The George W. Moore company. manufacturers of elastic fabrics and owner of the property formerly owned by the Westerly Narrow Fabric com pany, fronting on Beach street, has just purchased adjoining property which increases the holding of the Moore company from two to ten acres Of land. This property was formerly owned by the Westerly Development company and was sold to George w. Moore by Frank W. Coy Thursday aft ernoon. The newly acquired property will not only give opportunity for de- Velopment of the industry, but will also give the company opportunity to erect dwelling houses for employees. It is a solution of the problem of a scarcity of tenements in so far as it affects this company. The Moore company came to Westerly without any blare of trumpets and has been doing suc- cessfuI and evidently satisfactory busi- ness, which will be farther increased by the added real estate. which will soon be improved.

Wins by Wide Margin

Detroit night at the Windsor arena
last night was marred because the To
ledo talent sent To oppose Sammy
Taylor and Frank Brennan was com
pletely outclassed Jack Sullivan, the
lightweight who was selected as Tay-
lor's opponent. was saved from sure
knockout in the third round, when
his manager tossed a sponge into the
ring. This is the first time that a
sponge has been used in that ca
pacity at Windsor In seven years, say
the old-timers.
Brennan was not SO fortunate,
George Lewis sticking out the full
eight rounds, but that wasn't alto
gether Franks fault Lewis devel-
oped an amazing affection for the De-
troiter. who found II extremely diff
cult to strike person who was con-
tinually clinging TO his neck. Bren-
nan did get in a couple OF moments
OF punching, once In the sixth and
once in the eighth. and really should
have put over a knockout in the for
mer round II was his fight, however,
by wide margin.
IL was a shame that the Toledo
scrappers did not show more ability,
for both Detroit boys were In the pink
OF condition, and could have given
anybody a battle. AS IL stands now.
both Taylor and Brennan deserve an
other chance 10 show their class be-
fore the season is over Taylor, in
particular, looked good last night.
Never has his wallop been more null
ish, and in disposing of his opponent,
he displayed more generalship than
has been the case in the past The
lightweight Is learning fast. and by
another year should be a top-notcher.

Willie Averaged Sl5,166 For
Each of Half His Dozen Bouts
AS Champion

The loss of the lightweight title was
doubtless sad blow 10 Willie
Richie. but he can console himself
with the gratifying knowledge that
he got his Although he held the
championship for period OF only
20 months, Richie probably made II
pay higher dividends than any other
title holder, with the possible excep-
ton OF Jack Johnson
Richie won his title on Nov. IS,
1912. He lost possession OF it July
Z, 1914 Between those dates he ac-
cumulated the respectable fortune OF
about Sl2l.O00, including his receipts
from theatrical engagements. He re-
ceived nothing but the title when he
won on foul from AID Wolgast in
10 rounds at San Francisco, but the
honor was the entering wedge TO his
fortune.
Being In mathematical mood, let's
analyze this competence of Ritchie's.
We find that he averaged Sl5,166 for
each OF his six champion fights These
six titular battles aggregated 81
rounds Willie knocked out Rivers

SHUCRUE WINNER
OVER FRED WELSH
Only NO-DecisiOn Law Saves
Lightweight Champion
His Title

NEW YORK, Dec 3.-The only
reason Young" Joe Shugrue. or Jer-
Sey City isn't hailed as worlds light
weight champion today is that the
New York boxing law prohibits de-
cis;ons. If decisions had been per-
mitted last night Shugrue would have
been officially declared the winner
over lightweight champion Freddie
Welsh
In nine OF the ten rounds fought at
Madison Square Garden, Shugrue was
the aggressor and we'll in the lead.
There is a wide difference OF opinion
among sporting experts today .wheth-
|er the other round was Welsh's or
merely draw In that round Welsh
landed more often. but the wallops
Shugrue sent home had more steam.
Four of six New York papers today
declare Shugroe won by a large mar
gin. The other two give the Jersey
City hghter shade" the better OF
the bout
Welsh constantly appeared TO be
saving his right hand. which led 10 the
belief that he hurt 1t worse than he
and his manager Will admit. during hrs
scrap with Yolle last week. He was
decidedly not In the same shape as
when he fought Ad Wolgast here.
ShugrUe, on the other hand, was In
great condition and apparently un-
n. indful OF the few blows which
Welsh managed TO land with full
force
Undoubtedly. the titleholder greatly
.underestimated Shugrue and paid the
usual penalty

while champion. That's a little bet
ter than living wage
Although Welsh is tightlng more
often than Ritchie-he has already
fought as many times in the five
months he has held the title as viii.
lie did during his entire titular ca
reer-he has not received anything
like the money Richie was paid for
his efforts. Like Richie when he
won the title, Welsh didn't receive a
penny in the bout that netted him
the championship.
While Richie was paid far more
per bout than Welsh. the latter's
earnings per month were greatly in
excess OF the formers. The Welsh
man has averaged almost $500 dur
ing the five months he has held the
title, assuming that his last two
matches and the one with Shugrue
last night, Melted him the estimated
$4,000.
Welsh then has fought total OF
"a rounds as champion. He re-
ceived $3.50 per round. or 1888 a

After rafting around aimlessly in|
the second division for years like an

FOLLOWING his recent secret visit TO
New York and Philadelphia, which II
was said at the time had nothing 20

but has meant big loss every year
for the other clubs in the league. Ii
has been estimated that the condition
OF the Yankees cost the other seven
clubs about $4,000 annually. A pen.
nant winner would, therefore, help
the whole league.
Ii is certain that the Yankees are
in need OF some assistance from some
body, for nothing has been done 10
strengthen the team since the season
closed. No new players have been
secured, and the team at present lines
up exactly as IL did when IL finished
the season-in sixth place.
This fact lends color TO the first
aid story. 1t has been rumored that
Frank Navin's visit to New York
might result in a swapping bee, but
nothing has developed to corroborate
that guess.
