and the way the great stars played as
tonished the fans of this district
the greatest aggregation of stars that
ring none, and the fans were curious
were not disappointed.
Among the players who appeared
for the local team were Earl Hamil-
ton of the st. Louis Americans; Dutch
Griffin of the Western association;
Jack Love of the K. c. Blues; Joe
Kelley, a home boy who made such
a record with the st. Joe team that
he has been bought by the Chicago
White Sox; Stengel of the Brooklyns,
and the Olsons, who are star anna
tours in this section.
The Galena aggregation was head
ed by Walter Johnson, king of them
all, and supported by the best play
ers that are now in this district,
among whom were Dick Bayless, a
Joplin boy, who has been the sensa-
ton of the Pacific coast this sum-

of the Joplin bunch. Large crowds
were present from Joplin and Galena

company, formerly owned by the

the Folsom Morris Coal Mining com

The immediate extension to Midway
is necessary in order to handle the

ANm-TYPHOID VACCINATION.
Employees of Two Railroads Will
Take the Serum.

ST. Louis Mo, Nov. 5.-President F.
H Britton of the Cotton Belt, st.
Louis Southwestern has announced
that at the request of Chairman Ed
win Gould, who is taking keen interest
in anti-typhoid vaccination, a circular
signed by Chief Surgeon c. A. Smith
has been prepared for distribution over
the entire system. Mr.. Britton said:
"Our chairman is so firmly con-
WINGED of the efficiency of the anti
typhoid vaccination as to have his en-
tire family incculated with the serum,
and it is at his suggestion and ex-
pressed wish that this circular is is
sued"
The employees of railroads and their
families are among the persons most
likely to be benefited by such vaccir a
ton, and it has been decided on the
part of the St. Louis Southwestern
lines to furnish free vaccination to all
employees who desire it and to MEM
bers of their families at actual cost,
which will be nominal. This also ap-
plies in the case of vaccination for
smallpox. The vaccination for typhoid
consists of three injections, with an
interval of ten days between them, the
entire treatment thus requiring twenty
days AS a rule the person vaccinated
experiences but little inconvenience by
reason of the treatment.
Vaccinations for typhoid as well as
smallpox, can be had at the general
hospital at Texarkana or by consult
ing any of the surgeons at division
points Employees are urged to take
advantage of this opportunity to rem
der both themselves and their fami-
lies immune from typhoid fever, and
it Is hoped they will avail themselves
of this opportunity to secure the
treatment without cost. Their farni-
lies can be treated by the surgeon at
division point, and all that is neces-
sary is that the employee or members
of his family make request on the
COMPANY physician for the same.

cording L. agreement, was WITT hout n
referees decision and the wagers,
running into several thousand dollars,
were based on the newspaper mems
decisions. Two papers gave the fight
to Mandot and one called it a draw.
The opinion of the fourth will not be
known until this afternoon, but even
should it be for Wolgast the three
opinions already made public, count
ing the draw as a half vote as is the
custom, give the bout to the local boy.
Ed. w. Smith of Chicago, who ref
creed the fight, said that Mandot had
a marrow escape in the third round;
that "he weathered the next rounds
up to the SIXTH that his clean work
from that to the middle of the seventh
evened the fight; and that ''he I'M
the last two rounds and half and

tender for WoIgast's title"
Wolgast and Joe Mandot divid-
ed honors IN ten round, no decision

advantage, according to decision of
newspaper men. Although Mandot was
accredited with having the better of
four of ten rounds, Wolgast. with one,
while the others were even, the cham
pion's infghting and early aggressive
ness won for him the unofficial draw
decision.
wolgast lost no time early in the
fight feeling out his new opponent,
but went at him hammer and longs
He seemed to try for a knockout in
the first round. Mandot stopped the
rushes and soon began fighting The

Wolgast clearly had the advantage in
the infighting. Mandot at times APP

for the face and had Wolgast's nose
bleeding early in the fight. Wolgast

U. p. FEARS A FUEL SHORTAGE.
General Manager Ware Appeals to
SINNERS for Aid.

Sidney, Neb. Nov. 5.-Charles NJ.
Ware, general manager of the Union
Pacific, was in Sidney recently, after
visiting every town along the road be-
tween Omaha and here, doing what he
could to induce shippers to release
cars usod in the coal trade. Mr.. Ware
attributes the fuel shortage in a large
part to the failure of dealers to
promptly release cars. He reports in
stances where dealers have held cars
loaded with fuel for fifteen days. He
is now engaged in the task of keeping
fuel moving and good progress toward
supplying the demand has been made
during the past two weeks. He thinks
the fuel famine will be a thing of the
past in a few days.

PLAN FIGHT TRUST
New York Boxing Officials
Would Control Boxing.
Body Similar to Baseball Com
mission Urged.

New York, Nov. 5.-The first steps
toward the formation of a national
governing body to control the sport of
boxing have been taken by the New
DIRK state boxing commission and it
Is expected that national boxing as
ISOLATION will be in operation before
the end of the year.
In a letter which will this week
reach the officials of all boxing clubs
IN the United States, the secretary of
the New York commission says:
1t has been my observation that
the success of the sport of boxing is
due to organization and control. 1t
has occurred to me that now is the
proper time to suggest the formation
OF a national governing body of box
ing, and with that end in view l am
writing to request your cooperation.
In forming national boxing asso-
citation it would be Well to make same
an organization of owners of thor
oughly representative clubs of the
United States. A meeting could be
held at some central given point where
OF ganization could be effected, Off
GERS elected and a commission of five
or seven delegates with authority to
supervise and handle all the different
questions that might arise in connec-
tion with the conduct of the sport.
Tnere seems to be no good reason
why boxing could not be conducted
along the same lines as baseball and
controlled by a body similar to the
national baseball commission. In do
ms this boxing would be placed upon
a thoroughly business basis and eIe-
waited to high plane.
The New York commission already
has the assurance of France and Aus
tralia. They are ready to stand by
all decisions and penalties rendered bv
this commission, and with a national
bocy 1t would be an easy matter to
make the control of the sport world
wide"
