EASY
FOR GIBBONS
In Only One Round Did Detroit
Man Show at
All.

Michael Gibbons, of st. Paul, took
a fling at Detroit Fred Hicks last
night for a period of ten rounds at the
Fairmont A. C. and again demon
strated hat he is the class of the well
terweight division. In only round
did Hicks show to advantage and that
was the SEVENTH. In every other ses-
sion Hicks was a mark for the blows
OF the shifty Westerner. Hicks was
cut to ribbons and will long remem-
Der the beating hat was handed him.
How he managed to last the ten rounds
is much of a mystery, for he received
enough punishment to fell an OK. Glib
bons danced In and out, landing blows
at will, and on several occasions had
his man in a bad way. The bell was
always the signal for Hicks to stay
another round.
The opening round found the men
sparring for an opening. During this
number about three blows were struck.
In the second round Gibbons began to
cut up Hicks, and at the n of the
round a him bleeding profusely. The
straight left jab of Gibbons cut short
any thing thai Hicks tried to start,
and on several occasions sent him
Keeling across the ring. In the sew
enth Hicks got Gibbons against the
ropes and sent in several hard wal
lops. Mike got busy and came back
with an avalanche of blows hat evened
up the round. The other rounds found
Gibbons always on top.

can aid in the ultimate development
to perfection in a baseball player, Enos
kirkpatrick, the Dayton Central
League recruit, who signed his con-

cording to many anti-seaspn prognos-
ticators.
The Beltzhooyer Library and Ath-

Young Smith, of Philadelphia. will be
matched against Mahon. Smith, too,
comes with a grand reput ton. Mahon
also figures that he can give as much
as he takes. and it should be a lively
six-round bout. Besides these two
affairs, the management has arranged
a quartet of excellent preliminaries.

TIGERS SIGN
NEW PITCHER
Charley McAdams from Three
Eye League Endorsed by
Roger Bresnahan.

Another new addition was made to
the Newark clubs hinging staff today
when a deal was consummated with
the Springfield, ILL.,, club of the Three
Eye League for Charley McAdams, a
big right-handed HEAVIER who pitched
for the st. Louis Cardinals during the
last half of the National League sea-
son and was turned over to Springfield
In the fall.
McAdams originally came from the
Dallas club of the Texas League,
where he won nine games and dropped
six, pitching for a team that finished
fourth. 1t was Roger B%resnahan who
tipped Joe McGinnity off to McAdams,
n when Vice. President George Solo
mon heard the name he Immediately
remembered him as a recruit he had
recommended to. the Brooklyn club
early last year, only to find that st.
Louis had beaten him to it.
Roger Bresnahan paints q glowing
picture of the new Tiger pitchers
ability and explains that he let him
out because he needed more seasoning
and not because he did not think that
McAdams will develop into a big
Lacquer.
when our International League
batters see that fast n of his" says
Bresnahan. they dill sit up and take
notice. I swear 1t has a jump almost
as pronounced as Aiexander.'s. His
speed is terrific. and his curves good
and sharp, but he needs another sea-
son in the bushes before he can de-
velop into a big Lacquer. We let him
out to Springfield, but l would rather
see him with a faster club. He is a
right-hander, and we would never have
cut loose on him If we were not al
ready o~verstocked with pitchers"
George Solomon declared that the
club paid a fancy price for the latest
recruit, but did not name the amount.

Sam. II want Burchell, however, be-

L~ichtenhein says that Joe Yeager will

Rubin Dies
Very Suddenly

famous a decade ago as a pugilist, con-
queror Of Tom Sharkey n other men
of lesser note, died suddenly yesterday
in his cafe in Brooklyn as a result of
a stroke of apopley.
Rubin fought his last big fight on
November 16, 1901, in San Francisco,

rounds, His fight with Sharkey took
place in 1900, when Rubin made the
sailor throw up the sponge after fifteen
hard rounds. In 1897 Rubin fought a
twenty-round draw with Jeffries; in
1898 he lost to Kid Mccoy in twenty
rounds; to Tom sharkey the same year
in one round, and in 1900 he knocked

Only Important Regulation Like
ly to Come Out OF T0-
days Sessions.

NEW YORK, Feb. ~14.-Magnates of
the National League anticipated but
a brief session today to conclude the
business of their annual spring meet
ing. Some amendments to the league
constitution and to the national agree
ment were to be considered n a
final adjournment taken.
There will be no meeting of the rules
committee at this time though one may
be held to consider a change in the
box rule. Thomas Connolly, chairman
of the American League rules COM
mittee, and Umpire Emslie, who Is on
the National League committee, have
both raised a point that the pitchers
box should be cut down to a level with
the diamond. No other changes In the
rules are contemplated.
There was no talk of deals, n the
managers apparently adopted a
"standpat' policy with respect to the
makeup of their teams. Roger Bresna-
han. of the ST. Louis Cardinals, said
he would gladly make a trade If he
could get the better of the other man
ager, but there didn't seem to be much
prospect of that.
While there was considerable dis
cussion yesterday over the playing
dates, no real d~issension developed,
and after the advantages n disad-
xantages had been thoroughly viewed
and reviewed, the work of the schedule
committee was unanimously approved.
1t was announced hat the following
