NEW YORK. Sept. s.-There will be
no decision in the McFarland-G Gibbons
fight at the Brighton Motordome next
Saturday night. Boxing followers
have been hoping that the commits
sion would decide to allow a decision,
but the board forestalled it by not
meeting in regular session last night,
so no official action was taken. Packey
and Mike both began a slight taper
ing off process today. Yesterday Mike
took his last really hard workout on
the road. pulling the weights, punch
ing the bag and winding up with eight
rounds of fast milling with his spar
ring partners. Packey while his pro-
gram was not quite so strenuous, got
in full day.
Both men are close to the weight

der the banner of Charley Herzog and

taken on a new lease OF life with Mil
Ter Higgins and looks ror all the
world like a real classy twirler. Ames
was known as Kalamity Ames while
he was with the Giants because OF
his unfortunate faculty of losing con-

notch ball and held his opponents 10
few hits and fewer runs. The jinI

But one accident marred the motor

happened 10 Harry Price. whose ma

A Former NeWberrian
Arrested In GreenUiue

and interview tie consignees Of them.
TIE highest ranking OF secret ser
vice officers, none of whose names
are mentioned by his request, asked
that the bond be fixed at $4,000 as
this was serious offense, provided a
conviction were secured and as the
penalty might be as much as five
years he asked that the bond be made
large. enough to guarantee that tee
defendant appear if ne were indicted
by the grand jury. He also mention
ed the fact that Spearman is connect
ed with wealthy people and could
raise almost any amount Of bail.
Even at the time he was talking, a
telephone call from another town
came in and the speaker announced
that a friend at the other end would
be willing to go his bail as high as
$4,000 and that he could qualify
to do so.
The commissioner, however, stated
his belief that $4,000 was sufficient
and he fixed the bond at this amount,
it being Immediately given by a
friend who was present at the trial
and who requested that his name be
not published.
Should spearman be indicted by
tie next federal grand jury it is like
ly that ne will be tried at the next
term of United States court, under
Judge johnson. That he will be rep
resented in such an event by able
counsel there is no doubt. Should he
be indicted the trial of Spearman will
attract considerable attention.

FIGHTS ADVANTAGE
FAYORS ALL ARMIES
Almost Continual Movement Forward
and Backward in Baltic Prov
inees-ArtilIery Engagements.

London, June 13.-In the Baltic
provinces and along the Dniester river
heavy fighting continues between the
Russians and Austrians and Germans.
The movement, forward and back
ward, of the battle lines in the Baltic
provinces is almost continual and each
side has at various times held the ad-
vantage.
In Galicia the scene of the fighting
has changed. The Germans, baked in
their effort to reach Lemberg from
the south, have attacked the Russians
on the river San, north of Przemysl,
and along the Dniester in southeast
ern Galicia, and in their report to
night claim successes in both sectors.
The movement in the. southeast re-
sembles that which failed further up
the Dniester, as Surawana, but is On a
wider scale.
The right wing of the Austro7Ger-
mans is only 20 miles from the Rou-
manian frontier, while it's left wing
read3es as far as Halicz, where many
attacks have been delivered against a
bridgehead. The centre of the op-
erations in Kolomea, from which point
the main attacks, which have carried
the Teutonic allies across the Dniester
in several places, are being launched.
simultaneously the Germans are
proceeding with their attack on the
Russian centre on the river Rawka,
west of Warsaw, where they also have
been successful, according to. their
reports.
In the Western zone artillery en-
gagements are in progress from the
sea to the Woe7re, and even beyond
that district, with here and there in
fantry fighting. The French have at
tempted to force the Germans at some
points out of their strongly entrench-
ed positions, and the Germans have
been endeavoring to recover lost
ground. A big German offensive was
predicted several days ago, but SO far
it has not materialized, although it is
still expected.
With Monfalcone and Gradisco in
their hands, the Italians have begun
an attack on Gorilla (Gorz) further
up the Isonzo river, and one Of the
Austrians' most strongly fortified from
tier positions. The Italians already
have cut the communications to the
north and south of the town, so that
it now depends entirely on the diff
cult mountain road to the eastward.
