FORMATION OF FIGHT TRUST

In former years four clubs had con-
troll of the prize fight game. They
each paid $1,000 annually into the city
treasury. One fight was held every
month, and the permits went to the
clubs in rotation. When Ruefs Board
of Supervisors assumed power In jan
uary, 1906. the four clubs were united
into one under the name of the Asso-
ciated Athletic Club. The men in con-
troll were Eddie Graney, James Coff-
roth, Morris Levy and Willis Britt.
The new club was given a monopoly

In connection with u forecast Of the
dwelling ceremonies for the statue to
Ensign Worth Bagley, brief sketch
lof his life will be Of particular in
terest.
Worth Baglcy was born in Raleigh
April 6, 1874 His father was the late
|William II. Bagley. who was Il brave
Confederato officer. His mother was
Miss Adelaide Ann Worth, daughter
of Governor Jonathan Worth. OF North
Carolina. Young Bagley grew UP In
Raleigh, attending the public schools,
and later the Raleigh Male Academy,
where he received his preparation to
lenter tho Naval Academy at Annapolis.
In early boyhood he manifested fond
moss for the affairs Of the navy, and
was devoted student OF naval war
fare. AS thirte en-year-old boy he
wrote a story of n naval engagement
In the fogs OF Newfoundland that ut
|tracted attention, and lie was familiar
with every decisive or important naval
engagement in history.
His appointment to tho Naval Acad-
envy came through Congressman B. III.
Bum, of the Fourth Congressional Dis
|trlct. This was In 1889, when he was
:|only fifteen years old. He#entered
Annapolis September 7. 1882 He grad
|uated with honor In the class of 1895.
He won considerable honors as foot
ball player, and the idea that he had a
|"footbnll heart" for n time jeopnrdized
his opportunities for active service In
the navy. However. this was overcome
and he was assigned to service with
! the lslttleship Maine, and later With
j tho Texas, being With Captain Sgsbee
when ho received the appointment as
!, executive officer on the Winslow. tho
