CREDITS M'GOORTY WITH
WINNING KELLY CONTEST

The Chicago American, commenting
on the recent McGoorty- Kelly boxing
contest at Milwaukee, gives the Osh-
kosh boy all the best of IL. The fol-
lowing is the version of the contest,
given by the paper published in Kelly's
home town:
Eddie McGoorty of Oshkosh, by pop
ular decision, was given the verdict in
his ten round scrap with Hugo Kelly
OF Chicago at Milwaukee Friday night.
McGoorty did the best lighting i'm a
majority of the rounds and in most of
them set the pace.
The go was one of the best that Chi
cago and Milwaukee fans have had n
chance of Witnessing i'm n long time.
Both fighters worked hard in every
round and il was a mighty hard mat
ter to pick n winner. The only bouts
allowed i'm Milwaukee are the node
cision affairs.
In the betting McGoorty was favor
tie, for his Oshkosh admirers who made
the trip to the Cream city backed nm
strongly. He was the more aggressive
of the two landed more punches and
put more steam behind his blows. In
but two of the three rounds was Kelly
aggressive and in those rounds his
rushing tactics were not as effective as
McGoorty's. There was but one knock
down and that was made by McGoorty
in the first round, when he sent Kelly
to the floor with clean swing to the
jaw. Kelly regained his feet instantly
Both men were in the best of shape.
Hugo was without the nervousness
that has always marked his attitude
in former fights and McGoorty was as
confident as most strong young chaps
of his calber. They weighed in well
under the 100 mark at o'clock in the
afternoon.
Kelly fought a grand battle, but he
was chiefly on the defensive. A num-
Der Of times he was rushed TO the
ropes and in many more instances had
recourse to the clinch when McGoorty
became particularly aggressive. Nc
Goorty showed that he has fought his
way to where he is dangerous man
for Papke, Ketchel and all the rest of
'em. Kelly has evidently lost little or
nothing of his old time speed and
cleverness. but he was content last
night to work on the defensive save
only in the latter part of the go. and
for that reason McGoorty deserves the
decision.

PLAN TO PROBE
"sCANDAL" FzzLEs
Council Committee Won't Investigate
Stories of Bribery in Connection
With Issuing of Liquor Licenses,

Much interest was centered on the
meeting OF the council regulation COM
mittee Tuesday morning, as 1t was
said that 1t was the intention of the
members to start something" that
would prove a sensation in connection
with the rumors that brides had been
solicited and given in the recent grant
ing of liquor licenses. The sensation
did not mateTialize, and the short
session was dull one.
Before the meeting, Aid. link, chaiF'
man of the committee, declared that
he was going TO the bottom OF the
story and that he wanted the sup
port of every member OF council.
There was no expression of opinion
to be had from any aldermen not on
the liquor committee and but little
from those on It.
When the meeting was called, Chair
man link asked that some one make
a motion that would start the ball roll
ing. This suggestion met with op,
position from Aid. Garvey and Harp
fer, who declared that the mater had
tNtter be dropped.
HARPER asked If the liquor commit
tee was to investigate itself, or who
was to be given power. No one seem
ed to know He declared that the
rumor OF bribery also held the solu-
ton of the question as the report said
that an investigation had already
been started. When Chairman link
asked for a vote. on his suggestion
that somebody investigate something
there was silence.
When Aid. Lempke declared that
he would not support the granting OF
more licenses until he was sure that
the number allowed by law had not
been exceeded, two applications were
allowed to go over until check has
been made Of those granted and re.
ported to the committee. 1t was
stated that 1882 licenses have already
been authorized.

Thomas Swope, the millionaire of this
city, is not going to permit his MUD
10 get rusty. His attorney today
brought him a score of texts from his

larry, he says.
That Hyde really convicted himself
of poisoning Col. Swope and brought
upon himself a life sentence is the
statement OF w. c. Crone. one of the
Jurors who decided the physicians
fate.
Until Saturday night Crone and
Johnson, a farmer, held out for acquit-
tai against the rest of the jury. Re-
Numbering DR.. Hydes demeanor on
the stand, Mr.. Crone finally decided
the physicians fate by voting for con-
yiction and persuading Johnson to do
the same.
