training, he would have proved the
show mans master, and the bouts
aroused so much discussion that
plans were outlined for another
match between the two men in this
city when Napolian's contract with
the Ferari concern expires. Judg-
ing from the enthusiasm shown last
night, such a match would bring out
many hundred fans, and 1T seems
probable that an effort. will be made
to put the two heavyweights on the
mat again.
When the D. S. A. c. was in its
prime, Larson was considered to be
one of the best men in this part of
the state, and his friends maintain
that he is still there" Last nights
performance whetted the desire of
the fans for repetitions of the good
old time bouts, and bids fair to bring
on revival of the wrestling game
here in Perth Amboy.

BATTLE ARRAY, TO MEET PAGERS

? losing one and tieing one. The team
went along on a victorious path until
Saturday, August 21, when the first
and only defeat of the season was met
at the hands of the Brighton A. c.,
of Brooklyn, by score of l to o.
Olde and Davis will be the battery for
Railway tomorrow. This pair have
worked in all the Railway games this
summer. Tommy Mullen, who has
been playing with the Franklins and
the Saints on Sundays here, will play
short for Railway The remainder of
the Railway lineup is unknown, as
the manager of the club failed to send
his lineup to the PAGERS.
Tomorrow's big double header will
be started promptly at las and the
first game will be terminated at an
hour not later than 3:15 SO as to give
the Railway club enough practice to
start the second and important game
at $50 In the first game there will
be some highly interesting baseball
with two high class pitchers, Harry
Applegate and Cliff Jewell, as oppon-
ents Roosevelt is anxious to make
good showing in their game against
the PAGERS and have added some new
talent to their club. In the first game
several local plaSsSs. members Of The
Frankfl a--ff Saintsl = :
chance to play AGAINST Roosevelt.
Billy Idmm will succeed Billy

against Railway Tamm has had a
great year in the International
League and has filed in at short and
at third for Harrisburg when Move OF
Zimmerman have been out of the
game. Tamm has been playing the
outfieid steady for two months now,
In the first game Tamm will probably
cover short against Roosevelt and IL
the second game "Pud' Stinson wtll
go in at short
Worth's addition gives the PAGERS
infeld class, as he viii take good care
of all the poor throws and will do his
share toward downing Railway,
Meara and Hand are also welcome in
the PAGERS lineup, as they are two
sterling hitters who are liable ia
knock Olde's slow curves all over tha
lot.
Much depends on Cliff Randolph to-
morrow and if he is in as good form
as he has been on numerous occa-
sions this year, he will make Railway
step fast. If Randy is little bit off
the fans are likely to see a tight see
saw game, as the PAGERS will bat
Olde as hard as Railway bats Ran
dolph at his worst.
1t is possible that a combination
team of Buffalo and Harrisburg In
ternatiOnal League players viii playd
here against the PAGERS a week from
tomorrow. They are to barnstorm
throughout Pennsylvania this COM
ing week and want to play here next
Sunday.

 The young lady students, 1000 com posing the cast. in full costume and eager to give full justice to the per formance ands inspired by the Ire mendous and brilliant audience, were cast in gloom when the raindrops be- gan falling and the spectators were equally disappointed after having wit messed beautiful beginning of the play
 Rain Begins to Fall

Plans for staging the play tonight were being formulated and neared completion with the installation of arc lights in the great arena but the rain continued in- cessantly and all hope was abandoned.
 The largest crowd the city has ever seen had assembled for the spectacle. people having gathered from all over the state and from a distance to wit ness the performance.
 Not since the visit of President Taft in 1908 has Columbus entertained such a throng of visitors as came here to- day for the big pageant.

COMRADES GET THE
 OTHER DESPERADO
Wounded Man Was Well Known and Highly Esteemed in Bessemer Dis trict-Former Chief of Detec-
 tives of City of Bessemer

Bessemer May 27-(Special)-W s. Patton former chief of detectives of the city of Bessemer, and now special officer of the Tennessee Coal, Iron ana Railroad company, stationed at Feeders, was seriously if not fatally wounded this morning by negroes resisting arrest at Fossil mines. The negroes, who are thought to be Harry Jeffries and Will Rogers, were killed. one by MT. Patton after he was shot and the other by Act ing Chief Maddox and Detective Ross who accompanied MT. Patton.
 Elisha Casey. negro. was shot and killed last night at Fossil and it is al legged that the two dead negroes did the killing. This morning Chief Maddox and Detective Lige Ross were notified that the negroes were still on the scene and went to Fossil to arrest them. On the way they secured the assistance of MT. Pat ton.
 The negroes were located but when they saw the officers ran into a vacant house and barricaded the door, refusing to open it when summoned by the offf- cers and threatening to kill anyone whr approached. As is customary with of ficers, Detective Ross was left at the rear of the house While the other two officers broke down the front door and entered.
 Al the officers scrambled into the room they saw the barrel of gun protrud- ing from a clothes closet. Patton threw up his revolver with command for the negroes to come forth. Instead of obeying both opened fire.
 The first bullet struck Patton in the abdomen, knocking him to the floor The second negro put another bullet into his side as he fell With blood pouring fl om both wounds, Mir. Patton raised up on his left arm firing as fast as he could pull the trigger.
 El1 first shot took one of the negroes in the left eye, killing him instantly, but as he grew weaker his aim was poorer. In the meantime MT. Maddox had been standing over Patton firing at the ne- groes. Several of his bullets took effect but not in vital parts. Upon his com rade's fall the remaining negro grew frightened and fled toward a back win dow. As he appeared Detective Ross fired and the negro fell dead.
 MT. Patton was rushed to Feeders hos pital where an operation was performed in the hopes of saving his life MT Patton was resting easily al late hohl tonight. but little hope is held out for his recovery. He is about 40 years old and has wife and several children.
 The woundng of MT. Patton caused intense sorrow in Bessemer. where he was well known, having resided here fol years and having for long time beer connected with the Bessemer police de pertinent.
