ZIRINGER GETS DRAW
WITH P. M'GOYERN
PittSburg Fans Pleased With
Work of New York
Fighter.

PITTSBURG. Pa. Dec. 1S.-Phl Nc
Govern and Young Ziringer fought six
rounds Of as fast ring work as has been
seen in Pittsburg in years last evening.
The arena Of the National Sporting
Club was filed with those anxious to
see the brother OF the famous Terry
McGovern" go and the little fellow did
not disapDoint them, for this work was
clean and rapid.
McGovern, who announced before he
went into the ring that he was after a
mill with Johnny COulon, and that he
wanted TO make this tight decisive.
hammered Ziringer about the ring at
will for the first four rounds, but in the
fourth Ziringer came back and for three
minutes gave McGovern all he could do
and forced him time and again to break
ground to avoid fierce rushing and hard
blows.
Several times Ziringer landed hard
enough to rock the head of McGovern
and once the ropes saved McCovern
from d Touchdown The sixth round
was practically even.

PLEA OF MACFARLAND
Commissioner Tells Senate Committee Why Date Should
Be Shifted From March Fourth to Last Thurs
day in Following Month.

Commissioner Macfarland appeared
before the Senate Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections today and made a
strong showing in favor of the proposed
change Of Inauguration Day from March
to the last Thursday in April
Mr. Macfarlands remarks were well
received by the committee and seemed
TO make a favorable impression and It
will not be surprising IL later on fav-
orable report is made to the Senate for
a change in the Inaugural ton date.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the
committee, and half OF the other mem
bers were present. Mr.. Macfarland ap-
peared as chairman Of the national
committee on the proposed change Of
the Inauguration date which consists of
twenty-one citizens Of washington and
forty-eight governors Of States and Ter
ritOries. The change of date which Mr.
mcfarland advises is IN accordance
with a resolution which has been intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Depew
and in the House by Representative
James Of Kentucky.
Discusses Weather.
In interesting fashion Mr.. Macfarland
first took up the weather conditions Of
past inaugurals. He told what the con-
diuons were on each occasion, and
enumerated some Of the deaths OF dis
tingUished men, which have resulted
from such inclement weather. He as
serted thai President William Henry
Harrison lost his life as the result OF
exposure when he was inaugurr- I'd ana
he mentioned a number Of other promi-
nent men whose deaths had resulted
from exposure when they attended in
augural ceremonies.
Mr.. mcfarland emphasized the idea
that people OF the United States who
elect a President are entitled TO come
70 Washington and witness the iuau-
gural ceremonies I'm comfort.
