CITIZENS OPPOSE YOUNG.

While counsel for the citizens got
about all they asked in the inyesti-
CATION of the Second Congressional
district democratic primary, with the
exception of the elimination OF May
nard and Young as future candidates
for the nomination, new cause OF
dissatisfaction has arisen among the
insurgents. 1t is now the action OF
C. Fenton Day, OF Smithfield, chair
man OF the democratic district com
mittee, with whom they are now dis
pleased, and open threats are made
that his scalp will pay the forfeit.
When the democratic state central
committee put it up to the district
committee to adopt plan for new
primary, Chairman Day called a
meeting OF bis committee for Satur-
day morning. He was urged to call
it Immediately, as the time for the
nomination OF candidate was short.
He then called it for Friday in Nor
folk.
The insurgents wanted another prl'
mary for the nomination OF a candidate
and assert that there would have been
time enough for one had Chairman
Day called his committee together
Immediately and ordered it. The
charge is made that the chairman did
not want it, and purposely delayed the
meeting of his committee so that the
time for it would be too short. They
also charge that the state machine will
make an effort to nominate Young in
the convention, who was its candidate
in the primary that has been declared
null and void,
They will fight Young's nomination
and are sure of defeating him.

MOVING PICTURES
BRING THE MONEY

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The pugilistic
game has become so thoroughly sat
urated with commercialism that the
optimist is becoming suspicious. This
talk about 100000 profits that is ex-
pected out of the pictures has started
the old school of fight followers talk
ing SSout fake fights. They say
ring battles are now conducted not to
decide championships but to mulct the
public out of money.
But there really is no justification
for this line of talk. The fighters viii
tel you that the price Of everything
has gone up and why shouldn't the pu-
gilist raise the ante. But this is not
the real reason for the so-called
frenzied finance in all branches of
sports these days. 1t is competition
that is causing the sudden boom IN
fight purses The same kind of COM
petition that is responsible for boom 5
in other lines.
In the DAYS of the Horton law in
New York $4,000 was a fabulous
purse to offer for a heavyweight cnam-
pionship battle. The reason for this
is easily explained. There were only a
few clubs bidding in those days. Now
there are dozens of fieht promoters in

Gotch chased after him and picking
him UP in his arms as he would baby,
walked to the front of the stage and
asked
"Will you ladies and gentlemen tell
me what hold to use in throwing this
gentleman"
Crowd Demands Toe Hold.
Toe hold" was the unanimous reply.
Down went the victim to the mat with
the champion sitting on his chest.
This gentleman has shoes on and I
cannot get toe hold under such con-
ditions," shouted Gotch.
Take them off," retorted the crowd.
And Gotch proceeded to do so, throw
/ ing one shoe to one side of the stage,
the other going in the opposite direc-
ton.
| Ladies' and gentlemen, l find that
my opponent has on some tights that
| have very thick feet. / don't know
that I can get the toe hold was the
next remark made by the champion.
Take off the tights" yelled the
crowd.

rected, keeping his victim PROSTATE all
the time. The unfortunate was now
clad only in a scanty pair Of trunks.
/ At this juncture, Gotch turned to his
adversary and asked with smile on
his face. Have you any choice as to
which toe 1 will tweak?"
The unfortunate merely groaned ana
Gotch did not have to resort to the toe
hold to place him on his back. He then
rolled him up in the mat so that only
his head potruded and trundled him
off the stage.

There is also a pathetic side To the
career of these men who have helped
make baseball history. It's an old say
ing in baseball that one day you are
a king and the next day a dub, and in
no games has this been more evident
than in the worlds series contests.
Billy Gilbert, after having played a
prominent part in the series of 1905,
was shortly afterwards traded to st.
Louis. In the Mound City he met with
varying success for a time, and last
year held down the role of scout for
the Cardinal team. He was in Seattle

loose to the minors.

AUTCiNG

The dark horses as a rule, have
,,,aved a prominent part in the out
coma of the worlds series since the
inauguration of the contests between
rho two rival major leagues.
OF course, such ball players as Ev-
ers. Cobb, Wagner and score Of
others have covered themselves with
glory in the annual meetings, but,
strangely enough, each year some
nlaver not touted to set the world on
fire. plays a stellar role in the thrilling
baseball drama.
When New YORK and Philadelphia
clasbed back in 1905, Christy Mathew
con was the nam9 most heard among
tho baseball fans, New Workers pinned
their hopes of victory in the former
Rucknel star anC the wonderful show
ing made by the collegian in taking
three straight games from the Ath-
letics is now matter of history.
Previous to the playing of that Sc
ries. in which New York scored a
signal triumph little was heard in the
ante series gossip about Second Base
man Billy Gilbert OF the Giants. Every
fan or critic kneT Gilbert was a grand
fielder. and that he would look after
that port Of the program in the most
approved style, but what about his
batting ability? 1t was the general
opinion that before the clever twirl of
the Athletic pitches Gilbert would be
well nigh helpless. That little could be
expected of Gilbert at the bat was the
almost unanimous verdict.
The awful jar that Billy Gilbert
gave the adTance dope on his work
at the bat is still talked about by
those fortunate enough to be present
at the series His hitting was one OF
the real features, outside of the work
of Mathewsn. While the star twirler
of the Clans worked in perfect style,
his efforts would have probably gone
for naught mad not Billy Gilbert

series. All If his drives were of the
timeliest fshion, and proved q big
