Fond du Lac, Wis. Oct 9.-After
eight round of fast fighting, Eddie Nc

cision over Jack Redmond of Chicago
here tonight. The go was slam bang

was good draw. with McGoorty doing
the leading and Redmond displaying
great cleverness in keeping out of the
way. McGoorty took matters up to
the seventh, when he opened and had
the Chicago pug in distress in both
seventh and eight sessions. Especially
in the final round was Redmond in a
bad way, only his gameness pulling
him through. Redmond took severe
punishment. clinging to his assailant
and at times stopping vicious lefts and
rights No effort was made by Cover
nor Davidson to stop the fight and the
local authorities were in full cogni-
zance of it.

BATTLE ON The TURF
Danny Goodman Knocks
Out T. Mowatt in Sixth
Round of Hard Fight.

Days of the old-time finish fights
were recalled yesterday when Danny
Goodman knocked out Tommy Mowatt
in the sixth round of a desperate bat
tie on the turf and in the open air just
across the road from Leavitt Park, on
the southwestern limits of the city.
After being driven from a hall near
Willow Grove by a deputy sheriff, who
scented a battle, old-fashioned
cross-country march was held until
secluded spot was reached. The men
then stripped and went at 1t.
Gloves were used, but in all other re-
spects the arrangements recalled for
mer bare knuckle fights, one of which,
that between Billy Stiff and Con Doyle
was held on the perry spot where the
men met yesterday.
About eighty-five spectators had
gathered at the hall to witness the
bout. which was supposed to be in pri-
vate When the deputy appeared and
cahed a halt the men were just about
to step into the ring. Thereupon an
exodus commenced. and about fifty
idlers poined the crowd as it crossed
the road and strung out across the
! prairie to a secluded point near the
county road.
An impromptu ring was formed with
piece of rope attached to saplins and
held at one corner by one of the spec
tators. The boys had weighed at the
hall, and there was no delay. For FIVE
rounds honors were nearly even, then

sent right to the jaw, which ended

Mowatt recovered shortly. The
crowd commenced to scatter as soon as
the count of ten was pronounced, ev-
identity fearing some action by the
authorities.

When Governor Davidson of Wis

Badger state in an edict notifying the
sheriffs in every county of the state
to prevent any and all ring contests,
he gave the Queensberry game its fin
ish blow as far as the Middle West is
concerned. There is not a place left
in this section of the country where a
bout Of any Importance can be staged
The east is not so badly off. 1t has
Boston for twelve round bouts, New
York and Philadelphia and Baltimore
for six round engagements, and some
smaller cities in New York and Penn
sylvania. Because of the limited dis
lance to the fight put on the east it is
impossible to get championship at
fractions, as most of the champions
refuse to risk their titles over sprint

Wisconsin leaves California the only

MARK TWAIN on MONEY.
Humorist Points Out What He Consld-
srs Some Wrong Conceptions.

Mark Twain said that the financial
panic has caused a wrong idea Of the
use and value of money.
"The spendthrift says that money,
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that, being fiat, it was
made to stack up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong, too, in their ideas
about money are the veteran Aus
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps a
half million or more, live in the SIM
pie dug-outs and shanties Of their lean
early days.
"Once, leoturing, landed at an Aus
tralian port. There was no porter in
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a
rough-looking old fellow leaning
against post with his hands in his
pockets, I beckoned to him and said:

Umpire Silk O'Loughlin made a
ruling in recent game at Detroit be-

the rubber ready to deliver the ball to
the plate. AS soon as Pat started in
Payne ran up in front of Davis and
caught the ball, preventing George
taking swing at it. Fielder Jones
declared he had been interfered with,
but O'Loughlin's ruling was that as
long as Siever had not started to
wind up his delivery he had a right to
throw the ball to the plate to stop a
runner, the same as he had to throw
to first or any other base.

scribes a fair ball as any ball deliv-
