Coulon went in as he had said he

knockout as quickly as possible. He
rushed and swung rapidly with either

Gary Is Only Town in Dis
trict Possessing a Genu-
inc Athletic Spirit.
tBy sPIKE.D

During the past year and possibly
longer athletics seemed to have been
losing foothold in Lake county and for
no other reason than the fact that the
general public does not want to lend
its support
Take for instance, the Hammond
Athletic association organized by a
band of young men some two years
ago. At first it was run on paying
basis and athletics of all shapes were
INDUCED in. Stars in the different
games were found and good games of
basketball, indoor baseball. footbal II
and baseball were played, but still the
public refused to patronize them and
the result was that the clubs chattels
have been sold at auction to apply on
the debts which were made by the H.
A. A. because of the public's non-sup-
port.

M'GRAW HAS NEW
RULE FOR PITCHERS

New York, Jan 2s-Jonn McGraw,
manager of the New York Nationals.
has laid before the National league
rules committee suggestions for
changes in the rules dealing with the
pitching box. McGraw urges that
something be done so that pitchers will
not violate the rule that requires one
foot to be In contact with the rubber
when delivering the ball. His plan is
to have the ground Immediately behind
the rubber dug out several inches
Were this the case the foot of pitch
er stepping back of the slab would dis
appear in the excavation and the IL
legal step could be readily detected
McGraw also asks that all raised pitch
ers' boxes be of a uniform height.

for him to make. He tried steadily for
knockout with the dread right hand
of his from the moment they put up
their hands after the opening bell.
And he crossed it over several times,
too, in breaking from a clinch. He
shot over what he supposed was a hay
maker three times to the Coulon jaw
1t sent the champions head back each
time, but failed to hurt him. For just
as the low weight had sapped his
strength 1t has taken the sting from
his punch.
Any bantam in the world would have
had an easy time with Harry last
night
AS for Couion. the thing was too easy
for him to get a chance to show his
wonderful skill. He boxed prettily as
ever, though failing to excel his foe as
long as Forbes was good. Once John
ny saw Forbes was beginning to slow
up. he became a little tiger and put all
his fury into each rush and punch. He
got in lot Of wicked little ones to the
stomach. but his blows for the jaw for
the most part went wild
The two left handlers that sent
Forbes down in the last round would
the old Harry The bout proved Forbes
a dead one as a bantam, but not dead
one as a fighter. 1t showed. however
that 1t is simply murder for him to
scale 116. probably little less than to
make 11s. He will have TO mingle with
the featherweights IL he hopes to stay
longer in the ring.
1t was a sad spectacle. Coulon drove
a hard bargain and it won for him
without him getting up a perspiration.
Johnny can beat MOST of the boys in
the game up to 40 and had he let
Forbes do 11s at three or six the crowd
might have had a run for It's money.
But Johnny is a champion who takes
no chances. and surely he did not have
chance I'm the world to lose last
night
The fight should prove lesson to
the promoters on low weight making.
Men in the condition Forbes was last
night are easily seriously injured Kid
Howard knew his condition well and
tossed up the sponge at just the right
nlement.

ABE ATTE[L
SAYS He
WAS 'D0PED'

New York, Jan. 23.-Abe AtteU,
champion featherweight of the United
States, whose alleged taking in his re-
cent go with Knockout Brown re-
suited in his appearing before the
state boxing commission, testified yes
terday that he had been doped by Tom
0'Rourke, manager of the National
Sporting club. and a man O'Rourke
represented the club physician. On
the insistence of ORourke, who had
$500 up on Brown against 5000 on At
tell, put up by somebody else, Attell
said he permitted the doctor to inject
cocaine into his wrists with a hypo-
dermic syringe.
To these charges Tom O'Rourke re-
piled In strong terms late yesterday.
THE trouble with Attell," said the
we'll known trainer and manager. lis
that he has gone back and he is try
ing to stall the public into believing
otherwise. He's yelping like whipped
dog now just to save his match in Los
Angeles with Johnny Kilbane, the
Cleveland fighter.
The sorriest part OF AttelIs testi-
mony before the commission Is his at
putable physician whose sole aim in In
jecting cocaine into his hand was to
help him. The physician did the same
thing to. AL Palzer before he fought
both Kennedy and Kaufman. It's fun
ny this little treatment should put
Palzer into the championship class and
affect Attell in just the opposite way.
The board of directors of the Ma
tional club has already barred Atteil
from ever appearing in its arena. The
board took this action solely because
of Attell's criticism of it's local physi-
| cian."
| Attell started off before the commits
| sion by claiming his mind was an alb
solute blank during the fight on ac-
count of three injections of cocaine
that the club physician had applied tc
his wounded hand: then he began to
remember incidents of the bout such
as claiming a foul in the fourth and
| cutting Browns eye in the early
| rounds.
! Commissioner John Dixon started the
ball rolling by asking Attell If he al
| ways tried to fight his best.
Always, sir" replied Attell
Every one smiled except the com

