JIMMY CLABBY IS BACK
Calls at Times Office to
Thank Paper For It's
Interest in Him.

Jimmy Clabby, Hammond's coming
welter-weight, is in Hammond for
week, the guest of his people here, and
stated to THE TIMES, whose offices he
visited this morning, that he would not
fight again until Jan. 2. when he meets
Paddy LAWN at Dayton Ohio. Jimmy
and his father, who was with him, are
both delighted at his prospects and are
very grateful to THE TIMES for the sup
port it has given him, the Fair Play"
barfiv Notwithstanding. The Times
Democrat of New Orleans in speaking
Of the Gardner fight, says:
THE Clabby-G Gardner fight was the
outcome of a fifteen round scrap by
the same men at the Across the River
club Nov. T. Gardner was given the
decision, greatly to the dissatisfaction
of the Clabby cohorts, and a return
match was arrangtd. Clabby excelled
at infightlng, used a wicked left to ad-
vantage, and sent home peculiar up
percut which almost invariably found
its resting place against Gardeners nose
or mouth. Gardner used the right to
kidneys, was a trife stronger than
Clabby, but the Hammond boxer was
the aggressor all the way through and
several times had the Lowell man
breaking ground. Twice the referee
warned Clabby about not breaking on
command, but to the spectators it ap-
peared that Gardner was leaning on
Clabby and holding his oponent's arm.
Gardeners seconds, especially his brother
George. kept up running fire through
out the mills of why don't you break
away, Clabby? Break, Clabby." And
all the time Gardner was doing the
stalling.
Crowd With CIabby.
"Clabby had the sympathy of the
crowd, and every blow he landed
brought cheers, but early in the contest
it became apparent that neither had
the punch to drop the other. Twice
Clabby was fought through the ropes
and once Gardner slipped IN a wild
rush. but that was the extent of the
damage. The only blood spilled came
when Gardner stepped inside of q

a large crowd If the weather is good,
for the rivalry between these two
teams is now so great that it will be
interesting to watch the contest.
The Hammond players are confident
that they can simply eat up the East
Chicago team if they get a chance, and
East Chicago is equally confident.
If the game results in a to 0 score
it is probable that the game will be
continued throughout the winter. until
one or the other of the teams proves
itsef the winner.
The game yesterday was played
through the first half, but in the Sec
ond half, Murphy of East Chicago, was
injured and the game was called off
until next Sunday.
The rain also made the playing OF
the game unpleasant for both the
players and spectators. and that was
an additional reason for calling off the
game until next Sunday.

Undoubtedly the disappointing finish
to the amateur careers of Poggenburg
and Gardner will prove a setback for
the sport, as they have long been at
the head of the National Association of
Billiard Players-the official amateur
organization. However the loss of
those two leaders and Conklin will not
prove such a blow as to knock out flu
ture tournaments, according to local
followers of the sport.

Seven hundred bright faced, happy,

exhibition given by Magician Greene
st the opera house Thanksgiving af-

They say the opera house holds

Magician Greene that day.
Every seat was filled from the back
seat in the gallery to the front seat
In the pit and about all the available
standing room was crowded.
And they enjoyed 1t all right. The
show was more than was promised
and delighted all with his many tricks
Of magic or slight-of-hand. The Great
Hermann may be more famous but to
the average audience Hermann and
Greene are about the same and no
one certainly was disappointed in Mr.
Greene's ability to deceive the eye
He was very good and many Of the
