JIMMY CLABBY
SECURES TITLE
Is Regarded as Undisputed King
of Middleweights Now

American promoters need no longer
scour the country for a boxer worthy
To fill the shoes of the late Stanley
Ketchel, who was an invincible mid
dleweight. Jimmy Clabby has saved
them that trouble Now they can get
busy selecting suitable opponents for
the clever Norwich middleweight Clab-
by sailed off to Australia to fill a series
Of ring engagements. Now he is ready
to return home az the middle, light
heavyweight and heavyweight cham
pion Of the Antipoles. This feat has
never been accomplished before by one
man in Australia. Among the men
whom Clabby defeated in decisive
manner were Eddie McGoorty and
Dave Smith, two serious contenders
for the middleweight title.
Clabby is "a New Englander by birth.
He first saw the light of day in Nor
wich, Conn, July 14, 1890, and in con-
sequence is "a years of age. lie began
his public ring career when he was
only 16 years Old and has had re-
markable record. He is . feet Sla
inches tall, has reach of "A inches
and can easily make l54 pounds ring
side. He is a genuine middleweight
and not a boiled down heavyweight.
as are many of the contenders for
Stanley Ketcheps crown.
In the eight years he has been in
the ring he has fought more than 100
contests, and while he has lost several
decisions on points, he has only taken
the count once, that being when he
was II years old. ON the contrary, he
has won "a bouts by the knockout
route, eight being i'm the first round
and nine i'm the second. In all, he has
fought $50 rounds, a truly wonderful
record for n youngster.
Clabby possesses great class, as a
glance over the record will show. He
has met the wizard of the ring. Mike
Gibbons, three times, winning ten
round decision i'm St. Paul the latter's
home town. and boxing two ten round
no-dccision bouts, one i'm Milwaukee
and the other in New York. In these
contests with Gibbons he proved that
he was student Of the game.

SWEDEN'S TEAM
WORKING HARD
War Does Not Stop Preparations
for the Olympic Games

In the event OF the 1916 Olympic
games being held, 1t seems likely now
that Americas most dangerous oppo-
nent will be Sweden. The terrific war
into which England. Germany, Russia,
Finland and France have plunged will
put these countries back so far in
athletics that the Swedes, coached by
the astute Hjertberg, will easily out
score hem. This prediction is based
on the assumption that Sweden will
not be drawn into the general Euro
pean war Though the Swedish army
is now at fun strength, no reserves
have been called to the colors, and
unless the reservists are called, Swe-
denis athletic development will go on
as usual.
1t is not likely that Ernie Hjertberg
will overlook the opportunity to land
his team up near the top again. The
Old War Horse" will work harder
than ever To develop material for the
purpose Of putting Sweden ahead OF
the European countries in the 1916
games.
With international competition in
Europe suspended the Swedes will
make a great effort to send thor
oughly representative team To the
Panama Pacific games at san Fran
cisco next summer. Barring the
sprints Hjertberg's team can present
men that viii make it interesting for
Americas best in all branches of track
and field sports.

