KELLY MEN
BET MONEY
THINK BUFFALO FIGHTER WILL
BEAT ATTELL
Eddie Hailed as Second Terry Me-
Govern and Is Advertised as
Coming Featherweight
Champion

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-Eddie
Kelly, the Buffalo newsboy has
jumped into marked prominence owing
to his match with Abe Attell next Fri
day night in Dreamland pavilion. Some
enthusiastic Kelly men profess to be-
lieve that he will enter the ring fa-
vorite over Attell. The betting last
night was even money, and it will take
several days to settle the price down
to Its legitimate mark. The Kelly men
are taken so much by his showing in
training that there is no predicting
what they will do.
Kelly is hailed as the successor of
Terry McGovern, and there is reason
for 1t. He resembles the once terrible
one in many ways. He has the same
aggressive appearance, is stoutly built
on the best of lighting lines, and is a
tremendous hitter for boy of his size
He is a featherweight from his chest
down, but his arms are almost as
heavily muscled as those of a welter-
weight.
Attell has been passing Kelly up for
some time, refusing even to meet him
in a six-round bout. He told a number
of promoters that he did not care to
fight the little Buffalo boy, and they
despaired of bringing the two together.
Attell has not been as successful in bet
ting ventures on the track as ne Woulu
like to be. and the lure of the $2500
guaranteed purse was more than he
could resist, so he signed the articles.
Manager Jack Gleason is advertising:
Come and see a new champion
crowned" There is something OF
prophecy in the announcement but At
tells friends think he will be able to
defend his title.
Kelly has ben playing horse with
the boys who have been boxing with
him in his training at San Rafael.
Johnny Frayne, the clever lightweight,
Jimmy Carroll and other boys have
had try with him and are loud in
their praise of his ability. He has
speed and hitting ability, and dearly
loves a sharp mixup with the gloves.
Billy Nolan, who is one of the most eX-
perienced conditioners in the business,
is taking him along quietly, so that
he may not be overtrained. He mas
been working hard since he came 10
this coast, so that all he needs now is
light exercise to keep him in health
He will do his last big work this after
noon, as he expects lot of visitors at
his training camp.
Attell is losing no time in his quar-
ters at Colma. He did not show much
earnestness in his training for his
meeting with frankie Neil, but this
time 1t is different and he is not vast

sadly disappointed, for the Nothing

Nelson gave about 800 enthusiasts

to Catalina. Dalton and the Turko

spent the afternoon looking things
over on the island.
In the morning Bat went on the
road for a nice long run, and when
he came back to camp he was rather
low in poundage. Bat has no trouble
in reaching the 133-pound mark at any
time, and as his general condition is
excellent he will take things rather
easy from now on.

MAYOR VETOES
AN7ETP BILL
TOO DRASTIC TO PLEASE THE
ADMINISTRATION
reasonable and Unfair to Local :
Newspapers as Against the
Press Elsewhere

The anti-race tip ordinance will be
sent back for correction to the city
council on Monday, vetoed.
Before leaving the city Mayor A. c.
Harper dictated to Secretary Herbert
D. Kennedy a message giving the
mayors objections to the law in its
present form.
The principal objections made by the
mayor seem to be that Los Angeles
newspapers are denied the privilege
of printing tips, betting odds and sim
liar information. yet outside newspa-
pers are sent into the city or beyond
the city limits containing the contra
band information.
Under the new law also tips On any
kind of contest are barred, which
would include the bi gcollege boat
races and comment as to the probable
winning crews.
The mayors message in part says:
"It is my opinion that this ordi-
nance Is so drastic as to be unrea-
sonable and unfair to our local news
papers, and calculated to inhibit the
legitimate functions of the medium OF
publicity.
II am in sympathy with and have
supported the ordinance adopted to

races, but under the provisions of this
latest ordinance our local publications
will not only be prohibited from pub
fishing what Is deemed proper refer
ences to legitimate events of the turf
world here and abroad, overturnine
and. injuring their private business
and their safe functions, but they may
be sacrificed to their rivals of outside
cities.
'If this ordinance We're to be adopted
the circulation of the San Francisco
Chicago and other newspapers in this
city would be absolutely prohibited, oil
else our home papers would suffer the
loss Of this sporting information in
favor of these foreign publications.
"The sporting pages of all newspa.
pers in the country carry this news
and it seems to me our home papers
should be allowed the same latitude
and freedom.
For these reasons I deem the or.
dinance an improper one and suggest
if another is to be drawn these drastic
features be eliminated"

ESTRANGED BY PRANK;
WED AFTER 20 YEARS
Words Said as Child Poured water
Down Back at Last Forgiven.
Joke: Sees Happy
Ending

