QUINCY'S BASEBALL DEBT
NOT REDUCED BY THE FAIR

Quincys big baseball deficit Great
ed last year looks more and more
formidable as the weeks pass and no
Roadway is made in removing it. Last
week a baseball fair was held but il
was not much of a success. The net
profit, il there was any, was too small
to pay for the trouble according TO the
newspapers of the city.
The fair association spent a big
sum OF money in preparing for the
fair. The entertainment provided
was good and WIS paid for at the Gus
tomary rates. The prizes were val
liable and the profits were not what
they would have been had cheaper
goods been purchased, but the asso-
citation. while endeavOrng to make
money. did not believe in giving its
patrons shoddy for their money. The
cold weather hurt the attendance and
as big crowds were necessary each
night TO make the fair pay, the re-
ceipts will just about cover the eX-
penses.
The one bad feature about the fail
ure of the fair to net a surplus is that
the poor attendance is taken as evil
dence of lack of interest in baseball.
With good support the debt could
have been materially reduced and the
sale OF the club would have very near
~ wiped out the notes which are be-
ing held against the club. AS il is, the
is exactly the same as it
was a week ago.
What will be done now remains to
be seen. Very likely another attempt
will be made TO raise the money need
ed and If this succeeds, baseball in
Quincy next year is assured.

New York. Dec. "a - ~Gunboat'
Smith knocked out Tommy 0IcCarty,
the Montana cowboy, IN the fourth
round at the Empire A c. last night,
after McCarty had made a great fight
against the humping gunner.
The men had just come out for the
fourth round. The gunner, as in the
previous rounds. was set, and simply
teeming with * O.'s" Mccarthy, with
the same carelessness that seemed TO
brood trouble in the earlier rounds,
walked in as wide open as the en-
trance TO Central park.
Smith saw his chance Although he
had missed twenty rights before the
one ne let fly landed full and hard on
M,Carty's unprotected jaw. The
How sent him spinning through the
air. He landed on his head and Shout
ders, and Referee Dan Tone had count
ed only three when he got up II he
ever had a chance this beat him. The
blow took all the fight out OF the game
cowboy.
Battles Like Tiger.
When McCarty got up the gunner
was on him like a tiger. II has been
some time since Smith has had
chance TO show that his hands are
still good He measured poor McCarty
with another right and Tommy went
down again against the ropes, his
head catching on the middle rope,
sending il back with a sickening snap.
Again McCarty proved the green
horn. He didn't have sense emo - to
take a count He got up and Ia dog
ged fashion looked around for the
elated gunner. Smith was right on
the job. He too one look at Nc
Carty's bloody face and then hooked
viciously with his left McCar-y went
down in a broken heap. In last
brave effort he pulled himself erect on
the ropes and reeled about looking for
Smith.
Circles Behind McCarty.
Smith used an old trick here. He
circled around behind McCaTty and it
served to bewilder Mccarthy. Nc
Carty's hands were down and he was
in a critical condition. Dan Tone saw
the danger and pulled Smith away. !
McCarty had TO be led to his corner.
q CORY victim Of his own self conf /

McCarty dashed out right off the
reel in the first round. The gunner 4

report received in Decatur, George NJ.

Reed has not put in an application for
the managership of the Peoria club,
but it is understood that the Peoria
officials are considering giving him a

George Reed would make an ideal
for the Distillers and would
give Peoria just as good baseball as
Rowland did last season. His base
ball ideas differ in many respects to
those of Rowland. but Reed is able to
produce the goods just the same and

Reed has won as many pennants dur