The big racing spars arrived some

were several of them.
The Erin also brought over two CEN

c. COMISKEY IS
LUCKY MACNATE
Gets Great Battery Talent for
Small Expenditure

Sheer luck and baseball intuition
have made Charles A. Comiskey the
most fortunate magnate in the world
in picking up great catchers and pitch
ers, says a Chicago writer. Just think
Of it. Comiskey corraled six Of the
greatest slabmen in captivity worth
in cold cash, more than 100000, If
they could be bought at all, and Com
my bagged them for a mere song.
Schalk cost the most of all these celc-
brities whose names will adorn the
hall OF fame in the great pastime.
Comiskey paid $4,000 in cash and
players for the release of this young
catching phenomenon from the Mil
waul<ee club. Schalk could not he
purchased now, for Comiskey Is in the
baseball world to remain. He values
the esteem and good will of the fans
above all things else, and knows he
couldn't part with Schalk and retain
that respect--so that settles it.
"Schalk is the greatest young catch
er | ever saw" was the spontaneous
exclamation of John ]. MeGraw after
seeing the little catcher in action last
fall. LaudatOry remarks about the
SoX pitchers are common in the big
baseball centers. The earned run
proves their superiority It's joke to
ask Comisl<ey to sell one of his sex
tette of star pitchers. The Sox owner
dreams of the day when the worlds
pennant will float from his baseball
stadium on the south side. He has
the pitchers ana the catchers to reach
this goal. Now he's after the ALTERS.
Ii Fournier keeps on ComIskey VIII
have his first 800 hitter in many day.
IL sell Ed Walsh-not on your life
said Comiskey recently. Nor would
have released him il he hadn't come
back-not so long as | own this ldll
club. Eds with me to stay while | re-
main i'm the game" This is the way
Comiskey feels about his great collec-
tion Of slab stars. The old Roman has
warm place in his affections for sll
TIE boys, and now that they nave
signed long contracts despite Federal
league offers, the chances are they
couldn't be bought at any price Luc-
ky--well, that word hardly describes
it. Good fortune has followed him in
al, his moves in his evertfui baseball
career
Walsh, Scott, Benz, Russell CiCotte,
I>uhn and Faber-seven of the bright
est battery stars in the major league
firmament--cam to Comiskcy at a
combined figure probably little in ex-
cess OF $4,000 Walsh was obtained
from the Newark club for a mere tri
he. Scott was tipped off to Comis-
key by one of the CantiIlOns n life
long friend and signed by the Sox
owner at a small figure. Benz was
purchased from the Batesvillc club for
almost nothing, and farmed out to Des
NJ oines, where he ripened into a star
Cicotte, a cast-off OF the Boston Red
Sox, was purchased from the Hub
organizations for a few thousand dol
lars. Comiskey wouldn't take $4,000
for Eddie now, and that sale lis looked
upon as one Of the luckiest strokes of
fortune recorded i'm many a year in
the big leagues.

prahistorie Mine Tools.

The excavations at the prehistoric
flint mines at Crimes Graves, near
Thetford, Norfolk, which were begun q
month ago by the Prehistoric Society or
East Anglia, have already yielded many
interesting results.
Crimes Graves are $50 hollows In q
pine plantation, which have been found
TO be openings of shafts sunk by pre-
historic Britons in order to obtain flint
from the chalk. One shaft, about 30
feet deep. has been cleared out. 1t has
been found to be IA feet in diameter at
the base, as compared with % feet at
the mouth. From the base seven tun-
nels diverge, two of which are 80 feet
long, though their height Is only about
two and one-haf feet.
The ancient miners used picks made
from the antlers Of the red dear, from
which all the tines, with the exception
Of the brow tine were removed. When
these broke or became blunted they
were thrown aside, and about so dis
carded specimens have been discovered.
Various occupation levels were discov-
cred down the shaft, with q number Of
hearths and quantities Of charcoal. A
human skull was found Is feet from the
surface, imbeded In chalk rubble.
The other discoveries include bones Of
various animals which formed the food
of the miners, large quantities OF mol
luscs, quartzite hamamerstones, and
thousands OF flint flakes and imple-
ments, including q fine ak seven and
one-half inches in length.

CHAPTER Kill
THE STRANGE BOY.

Two years slid past noiselessly, un-
noticed, and 1t was vacation time; 1t
was August of the year 1924. The
Valley of the Jura was all afloat on a
sea OF scarlet peoples. They grew
higher than the corn, and the wind
tossed the waves OF them against the
sunlight, and the sea OF them glittered
silver, pricked with million gold-red
points: then the wind tossed the thou
sand, thousand waves back toward the
sun, and the land-sea was shadowy,
streaked with flame unendingly. The
little riYer--the Cheulte--rushed down
between the fields Of gold and scarlet
In its immortal hurry, murmuring over
the stones. The old chateau OF VIC
ques--the ruin--lay back behind the
corn fields and smiled In hot sunlight
at the two thousandth ocean OF color
which had washed the land up to its
crumbling walls, since the Roman gov
ernor piled the old gray stones.
A tail lad Of IL, another boy, shghter,
quicker, darker, and d little girl Of AZ
In a short white dress, wandered
through the ruins. talking earnestly

There are a number of ways to