"A few minutes later my throat be
came dry and husky and / kept call

fights never took a drink; only wash

Attell explained his defeat at tn.
hands of Matt Wells by declaring in
manner that he dared any one to con
tradict him that the Engiishman was
better man.

Indian Reservation. Sarlaia. Ont.
Dec. IA pretty romance, which
had tragedy for a background. has
just eliminated in the marriage of
Stephen Kiyoshk and Flossie Will
liams. two full FLOODED Indians Of the
Sarnia reservation.
1t was almost . yea ago that HI
yoshk was accused of the murder of
Adam John. a fellow Indian. He pro-
tested his innocence. but circumstan-
tial evidence vas strong against him.
1t seemed that only one person. Flos-
sic Williams, his sweetheart. was con-
WINGED Of his innocence. She not only
believed in him. but testified i'm his
behalf at the trial.
Her testimony was unaNailing. how
over. for Stephen was convicted and
sentenced Il die on June + last.
That might have ended the rom.
ance had not Rev. Walter Grigshy. a
minister Of the reservation. just then
taken Il hand in the case. He had
looked the matter IN on his own ac-
count and had come to tho conclusion
that the young redskin was innocent
Of the crime.
, Rev Grigsby worked like a Trojan
for a pcstponemsnt of the date of
Kiyoshk's execution, and was finally
successful. The authorities agreed to
let the matter go ver until Noven-
her Is.
In the meantime. Stephen was
brought to trial for killing Charles

STILL SHORT OF THE MARK
Silver Service Fund Lacks $4,000 Now
as Result of New Plea That
Has Been Made.

AS a result Of another plea for sub.
scriptions, which was sent out q short
time ago, the North Dakota silver
service fund is now but $4,000 short
of tho necessary amount necessary to
equip the ship. And with the propo-
sition now UP to a number of towns
throughout the state. there is every
indication that the amount necessary
will be forthcoming before Very many
more days.
b. F. Brockhoff, treasurer Of the
commission, said today that the move
ment had taken ON q new life during
the past few days. and that contribu-
tions are coming in rather rapidly.
Nelson. Barnes and Williams counties
are o all paid up. he said. The
towns in Cavalier county have taken
hold of the proposition, n putting
forth every effort to complete the as
sessment. Judging from the contri-
buttons that have bee received. that
count will soon be paid up. Ward
and Bottineau counties are also rapid
~ nearing the sum total Of their as
sessments.

Again Stephen protested his inno-
cence. ilossie testified in his behalf.
but this time she Was charged with
perjury and sent to sail. The jury.
however. believed the story that she
and her lover told. and freed him.
Then vents movcd rapidly. First
! ~ilossia was freed. Then it was de-
cided to grant stephen "a new trial OF
the charge of numbering Adam John.
On giving bail he "as permitted his
freedom.
BY this time everyone in tho
try round had becom" convinced ut
the redskins Innocence. so when it
! WAS announced that Flnssjc and Ste
/, phcn would ut married at tho home
of their henefartor, REV. Gri.sby,
everybody decided to attend.
1t was a fin" wedding. There were
many presents and many we'll wishes,
from all the ncighbors of the coun-
try round. who were Loud in their
declarations of belief that Stephen
was innocent.
stephen probably will not have To
appear for trial again. Like many
other mysteries of the pretty wooded
island where the tragedy occurred,
the deaths of John and Nahdee never
will be solved. The Indians bury
their secrets with their dead. but in
the meantime Stephen and Flossie are
very. very happy.
