Toledo, O., Jan. 27.-Although George
Tebeau says he has secured the SER
vices of bill Clarke of the New Yorks
for his Kansas City team, the state
ment is discredited here, and it is firm
ly believed that Toledo has a cinch on
the big Lacquer. President Grille says
that he is unable to shed any light on
the story given out by Tebeau but he
does say that after he had made known
his desire to purchase Clarke, he went
after the releases and waivers of the
big team. President Brush Of the New
York team wired him a day or so ago
that the National league club and all
signed the waiver claim to Clarke and
that the necessary papers for the trans
fer of tsBnr' to Toledo would be sent
on in a few days.

damage. kerns' cheek on the right side
was split. On the right temple was a
bruise, sustained when he fell to the

The contest between the two was

expected it to run close to the limit and
Kerns was the general favorite. Lots
of money had been placed on him and
quite a good deal went untaken. His
easy defeat was a distinct disappoint-

The best go of the evening was the
six-round match between Teddy Will

Butte, the former securing the decision.
But even that go was not up to the
standard set for it. Little damage was
done by either of the boys. Williams
gained the honors by his aggressive

Williams tried hard to score clean
