der Of the leading business and pro-
fessional men enrolled themselves for
duty on the canVassing committees,
and the consequence was that in the
last week OF the building campaign
more than the required amount of
money was raised. In both cities the
finishes were on the "whirlwind" or
der, and as successful as they were
exciting.

to Miss Ella Maude Clarke by Rev. ].
M. T. Childrey, pastor of the First
Baptist church. The wedding was in

as far as the ceremony was concerned,
the intention succeeded, but for the
afterpart his friends owe him an apol-
ogy.
The bridegroom was SEIZED carried
from the house and strapped to an ele-
waited seat on a sulky drawn by a lean
and sorrowful mule. A procession was
formed headed by a flute and drum
band of twenty-five pieces. and over
100 male and female friends of the
happy couple paraded the principal
streets in platoons of fifteen abreast
A transparency attached to the sulky

who lined the sidewalks that the
couple had just been married. after a
courtship of nine years, while numer-
Gus colored lights and red fire illuml-
mated the scene. 1t was one of the
most novel parades seen in this city,
and the young married couple were
powerless to prevent 1t.

ing. The decision of Henry Hodgkins OF
Boston was received with cheers by the
Biddeford people. but was very unpopu-

that IL any decision were given II should
have been In favor OF Unholz.
Both men looked we'll, with the advan-
tage in weight apparently In favor OF the
Biddetord man. The bout was apparently
all in the South Africans favor until the
ninth round, when Cote came UP strong.
After that round the bout was more even,
but in no round did Cote appear to have
advantage, except possibly In the 10th.
In the seventh a right hook opened
Cote's left eye which bled freely. and
bothered the Biddeford man considerably

Unholz paid particular attention TO that
optic until the close OF the bout The last
round was fought hard. both men land

BALL PLAYERS FIGHT
At P|TTSbURC GAME

The bad blood which has long existed
between the Pittsburgs and New Yorks
broke out at the game at Pittsburg
yesterday. and last night Iron Man" Nc,
Ginnity was out on bail charged with dis
orderly conduct. the charge having been
preferred personally by Mayor Charles F..
Kirschler OF Allegheny.
There was a bitter fist fight between
McGinnity and Peitz Of the Pittsburg
team at the close OF the fourth inning.
and both men will for some time bear
marks Of the fray. Mayor Klrschler. who
was one OF the 5000 spectators at the
game. saw the inception of the fight, saw
McGnnity draw back and strike Peitz
In the face. and when Supt OF Police Glenn
would have allowed McGnnity 10 be led
off the field peacefully by the officers.
Mayor Kirschler rose in his box and shout
ed so that he could be heard all over the
field: Put that man under arrest and
myself will make information against
him"
With that -the-cnppers nipped Joe
and he was later bowling merrily up Rob
inson street in a patrol wagon in charge
Of two officers. while Peitz went TO the
club house. where he washed up and
dressed Both men had. OF course. been
ordered OF the field by O'Day.
The battle was one OF the most sen

Pittsburg which is saying much. Nc

two runs TO score.
McGinnity was loud in telling MEGA nm
what he thought about II. and this was
great fun for Peitz. who was on the
coaching lines and heard the talk be-
tween them.
Peitz did all he could TO keep the quar-
rel up. and after a time he Is said by the
New York side TO have become personal

pulled them apart.
Both Peitz and McGinnity were bleed =

into the battle. but O'Day warned them
both out Of the game and off the field.
They were both starting with the police
when Mayor Kirscher made his call from
the box TO place McGnnity under arrest.
The real trouble was because Peitz ap-
piled vile epithets to McGinnity.
