Referee job Gives Draw
Decision i'm an Interview

New York. Sept 12.-william Joh.
referee of the McFarland-Gibbons af-
fair at Brighton Beach Saturday night,
gave it as his private opinion after,
the bout that the result was a draw.
Joh expressed his opinion through
a newspaper and while II is not in
any way an official judgment 1t shows
how the fight would have gone into
the records were referee decisions
permitted.
The opinion Of Damon Runyan was
draw, although Jack Curley, the
famous fight promoter. gave it as his
personal judgment that Gibbons had a
shade Bat Masterson, Of the Morn
ing Telegraph, called 1t a draw. So
did the Times.
Some of the New York papers gave
Mcfarland a shade and some favored
Gibbons. There was the same differ
ence OF opinion among the out-of-
town experts present at the ringside,
so far as the result was concerned,
but on one proposition nearly all
agreed, and that is that the fight was
a big disappointment.
Around the resorts where the
sportsmen congregated after the bat
tie to talk ii over many a voice was
raised in denunciation Of the affair.
A lot of men prominent in the
world of sport did not hesitate to ex-
press their opinion that the fighters
were not trying at any stage of the
contest, which is easy enough to say.
but impossible to prove.
There was much comment on the
fact that Mcfarland did a lot or
slapping with his open gloves, but
then Packey always fought that way

STATEMENTS BY THE
PRINCIPALS OF FIGHT

By Mike" Gibbons-Do think
won? most certainly do. I
thing that "Packey" is the best
man I have ever fought and a
thorough sportsman. thought that
l had Mcfarland on the go several
times, but he weathered the storm I
attempted to create in good shape.
The heat from are arc lights bothered
me considerably and made my head
feel giddy at times, otherwise I was
in good shape throughout Yes. Nc
Farland made me miss many times,
but he is SO clever that he'd mans
any one miss. I am going to take the
$4,000 I got out of this bout and
invest it in good farming land in
Minnesota. I will leave this after
noon for my home in st. Paul and
then spend three weeks duck shoot
ing. which is my favorite sport.
By "Packey" McFarland-I think
that / won. I think that Gibbons
had the better of but two of the ten
rounds. He was certainly the hardest
man I have ever fought. His best
blows were those which reached my
body. as blows to the face and jaw
were Ineffective. Yes, will con-
tinue in the boxing game IL can
get the money for a bout which l
think I'm entitled to. Just at present
am arranging to go back to Chi
cago and arrange for the purchase of
business, in which I will invest
$4,000. I am very well pleased with
the reception accorded me by my
friends here. and hope that ] may
get another chance to box before
them. Ny wife. who has never seen
me In . boxing bout, has much to do
with what ! may DO In the future

Shugrue afford to step down and out of
the eyes of the sandlot fans?

Chittum. the Portner receiver, either
had an of day or he ranks among the
"also rams" as a catcher. His efforts
were the poorest ever witnessed. Shug-
rue hit a high fly In the infield which
Chittum elected to gather. but the ball
got away from him, and instead Of allow
ing it to roll foul. he attempted to get
Johnny who was safely anchored on the
initial corner. Dropping foul flys was his
speciality, but passed balls also counted
in other boners which he pulled.
Larry Eidsness, manager Of the cham
pion Agriculture team, known in local
ranks as the Lee Meadows of the sand
lot game" is the happiest man in the
world. Every one Is with you, Larry.
You got the club and 1t delivered.
At the end Of the eighth inning Of the
first game the two clubs and Umpires
Hughes and Bigbee left the field. When
it was found that no agreement had been
made for an eight-inning contest, the
press box let out a holler and the indica-
tor-handlers marched the clubs back for
action.
Frank Pee obtained the longest clout Of
the day in the third inning Of the second
game when he hammered one over F.
Burch's head for three sacks. He failed
to count, as two were down at the time
and Limerick popped to Lee.
When A. Burch caromed a hot one of
Lem Owens head in the first inning Of
the opening game, he pulled UP at the
midway station as the ball bounded to
Mccarthy in right field. Shake it or
was heard on all sides by Owens team
mates, and the lanky hurler needed the
admonition and went back to work wear
ing his same old smile.

More Bleacher Seats in 1915.

The bleacher seats in the big league
parks will do comeback" next year.
Some years ago each park had from 5000
to 10 900 bleacher seats. Then the mag
mates decided that some Of this seats
were too nice for the Scent spectators,
they divided the oleachers-
The parts nearest home plate were
changed to Scent seats. and only few
25-cent seats were left.
However, the 1o-cent baseball policy In.
augurated By the Feds has forced organ
ised baseball to appeal to the poorer fans
again-and the once-time Scent seats
that were boosted to 50 cents are pretty
sure Of becoming Scent seats In 1916.
Joe Lannin, owner of the Red sox. Al
ready has made q move In the direction
Of more cheaper seats. He added 1900
Scent seats to his park q few weeks
ago. making the total 5000.

STRIKE-TIE-UP POSSIBLE

Two men who tried to take the
number of a policeman who had
kicked a picket were arrested today
in front of Mayer Bros, Wabansla

makers strike is on.
When the policeman kicked the
picket Lyman Schnerd and Sam Kiss
man, organizers, tried to get the Of
ficer's number. They were arrested.
Victor Wycranie, another organizer,
was arrested for simply talking to a
strikebreaker.
Some policemen seem unable to
realize that they are hired to protect
the public, not to beat up fellow men
who are forced to strike to keep from
starvation" said one of the organ
izers. Still, they are probably just
obeying orders from man higher up

facturer or the manufacturers polt-

workers leaders last night the belief
was expressed that strike revolts
against intolerable conditions in Chi

come so numerous that shortly there
will be a general strike without one
being called.

from their spirit of subsection. They
are straining at the tie which bind
them to starvation and poverty.

" every other trade the Chicago scale
is much the higher.

A GOOD HOME AND CHILDREN
FAILED, HUSBAND CLAIMS

New York, Sept. 1.-Ten years ago
Samuel Leitner, then 81, married
17-year-old girl, just released from
the House of the Good Shepherd,
where she had been confined for So
cial missteps and incorrigibility. He
thought married life and a good
home, with children, would make her
forget the old life.
1t didn't. So Monday he shot her
to death because, he says, she taunt-
ed him with the story of her shame
and refused to live straight for the
sake of their five children.
This is the confession of Leitner
to the police after he had stoutly
maintained his innocence for "a
hours. The story told in court was
unemotional-a simple statement of
things as they were, he said. For
DAYS at time, he said, she would
leave him with the children, to stay
with other men.
With the mother dead and the ia
ther in jail, the five children, the old
est 9, were in a pitiable plight today.
Two of them were found on the.
street, crying with hunger, neighbour
took the 8-months-old baby and
