VISIONS RISE.

Chicago, Feb. 24-Wheat prices to-
day acted as II on a dead center. Fluc-
tuations for a while did not vary moro
than Nc in either direction. Mainly the
reason was that easier cables were
offset by much colder weather west and
southwest. The opening was unchanged
to " @Ac up. May started at 92M, the
same as the preceding. The close touch
ed 92s and reacted to 929s @92Ac.
Reduction Of the visible supply tend
ed later to advance the market. There
were also sales here to exporters. The
close was firm with May NC net higher
at 93Ac.
Expected lighter receipts made corn
firm. May opened unchanged to shade
off at 52% @521s to 52h and rose to

After little further rise the market
sagged owing to heavy offerings. The
close was easy at 52A for May, the
same as Friday night.
Oats hardened with corn. May which
started sixteenth higher at SAN,
seemed inclined to hold at that level.
There was sharp upturn in provis-
ions. the result Of continued light

pork, $10.65 for lard and $10.b5 for ribs.

WOlGAST AOD MURPHY
IN twenty ROUND DRAW
TERRIFIC FIGHTING AT FRISCO
SATURDAY RESULTED IN
EVEN BREAK FOR MEN.

San Francisco Feb. 2S.--"Harlem"
Tommy Murphy of New York, and
former Lightweight Champion AID VOL
CAST fought twenty terrific rounds to
q draw here Saturday afternoon For
the first ten rounds Murphy had the
best OF the battle, but he tired and
Wolgast evened Affairs by inflicting
severe body punishment a. the fight
neared the final round. Both men
sustained considerable punishment
and were weakening fast AZ the end
drew nigh. Experts expressed the
opinion that Wolgast has completely
recovered from his operation of last
year. The decision was popular.
Wolgast literally fought himself to
the point OF collapse In the gruellinf
twenty round battle Murphy, too. was
tottering when the fight ended. but It
was apparent that his reserve was
greater than that Of his antagonist.
Wolgast fought his best since his ILL.,
ness OF two years ago, but the old time
dash and stamina were lacking. A Sys-
tematic application OF tremendous
right and left drives to the body In the
nnal rounds enabled Wolgast to earn
division Of the honors.
Throughout the twenty rounds there
was little idle time. Murphy took the
bit In his teeth at the outset and II
was not long before he had battered
his opponents face almost to pulp.
Rapid fire right and left facers, de-
livered at close range, seldom went
amiss and when the contest was half
over the Harlemite seemed in a fair
way to win.
In the nineteenth round Wolgast,
fighting with the ferocity OF an animal
at bay, landed SO frequently that MUIR
ply welcomed the sound OF the bell,
while Wolgast smiled to his friends
about the ringside as best he could
with his pulled face and split lips.
The last round resolved itself into q
question of the survival OF the fittest.
Science was forgotten. The fighters
battled all around the ring. head to
head, shoulder to shoulder, and slug
ged away as though the fight had just
commenced, with Referee Griffin fran
tically trying to pull them apart. Three
minutes Of this work found them on
the verge Of collapse, with only the
rope strands saving Wolgast frcm
dropping to the mat from sheer ex-
haustion, while Murphy was eagerly
watching for the timer to clans his
gong.
Without hesitation Griffin raised the
hands of both men aloft, and the crowd
cheered. Both presented q battered
appearance as they were hustled to
their dressing rooms.

LEFT HANDLERS MEET
IN CHICAGO CHURCH
Minister Makes Plea for School "a
Make World Ambldextrous;
criticlses Dictionaries.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Left handed per
sons formed the congregation Of q
south side Methodist Episcopal
church last night. They had been
called together to hear plea for
school instruction that Is intended to
make the world ambidextrous. Ushers
used the left hand in greeting those
attending the services and the pas.
tor, Rev. VIM. Albert Frye, took ad.
vantage Of the occasion to criticise
those who held that right handed per-
sons are In any way superior to those
who just as naturally use the left
hand. He found fault with the die
tionary, which says that the word inn
plies uselessness, weakness and lack
of skill. He mentioned RUDE Mar
guard and Tyrus Cobb as being left
handed persons superior in their
work to any right handed men in
the occupation of baseball playing.
He said that the crown prince of Ger
many and most of the crowned heads
of Europe were either left handed or
ambidextrous.

he had already hit the back trail.

