GIBBOES-CLABBY
GO WENT TO DRAW

Milwaukee, Sept. 2.--In a fight that
was married by the crude work OF
Referee Wallace of the Badger Ath-
letic club, Mike Gibbons of st. Paul
and Jimmy Clabby Of Hammond. Ind.
champion weller weight boxer of the
world, battled ten rounds to a draw
here last night The fight, which fol-
lowed four OF the bloodiest preIimi-
naries blood thirsty fan would care
TO look upon, failed to loom as a bat
tie of great interest, the fans having
had the taste OF blood refusing TO
show much appreciation for real
clever fighting.
Gibbons held the champion at even
during practically every round and
at times took the lead.
The first few rounds found both
men working cautiously afraid of the
other, and just when the fans began
to show interest the referee Mr. wal
lace, opened a line Of insulting talk
to both boys ridiculing them for not
opening up and showing the fans red
blood battling. AT first this inter
Terence on the part or the referee was
taken lightly by both fighters, but the
fans, soon learning that the referee
was calling the boxers for not
showing more bull dog spirit, picked
up the howl, with the result that both
Clabby and Gibbons were put to a
disadvantage.
Apparently Wallace knew little or
nothing about the work of clever
lighters, for both boys were showing
wonderfully smooth work. It was a
battle between two men Of a class
and two more clever boxers never
lived. Clabby at one tim. threatened
to stop fighting until the referee
stopped his crude tactics.

FARGO PLAYER
BEAT The CHAMP

Minot, N. D., Sept. 2.--Three humid
red people packed the Leland pool
room to the very doors when e. p.
Henning, Pacific coast champion
played matched game with AL Twee-
den of Fargo. Young Tweeden is only
Is years old but proved in last nights
game that he Is in the championship
class.
Last nights exhibition was q match
game, Henning to make 400 to Twee-
den's 300. The first half Of the game
gave Tweeden lead of $50 to Sc and
when the game was over Tweeden
had defeated the champion 500 to 247.
The game was one of the most inter-
esting exhibitions Of pool seen in this
city In a long time and the interest
in the outcome was intense through
out the entire game.

hind the bat would prove to be a
wonder.
Bender is a pitcher with good
speed, fine curve and excellent
control. He fields his position in
grand STYLE
Rucker Is the only left handler /
have selected for the staff. He has
fine control for left handler, plenty
OF speed and fine drop ball.
Chase on first, would have no rival
for the position. He Is q sensational
fielder, covers an immense amount Of
ground, is a good thrcwer, a fine hit
ter, and fast on the bases.
Collins was given the preference
over Lajoie on account Of his speed.
He covers more ground than Lajoie,
and while he may not bat within
twenty points Of the Frenchman. he
overcomes this by his work on the
bases He is a brainy player and will
fit III any company.
Lord is wonderful third baseman.
He is good on hard lift balls to his
lett or right, fields well and is a hust-
Ter every minute during the game. He
is first class hitter and fine base
runner.
Bush, at short, may not be as hard
q hitter as some Of the other short
stops, but he is a good waiter, gets
on the bases often and is a first class
base runner. He is sensational
fielder.
Wagner would be an ideal man for
the utility roll on this team as he can
play any Of the infield positions. He
can hit hard and for big man is fast
on the bases.
Crawford in right, Speaker in CEN
ter and Cobb In left make a trio in
the outf1eld that cannot be equaled.
They are fine fielders, good throwers
and are among the leaders as batters
and base runners.
Magee is picked as utility outfeld-
er, not alone because he is a fine out
fielder, good thrower and fast on the
bases, but because he is a right hand
hitter and In case left hand pitcher
was troublesome for some of the left
hand batsmen, he and Wagner could
be used, making the team strong

feated Knockout Brown, Wednes-
day night in Madison Square garden,
has announced that he has received an
offer of $4,000 for bout in London

begin negotiations looking to putting
Wells in the ring at London or in
some western city in this country in a
bout to be staged by Tex Richard.

