STANTON IN FOURTH

BOSTON, Mass. January o2.-Bili
Papke of Spring Valley, ILL.,. who claims
the middle weight championship. defeated
Walter Stanton of San Francisco in four
rounds at the Armory Athletic Associa-
tioa here last night.
Stanton began in excellent form, and
throughout the first round landed heavy
rights and lefts on the body and face,
driving Papke from one end of the ring
to the other. The punishment, however,
did not seem to affect Papke, who ap-
peared to be sizing up his man.
In the second round Stanton started in
with rush and the round was practically
repetition of the first until near the
close, when Papke landed a hard left on
Stanton's Jaw. drawing blood.
In the third round Papke started in to
fight and soon had Stanton tired. Papke
used the 'loop-the-loop'' punch in clinches
with good effect, and Stanton was very
weak when the rOunu closed
In the fourth round 10th started fight
ing like whirlwinds. wrestling each other
20 the floor. In close infighting Papke
drove his man around the ring, and with
a heavy blow to the stomach hoored
Stanton for the count of nine. Stanton
came back and landed dozen hard blows
to the body, bui Papke was too strong
and with a succession of punches sent
Stanton down again.
StantOn's seconds threw the sponge into
the ring and the bout ended.

CAR CREW MEETS
ONE "KID" Mccoy

NEW YORK, January 22.-Lying prone
and senseless on the cold asphalt the mo-
torman and conductor of an uptown troll
ley car were yesterday the mute evidences
of the skill of Norman Selby, otherwise
Kid Mccoy
One had tried to assault Mr.. Selby
with wallop. the other with the brass
controller with which he made the car
go. Neither had achieved anything of
success. Mr.. Selby had taken the con-
troller away from the motorman before
handing him a pass to Sleepland and
he had then tossed the conductor on top OF
a house. The wallop of the conductor he
had brushed carelessly aside before toss
ing him a light punch of the corkscrew
variety.
Both lay side by side upon the asphalt,
while the passengers gathered around and
commented upon their condition. fattered
Mr. Selby and praised his earnest work
in a good cause. A worthy If small per-
son rescued by Mr.. Selby from the con-
ductor was with difficulty restrained from
dancing upon the features of his pros
trate enemy.
The Kid had dropped in casually upon
an emeute between a conductor and a
passenger. He was driving his new car
up Lenox avenue and was just passing
l35th street when he noted the con-
ductor of a crosstown car on that street
engaged in passing out an assortment OF

Hitte refused to go out, but was de-

city, and after four rounds had been
fought, which were all to Hitte's ad-

The tip was given in time and the fight

an hour and a half's intermission the
principals and spectators got together
again and the fight was resumed.
Hitte had Blackburn hanging on to
save himself in the seventh round, and
his hard wallopS told in the next few
rounds, but Blackburn was too clever
to be put out. In the twelfth round the
tide of battle turned, Blackburn getting
right under the heart from which Hitte
never fully recovered.
In the fourteenth round Blackburn used

YALE-HARVARD IN
MEET WITH BRITONS

NEW HAVEN. January 22-An all
American college team to meet an all
English college team is not looked on
with favor at Yale. because the followers
of track sports think that any move for
the formation of such a team would be
fruitless.
The Yale men think the English track
men would not go into meet with rep
resentatives from many OF the small col
leges throughout the United States.
What Yale men believe the English track
men want and what from private cor
respondence, appears to be almost a GER
taii.ty, is dual meet with Yale and Har-
ward. The only English universities to
have men on the team would be Ok
ford and Cambridge. Yale and Harvard
and Cambridge and think they could win
everything except the distance runs.
Yale's greatest strength would not be
tested, that of pole vaulting. where she
has the present national champion. Wal
ter Dray, captain of the track team and
the former champion. A. c. Gilbert. A
pole vault is not one of the events in an
international meet
From the Yale point of view the Har-
vard-Yale team would be made up In the
following way:
1C0-yard dash-Butler OF Yale and
Dodge of Harvard
4tO yards-Merrihew of Harvard and
Deselden of Harvard
500 yards-Tilson of Yale and Watson
of Harvard.
Mile-Haddon of Harvard and Splitter
of Yale.
Three mile-Crosby of Harvard and
Dole of Harvard.
12O-yard hurdles-Rand of Harvard and
Howe of Yale.
Hammer throw-Cooney and Andrus of
Yale.
High. jump-Harwood and somers Of
Harvard.
Broad jump-Davis of Yale and Little of
Harvard.
Capt. Walter Dray says in regard to a
dual meet with Oxford and Cambridge
yale would be very glad to join with
Harvard in sending a team to meet the
two great English universities. No open
negotiations have been entered upon and
we have neither received nor sent chal-
enge. I understand that indirect neso-
tiations have been entered upon. The
movement grows out of the one started
last year of having a meet at the Harvard
stadium. When negotiations were begun
it was too late in the season for the Amer
lean colleges to form a team"

The conductor saw him coming and

Truculently the motormap ieaped from
the front platform and ran to the assist

THE WOMAN AyENGER.
t Is Going We'll With Her in the
 Courts.

IL is going well with the woman avenger in the courts. Mrs. Angelina Ansoine, of Chicago, who killed an Italian because, as she testified, he had slandered her. was acquitted the other day upon a second trial Not long ago Mrs. Bradley was acquitted in Wash ington where she killed a man who had grown weary of her. In Missis- sippi last year a woman was pardoned after having been convicted by jury of having killed a member of congress who. as she averred, had spoken slan- derously of her Mrs. Dora McDonald of Chicago. who killed Webster Guerin because, as she alleges, he had attempt cd to blackmail her, is now upon trial She will not plead insanity-a little re- spcct Is due tho defendant and her att torneNs for that--but will rely upon the unwrltten law. She will no doubt be acquitted, She is described as q rather hand some woman In criminal trials in which the defendant is fair T jury IS as sentimental as q young swain under the influence of the har- vest moon.
 If tlle testimony of Mrs. Ansolinc was absolutely true. the man she killed surely deserved his punishment He had played Iago and Othellc, instead of killing Desdemona had deserted her.