Luther McCarty is being subjected to
severe criticism for backing out OF
the match with Bombadier Wells. The
Garden A. C. offered Luther $4,000 to
box Wells ten round no-decision con-
test. but the very liberal offer was re-
fused.
Fighters are certainly coming high
these days. It used to be that cham
pion could occasionally dictate terms,
but now everybody's doing it. Anyway,
according to Billy Gibson, the local
matchmaker, this particular fighter
comes too high for him, and he has
passed the white heavyweight cham
pion" up for the present, Gunboat
McCarty's action is not calculated
to inspire public confidence in him. Ac-
cording to the dope" he should have
little trouble beating the Englishman.
The Bombadier was beaten by Palzer,
who In turn was stopped by McCarty.
But evidently Luther does not figure
that way and from his refusal Of Glib
sons offer 1t looks IS II he is not quite
SO confident Of his ability to trim Wells
as he processes.
In connection with this heavy weight
mtx-up the strange hesitancy on the
part OF Jess Willard is hard to explain.
When McCarty baked at meeting
Wells, 1t was thought that Willard
would substitute for him. In fact. 1t
looked like the chance Of a lifetime for
Willard as his success meant that Nc
Carly would be forced by public opin-
ion to consent to an early meeting.
which was supposed to be Jess chief
ambition.
70 secure the match willard would
first be compelled to go through with
the long postponed match with Zone
Round" Davis at Buffalo. Several
months ago Jess accepted terms from
a Buffalo promoter to box Davis. but
failed to keep the engagement although
a short time afterwards he boxed some
novice out in Indiana. Again referring
to the dope we find that Willard
should not anticipate trouble in bout
with Zone Round" Soldier Kearns
stopped Davis In round, and Willard
sauelched Kearns in eight. But he does
not appear at all anxious to have the
embargo lifted by carrying out the
contract with the Buffalo organization.
Abe Attell Is boxing promoter. He
has taken charge Of the Forty fourth
street Sporting club formerly tho Ma
tional Sporting club, and informs me
that he will offer the public the very
best attractions liberal policy can
provide, Incidently Attell threatens to
furnish part of the show himself in the
near future with one of his celebrated
"come back" acts. After watching Abe
try in vain to dodge the punches aimed
at his "beak" in recent contest with
Harry Thomas, my advice to the
former feather weight champion is to
stick to the managerial end Of the
game in the future. Abe Is no longer
there as q boxer.

letics last season, and who is under

MEXICAN KNOCKED OUT
YOUNG BROWN IN TENTH
JOS RIVERS PROVED MASTER
OF THE NEW YORKER IN
COAST MEETING.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 24.-A right
swing four times repeated ended the
scheduled twenty round bout at vcr-
non Saturday between "Knockout"
Brow, New York lightweight, and
Joe Rivers Of Los Angeles, with vic
tory for the Mexican before the end
Of the tenth round 1t was the first de-
feat for the blonde German, whose
sobriquet had been earned by the
manner in which he had won scores
Of fights, and 1t was decisive. Five
times Rivers sent Brown to the mat
with his vicious right swing in the
concluding round, three times for the
count of nine. The fifth time Referee
Eyton stopped the fight without
counting.
1t was sensational finish to u fii-
rious encounter In which Mexican and
Teuton battled viciously from the
opening bell. Browns awkward Style
of milling, due to the fact that he
fights left handed, was soon solved BY
Rivers, who blocked cleverly with ell
bow end open glove. Browns BEST
was a left drive to the body, which
he used effectively.
Brown forced the fighting In nearly
every round, but his open manner
gave the Mexican many opportunities
to punish him about the head. Pun

Brown began leading In nearly ev-

allow the German to do the lighting

with both hands at q savage clip that
clearly bewildered the New Yorker.
as well as furnishing him badly. In
the clinches Rivers had all the bet
ter Of the milling.
After taking q hard drubbing for
five rounds, Brown came back strong
in the eighth. A vicious rally in the
last ten seconds by Rivers did not
overcome Browns lead in this round.
Both seemed tired when they came
up for the tenth.
Brown sent two hard lefts to the
head and right to Rivers stomach.
Then the Mexican caught Brown on
the point Of the jaw as the latter
ducked. Brown went spinning half
way across the ring and fell heavily.
-Four times he arose only to be sent
down again. He was 'out on his feet"
when the last savage swing sent him
to his back In the center Of the ring
and the fighting was stopped.
