Former Norwich Boy Ali to the Good,
 According to Otto FIoto.

Tn the bout between Jimmy C1abby
 of Milwaukee and Howard Baker at the Denver Athletic club arena, the for mer won by so wide 8. margin that comparison seems ridiculous. That the victory was not more decisive, one with a knockout accompaniment and other trimmings was solely due te the defensive tactics of the Bau1deF man.
 The visitor from start ta finish as- stunned the aggressive. In raund suc- eeediag round Clabby led and counter ed- However, he was seriously handi- capped from the fact that the enemy refused to retaliate. Those not faHil- jar with the finer points of boxing fail to realize how hard it is to defeat a man who is constantly on the retreat.
 Like a flash Cabloy would send his left to the mark. Sometimes it pene- trated the breastworks which the fore arms of Baker threw up around his head. When it reached the spot there was always shaking up, and then into an embrace both fighters would find their way. The holding and wrest- ling about the canyased floor sapped much of the strength of both men to- ward the close of the engagem ent. CIabby gave evidence of this by miss ing time and again. He himself claims this failing to land effectively was due ta his great anxiety s knock Baker

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCKS IN BRISK DEMAND.
Gains of Two Points or More Recorded
 by Standard Issues.

New York, Jan. 30.-Trading was on 8 considerably larger scale today in both bonds and stocks. The market lost the uncertain tone of the previous session and vigorous advances were made through the list Almost all or the leading stocks were in brisk de- mand, and gains of two points Of more were recorded among such stan dard issues as Reading, Union Pacific, Steel and Amalgamated. Profit ia King sales in the last hour largely reduced the advance.
 The improvement in the tone of the market could not be said to be due to any positive new influence, for the day passed without the introduction of any factor of sufficient importance to ac- count for the chief tracing. APpar- ently the movement was directed ch1ef- ly against the short interest from which came a large part Of the de- mand. This view of the days opera tions was supported by the manner in which once or twice during the ses- sion, prices were marked up buoyant- ly as bear traders rushed to cover.
 Further manipula ton on large scale of American Can stocks had much to do with the markets activity. The common stock was pushed up over 5 points to 45 3-4. within less than Z points of the high mark reached last October. The preferred moved up 3-4 to 129 1-2...

COBB RESPONSIBLE FOR
 MANY HOLD OUTS.
President Navin Says Georgia Peach 0auses Trouble by Big Demands.

President Nayin of the Detroit club
 says: q am sincere in my belief that
 Cobb's present demands, as well as his
 demands hitherto, are in a great meas
 ure responsible for the many hold
 outs in recent years. Other stars tell
 their employers Cobb is getting big money, and then they insist they are
 worth a salary which they consider their just due. In other words, the players are Jealous on account of Cobb's salary. Every time Cobb wants a raise these players loook Nor a raise, too, and argue if Cobb is going to get so much money then they should get a salary in proportion to Cobbs I un- standard by which he came to terms with the Cleveland club. It was the same old story. Cobb gets this amount for hitting just over 400. and I get this amount for hitting just below 400, was the basis of Jackson's argument. However, Jackson is only one of many cases. And, of course. the other play CTS estimate their value from the sal- aries paid to the stars, so Cobb there fore sets a standard all around. The Detroit club has had to put up with this Cobb nuisance forvsome time All our players want a raise because Cobb
 init Cobb ifs the greatest ball player that ever lived, and is the biggest in- dividual asset the Detroit club pos sesses, but we will be firm in resisting Cobb's efforts to hold us up for big increase in salary. Cobb is now draw ing large salary, as baseball salaries go, and ifshe cannot see his way clear to signing at our terms we will have to get along without him.

Sale Starts Saturday, Feb.

The Sex president made this remark during a conversation when ask ed how much he thought a big league baseball player ought to save during his career on the diamond. McAleer put the figure at some s30,oo0. The av- craze life of a ball player, who takes care of himself, in the big league is not much more than ten years. Most of them enter about 22 or whereabouts. A good player ought to make about $3,500 a year; an exceptionally good one more-up to from 5000 to $7,000 or $S, 000-after he becomes 8 star. There are many frugal ball players, and McAleer's figures must be based upon the ability of those fellows to save two thirds or three fourths of their baseball salaries, earning enough in the winter to make up the balance of the cost of living. A hustling ball player@one of the kind who gets into the big leagues and sticks-ought to make $40,000 or $5o,0o0< during his ca reer, even if he never particip ipates in any worlds series and never becomes star McAleers belief that he can save $30,000 is based upon the fact that a players necessary expenses are slight in the playing season. and he ought to be able to make enough dur ing the six months 1ayoh to allow him to save thirds of three-fourths of his salary.

out He said. T had been told SC much about the impossfbility of knock ing Baker out because he covers up so completely that one cannot reach the jaw, that for that reason I was too anxious and missed several blows that would have done the wori1''
 Ciabby by his showing established himself as a prime favorite with Den yer fght-goers, in addition to giving evideace that one of the best middle weights in the country comes from Milwaukee. He has all that the real fighter requires. His left hand works in a dexterous fashion. and has a kick behind 1t, while his method of crossing with his right was a revelation to many. True. he had but few oppor- tunitieS to demonstrate 1t, but the times that he did Baker went to the floor. Both knoolxdowns were the re- suit of that right cross counter to the jaw.
 The exhibition that Clabby gave was and for those who love boxing and en- joy. the sport when presented in it's highest form, the evening spent at the cattlemen's smoker will not be regret ted Clabby has learned his little les son and learend it we'll Unfortunately he finds himself in class that carries worries and hardships with it. He is too heavy for a welterweight and too light for middleweight. As the vel ters will not concede weight to him, he must give away poundage to men heavier than himself in order to se- cure opponents. For that reason he must cast his lot to chance in match ing himself against the men he fights.
 The fighter with good left hand has an asset that figures 50 per cent in his fighting appraisement. The Milwaukee man is blessed with the ownership of as clever a left hand as we have seen in many days. He .feints cleVerly and knows how to follow up any opening or advantage that may present ise1f In addition to this he has plenty of steam" for all occasions. This makes him stand out with class written all over him.
