 Chance passed a large part of his time on the Arcadian's bridge with the ships captain and the Cap grew real chummy on the way here. and the Captain told Chance he will try to see the first game of the American League season in New York. Chance promised the cap the "best seat in the house."
 Though a few members of Chances party were seasick, all were well and happy when the landing was made The day was .beautifu1 and Chance admitted that even California weather was not superior to the brand here That was a big compliment from a

The war in Mexico had nothing on the war at Eagles hall last night when the Liberty A c. pat on 8 box ing show. There was a fine assort- ment Of cracked heads at the Madison avenue emporium and also a choice collection Of Mexican stun such as prevails on the wrong side of the river Rio Grande. There was one regular Knockout, one that looked like a fake and slashing go in which Al Ketchel and Tommy Ginty of Scranton, Pa,
 "we'll never come no more" shout was telling what 8 wonderful show would be given on March 27. The fan, like many others was dfsgruntled because of the sour climax of the come right back with the old one dol lar bill at the next show.
 In the main bout Tommy Ginty out pointed Al Ketchel. The Scranton boy belongs to the Haymalhers' union He carries an ambulance call in either mitt and Ketchel never knew on which Gdnty had the first, second, third, eighth and tenth rounds Retchel had the fifth and ninth and the rest were even.
 From the start Ginty proved sur prise. He rushed out of his corner at Ketche1 and before thA local boy had chance to pull down the blinds, qinty had landed a. couple of swings. The Scranton youngBter forced the fighting in the first three rounds. AL though Ketchel got in an occasional tap, his blows were not so effective as his opponents. Gfnty is built on sturdy lines and is strong enough to go to work.
 His style appeared to baff1e Ketchel although Al made a big improvement in the fourth round Ea vaded right in ana managed to get an even break In the Afth Ketchel did his best fight ing of the evening.
 He c1outed Ginfy on the Jaw several times and Tommy was dazed. He went to the mat once but arose quickly

PAPKE AND
 KLAUS FIGHT
 ON MARCH 5

Paris, Feb. 1s-Btlly Paple and Frank Klaus, two American pugiIists who are contenders for the middle weight championship of the world. very probably will settle their quest contentious by a fight at Cirque De Paris on March 5. Papke, at the time of Stanley Ketchel's death4 was considered an excellent hope in the same class but later met with reverses with Dave Smith, the Australian. Cyclone Johnny Thompson and Frank MantelI.
 Frank Klaus. though he did not get a decision in his own bout with Papke has defeated Mantell, Thompson and others and easily defeated Georges Carpenter, the French hope
 Papke, too, whipped Carpenter, thus again mixing the dope on the mid dleweight fighters.

Tom Jones and Wolgast have had several such little spats, but somehow they always got together again when the proper time arrived.

RUBE WADDELL
 MADE COBB QUIT
Eccentric Pitcher Took Tyrus on Hunting Trip and Tired Him Out.
(sporting News.l )


 Rube WaddelI gleefu11y tells how he made Ty Cobb quit during the Geor- gian's recent visit to Reelfoot Lake. waddell invited Cobb to go out duck hunting one fair, sunshiny day, and Cobb fell into the trap.
 They loaded Ty down with several pounds of ammunition, shotgun, several deooys and a bundle of pro- visions Then they started for the shooting grounds, several miles from the farm.
 WaddeI is a, tireless walker, think ing nothing of tranping IS miles after wild turkey. He hits up a hot pace, too, all the way. On they went, all most at a trot Cobb is some athlete but before long his shoes began to get heavy. He was carrying a. heavy load and was unaccustomed to that form of exercise. Still Wadden kept. on and Cobb was too proud to make any complaint.
 They finally got to their desired To- cation. Cobb threw shot gun, am munitioD provisions and decoys on the ground and sat down abruptly. He wiped his brow, then exclaimed:
 fI don't think much of the plan Of a months training. Four days of this kind of dope would put any man in perfect shape"

WANT FALSE FORWARD
 PASS ABOLISHED NOW
Western Colleges Say Players Take
 Advantage of Rules.

