Jimmy KiIroy After Bouts for Dutch
Hagen-None Are Barred.

Jimmy kllroy, the North Side hght
manager, is acquiring pretentious
stable of mitt singers; and is hot on
the trail of the big guns of the fistic
game.
, Right now kiIroy is pinning his
faith on Dutch Hagen a welter-
weight, who has made an enviable
record in Canada, where he cleaned
he cleaned up some good men. The
only blot on Hagen's record is a
knockout at the hands of Spike Kelly
back in 1911, and Kilroy believes his
young man is about ready to reverse
matters with Kid Towards protege.
So far KiIroy's efforts to match
Hagen with Kelly have failed, but
Jimmy is a persistent cuss, and in
tends to stick to the task until the
mill is arranged.
Failing to get eKIIy, KiIroy is will
ing to pit his man against Sailor Bill
Walters or Tommy Shean.
This Hagen person is a regular
fighter, and does not stand on cere-
mony when a mill is in prospect.
Hagen has been in the fight game
for three years, but only lately has
begun to make any strikes toward
the head of the ladder.
Though most of Hagen's fighting
has been done in Canada, he was
born on the North Side, in neigh
borhood where a fellow has to fight
to get along.
With KiIroy to manage him, and
see that he does not take on any bad
mills, Hagen looks like a conner.
President Tener of the National
League says his umpires must main
tain order on the field.
If they make good the president
should summon them to maintain or

Gents, Meet Mr.. chip-He Knocks
Off Their Old Blocks.

There is no question now of George
Chips license to claim top honors
in the middleweight prizefighting sec
ton.
Chip knocked Frank Klaus out in
the fifth round at Pittsburgh last
night, repeating his victory of a
month ago. The fact that it took
him one round less to finish the job
this time indicates that he is a young
man who profits by experience, and
learns the style of defense his adver-
sary employs.
Klaus was not actually counted
out, but he was in a semi-conscioua
condition on his feet, and the referee
stopped the fight to save the Pitts
burgher additional battering. His
hands were hanging at his sides, and
his bruised and swollen face was an
open target for the knotty fists of
the Greek. ...~
Chip did not give any fancy exhibit

win decisively. From the first gong

force him to slow up. Chips whirl-

Klaus, who was cautious. He pre-
scented defense that was easily per-

Greek sent home punished.
No one blow. knocked Klaus out.
He was subdued by a rain of

learned the two men were being held

Advices to the department yesterday
indicated that another attack on the
northern city of Monterey is threatened
by the revolutionists. In consequence OF
this menace, all the wealthy Mexican
residents of that city. as well as most
of the Americans and other foreigners,
are reported TO be Fastening TO make
their escape. Three hundred arrived on
one train at Laredo, Tex, from Monte

The capture and sacking of Victoria by

100 Rebels now are engaged in tearing
UP the railroad track between Victoria
and Gonzales, making communication
with Tampico impossible. Durango is
reported quiet. about twenty Americans
remaining in the city. At Torreon there
are about forty Americans left, and about
twenty more in the immediate vicinity.
From Tampico ii is reported that the
strike of employees Of the works there Is
still on. 1t is said representatives of the
oil company and the strikers have gone
to Mexico City to attempt a settlement
of the strike. There was evidence yes
terday that the reports that the British
oil companies on the east coast had re-
fused to furnish the National Railways Of
Mexico with any more fuel oil for the
railroad locomotives, despite its contract
to supply oil, are without foundation.
There seems to be reason TO believe that
the reports were put forth through
sources friendly to a rival American oil
company. Not the slightest confirmation
has been received at the State Depart
ment from Mexico. and it is known there
that an American oil company, long a
rival of the Cowdray, or British COM
pany, has been interesting itself in the
matter
