PAPKE 0UTP0|NTS
LEWIS IN 6 ROUNDS
Illinois ThunderboIt Gives
New Yorker a Severe
Beating.

PITTSBURG, October 9-"Billy' Papke,
the Illinois "thunderbolt," gave Willie
Lewis, the pride Of New Yorks East Side.
a setback in the six-round bout they
fought in the National Athletic Club here
last night.
While the decision goes to Papke, his
work did not earn much in the way of
reputation. He was very, very slow and
wild at times, and If he showed speed he
could have sent Willie to the woods.
But that boy Lewis is no slOb, and he
can take a lot of punishment. He showed
the same astonishing comeback tactics
that he has displayed on many occasions,
and clearly was surprise to the man
from Kewanee.
Some wise Pittsburger thought it was
a stall, because nobody was carried out
dead. The Pittsburg sport is a queer
genius He has little regard for a man
who doesn't lie down when he gets
punch. If he comes back the Pitts
burger hollers fake.
Agreed to Break Clean.
They agreed to break clean, but at
the very start Papke began to hit in
the getaways. Lewis rushed right in
to get the first wallop, and they mixed
it up at short range. Papke did SO well
at this work that he got the honors of
the round.
In the second Papke hit foul at least
three times He landed on Willie with
a right hook, sending him to the floor.
Willie took a rest and came back with
surprising speed and strength. 1t was
fine exhibition by two game and clever
men.
In the third Willie got ia left and right
to the jaw and went to the floor again.
He fought 1t out gamely. but just be-
fore the bell wasSagain on the floor. 1t
looked bad for Willie at this point.
Papke tried hard to put the sleeper in
when they met in the fourth. Lewis
was there, and woke up Papke with a
left to the ribs and a right on the jaw
that gave the New Yorker a shade in the
round.
Papke Looked Worried.
Papke, who had a confident smile In
the earlier sessions, took on a serious
look in the fifth round. Lewis began to
outlook and outmaneuver Papke, and
had all the best of the session at the
bell
The sixth showed a hard struggle by
both men to land finisher, and in the
scrimmage that resulted neither was able
to do any hard work. Lewis out-gen-

they were exchanging light body punches.
The big Duquesne Garden was the
scene of the bout. The crowd, which
had raved itself into ecstasies over the
ball game in the afternoon, still filled
the streets when the doors of the building
were thrown open At night. A gorgeous
republican parade helped to keep the ex-
element alive. There were lots of red
fire and red. white and blue uniforms and
a marching club that wears capes and
high h0f1erS md carries HACK and ve11ovD
striped umbrellas So the crowd was
slow in making its way in. When the
main bout was started there were about
5000 persons in the house.
Lewis weighed about ISL pounds. and
Papke had about twelve pounds the better
of 1t. The betting was in favor of Papke,
but there was not much money flashing.
Willie's remarkable series of victories had
made him rather uncertain quantity,

Boys Body Shipped to Liverpool in
Bale of Cotton.

News from Liverpool that the body
of boy baby was found in bale OF
TeXas-grown cotton unearths the
mysterious disappearance of a 23-
months-old son of George Haitman,
farmer Of Gillespie County, Texas,
about six months ago.
1t is believed the body is that If

killed in a gin and the frail body
crushed into a bale of cotton which
was exported and found its way to
the Liverpool cotton mills. The de-
scription answers that of the child.

by drowning in river.
Late in November the father car
ried a wagon load of cotton to gin
in a small town in Gillespie County,
and the baby son accompanied him.
The child was missed, but the father
thought some of his friends had the
boy in charge. The search was kept
up for many weeks and reward of
fered, but no trace of the body was
found. Evidently the tot got into
one of the cotton presses and was
killed and baled in the cotton. The

Atlanta, May 25.-How less thar
one hundred striking Georgia Rail
road firemen were able TO stop prac'
tically all train service In territory
10 miles long and % to 100 miles
wide was the knotty problem into
which United States Commissioner OF
Labor, Charles p. Neill, plunged i'm.
mediately after his arrival here to-
night. AS a representative Of the
National Board of Meditation he
faced first the race problem, the force
behind the strike; second, an an
nounced wish of many persons in this
section to have Georgians settle this
question by arbitration. and third.
the necessity Of moving the United
States mail Immediately. Within
two hours after his arrival Mr.. Nell
was in private conference with Gen
eral Manager Scott of the Georgia
Railroad, with no intimation as to
when the negotiations might bring
results.
What a remarkable feat this hand
full of union firemen accomplished
and what power was behind them be-
came apparent to-day when a consid-
cradle section of the State was COM
PEELED to rely on automobiles for pas
senger mail and express service and
when the transportation of such ne
cessities of life. such as food. drop
ped back to the method of a former
degree of civilization, namely, to wa
CONS and even pack animals.
The four-score firemen alone did
not alone produce this situation. 1t
was the communities which the rail-
road served that stopped every wheel
of the system during the past three
days; not the officials Of these COM
munities, but a few men who are said
to have fighting blood in their veins,
who came forward and announced
that negro firemen should not be
given seniority over white firemen.
From some hidden source of public
opinion these men have up to now
made good this racial ultimatum.
