THOMPSON BOXES
WITH THREE MEN
PROVES A GLUTT0N FOR
WORK
"Fighting Dick" and the "Cyclone"
Rapidly Rounding Into Shape
for Whirlwind Battle
Tuesday Night

Cyclone Thompson and Dick Hyland
are by all odds the busiest ring young
Bters hereabouts, and yesterday was an
other lively period for the fast light
weights who are to meet next Tuesday
evening in a battle which will mean
much for both of the aspiring ring
SterS.
A regulation matinee was held at
Arcadia yesterday, where the Cyclone"
is preparing himself for the fray, and
not the least exciting affair on the card
resulted when TCmmy Burns clipped
Abdul Malgan with a twelve-ounce
glove that all but sent the big oriental
to the mat.
The men were proceeding at fast rate
when Tommy accidentally heaved in a
bad one
The Turk stopped and staggered
about the ring, bleeding profusely from
the mouth. For a moment it was
thought that his Turkship was all in.
but the powerful physique which so far
has appeared impervious to the severest
onslaughts stood him in good stead,
and after a short respite Abdul insisted
upon continuing and Tommy withheld
his hurricane right for the remainder
of the bout.

Cyclone Has Good Wind

Thompsen's wind appears to be as
strong as though he had trained for a
Marathon contest, and after two rounds
with Burns, three with Dalton and
three with Kid Webster, Hyland's op-
ponent was looking for more. The
country air has done wonders, and
Cyclone" is growing impatient for the
hour of battle.
Hyland is going the same route at
Santa Monica and appears equally con-
fident as to ihe outcome. He is not
undertaking Thompson, and Bat Nelson
might be his opponent, so carefully does
fhe San Francis AN work during his
training hours.
Betting on the bout is at even money
all efforts having failed to get Thomp-
son coin down to 10 10 s. With a knowl-
edge that neither man can hope to win
by other than boring in tactics, interest
in the bout is on level with any con-
test scheduled to occur before the
Pacific Athletic club.
Thompson good naturedly gazed at a
picture yesterday which heralded him
as the homelest man in the ring.
We'll / didn't come out here to enter
beauty contest, l came to fight" was
Thompson's laconic remark.
Neary May Meet Winner
Manager McCarey is already figuring
on an opponent for the winner of Tues
day nights contest, and believes that
Charles Neary, the Milwaukee boy
who put Herrera out in seven rounds
recently, would be good drawing card.
Neary is a hard litter and IAN take
all kinds Of punishment as well. He
has a decision over Battling Nelson to
his credit and has put over the sleep
producing waAop t. large number of
lightweights.
In case Hyland wins in the coming
battle it is possible that McCarey would
have trouble in arranging I. match, as
Hyland seems to rrefer Kid Herman,
but should Thompson win there would
be no difficulty in booking the card,
providing Neary would do 1873 pounds
ringside.
1t is understood that the Milwaukee
boy has trouble in making this weight,
but in case he agrees the Cyclone" will
sign articles.
Neary and Thompson, or Neary and
Hyland either. would prove a good
card. All three boys are fighters of the
kind which the fans re willing to pay
their money to see. and 1t is to be hoped
that such contest will be arranged. a
Z Little Eddie Meeney has been
matched again. this time with young
McGoYern. They will meet I'm one of
the preliminaries of the Hyland- -Thomp-
son bout. The fast youngster was
sorely chagrined at the outcome of his
affair with Manuel Torres the other
night and declares that he win again
climb the pugilistic ladder.
Jim Tremble and the Turk are billed
for the second preliminary. Jim took
one decision over Abdul, but made no
impression upon the big fellow, winning
on points.

grievous omission. 1t was in May, and
about 0 o'clock we led forth Miss In.

nightingales were singing in scores.
We all held our breath to listen as one

Shooting Accident Near pufflelds.

A serious shooting accident occur
red Tuesday. morning at the home OF
Mr.. Henry Ronemous, near Dufields.
in which Ralph Morris, aged Ii
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. A.
Morris, was seriously shot by Cor
ney Stribling, the little son of Cor
nelius Stribling, of Washington, who
was visiting at the home of Mr.. Ron
emous. The two boys were playing
together. Young Stribling had a %
calibre repeating Winchester rife.
which he thought was not loaded, and
in fooling with the gun it vas acci-
dentally discharged. The bullet
struck Morris in the back, passing d.
agonally almost entirely through his
body, piercing the bowels in four
places and inficting dangerous
wound. DR.. G. W. Banks was sum-
moned, and on his advice the wound
ed boy was taken to DR.. Vennings
hospital at Charles Town. Later in
the day an operation was performed
by Drs. Venning, Banks. Lucas and
Albin, and the perforatiOns OF the
bowels were sewed up. The bullet
was not found. Latest reports are
that the boy is doing well and has a
fair chance to recover. Young Strib'
ling was greatly distressed over the
accident.

Automobiles on a-Jaunt.

George Rouss, from the southern
part of the county, had some exciting
adventures with his automobile last
week. In company with Lonnie AL
len and Joe Writ, of Charles Town,
he started for Shepherdstown last
Friday night. and while going at
pretty rapid rate the machine butted
into a telephone pole at Mrs. Shep.
herds place two miles from here.
The occupants were thrown out, but
luckily escaped serious injury, though
the automobile was considerably dam.
aged. The services of Charles Web
Der were called in and he succeeded,
after a good deal of hard work, in
making repairs to the machine. Sat-
urday the party started for Hagers-
town, Harry Mundey, Jr., of this
place, going with them. When about
half way to Hagerstown the machine
began to buck again. 1t jumped a
ditch, partly climbed over a wire
fence. side-stepped to the other side
of the road, and then with great de-
termination took a running start and
endea vored to break through a stone
wall. The stone wall, however, had
been put there to stay, and when the
automobile came to the inevitable
sudden stop the occupants kept right
on, landing in the field on the other
side of the wall. The machine gave
a snort and an expiring "chug," and
collapsed by the roadside. When
the automobilists had gathered them
selves together and nursed their
wounds and bruises, they sought
telephone and had a machinist come
out from Hagerstown. He towed
their car to town, where it was fixed
up, The party made spectacular
return Tuesday night,
