Fear Reign of Oral Betting

gambling was to be stopped in Jeffer-

Marrero brothers. sheriff and district
attorney of the parish, all the gambling
houses at Southport and Gretna were

The matter of the betting system

attracting the greatest attention here.
and strong efforts are being made to
stop wagering at the course. The
system is criticised vigorously.
Governor Sanders is in New Orleans.

wiser heads say that If the oral bet

the Locke law City Park would start

mind the fate of those who started it
some time ago and who were found
guilty of violation.

COAST CLUBS AFTER
The L|GHTWE|GHTS

Los Angeles, Jan. 1s.-The latest de-
velopments in the lightweight situa-
ton are as follows
Manager T. .McCarey of the Pacific
Athletic club tonight offered Welsh and
Mcfarland so per cent of the gross re-
ceipts for a ten round no decision bout
Baron Long. representing the Jeffries
Athletic club telegraphed to Champion
Battling Nelson at Hegewisch asking
the Dane to name his best terms for
a Nelson Welsh battle.
Freddie Welsh, by his unlocked for
posting of $1,000 to bind match with
Nelson, has pulled off one of the
shrewdest tricks of the year.
But Packey Mcfarland did not allow
Welsh to hold the lead long, for his
check for $1,000 now rests side by side
with the Welsh check for the same
amount. Harry Gilmore Jr., speaking
for Mcfarland, said:
we pulled off this same stunt a
few months ago, but we didn't claim
the championship. One thing is sure,
if the Dane does accept Welsh's chal-
lenge, it will look to the world as
though the Battler considers McFar-
land too tough a game and is taking
on the Englishman in preference TO
risking his title with Packey."
Gilmore was asked: DO you mean
to say that you are still willing to send
Mcfarland against Nelson at the light
weight limit. 1873 pounds ringside?'
I McFarland's manager hesitated q
few seconds and then said:
I don't want to go on record right
now in connection with that question
This is a problem which | viii work
/ out later on l will name as a com
promise weight for Welsh, 1913 pounds
at 6 o'clock. This is positively the best
! figure that we will make for the Brit.
Usher. Ny check for $1,000 is UP now
so far as challenging Nelson is con-
! cerned."

KNOCK OUT WAS CLEAN

Arkansas Gazette Tells of
Anderson's Recent
Fight.
FINAL BLOW IN 4TH ROUND
Local Boy Was Much Cooler Than
His Opponent, Joe Savage

Ing is the story of the fight:
in the fourth round of fast-fought
contest. Carl Anderson of Chicago
knocked out Joe Savage. abort Logan
fighter. by a straight right to the jaw
last night, at the Capital theater.
The contest throughout was char
acterized by the rushing tactics Of Saw
age. which gradually changtd to the
defensive as the mettle of his antag-
onist was tested and found right Not
a drop of blood was shed in the con-
test, and FIVE minutes after the knock
out blow Savage seemed to be IN the
best of condition.
THE two men weighed in at
o'clock at 15S pounds. Both appeared
to be in excellent condition, but the
local man was easily the favorite of
the good-natured crowd. Savage APP
peared to be somewhat nervous, which
condition grew on him when Anderson
failed to put in his appearance in the
ring until a tiresome walt that lasted
fully fifteen minutes.
Was a Clean Knockout.
THE first round was all Savage'a
and at times he appeared to have And
erson worried. Again and again he
rushed in and landed heavy rights and
lefts on the face and body of the Chi
cago boy. The work of Savage in the
first and second rounds was fast and
confident. but in the third and fourth
he appeared to realize that his only
hope was to finish the fight as soon as
possible, and went In for that purpose.
In the fourth round Savage APP
peared to realize that he had no chance
with his cooler antagonist. and half
groggy with the effect of the blows
that Anderson rained on his body and
jaw, attempted to cover. The tenn
porary cessation in the fighting gave
Anderson the chance he was waiting
for. He braced himself and as Savage
Strengthened swung his right to the
| jaw and Savage went down fiat on his
back.
The knockout was ciean-cut and Saw
age remained without moving until
Referee Miller counted ten that gave
the fight to Anderson. AS soon as he
was declared the winner Anderson
went to Savage and assisted him 70
rise. Savage was carried to his cor
ner where he rested for a few min
utes, then walked to his dressing room
unassisted."

