What a marvel old Cy Young really is.
Released by Cleveland ii was generally
sunposed that the old fellow would quietly

insisted that he was not through pitch

Since Joining Boston he has pitched
three games and won two of them, and
Yesterday he shut out one OF the strong

It is remarkable that after twenty-five
wears of active service in the major

more systematic and expeditions plan In
the American League Of dealing with
postponed games which has been in vogue
several years. In the old league there
is no set rule about playing on these
games. and the result is that the CLUBS 40
bout as they please in such matters,

ness-like arrangement obtains OF playing
off postponed games automatically on the

NEW YORK, August 3l.-Matt l..
Wells, the lightweight champion of Great
Britain. outpointed Knockout Brown
in a slashing ten-round bout at Madison
Square Garden last night. There was
no room for doubt as to the winner, for
in six of the ten rounds. the man from
across the waters had all the better OF
the exchanges There was no excuse for
Brown. He fought gamely and well; ne
was in perfect condition but the better
man won and won in impressive style
Brown did most of the forcing ana
never for an instant backed up or stopped
in his efforts, but Wells had his style
down to science. and pitted his, skill
against his rugged foeman's aggressive
ness to good purpose.
Backing around like panther at bay,
Wells watched every opening and shot
home short, snappy leads that beat
Browns swings to the mark and made
him MISS Game. defiant and snarling,
Brown came on. but the Briton was al
ways there with counter move.
With the speed of automatons the
DYNAMIC athletes battled back and forth
through the misty haze of blue tobacco
smoke that hung over the ring. Lead fol-
lowed lead with a speed that well-nigh
defied the eve to follow, Wnlie the spec
tators thundered their applause.
Wills was the boxer, but Knockout,
the iGol of the crowd, was the fighter
nure and simple, and pitted his youth,
stamina and terrific hitting ability
against the skill of the Briton.
Wrangle Over Bandages. =
A lengthy wrangle ensued at the start
over the bandages which Wells wore, and
after much verbiage Wells unwound
about yard of heavy tape. and the bout
was on.
The scene about the ringside recalled
memories of the palniy days of the old
Horton law, when champions met and
battled in the historic old garuen It was
lust eleven years ago in the same arena
that Jim Corbett- and Kid Mccoy boxed
that notorious bout which was largely re-
sponsible for the repeal of the Horton
law.
II was the first big bout held under the
new Frawley law. and an enormous
crowd turned out to welcome the return
of box ing to a more substantial basis.
The portals Of the garden were thrown
omen At Z o'clock and a never-ceasing
stream Of struggling humanity poured
through the gates. BY 7:30 o'clock the
gallery and lower priced seats groaned
under their load of buzzing spectators.

vance were more tardy in arriving. but
long before the first preliminary bout the
big amphitheater was packed to the

