Well it may be that I will meet him.

TROUBLE OVER FIGHTING GAME
HAS BEEN AM|CABLY SETTLED

Trouble that for a time threatened
to put an end to the appearances of
Jimmy Clabby in West Hammond have
been satisfactorily settled, and every
thing is lovely again.
The trouble came about through the
action of Clabby in demanding that
Billy Moorhead be paid more than the
winners share OF $50 for appearing in
the semi windup last Wednesday even
ing.
1t seems that the management OF the
Columbia Athletic club in West Ham
mond offered to give the winner of the
semi windup so per cent of $50 If the
house was only an ordinary one. and
so per cent Of SIS If the house was a
good one.
The house last Wednesday. accord
ing to the management, was only fair
and so Moorhead was given only S21
CIabby has been training with Moor
head and he thought his friend should
have been paid more than that for the
splendid exhibition he put on.
No Money in Game.
The management claimed that they
could make no money out of the house
when they had to pay the fighters tn,
big amounts they were compelled t.
pay to land the best attractions.
For a time the Clabby- AIoorhea,
camp threatened to cause trouble, bu
the matter was finally Strengthened VI
all around without any difficulty. an
now everything is lovely and the COOS
hangs high.
1t is understood that there will b
one more bout in West Hammond be
fore the coming election. This will b
the go between Carl Anderson and Tir
O'Neil. The fans are looking forwar
to this fight and think it will be a goo
one.
One of the most interesting bits o
news that comes from the officers o
the Columbia Athletic club is that tn
organization expects to build fin
clubhouse in West Hammond in tn
near future.
New Clubhouse Possible.
The clubhouse will be available I

FIRST SCALP FOR SOx
COmiskey's Box Recruits
Fast for Seals in Open
ing Frisco Game.

San Francisco. March 6.-Comiskey's
White Sox opened their exhibition sea
son here yesterday afternoon by beat
ing the San Francisco team of the Pa
cific Coast league by the score Of 8
to 2. The contest dragged a bit at the
outset on account of the pitchers hav-
ing the batsmen too completely under
control. But the Sox got going and
toward the finish were warming things
up at a great rate
There was a generous outpouring of
San Francisco fans to witness the first
game of the year and they saw some
clever work on both sides despite the
fact that the big leaguers dented the
error column twice and the home play
ers contributed five misplays.
Acting Manager Sullivan sent his
three youngest pitchers, Scott. Sutor
and Spencer against the Seals as they
were in better shape than any Of the
others. 1t needed good twirling to
hold down the Frisco layers, for they
had good pitching to help them. only
seven hits being made by Chicago to
three for the locals.
Scott did the best work on the slab
He refused the locals a hit during the
four innings he worked He showed
some fine speed and curve which
broke very fast Scott was a BIT wilc
and walked three men, while Sutor wa:
much worse, passing four besides hit.
| ting another in three innings. Blu
Sutor, despite his wildness, did some
good fielding tricks which stamp hin
as a cool and clever young pitcher. H,
covered the pitchers position excep
tionally well. forcing one runner a
third on bunt and another at the plat,
when the sacks were full and only on,
out.
Spencer was touched up for two runs
He gave two bases on balls in tn
eighth and they were mixed up witt
ten hard wallops, a pair of tallies re
sulting. Spencer's wildness brough
the total of passes up to ten.
