 O. Someone lead in prayer?
 A. Yes, was one of them, and the other was the roomer.
 Q. What did you do next?
 A. We left at about 12:1O, and the Arizona Club was directly on our way and I did not know what it was but knew it was a saloon. I went in last and we met white fellow and b-5 black negro who made some remark about a Kentucky nigger and asked: "Where'd you fellows come from?' l paid no attention because I thought he had been drinking. I walked over to the other side of the room and he came over and said You didn't an swer my question:" I asked him what asked me where we came from. I said Fort Huachuca," and walked away. I went over to the piano and just as I stepped up to the side of it to put a nickel in the slot, he came over to me again and he accosted me again.
 Q. What did he say? a~>7'R
 A. 1 don't like to say it before the ladies.
 o. Well, say it.
 A. He said You black -, you did not answer my question" I said Look here, mister, I don't like to have any trouble, but I think I an swered your question to the best of my ability" And then I danced little while-about two minutes, I suppose.
 Q. Did you jig?
 A. Mo- just sort of ragged.
 o. Did the fact that the musicians and piano were playing different tunes bother you?
 A. Well, if I remember right, tha! is why we stopped dancing; it mixed us up. And then as I started bac' toward the front of the room, McBee came up again, cursing me and sai again, You black nigger. l want you to answer my question, or I'll kill you" and I started toward the bar. It was then that I saw him have the gun, and said Corporal come over here and make this man let me alone" I don't remember whether or not those were the exact words used because I was excited. Corporal Sewell put his hand on my shoulder and turned me around and we started toward the door, looking over my shoulder at this man all of the time and l saw his step forward, raise his gun, and say Let me get to you, you
 - black -, and I turned like this, drew my gun and fired.

WESTINGHOUSE BOWLERS ENJOY
ANOTHER BIG NIGHT ON ALLEYS
Seyenty-five Primers Compete
in Star Headpin Tourney, De-
spite Stormy Weather.
TWO WATCHDOG WINNERS
Charles Michaeis and Michael
w. Bridge Annex Coveted
Trophies.

1t was certainly a fine showing
which the Westinghouse bowlers
made last night in the third of their
six special nights in the Star headpin
tournament. Considering the un-
pleasant weather it was remarkable
that seventy-five pin knights should
have appeared at the Iroquois alleys.
The manager of the affair was Will
lam Murphy, with Charley Levine.
the well-known local Semi-profes-
sional catcher, as his assistant. They
handled matters in fine style. Last
night was the twenty-first special
night of The Star headpin tourna-
ment, and II was the first rainy ses-
sion that has been experienced since
the tournament got under way Oc-
tober 10.
Charles Michaels was a winner of
a silver watchfob last night, with a
score OF l0S. He hit the headpin
twelve times In a row. He had an
even 100 in the eleventh box and
needed a strike on his last ball to
take one of the gold watch-fobs
which The Star offers to those who
have scores of 110 or better. He had
a cross ball and a fairly good hit was
rewarded by having eight pins fall
for a score of 108.
Michael w. Bridge also took sill
yer watchfob He started with a miss
but he had eleven strais hit hits there
after, following up his mistake in the
first box by accounting for four
strikes. Three mines followed and a
strike for a windup performance.
Here are the scores that were made
last night:

DUFFY AND WELSH
IN DRAW BATTLE
Lightweights Fight Ten Fast
Rounds, With HOnors
Even.
NO KNOCKDOWNS SCORED


BUFFALO, Nov. 20.--Jimmy Duffy
and Freddie Welsh, lightweight
champion, fought ten rounds to a
draw here last night. Duffy put up
the fight of his life, and the fans
were treated to about the fastest
battle pulled off here in many years.
The champion experienced some
tough shedding, but his superior clev-
erness and ring generalship saved
him. The rounds were divided. Welsh
four, Duffy four and two were even.
Welsh was the aggressor and did
most of the leading. Duffy was most
effective at long range, at which
style of fighting he landed his clean
est punches. These were straight
lefts to the face as the champion
bored into him. Frequently he man
aged to connect with three and four
in a series before Welsh could get
inside his reach and counter.
Although the fight was fast one
neither man scored a knockdown,
and both came out of the ring in
good condition. Duffy's right ear was
bleeding slightly and an old cut over
Welshs eye, which had been opened
by one of Duffy's jabs, was bleeding
freely. @
over 10000 persons witnessed the
contest. Welsh received $1,000, his 45
per cent. privilege not going over
that amount Duffy fought for 25
per cent. of the receipts, which
amounted to about $1,000.

The spreading of the war territory

dence that the 1916 Olympic games

Baker "Canned" Because
He Was Weak at the Bat

once upon a time Frank Baker, of

sluggers that the game ever has
known, \ was canned" because of
weak hitting.
1t happened back in 1905 or 1906.
Bakers work with an independent
team attracted the attention of one
of McGraw's scouts. Baker was
signed and turned over to the Balti-
more club, of the Eastern League,
for seasoning. He lasted just short
while, and was let out because he
was a punk fielder and he couldn't

Baker began his career as an out
fielder, but played third base in 1907
with the Cambridge (Md.) team. The
man who discovered him was Charles
Herzog, now manager of the Cincin-
natl Reds. Herzog signed Baker at
a salary of So a week and board to
play with the Ridgley, Md, team. He
played with that club In 1905, went
to Cambridge in 1907, to Reading lin

Trouble in Bout With

YOUNG BELL LIKES WORK

Young West, it is believed, will have

Paddy Kimball, the hard hitting
chauffeur at the Bay View Wheel

been in the ring but few years and
in that time has met several sturdy
opponents. always making a favor
able impression on the fight followers.
His most notable performance was
in a four-round bout against Kid
Beck, of Elizabeth. Kimball, the fans
declare, is a harder boy to defeat
than Beck, because he can hit harder.
West is fairly clever and says he will
stay away from the triphammer blows
OF Kimball.
The second star bout is between
Tommy Allen and Matty McDonald,
while the principals of the third star
number will be Young Bell and Willie
Kane. The appearance of Bel viii
mark his second this week, and he
hopes to gain another victory. Kane
is not a newcomer, and knowing the
style of Bell should put up a good
argument. The usual preiiminaries
