MAT GO WITH DANE

impossible for him to throw the Dane
by working around the head and shout

made famous by Frank Gotch into play.
From start to finish he worried the big
Dane by continuous feints around the
legs until he finally secured the holds
with which he pinned him down.
A crowd second only to that which
attended the Hack Gotch fiasco at the
White Sox park witnessed the bouts.

Some of the best lightweight boxing
talent that has been staged in this vi
entity in many moons was seen by
small but enthusiastic audience at the
Lewis skating ring at East Chicago
last night. 1t was the first boxing
show that has been staged since rails
ing the lid some weeks ago. Every
thing went off just like clockwork and
although the bouts were tame in one
sense of the word. the little gamesters
put up an excellent exhibition of the
fistic game. In accordance with the
rulings of the police eight-ounce gloves
were used and not one drop of blood
was shed. Every tighter received his

At o'clock the curtain raiser was
staged with Jack Messinca of East Chi

match Both men appeared IN the ring
about evenly matched. but Messinca
proved his superiority by taking the
first two falls in short order The East
Chicago lad had the bulge on his oppo-

and ere long It looks like Messinca
will be one OF the Corners. His first fall
was gained by a half nelson and body
hold in 1 minute so seconds. and the
last with a body hold in 2 minutes 80
seconds.

Boston, Sept. 24-From the prize ring in the Arena building Governor Hiram w. Johnson, the progressive candidate for vice president, tonight addressed a large crowd and brought to a close his first day of campaigning in New England. ...--.
 For five minutes after the governor entered the ring, suddenly emerging alone from behind some flags in the rear of the hall, the spectators were in an uproar. They cheered, applaud ed. rang cowbells and sang songs After the cheering had lasted for a couple of minutes, the governor raised his arms and attempted to speak, but his effort was futile. Thirty five of the progressive club of Beverly rose to their feet, waved flags and shouted Beverly, Bull Moose and the band struck up "The People for ever with renewed vigor. When quiet finally | reigned, Governor Johnson stepped tc the edge of the ring nearest the au- dience and said:

New York, Sept 24.-James c.

He was called primarily to explain why he had rejected thirty or forty men as having criminal records when these men were subsequently, appointed to the force by Commissioner Waldo.
 MT. Cropsey told of a conversation he had with Mayor Gaynor in May. 1911, in which he (Cropsey) protested at the making public of certain letters concerning the police department.

 Did the mayor ever instruct you to appoint in numerical order ?" MT. Crop sey was asked. .,
 He did not" was the reply. And if he had would have quit the job"
 MT. Cropsey testified that he refus- ed to grant a request from the mayor to make four inspectors and IA cap tains, informing the mayor. he saidr that there were too many of them as it was"
 Commission Waldo was recalled to testify today and said he would not accept the responsibility turned upon him yesterday by members of the mu- ntcipal civil service commission in their testimony for appointing as pa- trolmen men whom MT.

 The governor today received some statistics on the wages paid women in this and other states and he referred to them tonight in connection with his plea for national legislation on this question. .'The question of the mini mum wage is one that affects directly the people of your state'' he declared More than 66 per cent. of your work ing women now receive less than $6 a week. I would like to show you how many are working for less than $5 week. And, if I had the time, I would like to show you how in great cities many girls are required to keep up a respectable appearance on less than $3.50 week. Then the question would be brought home to you and you would see that we as a nation are sowing the seeds of dissolution when we permit such practices"
 He again criticised Gov. Wilson for his opposition to the minimum wage scale for women, saying the New Jer- sey executive ceased marking time for moment" and took up the ques- tion in his Buffalo speech.
