McGOORTY is A CONFER
Is Given High Praise for Showing
Against HUGO Kelly,


TO decide against either of the prin-
cipals in last nights wind-up before
the Badger Athletic club at the Audi
forum, says the Evening Wisconsin
would be an injustice to the other
man, and for that reason the contest
locks like an even thing, and had a
decision been allowed, il is doubtful If
Harold Stout would have decided
otherwise. Eddie McGoorty, the Osh-
kosh lad, offset Hugo Kelly's clever
ness and ring generalship with
straight clean and hard punches. and
was the aggressor and when the Chi
cagoan showed a desire to mix Eddie
was right there to help him do it.
However is was apparent that Nc
Goorty lacked the ring generalship of
the veteran Kelly. That McGoorty
has improved wonderfully since his
last appearance i'm Milwaukee about
three years ago. was demonstrated bv
him last night, for it is not an easy
matter To pit his ruggedness and de-
sire to mix against a man of Kelly's
type and experience. Eddies green
ness" of the finer points of the boxing
game were not noticeable last night.
He seemed to Zoe new man and one
who will be right up among the hest
middle weights i'm the country with a
little more experience. He had a cool
head throughout the fight and did not
let Kelly battle him with his clever
ness and feinting. McGoorty was best
at longe range and at inhghting he
held his own.

CAN'T GET RID OF DOG.

City Clerk A. f. Macdonald is in the
same position as that of the man in
the funny papers who was adopted by
a dog, and couldn't get rid of 1t. A
few days ago a forlorn looking little
black dog followed Mr.. Macdonald's
daughter to the Macdonald residence in
East Hancock. Taking pity on the ca
mines hungry appearance 1t was given
some food and then turned out of
doors. on starting for work the next
morning Mr.. Macdonald found the dog
waiting on the porch and it followed
him to the city hall. The purp hung
around and no amount of persuasion
could compel 1t to leave. 1t has since
stuck closely to Mr.. Macdonald. and
seems to be so firmly convinced that
it has found a soft snap and kind
master that it will never wander away
again unless compelled to.
