GEORGE CHIP LOOKING
 FOR RING H0NORS NOW
Rx T. $. AndraNss.l

The unexpected Knockout of Frank Klaus. the Pittsburgh middle weight, at the hands of of George Chip, of New Castle, the other night, brings a new contender into sthe ranks of the I5s-pounders for the crown, which has been in dispute since the late Stanley KetcheI was killed Chip has been known as a hardh1tter for the past year or two, but he has never shown much c1everness, and was not consid- cred seriously as 8 real contender for the title However, his knockout of Klaus puts him in the front rank of aspirants and now he will have to be considered along with Eddie McGooE- tsr Jack Dillon, Jimmy C1abby. and Gus Christie. Of course Klaus will be. in the running again, for he is fighter from the ground up, and no doubt he will try to get Chip into an other match. of the six-round variety
 Leo Houck, the Lancaster middle weight is also hiddfng for honors again, and seeks matches with all the leading boys in his lsclass- Houck claimed a victory over Dillon last week in a short round bout but from friends who were present I have heard that Houck could expect nothing better than draw and they thought Jack had the shade.
 with half a dozen middle weights after the title thei promoters should be able to figure out some good matches
 The claim Of the French promoters that George Carpenter has put in a. bid for the middle weight title does not hold good, for the reason that the French boy cannot make the weight. Tn his match with Jeff Smith of New York the other night, he weighed over 1e5 pounds Carpentfer won all right but with an advantage in weight. He no doubt has as good claim to the light heavy weight title as any one. He will 20 out of his class, however. when he meets Bombardier Wells in a return match.

CRICKET WAS ONCE AMERTCA,s MOST POPULAR PAs9TNLE

i Cricket may now be said to be the national athletic game of America, as well as Of England. In America. the introduction has been quite recent, but it is now the favorfte outdoor game, both Of town and country. It lasts from Spring to Autumn, though chiefly in the latter
 ! This was written by sporting chronic1er of 1855, when baseball was just a-borning. Professional cricket in America, which supplied the pre- cedent and incentive to professional baseball, had its beginning just three quarters of a century ago today, on Oct 22, 1888, when picked cricket clubs of New York and Brooklyn played 9 match in the latter city fer $4O0 a side. This was the first cricket match for money ever pulled off in the United States, but within twenty years there were professional players in most of the large cities of the re public, as we'll as in Canada.
 Many English cricket clubs toured America in those days, and these matches always attEacted big crowds One of the most noteworthy cricket feats on record was performed at Rochester in 1859, in a game between George Parr's English eleven and the United States and Canada's twenty two, when J. Wisden, an English bowler, secured six Wickets in six con seeuttve balls
 Many of the stars in the early days of professional baseball had been ericketers. Harry, George and Sam Wright were all cricket cracks. Harry who organized the Cincinnati Red Stockings as the first professional baseball club, had previously played with and managed -spro'' cricket teams, and in that game had learned the value of teac work, which he apz piled to baseball. The Wrights con tinued to play cricket as well as base ball, and when the Boston and PhiIa- deIphia Athletic clubs visited Eng land they played cricket as well as the diam ond pastime. The Americans were victorious in all their contests with the crack cricket clubs of Eng land and Ireland. Harry and George Wright, of the Bostens, and NTcBnde of the Athletics. were the sbowIers for the Yankees. George Wright made the largest score in a match, with fifty runs at Manchester.

May Abolish Switchboard
 At Police Headquarters.

There is an fntimation that the tele- phone switchboard at the police And charities building. recently installed will be abolished after the first of the year or subjected to material changes. That the system, as presently conduct ed. has not proved as satisfactory as expected is openly admitted.
 The omplaints have not been with the service of Mrs. Burroughs and Drew, whose work has been acknowl- edged to be of a superior quality under the conditions One idea has been the addition of two more trunk lines to the switchboard and an operator on duty at all times might remedy con- ditions in a way But even with these changes, the opinion has been expressed in the Departments of Health and Charity that the system would be inferior and not satis- factory as the old method of individ- ua1 telephones.

