Packey Tries to Slug.

Mcfarland tried TO outsIug his op-
ponent in the next period. but although
the latter was beginning to weaken,
he staggered packey with several blows
to the head and still maintained his
lead
Mcfarland came up with smile in
the eighth and fought with his old
confidence He outboxed and out
punched Gibbons, and continued his
advantage in the final round, being
strong at the finish and master of his
opponent. The long lead that Gibbons
had gained in the earlier rounds. how
ever. was too great to he overcome and
the consensus of opinion was strongly
in favor of the ST. Paul boxer as the
winner on points of the largest purse
ever offered for SO short and n deci-
sionless bout.
\ throng which was estimated at
5000 witnessed the contest, almost
entirely filling the immense arena which
originally inclosed a third of a mile
motor cycle track. More than two
hours before the principals entered the
ring lines of spectators extended for
blocks away from the entrance and
roads leading to the arena were blocked
with double lines of motor cars From
sea of faces which grew DINNER until
they faded into innumerable rows of
white blotches to the very edge of the
Enclosure. Several Thousand women
were scattered among the spectators
which included large delegations OF
boxing enthusiasts from as far west
Chicago and Cleveland and below
Washington into the south.
Gibbons the Favorite.
Gibbons was the favorite in the
wagering at odds ranging from to s
to to 1, and, while no large sums
were staked, there were hundreds OF
small bets. so great was the interest
in and difference of opinion regarding
the outcome of the bout. A cluster OF
forty-odd powerful arc lights shed 2
clear light over the ring and permitted
the taking of moving pictures.
The official announcer introduced ar
innovation whep he fired several shots
from pistol in order to silence the
vast throng before attempting to make
announcements regarding the weigh,
and conditions of the bout.
A purse of s32, 500 was divided, sf7.

District Tennis Champion Wins
Finals Of Mems Singles.
0UTCLASSEs HIS OPPONENT
Victory Achieved in Three Straight
Sets in Columbia Club
Tourney.

The annual fall tennis tournament
of the Columbia Country Club finished
up it's principal events yesterday aft
ernoon with the finals OF the mems
singles, Connie Doyle defeating Albert
Gore in three straight sets, 6-4. Ga
and 6-1. The mixed doubles, women's
doubles and the consultations are yet
to be finished, and they probably will
be settled by Wednesday at the out
side.
With the prospect of seeing some
clever tennis, many close followers of
the game journeyed to the Columbia
Club grounds and when the Doyle Gore
battle opened a large gallery was on
hand to witness the sport.
Put Up Game Fight.
Gore put up a game struggle against
the District champion in the first two
sets, but he was simply outciassed
and in the third set Doyle won out
with plenty to spare in reserve power.
The exhibition was a good one to wit
ness. as both men made many pretty
recoveries and back-hand returns,
while in lobbing and smashing points
were scored at unlooked-for periods
that called for unstinted applause from
the onlookers. Doyle is undoubtediy
in a class by himself around this part
of the country and Gore deserves great
credit for the showing he made. as he
knowingly went into the match with
the odds against him.
Doyle in Splendid Form.
Doyle at the present time is in splen-
did form, and his friends are hoping
that it will continue SO through the
coming District tourney. to be held at
the Dumbarton Club, as several out-of-
town cracks are expected to be par
ticipants therein.
Interesting matches were played in

ported yesterday to have decisively

west of Aqua Prieta, the Villa troops
were reported as fleeing in all direc-
lions.

held against cannon and rapid-fire
guns.
During the fighting 800 Of Acosta's
men deserted to Gales, according to
the report, which estimated the Villa

Gales did not report his own casual
ties. though they were claimed to be
relatively small by officials in Aqua

According to Garduna, Gan. Gales in
tended to press forward to Cananea as
soon as he received ammunition.
Villa representatives here refused to
admit defeat, saying that the battle
still continued, near Lamorita and that