Chicago, Feb 1s-AtheIeaic officials at the University of Chicago are dis appointed at the failure Of the Foot ball Rules Committee to rule against the false forward pass: It was said by Coach Page and Dr. Dudley B. Reed that the frequence of the false forward pass in the West last fall made statute against it essential.
 It was held that many times a player about to be tackled for a, loss escaped the usual consequences by tossing the ball to the ground and making an uncompleted forward pass. Because of being allowed to drop the ball in this fashion, said Coach Page, poor work on the part of the runner escaped punishment, and good work on the part of the defense was over looked.''

 "Grace!" Gregory followed her imploringly, mot Bob Clinton! Hear me, Grace. If you ever marry that man, shall kill myself"
 She laughed scornfully as she snatched open the door.

and the crowd pressed them close to- gether-and she was always beauti- full and divinely formed. The pros pect of complete possession filed him with ecstasy. while Grace herself yielded to the love that had outgnowni all other principles of conduct.
 They gained the street before the courthouse which by courtesy passed under the name of the city square. :" Grace's hand grew tense on Gregorys arm-"Looki"
 Her whisper was lost in the wind. but Gregory, following her frightened glance, saw Robert Clinton elbowing his way through the crowd, forcing his progress bluntly, or jovially, ac- cording to the nature of obstruction. He did not see them and, by dodging. they escaped.
 The nearness of danger had paled Graces cheeks. Gregory accepted his own trembling as natural, but Grace's evident fear acted upon his nebulous state of mind in a way to condense jumbled emotions and deceptive long ings into something like real thought. If they were in the right. why did they feel such expansive relief when the crowd swept them from the side walk to bear them far away from Robert Clinton7

Flight.

To reach the station. they must ei- ther penetrate the heart of the town. or follow the dark streets of the out skirts. In the latter case, their asse- ciation would arouse surprise and comment, but in the throng reasonable safety might be expected. Once in the station. they might hope to pass the hour of waiting in obscurity. since that was the last place that a search wosld be made.
 After the first intense moment of exultation, both began to fear a pos sible search. Grace apparently dread ed discovery as shrinkingly as if her conscience were not clear, and Greg ory. in the midst of his own perturba- tion. found it incongruous that she who was always right, wanted to hide But Grace's hand was upon his arm.

reminded Fran of the others half-for- gotten youth. When a board has lain too long on the ground. one finds, on its removel, that the grass is withered; all the same. the grass feels the suns shine.
 Fran thanked herself that Grace was no longer silhouetted against the hori, zon, and Gregory, remarking this atti- tude of self-congratulation was thrown more than ever out of sympathy with his daughter. Fran was indefatigable in her duties as secretary, but her father felt that it was not the same, She could turn out an immense amount of work because she was strong and playing for high stakes but she did not have Grace's E1ethod7 acal ways-one never knew hoy Fran would do anything, only that she would dc it. Grace was all method, but more than that she was as Gregory phrased it to himself-she was all Grace.
 Gregory missed her every minute or the day, and the harder Fran tried to fill her place, the more he resented It. Fran was separated from his sympa- thies by the chasm in his OWE soul.
 The time came when Gregory felt that he must see Grace again and be alone with her. At first, he had thought they must not meet apart from the world; but by the end or the week, he was wondering what eA- .cpse he could offer to induce her to meat him-not at Miss Sapphira's, where she now boarded, not at the grocery where Bob was always hover ing about-but somewhere remote, somewhere safe. where they mlghl talk about--but he had no idea or the conversation that might ensue; there was nothing definite in anything save his fixed thought of being with her. As to any harm, there could be none He had so long regarded Grace as tne best woman in the world, that even after the day of kisses. his mind con tinued in it's inertia of faith-even the Igravitation of material facts was un- able to check its sublime course
 It was the ciose of July day that Hamilton Gregory left his house re- solved, at any cost-save that or eA- posure-to experience once more the only pleasure life held in reserve TOT him: nearness to Grace Noir.

Helplessly Mrs. lief ferson had watched and waited and now, beholdl there was no more Drag on.
