OYSTER BAYS BIG NIGHT
Whole Town Turns Out TO Say Fare
well to Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, March 1s.-President
roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt were
the guests of the town of Oyster Bay
at reception held here in their hon.
or in the town hall. From $3.50 till
1890 p. m. the ex-President and Mrs
Roosevelt stood in the town clerks
office and the towns people filed by,
shaking hands and extending farewell
greetings. 1t was a great night for
oyster Bay. Many of the townspeople
had not seem Col. Roosevelt since he
returned here among them to become
a private citizen of the privatest kind.
They had prepared a rousing well
come for him on the night of his re-
turn from the national capital, but his
train did not reach here until half
past one in the morning; by that time
three-fourths of those who had come
to welcome him had returned to their
homes. So many of the villagers COM
bined their greetings of welcome home
with wishes of farewell At each of
the churches Lenten services had been
held during the evening and at their
conclusion the people hurried to the
town hall, eager to pay their respects.
Notwithstanding the announcement
that the reception was to be given for
Oyster Bay residents only, many other
persons came to the village to attend.
These finally secured admission to the
town hall and shook hands with Mr..
and Mrs. Roosevelt. Among them
were a number who had known Mr..
Roosevelt for many years and who
felt that they were entitled to join
his neighbors in the demonstration of
friendship and good will.
For every one the ex-president had
hearty greeting and with many he
chatted pleasantly for minute or
more.
He was especially pleased at the
presence of many children.

ICES the Maps leader. He is calm and
never appears ratified, making hard
plays look easy.
Griggs' hitting attracts the most at
tention. He meets the ball about as
hard as any man in the game.
Griggs stands like Williams at the
plate. In the Texas League he was
noted as a slugger, having doubles, u
triples and IL home runs.
He holds the record for the longest
hit made in the Dallas park, and as the
grounds are large, it was quite a rap,
the ball going over the center field
fence.
He is stocky built and would strike
one as being a catcher.
Griggs caught several games last sea-
son, when his teams receivers were in
.capacitated. His appearance is indeed
favorable. The Texan has a pair Of
shoulders and a chest that any athlete
might be proud of.
Griggs is but Z5 years old, weighs $50
pounds, all solid, not an ounce of super
f1uous weight. He played left halfback
for the Western University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1905, before entering profess
sionaI baseball. He Joined the Texas
League two years ago. He was with
San Antonio last season.

Cans Gets Decision Over White
in Ten Round Go.
The EngIishman Was Entirely
0utclassed by Negro.
NOT IN OLD TIME FORM
The Victor Beginning to Show
Effects of His Age.
White Hurt His Arm and
Changed Tactics.
SUNDAY.

National Athletic club, New York,
March 12.-Joe Cans, former light
weight champion of the world, easily
defeated Jabez White, the English
lightweight champion in a ten round
bout at the National A. G. last night
1t was a tame exhibition and the big
crowd was disappointed as the men
were slow and lacked force behind
many of their blows. White used his
left cleverly in the first two rounds,
but in the third he changed his tao
tics relying mainly on his right. Two
rounds later the cause of this shift
was apparent. White had broken his
left arm some time ago in England
and he hurt 1t early in the third round
last night.
White was knocked down once in
the sixth, twice in the seventh, when
the bell saved him by one second, and
once in the eighth.
CANS was far from being the Cans
of even two years ago, missing sever
al blows, misjudging distance and fall
ing to take advantage OF opportun1-
ties.
Honors were even in the first round,
each man landing hard, but ineffective
blows. Repeated lefts to the stomach
gave White a good margin in the sec
ond and in the third round the Eng
lishman forced the "old master" with
rights and lefts to the same spot, but
the negro came back gamely and it
was nOQOQyS w nIlO ndo the
negro in distress at the snd of the
fourth, varying his body attack with
two left swings to the jaw In the
fifth the negro apparently got his sec

force at this stage.
Cans was slow in the early part of
the sixth, but his opponent had evil

fioored twice, once by right to the

for a count of eight.
Whites seconds worked frantically
over him during the intermission, but
White came up weak for the seventh.
The EngIishman's left arm seemed

The ninth was a very tame round in
Gans's favor. In the tenth the negro

the round. to be stopped by a right to
the head. White swung again to the
head and ripped it into the wind and
they were sparring at the bell.

Erne declares that he should not have
received worse than draw with Welsh
in their battle at New Orleans, and
agree with this statement. One reason
Erne is eager to again box Welsh is
that the latter agreed to weigh in for
the setto and then raised trouble over
the question. Erne said:
"I don't think that Welsh weighed
in. If he did so didn't see it done and
had to take the word of others for
it. I am confident that 1 can defeat
Welsh. I am willing to let the money
go as part of a $1,000 side bet for a
fight with him for anywhere from 20
rounds to a finish. I will meet him
weigh in the lightweight limit, 1873
pounds. He can weigh in any time from
6 p. on the day of the fight until
ringside.
From this time on I propose to be
my own manager. Mr.. Mccartney and
I have parted"

FUGITIVE TRAPPED YSNEEzE
Alleged Thief Hides Under Barrel,
but Presence Is Discovered.

Chicago. Sept. 14.-Betrayed by a
sneeze, Grant Cornell was arrested in
an alley at the rear of S31 Main street,
Evanston, charged with stealing from
the James Motor Express company
by which he was employed.
Policeman John Keane called at the
house where Cornell roomed at S31
Chicago avenue, Evanston, early in
the afternoon and the latter fed to the
alley. The policeman followed, but
Cornell had darted out of sight. Just
as Keane was about to depart from the
alley and search elsewhere he heard a
sneeze come from what appeared to
be an empty. overturned ash barrel
He investigated and found Cornell
fitting on the ground with the barrel
placed over him.
