COMMENT
By Ed w. Smith.
. HICAGo, March 4.-After


giving the local fans just
a little taste of his style
and making them wish that he
might remain here and show them
the real thing in the lighting line,
Jimmy Clabby is hiking away.
He's going to the Pacific Coast,
there to continue what he firmly
believes will be an entirely sue
cessful march straight toward the
championship among the middle
weight boxers of the day. With
his manager, Larry Lichtenstein,
he is going to Los Angeles. there
to prepare for whatever battles
may be offered in the immediate
future.
I UST the other day Larney got
J a wire from the coast which
asked him if he cared to match
Clabby with Bob McAllister. the
San Francisco boy who made a
good and then a sorry showing in
New York rings. Larney is of the
opinion that the Clabby- MCAllis-
ter battle is strictly a San Fran
cisco attraction, and has so indi-
Gated to the Los Angeles promo
ter.
IN DISCUSSING the peculiar
boxing strength shown by the
Hammond man, Larney advances
hn
can get Jimmy Clabby quickly for
a complete knockout that he
hasn't a chance in the world of
beating him. He further ad-
vances the idea that the Ham
mond man is the greatest distance
battler in the world to-day in any
division, and that he fights
stronger and better after the
tenth round than the ordinarily
good fighter does during the. first
ten.
"THERE never was quite such
a remarkable fellow as this
one Larney remarked the other
evening in discussing his new
protege. For a man who has
few If any natural physical quail
fications, he is one of the wonders
of the world. But he has some
thing that is a fighters greatest
asset in the ring-that is, his
well developed fighting instinct.
He has it stronger than any man
ever handled, and it chiefly
what makes him the great man he
is to-day
HERE'S one man, at least,
that Jimmy won get crack
at for some time to come. His
name is George Clip and he lives
in Newcastle, Pa. Just at the
present time George is merely liV-
ing. His business is that of fight
ing, but his tools are utterly Grip
pie Just now. In his recent bat
tie with Joe Borrel. the hardy
Philadelphia middleweight. Chip
broke his right hand Just below
the thumb joint. He di0n't know
it was broken, and kept on using
it, still further aggravating the
trouble. Hence he will be laid
up for some time,

 Explored the Workings.
 Led by Captain John Knox, general superintendent of the Calumet and Hecla company, the investigators descended into No. 15 shaft on the Amydaloyd vein. Hubert Laux, @ Tom James, mine inspector Of Houghton county, and two newspaper men, accompanied the party. The congressman were given an opportuni- ty to explore the workings on four different levels. Coming to the sur lators doffed their rough garments only long enough to appease their appetites and then went down again, this time into a working on the Cong lomerate vein, where conditions were somewhat different.
 Conditions Improved Since Strike.
 The committee was equally attentive to Laux and Captain Knox, and the former was given full opportunity to point out the things about which he had complained on the witness stand. Laux said, after the days inspection was over, that conditions in the mines were much better than they were be- fore the strike but that the miners had no guarantee that they would con- tinue as they were unless they had the backing of a powerful union.
 Congressman Tackles a Shovel.
 Captain Knox and the mine bosses insisted that working conditions today were not appreeiably different than they had been for years.
 While in the mine the party came on a trammer busy shoveling rock into a car. MT. Taylor thought he would like to try his hand at 1t and he made the dirt fly for a minute or two.

 MT. Howell took the shovel and pitch ed in. He paused after depositing the from Captain Knox whether he was working on contract or company ac- count. "On your own terms" the captain responded, laughing.
 Then let Casey do it," the Utah representative said witI an air of fnality-

In the meantime, MT. Swift ger had disappeared behind a rock and was busy inspecting a one-man | drill when he was reproached By his fellow members for laying down on the job"

Y, Feb. 97.-"Lefty Louie" Rosenburg, one of the four gunmen who will die in the electric chair April 13 for the part they played in the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. made a. statement to- night through his attorney, in which he denied that he and his companions would try to throw the entire blame for the killing upon Charles Becker, as had been reported.
 All the. gunmen talked with the5r Fl counsel, former Judge Charles G. F. Wahle. After the conferences Lefty Iouie'' sent the following statement from the death house:

 Riccio Girl Killed Instantly.
 Without moments warning, the ice slid from the roof with thunderous roar, dropping at least 100 feet before it struck the unfortunate victims. A jagged chunk of ice, weighing half a hundred pounds, struck Marie Riccio on the head. Her death was instan- taneouS the medical examiner said. Her little sister Lizzie, who was near her, was rendered unconscious, but she was received and it was found that she was suffering only from the shock