Trouble Over Weight.
Wells had all manner of trouble in
making the weight. and it was not until
4:25 o'clock. after. taking a long run on
1913 pounds. He looked a little drawn,
in at 13l pounds and looked as powerful
as bull.
The Briton was not without friends and
received royal welcome as he stepped
into the ring, but the applause paled into
almost inSignificance by the riOtous roar
that marked the entrance of Brown.
Brown opened the big bout in his usual
intrepid style and walked right in on his
rival. cutting his right to the head. Wells
boxed well and landed several lefts to the
head. He came Iii close and shot home a
couple of punches to the body and made
Brown miss a left hook for the head. He
beat his opponents left with short right
counter and had a shade the better of it
at the bell, as Brown was wild.
In the second round Wells sent Brown
reeling across the ring with hard right.
He was slow in following up the adyan-
tage. and Brown dashed in again, swing
him miss again, and shot over a terrific
right to the jaw. Knockout" came back,
but was OutbOXed, and Wells earned the
honors of the round.
The, tide turned in the third round for a
and the American boy flashed to
the fore. He gave Wells little time to set
and came in with hard leads to the body.
Wells Strengthened him UP with a terrific
right-hand counter that drew the blood
from the nose but Brown came in with a
right to the head and smashed his left to
the face Both roughed 1t in the clinches.
On the break Brown hooked over a hard
right. and at the end had a slight lead on
points.
Brown in Bad.
Matters assumed deep blue shade for
Brown in the fourth round and for a mo-
ment it looked as if the New York boy
would be knocked out. Matt had his
style down to a fine point and shot home
several right-hand counters to the head
that had his rival in trouble
Brown sent Wells to one knee with a
terf1nc Ie1t hook to the body in the fifth
round and had an edge on the work done.
but Wells was back like a flash. and
Brown took the licking of his career
throughout the seventh and eighth
rounds. Wells had his style down to
fine point. and beat his left hook time
after time with short. snappy rights to
the jaw. That Brown was not knocked
ont was due alone to the fact that he is
possessed of an iron jaw and that youth
and perfect condition rallied to his aid.
Brown made a final rally in the last
round and tried to even the score but
while he landed many hard blows the
Briton was the better man. He puffed
Browns left eye with his right counter,
and the New York boy went to his corner
with the blood flowing from his mouth.

Minnesota lost more than an able

Lovable, kind, true, charitable,

full friend and a conscientious public
servant, the state has good reason
to mourn the loss of her associate
justice of the supreme court.
AS rare tribute, it can truth
fully be said that the present out
pouring expressions of sorrow is not
due, perhaps, so much to his ability
as jurist as to his strong exempli-
fication of mans real humanity to

'of his own party?
There is only one reason visiable
to the plain citizen. That is that
Senator Bailey has been instructed
to defend Lorimer by persons outside
of the senate whom he has no choice
but to obey. His sharper critics
point out how nearly he lost his re-
election last time on evidence of his
secret relations with corporations UNI
popular in Texas, such as Standard
Oil, it's affiliated railroads and the
Southern lumber trust Now it is
notorious that all of these are repre-
sented in the impudent lobby that is
trying to get Lorimer whitewashed.

Remembering THE MAINE.

: Thirteen years ago, the American
ibattleship Maine gave lurch and
sank in the waters of Havana harbor,
bringing death to hundreds of brave
seamen. That was on the night of
February A. The next day the
United States clinched her fists under
such headlines as american battle
ship blown up by SPAIN. A few
weeks later, this country and the
Don government were at it hammer
and tongs. @ A.
1t is generally conceded that if the
Maine had not blown up. there would
have been no war, and the general
and lasting impression has always
been that the loss of the, Maine and
her brave seamen was directly at
tributable to the Spaniards.
That there was a terrific explo-
sion on the battleship and that she
sank rapidly, as would be the case
were mine set off under her, was
from the first apparent.
But for years the wreck of the
trim American fighter has rested on
the Cuban mud, a part of her warped
steel red with rust of many months
protruding from the shark infested
waters, a gaunt reminder of one Of
the most unfortunate events of Amer
lean history. The natural SUPPOSE
ton was that the shattered ship
would be dragged from the harbor,
for, aside from any sentimental reas-
on, the room is needed as Havana
harbor is small.
1t often has been said that the
United States dares not raise the
Maine for fear that it will be found
that the disaster was due to 1iegli-
gence on board and that the ex-
plosion came from within and not
from mine without as generally
supposed. /
At last, however, Congress decid-
ed to do away with the wreck and
early last fall the actual work began.
A cofferGam has been constructed
and as soon as the water is pumped
out the old pile of junk can be drag
ged away. Work has been hamper
ed, temporarily, owing to the lack
of funds but additional appropria-
lions are expected to be made at
once and within compare lively
short time the world may know the
true cause of the accident which
brought on a war. We say "may
know" because it is a fact that the
work is being carried on with much
secrecy and if it be found that the
explosion was from the inside there
is no assurance that the truth will
ever become public.