OUT WITH WARM ONE
Calls Packey an Infant and
Is Getting Walloping
Ready for Him.
.REGEWISCH MAN AGAIN ON ROAD
Declares That Packey Doesn't Pay
His Bills and Can't Stand
For That.

Battling Nelson. lightweight cham
pion and a member of THE TINES
sporting staff. says he thinks he'll wait
thirty days. let Freddie Welsh claim
the lightweight championship, then go
out and whip him, and that he won't
fight Mcfarland because Packey is an
infant
What Battling has to say about the
two men who are bounding him for
match will take their breath away
when they hear it. 1t should shake
Welsh's confidence and infame McFar-
land with anger. Nelson talks con-
temptibly, sneeringly, slightingly, dis
paragingly and in several other SINH
lar ways of Welsh and Mcfarland.
When asked what he intended to do
in regard to the move taken by Welsh
in posting $1,000 with the announce
ed intention that if Nelson did not give
him a match within thirty days he
(Welsh) would claim the champion
ship the Battler, after moments
thought, burst forth with the follow
ing statement:
Il just think I'll wait thirty days, let
that guy Welsh claim the champion
ship and then go out and give him a
fine licking"
viii you really fight welsh?" he
was asked.
Sure. I'll fight him"
VIII you whip him?'
You bet I'll whip him."
We'll, how about Mcfarland? He
also has posted $1,000? Will you let
him claim the championship? sug-
gested his questioner.
I'll let him claim nothing" shouted
the Dane. Il don't care to fight chill
dren. I introduced him to the Tween
tieth century Clipping Bureau people
He got into them for $50 or so and

BOW LING
9 NOTES 9

The Hammond Masonic bowling team
which will meet and contest with the
Whiting Masonic bowling team, will
be selected at the Masonic alleys to-
night at o'clock. 1t is important that
all of the members of the team and
those who would like to offer their
services on this occasion to be present
at the alleys promptly at 7 o'clock to
get little workout before the contest.
Those who have been suggested for the
team so far are Newell, Rose, DR.. Child
law, DR.. Oberlin and Fowler It is
possible that the lineup may be
changed before the contest. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be a large num-
Der of Masons present tonight and the
contest is sure to be interesting 1t is
reported that the Whiting aggregation
will bring over it's band for the oc-
casion.
The bowling team representing the
Hammond University club. has chal-
lenged the one representing the Ham
mond Athletic club for game some
time the latter part of this week or
the first part of next week. There are
good bowlers in both teams and 1t is
expected IUdl one OF the pest contests
of the season will be the result of the
clash. 1t is believed that the university
club team can average close to 1870.
and it is know that the Hammond
Athletic club has a good team. This
game would probably be as good a
drawing card as could be billed.
| The Hammond doctors still have an
/ idea that they can humiliate the Uni
versity club bowling team. They have
been throwing out insinuations to that
effect for some time. The University
club members say that whenever the
doctors are ready to make good
loyster supper the penalty for defeat
they will be ready to try conclusions.
The Indiana Harbor bowling team
met its waterloo in Hammond last
evening when the Bradfords defeated
them decisively. In fact, in the five

The game was for blood from start

highest average, and Rats of Indiana
Harbor had the highest average for
his team. The following is the score
of the game, which decides the cham
pionship between the two cities:

referred to the committee on cities and
towns instead of the committee on
morals. Announcement that the bill
was to be introduced brought forth
many ministers, who will attempt to
defeat it in the senate. Similar bills

He is instructed to arrange the game

bowl than eat there is probably a good
game in prospect.
