True Herolsn.

Tho bravest man in New York made
his appearance in a Broadway store
one day last week.
He carried an enormous bandbox
which contained an enormous hat, on
which the man wanted what he con-
sidered an enormous amount Of money
refunded. The man was pretty mad,
and, while looking for some one who
had the authority to negotiate the
transaction, he talked loud enough for
everybody to hear
my wife bought this hat" he said
"she doesn't need It. She has already
bought three hats.
"She paid $35 for this, one. She has
never worn It. It Just came home last
night. can't afford to throw al that

RING ENTHUSIASTS ARE LEGION

NEW YORK, Sept u.--New York held
q larger gathering of ring enthusiasts
today than at any time since boxing
flounshed here under the Horton law. III ,
ten-round bout between Packey McFar-
land OF Chicago and Mike Gibbons of st.
Paul tonight has brought spectators from
all over the country. Nearly 200 admirers
of Mcfarland arrived today from Chi
cago on a special train.
The Brighton Beach motordrome. where
the fight will take place, has a seating
capacity of $1,000 and while the pro-
motors do not expect to fill II, they are
confident that the gate receipts will more
than equal the purse of So. 800.
The money will be divided. 1880 to
Mcfarland and SIS 900 to Gibbons. 1t is
the richest stake offered at a ring con-
test In some time.
Netherlands last fight was on December
8. 1914 a ten-round. no-decision bout with
Jack Britton OF Milwaukee. The fact that
he has not taken part in a battle for
nearly two years placed him slightly be-
low Gibbons In the betting today. Glib
bons last appearance In the ring was in
Brooklyn on May 81, 1915, when he fought
ten rounds with Soldier Bartfield, no de-
cision.
At 8 O'Clock this afternoon Packey Nc
Farland and Mike Gibbons weighed in at
the Brighton Beach baths, about 20O va. DIS
away from the ring in which they are
to meet tonight Both fighters touched
the beam at LAT and seemed to be in per-
feet condition. although Mcfarland s
features seemed somewhat drawn due to
hard training.
Mcfarland greeted Gibbons with a
emile after he had left the scales, then
they shook hands.
Il wish you luck" remarked Packey.

Huntley Offers to
Shoot One Thousand
Targets in One Day

According 70 a report from chicago Sam
A, Huntley, the crack Omaha trap shot
offered To shoot any man. amateur or
professional, in the United States at loo
targets In one day for $1,000. There were
no takers, although Martin MvVoy OF the
New York Athletic club, endeavored to
find a suitable man with the intention OF
backing him against the Omaha star. At
last reports he has stiil TO locate the
proper individual.
Such a match would be one OF the
biggest trap shooting events staged in
many moons. Two hundred targets Is
pretty good shooting for one day even to
a man who is used to It. let alone 1000
targets II e not thought likely anybody
will be willing to take chance with
Huntley on such a proposition.

The contest for the title today was not

Vanderbeck won yesterday from Miss
Alexa Stirling. southern champion, but
the eastern champion played good golf.
approximating a 90 as against a probable
"a for the Brlton.
The International nature of the strug-
gle drew a large gallery. Mrs. Wander
beck, who had twice broken the course
record since the tournament began on
Monday, did not give her supporters any
cause for nervousness except on the
fourteenth hole. where she fooled n
mashie shot and barely escaped a pit.
Mrs. Vanderbeck has been favorite
with many since she led the qualifiers
for the 6.435-yard course.
The champion became prime favorite
yesterday after she had won a 22-hole
victory over Miss Stirling of Atlanta,
despite the fact that the southern cham
pion overhauled her at the eighteenth hole
and had better chances on each OF the
four extra ones The victors golf was
not SO near par today. although she
equalled perfect figures for women on
ten of the sixteen holes she played.
Mrs Gavin, the runner up, has not at
any time during the meet played as good
golf as her American conquerer. but she
has been consistent She qualified with
90. eleven strokes higher than Mrs, Van
| derbeck. The big surprise furnished by
the Briton was her defeat in the third
round of Eleanor Allen of Boston, who
had eliminated Mrs. J. v. Hurd dorothy
Campbel), of Pittsburgh. and g. She
also furnished an upset in prognostica-
tions yesterday In defeating Brnestine
