CLABBY AND GIBBONS
SIGH FOR GO JAN. II

Chicago, Dec. 22.-The final scratch
of a pen was made yesterday clinch-
ing the match between Jimmy Clabby,
claimant of the middleweight title,
and Mike Gibbons, the st Paul
phantom" for Milwaukee on Dec. /.
1t is going to cost the Milwaukee club
a big chunk of coin to bring together
this classy pair of millers. Every
body knows that Gibbons is a card
and that he draws big money for his
performances. Therefore it is a pref
ty safe bet that he will draw down
as much money as CIabby when they
battle at the Cream City Athletic
club.

Cooke. president Of the Colored Citi-

action Of the state boxing commission

sin rings Is "a deliberate insult"
The action OF the commission is a
violation OF our rights as citizens, 80
said Cooke. IT is a ruling that cannot
hold IN any court of law and the com
mission is exceeding its power in put

Such rulings would hardly result in
any protest. though the colored PEG

SHOW IMPROVED
TYPE OF ENGINE
Producer Gas Motors Feature
of Coming Motor Boat
Exhibit.

One of the most interesting features
of the National Motor Boat show at
| Chicago in February will be the ex-
hibits of the improved types of gas"
engines which are now largely sup
planting steam for service on work
boats in the many industries involving
transportation on western waters.
] The perfection of the oil burning
motors during the past few years and
the reduction to a minimum of their
cost of operation have brought about
their adoption in all classes of serv-
ice and even in the larger installations
on lake and river freighters crude oil
burners of the Diesel type are found
more economical and more efficient
and vastly less cumbersome than
steam. Modern freight hauling boats
on the rivers of Europe use this class
of engine almost exclusively and are
being rapidly adopted in all branches
of service in America. The boats of a
steel barge line operating between st.
Louis to New Orleans and between
New Orleans and the Alabama coal
fields are powered with producer gas
engines and are operated at a cost of
two-tenths of a cent per ton per mile.
The economy of gas power is not,
however, confined to the large freight
boats. but opens a new field and new
opportunity for the small work boats,
such as are used in ferry service, in
fisheries, the claiming Industries and
pearl fisheries of the west. Fishermen
who in years past depended upon the
muscles of their back, find that they
have been able to quadruple their earn
ings by employing the gas engine to
get to and from their work quickly |
and to more easily transport their !
catches.
Among the many wonderful exhibits |
at the Chicago National show will be
American built Diesel engines which !
are used in the larger installations so
economically. One of the features of |
this type of motor is that it consumes |
a non-explosive oil thereby eliminating |
risks and danger. There will be on /
exhibition, also, many of the smaller /
work" engines of the types used so !
in fisheries. ferry service,
etc. They are operated either on kero-
sene or on gasoline. and there are
scores of them in service in this state,
making money for their owners.