CHICAGO, Feb. ga playful child,s
prank shattered the love dream OF MIL
ton L. Thackaberry and Miss Edna
Grace Ovitt twenty years ago, Dut all
has ended happily at last.
The couple were married at the nome
of Lea S. Ovitt, $500 Ellis avenue.
brother of the bride. The playful
ch:l1." now the mother of two children,
was present. Mr.. Thackaberry has been
a lawyer in Chicago since 1884. He has
offices in the Stock Exchange building
and lives at 623 Forty-first street
Twenty years ago his suit was pro-
crossing smoothly when he called one
iuckless night at the home of his flancee.
Her sister Gertrude, 10 years OH, IN
sisted on aiding in entertaining-so
goes the story as related by friends last
night.
Desperate at last Thackaberry, simu-
lating a consuming thirst, prevailed on
Gertrude to go for a glass of water.
When she returned and he had con-
scientiously slipped as much as he could,
he returned her the glass only half
emptied. His attention being distracted
momentarily, she slipped behind him
and carefully emptied the contents be-
tween his standing collar and his neck,
the result being sudden icy trickiing
down his spinal column, which caused
him to spring up with shrek of terror.
What he said to Gertrude is not re-
lated, but his outburst was sufficient to
cause his fiancee to declare they must
part forever And they did.
All of Thackaberry' pleadings were
unavailing then and subsequently. Oc-
casionally in the year following the
couple met, but after that, although
both continued to live in Chicago, they
met only three times until four weeks
ago.
AS time passed, Thackaberry sue
ceeded in sitting his regret, and at last
married another. Three sons were born
to aim. Miss Ovitt as her sisters mar
ried assumed more and more the care
of her parents and rejected all suitors
Seven years ago Thackaberry's wife
died. Still fate kept him away from
his first love. He was a regular at
teniant at Rev. Frank w. Gunsdulus
church however, and four weeks ago
Miss Ovitt chanced to be present at the
services. Thackaberry saw and greeted
her and insisted that she permit him to
resume his attentions. At first she
pleaded her duty to her parents. Then
she consented to wed, but inisted on
waiting until next June. Thackaberry,
however, was impatient. Finally he
prevailed.
The date for the ceremony was fixed
and DIR. Gunsaulus was asked to offici-
ate. Last night there gathered In the
home of the brides brother the imme-
diate relatives of the couple, most
prominent being the sister, now Mrs.
Gertrude Wing, whose practical joke
had made the affair the elimination OF
an unusual romance. The ceremony
was simple.
Afterward Mr.. and Mrs. Thackaperry
started on a tour of the south. They
will be at home ON their return at the
residence of the groom

Knocking Opponents Out and
Has Risen to the Top
in a Year

BOSTON, Feb. 26.-Bill Papke, the
western cyclone and present claimant
OF the mlddleweight championship ti-
Tie, is certainly making plenty of money
out of the fighting game. II success
sticks to him he ought to come very
near having a swell bankrou when he
retireS from the game
Bill hrst began fighting November
26, 1906. Since he has been a pro-
fessional pugilist he has made. s15.500
out of his battles, including the wagers
he won on himself.
The smallest amount Papke ever re-
ceived for boxing was $40 which he
got for engaging in a limited round
light with the Mexican Wonder. He
made short work of the Mexican Won
der, putting him out in four rounds.
This victory gave him confidence, and
he started out to make his living as
a pugilist
His next battle was with Red Nor
rissey. whom he put away in three
rounds. Since then Papke has been
going right along the line meeting all
the fighters that were willing to take
him on.
The largest amount which Papke has
drawn down out of a battle was $22S8.
He received this sum for the ten-round
fight with Hugo Kelly at Milwaukee,
which was declared draw, although
the majority of the spectators and
fight critics claimed that Bill should
have had the decision. II
His other fights have netted hiF
from 500 $1,000 for his end III
He has also had a few weeks thu
atrical engagement, for which he III
ceived $500 for each week. Besid8
these engagements he has also takeA
part in three exhibition knockouts
fought four draws and was awarded
the decision in four others.
Bill is at present at Hot Springs,
Ark. where he is taking a rest. He
intends to make a trip to Texas and
Mexico and then will return home to

waukee, under the auspices of the Mil
waukee Boxing club, on either March
16, II or Is. If successful in this fight
he will go to California, where he will

PRETTY GIRL USED BY
THIEVES AS THEIR DECOY
Calls InWood Man from His Home for
Gang to Beat and Rob Him.
Police Seeking
Her

MINEOLA. L. l., Feb. 26.-Sheriff
Gildersleeve and his deputies, as we'll
as the police of nearby towns, are
securing the neighborhood for some
trace of a pretty young woman who is
the decoy of a gang of holdup men.
They are also looking for a small boy
whom the gang employed early this
morning to entice William Pearsall, a
well-to-do real estate operator, from
his home in Inwood, not far from Far
Rockaway. The gang held him up and
robbed him of between $3.50 and 5000.
They left Pearsall senseless in the
yard of his home as a result of the
beating they administered to him.
When the real estate man revived he
crawled into his house and telephoned
to Under Sheriff Foster of Inwood, who
Immediately notified police headquar-

Mr.. Pearsall said over the telephone
that he had reached his home about
o'clock this morning. after returning
from a call, and was preparing for
bed, when he heard a loud knock
ing on his front door and the voice of
a boy calling: "Oh, mister, there's
a lady wants to see you"
Mr.. Pearsal went to the front door.
The boy was on the porch and stand
ing by the gate was young woman.

men sprang from behind some bushes.
One pointed a revolver at his head,
commanding him to be silent. Before
he could have spoken, had he wished
to do so, said Mr.. Pearsall, the other
two men threw themselves on him. One
grasped him by the throat.
Mr.. Pearsall was forced to the
ground he said, and choked almost to
insensibility, but at last managed to
struggle to his feet and tried to fight.
The woman ran then, and the boy fol-
lowed her. Mr.. Pearsall said he felt
a blow on the head then, and remem-
bered nothing more until he came to
his senses some time later. His

The Rockaway police arrested Frank

is not a relative of the robbed man.
Magistrate Gilroy discharged him
when he was arraigned in the court at
Far Rockaway. Under Sheriff Foster
rearrested him, however, and took him
to the Nassau county ji-l here, where
he was locked up. He refused to say
anything. There were $3S in his
pockets when he was arrested.