DISORDER in CROWD

New York, Sept. Reconsideration
Of the complaints concerning disorder
on the street surrounding Madison
Square garden and the alleged crowd
ing of the standing room inside the
garden at the Wells Brown fight We'd
nesday night was taken up at a meet
ing of the New York state athletic
commission. Action was postponed in
order to give a chance for those in
terested in promoting boxing to be
heard. Patrick M. Powers, represent
ing the club which managed this con-
test, volunteered to appear before the
commission today.
Frank s. O'Neill. a member Of the
commission said the commission felt
the matter should not be allowed to go
unnoticed. Some of the objects of
the commission, however, are to see
that boxing contests are conducted in
an orderly manner and to provide for
the comfort and safety of the patrons
by regulating the number Of tickets
sold.
Licenses would be granted to two
athletic clubs, making eleven clubs
now licensed in greater New York.

Hugh Jennings. manager OF the De-
froit baseball team and recognized ev-
/ erywhere as an authority on the ma
tional pastime, has selected the above
for The Detroit Times, as the best
I baseball team that could be picked
from the stars Of the National and
American leagues Following are
some OF the reasons given by jennings
Tor his preferences:
Tn the catching department there
can be no question as to the worth
Of the three men named. Bresnahan
combines three qualifications seldom
found in catcher. He possesses cour-
age, speed and brains and being a
good backstop as well las q good
thrower would be a valuable man for
any team in the country. He is a
first-class hitter and hne base run
ner.
Doom has all of these qualities ex-
cept speed. He is more gingery is q
good thrower, works his pitchers with
good Judgment and Is a wonderful
Judge Of foul flies.
Stanage is the right build for a
catcher. He has good arm, works
his pitchers intelligently and liz not
afraid to throw the bali to any base
to catch runners mapping. He is a
good hitter bat not fast on the bases
He can catch every day.
In Walsh think I have selected one
of the best, If not the best pitcher in
the country. He is master of the spit
ball and has good control and speed
Being a big. strong man, he can work
every third day. He fields his posi-
tion In frst-class style and has lot
of courage.
Mathewson is grand pitcher. He
is master OF the situation and uses
excellent Judgment in figuring the
weakness Of the batsmen who face
him. His drop ball is his strongest
point, although he has good speed and
a fair slow ball.
johnson possesses more speed than
any other Of the pitchers T have Sc
lected. He has good curve ball, but
his slow ball is just fair. He has
good control and with the support be-

boxing contests are conducted but 1t
Is doubtful il any promoter of that
sport In this country can boast OF
housing the fans as well as the club
which stages the bout here this month.
The accompanying pictures show
the auditorium exterior and interior.
The cross shows where the elevated
ring will be located. Around the
ring will be opera seats and In addi-
ton there are thousands of seats III
the gallery, on the stage and boxes
running alongside the entire four sides
OF the interior oT the building.
Some high prices have been paid
for seats at boxing matches but att
the Mcfarland Wolgast contest $40 lis
the highest price charged. And you
can bet that every seat win be taken.
In fact the progress of seat sale
which has been I'm progress only a
very short time, IS evidence that the
house Will be sold our.
It ID expected that about IL, 900 per-
sons wiz witness the contest ana ac-
cording to the figures of the pronaot-
ers the receipts will be about $46,-
900.

Assistance of Marion Fire
Department Sought.
STEAMER READY TO SHIP
When Word Comes That
Fire is Out.
Marion Aid Requested Purely as a
Protective Measure But Il Wasn't
Necessary TO Send Apparatus.
Damage Done In Cellar of q Bak-
cry.