RETURN BOUT FOR
 SMITH AND MORRIS

Besides the big lightweight attrac- ton between Leach Cross and Willie Ritchie, there are two other matches for which there is 8 great demand just now. In all probability both will be arranged as soon as the lightweight bout is decided One is the proposed Packy McFarland-N Mike Gibbons af- fair and the other is a return match between Gunboat Smith and Carl Morris
 Gunboat's courage when h e demanded that the referee live up to the rules and disqua Iffy Morris for fou11ng, it should give him great satisfaction to take on his gigantic opponent again Should Smith decline another meeting his detractors would never cease to assert that their view of the matter is the true version.
 Until he removes the impression that he lacks courage. Smith can nev- CT hope to gain popularity or have his championship c1adnB acknowledg- ed For these reasons 1t appears to be up to him to delay his proposed trip abroad until he clears up the lit tie matter to the satisfaction of ring followers
 Regarding the fou1ing in the re- cent bout there are some who go so far as to say that Smith was not struck low at all. However, these persons admit they were not in a position to see what was going on. Ssucn being the case, it is obvious that for them to condemn Smith is most unjust If this were all, Smith would be well within his rights if he ignor- ed further dealings with Morris. But there are others who assert that Mor- ris would have won the bout if he had not fouIed.
 That Morris was showing himself to be the better man is merely a mat ter of opinion, but as long as there are those who take this view Smith cannot afford to let the matter rest. The followers of Morris apparently base their belief in his superiority on account of his tremendous advantage i'm weight and strength. 1t is true that Morris was so much bigger and stronger that he had no trouble fore ing his opponent around the ring But he failed to stagger Smith even once with a blow. not counting those which he landed below the belt.

Whether or not he could have continued to TO so until the strain of holding up his weight in the clinches had worn out Smith is the only question. Apparent 1y.8 he did not think so, or he would not have resorted to fouling, not only by hitting low, but also by wrestling hitting over the kidneys, using his glove to shut off Smiths wind, hitting on the breaks and by adopting other rough, foul tactics altogether foreign to his usual style of boxing.

 What'a you think of me now?'

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets mix with the food you eat. The stomach by it's peristaltic action churns and moves the food around the stomach walls, the powerful ingredients in these tablets instantly begin digest ing the food as they are forced through it and around it.
 These tablets regulate the strength of gastric juices. If there is too much acid or aIkali then Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets reduce or dilute these evil con ditions and prevent the frritat- ing and raw stomach which always come with dyspepsia, indigestion, etc.
 It is the very essence of pleasure to a stomach sufferer to know that he can digest any meal if he will only take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after eating.
 The use of one of these tablets after meals will in a very short time restore your appetite to it's normal condi- ton and you will be able to enjoy your food with an old time relish.
 Every drug store carries Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Price 50 cents.

BUCKINGHAM AHEAD
 IN Y. M. C. A.. CONTEST

Intense interest was manifested at the close. of the first days member ship campaign in the Y. M. c. A. and much enthusiasm displayed when 1t was made known that John McGraw Giants occupied a conspicuous place on the score board with five runs to their credit. Capt. E. Taylor Buck ingham was very much encouraged by the first days developments and prom ised even better things by tonight. Capt. John F. Gray, of the Philade1- pTlia. Athletics, held second position with four runs while the Boston Red Sox under the direction of Capt. Alex Robinson had three runs. The Chi cago> Cubs headed by Capt. Allen of the Boys department had two runs to their credit while the Pittsburgh Pirates, Capt. Hugo. and the CIeve- land Maps, Capt. Hall had one run apiece. The total scores represented 27 new members for the Y. M. c. A, a good first days work and gave tn campaign impetus which aims it towards complete success.
 The method of scoring attracted a. good deal of attention and aroused much interest in the various teams and others who are interested in the campaign. The fact that the Giants and Athletics were again engaged in a. hot contest was commented upon
 
 the result of the fight between these two teams. When the scoring closed last night while the Giants had five runs to their credit they had three men on bases. It wiIfS be seen there fore that the first scratch hit this morning will bring in a man from third and a double would clean the bases. The runs by the Giants were made by John Quinlan, Gus Rising and Carl Johnson, while R. Werchan had two runs to his credit and had three men on bases. Werchan is a real Herzog and it is very evident that evening during the contest. Elliott Curtis made one of the runs for the Philadelphia Athletics, Roy Clark an other, while Capt. Gray himself had two runs to his credit. For the Bos- ton Red Sox, Louis Minor made one of the runs and Chas. Schwatlow made two. c. Schwat1ow is giving Werchan, of the Giants, a close race for honors.
