GETS DECISION
OVER CLARENCE ENGLISH

Before crowd that was estimated to
be not more than 300 strong. Jack
Drumgool Of Chicago Heights was last
night given the decision. on foul in
the fourth round, over Clarence English
of Chicago before the Columbia Ath-
letic club of West Hammond.
AS usual, the bouts were good but
the management was so poor that the
patience of the crowd was tried to the
last extremity through numerous de-
lays, which prevented the fights from
beginning until after $50. when they
were scheduled to begin at s o'clock
sharp.
There were also tiresome delays be-
tween rounds which made the whole
entertainment a bore. The Chicago
delegation, particularly. was very much
put out at the delay, and as the fight
was not over until after II o'clock it
was late before the Chicago fans got
back to their homes
The main bout promised to be inter
esting at the start. Jack Drumgool
put up a good fight and seemed to be
the equal of English in the opening
rounds. Both of the men are alleged
to have struck low, however. and it is

Hogan Gives Decision.
Referee Malachy Hogan turned him
over and then raised his hand as a
sign that he gave the PROSTATE man
the decision on a foul. There was con-
siderable confusion and some protests,
but the decision was unalterable.
The promises of a big crowd did not
materialize, and it is evident that the
fact that the management of these af-
fairs has always been bad has been
noised about until the outsiders refuse
to be ensnared again.
In the semi windup, between Matt

BAN IS LIFTED
OFF WABASH
Little Giants" Will Meet
Minnesota at C'ville on
Friday.

Charlottesville, Ind, May 2o-Is the
ban to be lifted permanently by the
members of the Big Eight" off the
shoulders of the athletic teams repre-
senting Wabash college? The question
is being asked on all sides since Gradu
ate Manager Harry Eller sprung a sur
prise by announcing that a game had
been scheduled with the Minnesota uni
versity aggregation of diamond stars,
to be played here Friday afternoon.
1t has been the opinion for two years
that a big Eight team was not al
lowed to play Wabash, and this prac-
ticany has been the answer that Man
ager Eller has received from members
Of the Indiana Big Eight" when en-
deavoring to arrange contests with
them.
1t Is thought that the announcement
that Minnesota has scheduled with Wa
bash viii also be a surprise to Indiana
and Purdue universities, but the game
has been booked largely as the result
of an opinion by Coach Stage of Chi
cago, that any member of the confer
ence can legitimately play the scarlet
if they desire, even though freshmen
are ustd in the Wabash lineup. From
this it looks as If several of the big
Eight" schools have hidden behind the
conference rulings as a pretext, in or
der to escape humiliation of a defeat
at the hands of a much smaller insti-
tuition.
Action was taken against the local
institution by Purdue and Indiana uni
versities two years ago following a vic
torious campaign made by the Little

they stated that Wabash must abide