"Richwood is burningl" was the
the streets about nine o'clock this
morning and hundreds of Marion
ties became wildly excited to learn
the progress of events.
The greatly exaggerated story arose
from the fact that a message was
received about that time asking that
the steamer be loaded and sent to
the Union County at once. Fire Chief
Mcfarland and Safety Board Direc-
cor Knapp Immediately got busy and
within fifteen minutes the old steam
er had been taken from the West
End department and placed on the
Erie platform ready ror loading. Fhe
hose wagon was also taken from the
Central department and all was
ready for the start when a second
message was received stating that
the fire was now under control and
all danger had passed.
The occasion for asking aid. was
more a protective measure than any
thing else. Shortly after seven o'clock
this morning fire broke out in the
basement of a three story brick
building owned by J. n. Sanders at
Franklin and Blagrove streets. The
ground floor of the building is occu-
pied by II. G.. Smeltzer's bakery,
and the ovens are located in the
cellar.
Mr. Smeltzer's baker was preparing
for the days work and had raked
the Goals from beneath the oven. He
left the room a few moments and
when he returned no was met with a
rush of flame and smoke. He at
tempted to fight the fire alone for a
time, but seeing that II was gaining
o him, turned in an alarm, where
upon the local department responded
and soon had three streams playing
into the cellar. a cellar fire Is no
toriously hard to fight but the Rich
wood department is said to have
done nobly in the work. AS a cell
lar fire in a place or that kind is
also usually a slow and stubborn fire
the department worked for an hour
without making visible headway.
The brick is right In the heart Of
the business district and Is surround
ed by frame structures. The Redwood
chief feared that the fire might
get away from them and once 1t
started in the frame structures he
would be helpless to stay its course
1t was then that the Marion depart
ment was requested 20 send aid.
However, by the time the local APP
paratus was loaded, the Redwood de
partment had gained the upper hand
and shortly after nine o'clock the fire
had been completely extinguished.
The damage to the building was
slight, the greater part resulting
from smoke and water.

TO Be REGISTRAR
Marion Man Receives Nice
State Appointment.
DOESN'T BEGIN At ONCE
Will Occupy Another Place
Temporarily.
Work Requires Vast Amount of Tech
nicaI knowledge and Popular Ma
rIon Man Is Selected Because OF
His Peculiar Fitness For The Posi-
tion-Marion Friends Pleased.

Regarding the appointment OF DR..
A. C. Holland. Of Marion, as chief
statistician in the state department of
vital statistics, Fridays Columbus
Dispatch contains the following, which
will interest the many friends of the
anable Doc" -
DIR. A. c. Holland, OF Marion, IL Is
said, Is to be the new state registrar
of vital statistics under Secretary OF
State Graves. to succeed DR.. f. Il.
Watkins who now holds that posi-
ton. DR.. Watkins Is holding under
appointment for term ending the
second Monday in January, 1913, but
Secretary Graves will hardly permit
him to remain in office until that time
II he can help it. He will be out or
office by that time himself, unless he
can secure reelection at the state
election next year, and will not have
a chance to fill that important office
at all, unless he does II now.
"Dr. Holland was selected some time
ago nominally TO take the place of
George /. Gardiner. of Wooster, as
chief statistician. He presented him
self to take that position Friday
morning. However. Mr.. Gardiner VIII
remain on duty for week or two to
install his successor in the work. II
Is understood that Dr. Holland will,
when he has familiarized himself
with the duties of chief statisticlan,
be transferred to the position OF edi-
tor for the bureau now held by Major
w. ii. Duffy, and thence to the posi-
ton of registrar, taking DR.. Watkins
place when he has secured the run
of the office
"The first annual report of the de-
partment is now going through the
press and DR.. Watkins wishes to re-
main in charge at least until that
work is done. 1t will probably be
completed by the time DR.. Holland
has familiarzed himself with the work
OF the bureau, and II Is understood
that he will then be ready to tender
his resignation. The handling of vital
statistics as il is done in the bureau
requires a great deal of technical
knowledge and 1t may be late In the
summer before Dr. Holland will feel
competent to take the place of head
of the bureau.

toner. but lately has been employed
