HANKS GIVES
PORTLAND FANS
GREAT BOXING

The boxing exhibition at Portland
Thursday night between Bay Wood
and Jimmy Fasane was stopped in the
first round of the second bout to save
Fasane from further punishment. The
match was a fierce one while it lasted,
Fasane being game fighter, but not
match for the heavier and rougher
Wood.
The preliminaries were lively and
filled with more comedy stuff than Is
often seen at a real circus. In the
curtain raiser the Sand Hill Midget
and Young Bergin of Lewiston battled
each other all over the ring for four
rounds. George Gilbert of Augusta,
introduced by Manager Hanks as
never having been knocked out and
knowing every style of the boxing
game from A to z. and Bill Haley of
East Sebago Lake engaged in a four
round rough and tumble. Gilbert un
covered the "57 varieties" all right
most of which the fans had never seen
before and probably never will again
Haley showed an inclination to make
the bout interesting and could be par
doned for not being able to solve the
ludicrous attack of his opponent.
In the semi-final Kid Taylor of
Skowhegan faced War Eagle of Lew
iston and the six -round engagement
was fast and interesting. War Eagle
uncorked some flashy speed in foot
work but could not do any damage to
the husky Taylor gentleman who has
got a hay-making wallop that makes
him a dangerous man to face. Taylor
had the shade on War Eagle and the
work of both boys pleased the crowd
Manager Hanks announced that the
next card at the Pavilion A. C. would
probably be staged in a couple weeks
and that if his plans went through all
right he would put Bill Fleming up
against Bay Wood. He said that Bay
Wood had put on a little too much
weight for an even battle with light
weight and that he was really welt
er. Mr.. Hanks figured that Bill Elem
ing would be able to give the Fighting
Frenchman run for his money and
if the two rugged mixers are matched
there will be some fireworks that no
one can afford to miss

ASSOCIATED PRESS CATCHES man
Who REVEALED CONTENTS OF The
TELECRAPHIC SERVICE SENT OUT

New York Nov. PHI. L. Under, a
telegraph operator in the employ of
the Postal Telegraph Co, and attach
ed to the office Of the New York Globe,
was arrested here today, charged with
violating section 552 of the Penal law,
in that he revealed the contents of a
telegraphic message sent out by The
Associated Press.
For long time it has been evident
that the dispatches of The Associated
Press were being Systematically stol-
en- and were re-distributed by a num-
Der of smaller agencies to their CHI
ents. A careful watch was set upon
the business and suspicion pointed to
certain men employed in the office of
the Globe, New York evening paper,
as the guilty persons. The case was
considered by the executive commit
tee of The Associated Press directors
at a recent meeting and plan to de-
tect the culprits and bring them to
Justice was adopted.
Copied by Operator
For the purpose of transmitting the
more important news in bulletins,
wires connect the central Office of the
organization at 81 Chambers street
with the editorial rooms of the veri
Gus members in New York. In the Of
flee Of the Globe these bulletins were
copied surreptitiously by H. l.. Linder,
a telegraph operator employed by the
Postal Telegraph Co, and repeated to
the New York News Bureau, Wall
Street concern. Frequently within two
or three minutes after their reception
in the office of the Globe, they ap-
peared on the New Bureaus ticker
and in the reports of the International
News Service, the Central News of
America and other minor organiza-
tons.
Trap Prepared
For the purpose of trapping the wire
tappers, the following dispatch was
prepared:

Dreadnoughts laid down at the kronstadt
yards in 1912 She had a displacement of
$4,000 tons and carried nine 14-inch guns
and 20 5-inch.
The short bulletin wire to the Globe Of
fee was detached from the circuit which
included the other New York evening
newspapers. members of The Associated
Press, so that message should go to the
Globe alone. AS anticipated the dispatch
instantly appeared upon the ticker and
not long after was printed in the papers
served by other news agencies in differ
ent parts of the country. AS soon as this
was done and before it appeared in any
issue of the Globe a notice to kill was
sent out and the telegram therefore at
no time reached the public as from The

The players spent the evening quietly

latter shot was merely to prevent the
helmsman of the launch from holding
his course which would lead directly
on to the mines al the entrance of the

that such an obligation was presented
