final round

Neither of the Chicago lightweights,
whose long talked of match has ex-
cited so much interest, boxed up to the
expectations of those who have been
anXiously looking for a meeting be
tween them. Packey showed that he
was the clever boxer. but Britton
proved that he is the harder hitter.
Packey's nose was bleeding during
the last two rounds and his left eye
was Slightly marked as he left the
ring.
Britton did not show any marks of
his encounter other than a small
scratch over the bridge of his nose
The men weighed in under the stip-
ulated 1871 pounds at O'Clock in the
afternoon, but just before they en-
tered the ring they were weighed
again. Britton turned the scales at
135 y and Mcfarland at 140 pounds
The first round was fairly even. but
Britton had the call in the second
during which Referee job cautioned
Mcfarland for holding. Packey's foot
work enabled him to make Britton
miss frequently in the third session
and he Jared Britton with a right
swing to the head which turned Brit
ton half way around. Britton reached
Packey's face and body in the next
round but a right cross from Packey
staggered him.
The next three rounds We're McFar-
lands on points and the eighth also
went to his credit. although his face
and body had been found frequently
by Britton's blows. A short right
hook in the ninth raised a lump on
Packey'S left cheek bone and three
left jabs brought the blood from his
nose. Packey swung a right to the
head in the ninth. but accepted much
more than he delivered in this round
which was Britton'S by a good margin
Both men made extra efforts in the
final round. at the start of which
Mcfarland pushed Britton down on
the ropes Jack was up quickly and
drew the blood again from Packev's
nose with left jabs and two good
rights to the head. Packey hooked a
hard left to the face but Britton sent
back left and right to the body in

Difference of Opinion Prevails in
Yacht Race Challenge.

Yacht Race CnaHenSe.
New York March S.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's challenge for the America
cup will be considered at a special
meeting of the New York Yacht club
called by Commodore Pratt for the
evening of March u. Already diff
ference of opinion has arisen among
the members whether the challenge
had been accepted on the terms pro-
posed by Sir Thomas Upton that the
competing yachts be limited to seven
ty-five feet water line.
The deed of gift provides that the
challenger of a sloop may be any
where from sixty-five to ninety feet
on the water line. The challenger can
elect to sail any water line length
within the designated limits of sixty
five and ninety feet and the defender
has the same right and larger craft
incurs a penalty of time allowance.
BY the deed of gift Sir Thomas can
challenge with a sixty-five foot boat
if he desires and the New York Yacht
club can meet him off Sandy Hook
with a ninety footer, though, of
course, the defender would be COM
PEELED to give heavy time allowance.
Sir Thomas suggestion that both
yachts be limited to seventy-five feet
would bar out the Unbeaten ninety
footer, Reliance, which many of the
Yacht club members believe could
successfully defend the cup.

GRIGGS WANTS RELEASE
Topeka BaIlplayer Dissatisfied With
Montreal Job.

Art Griggs of Topeka, an in and
outer in the major leagues, is a hold
out. He is not satisfied with his berth
with the Montreal team of the In
ternational League and is trying to
buy his release. Griggs was recently
sold to Montreal by Cincinnati of the
National League.
Griggs. whose home is in Topeka,
has never performed here. He at
tanned remarkable reputation as col
lege athlete while going to school at
Washburn and then to the Kansas
University. After completing his edu-
cation, he broke into the professional
ranks as a baseball player in the Tex
as League. After two successful sea-
sons among the prairie dogs, cactus
and sand, he was given chance in
fast company.
He has been playing the majors the
International League or the Ameri-
can Association ever since. The major
leaguers claim that he has all the
requisites OF a major Lacquer except
ing his disposition. They claim that
he just won't play the game as we'll as
his ability will permit. They charge
him with playing Indifferent bail and
with having a disposition that is not
as bright as that of old Sol.
This has caused GriggS considerable
trouble. At least this is said to be re-
sponsible for his transfer from Garry
Hermann's aggregation to the Cana
dian city.
Montreal and probably will refuse to
do so. He is trying to buy his release
that he might go to some town that
will suit him. He complains to the
Montreal management of his legs, but
this is being taken with a grain of salt.
The Montreal management is standing
pat.
The International League team has
depended considerable upon Griggs to
fill a hole in the infield. If Griggs
does not report the hole will be hard
to fill.

Local High School VIII Organize fol
Season.

The high school will have a base
ball team this year, according to Mr..
c. H. Hepworth, manager of athletics.
1t is something that the high school
has not had for several years and as
there is some good material in the
school there is no reason why a win
ming baseball team cannot be organ
lied as well as a winning football and
basketball team. There will also be
about twenty interclass games played
besides the games played by the
regular high school team. There will
be a loving cup for the team with the
highest percentage in the interclass
games. The games will be played on
the Washburn field and season tickets
will go on sale for the baseball games
to be played here.

beauty to the hair and is splendid
for daLdruff, dry, feverish, itchy
scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it

taking one strand at a time. b.
the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two
it becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
