CLABBY FIGHT ATTRACTS
LOTS OF ATTENTION FROM FANS

That there Is general as well as local
interest in the CIabby Morrow fight.
which Ia to be pulled off at Benton Efar-
Dor next Tuesday night, is shown by
the interest that is being taken IN Chi
cago.
Edward w Smith, in the Chicago
American. has the following to say
about the big fight In which the Ham
nond fighter is to be the star atrac-
ton
Even il the Mcfarland Thompson
battle has been sent into the air, local
fight fans will not suffer for some
thing to discuss outside OF the all

The cautious manner IN which tha

who handles the affairs of the young
Milwaukeean. who really is from Ham

his punching ability. 1t has been said
time and again that Morrow was

feeble response from the Cisbby camp
Finally they were matched for &
go several weeks back. but Clabby. who
had several good matches in sight in
the east, decided that he would prefer
to go to that section OF the country
Hence the affair with Morrow was call

his matches there and gave up the trip.
Immediately there YVES a renewal Of
war talk from Benton Harbor and OF

There was much pickering over the
weight. Morrow's manager starting out
at 1852 pounds and gradually scaling It
down until 145 pounds was reached.
Then the argument grew heated over

CIVIC LEAGUE Of GARY
MAKES ITS ENDORSEMENT

The Civic League OF Gary met last
night and made their endorsements for
all of the municipal offices OF the city
with the exception OF mayor. No
special reason was assigned for om-
hitting this ONCE from their list Of
endorsements. The republicans on the
whole got the best OF the deal, as all
of their candidates for alderman were
endorsed. while only two of the dem
ocratE, the candidates for councilmen-
at-large were given the official stamp
OF approval
The meeting last night was fairly
we'll attended in spite of the big re-
publican rally which kept some OF
them away
The platform and ticket named at
the meeting last night. IS as follows:
To the Voters OF Gary:
The Civic League of Gary was or
ganized for the purpose of promoting
by all legitimate means. good munich
pal government in Gary.
The league ignores. and will continue
TO ignore party politics. well knowing
that IN municipal matters. it is of no
consequence whatever to the majority
of citizens, whether the republican or
democratic parties are successful at the
polls The question that does vitality
concern every citizen, is whether we
are to have well governed city, and
this will depend upon whether the
men you elect will make honest and
competent officials With a view to
aiding you in making a wise selec-
tior. the Civic league has given con-
siderable attention to the character and
fitness of the various candidates. and
It's Recommendations are based solely
upon merit. without any regard to their
party afflliations.
With a view to safeguarding the
city's future. the league prepared a
platform which the candidates for
council were asked to sign. This plat
form is a fair and conservative sx-
! preston of public opinion OF today
upon the question OF franchise for pub
lie utilities. which question is the most
important one contained herein.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-10-30

The league cannot conceive that any
candidate for the Office OF council
man, who seeks your support at the
polls, ca nhave a valid reason for re-
fusing to define his attitude upon this
great public question.
The legaue is OF the opinion, judging
from certain straws indicates the di-
rection Of the wind, that certain fran
chise grants will be asked for IN the
near future
The league makes no recommended
ton of candidate for mayor The
question of endorsement for this of
fee was decided without reference to
the fitness Of present candidates, but
solely as a matter of policy.

hours that he will get between scales
and right will not help a great deal.
The men are betting $500 on the
side. the FIRST wagering battle we have
had in a long time. This amount Is
open to $500 side more II the manag-
ers of the men feel so inclined. For
feits of 5000 each are up with the Chi
caSo American to guarantee the weight
named as well as the appearance of
the men at the ringside prepared to do
battle, so there is likely 10 be no hitch
over the affair at all.
'Morrow's recent achievement in
knocking out Jack Drumgoole. the
Chicago Heights weltsdweight. in jig
time, has increased the respect In
which he has been held and doubtless
was what made the Clabby people ex-
tremely cautious in what they did with
the match At any rate, C1ab5y is
