One no-hit game, two two-hit games

TIMES Both are non-commital on the
subject Of decisions, but il is believed
that the big three will call a special
conclave to thresh out the matter be-
fore the new year sets in
Boxing for the fans is the new order
in New York City. The promoters have
finally come 10 q realization that il
IS the public that supports the game,
and unless the public is treated fairly
the sport viii deteriorate- The prO-
mOters are deyising all sorts OF means
TO draw out the populace, and several
brilliant ideas have been unearthed-
The most noteworthy scheme is that
evolved by the manager OF the Amer
lean Sporting club, which is IN the
field again after being shut down for
almost a year Fighters subscribing
TO contracts at this club have their at
tention called to 4 sort Of protective
clause. II protects the public, and

moneys are TO be refunded
San Langford and Sam McVey were
the first to fight under this arrange
ment Their exhibition was highly edi-
flying and they were paid for their
services. The two Sans gave an ex-
position OF ring knowledge that has
seldom been seen in local ring. Both
have been mauling heavyweights for
over q decade. and despite their heft
are as sprightly as hghtweights. Theirs

The promoters of this club took this
stand after Johnny Kilbane and his
one-time sparring partner. Cal De-
laney, had inflicted themselves on club
members for ten tiresome rounds. The
spectators threatened never TO attend
some guarantee that they would be

Willie Beecher and Johnny Griffiths.

attraction. and both had to sign an
agreement that their showing must
satisfy the gathering or they would

spectators were satisfied They were
paid. We are waiting to see how this
scheme turns out when the fight is not
satisfactory.

HAS WEALTH Of
TUNGSTEN ORES
White Oaks Mine Is Be
lieved to Be One Of the
Richest in the World.

CarrizOzo. y. NJ. Dec. 4.-The White
Oaks mining properties. which have
been taken over by the eastern syn
dictate, Of which Richard Weightman
is the local manager. are now consid-
cred one of the principal tungsten
camps in the world. It is estimated
by engineers who have investigated
the old dumps of the three principal
mines included in the recent deal, that
sufficient quantities of this metal can
be- taken from the dumps alone to pay
for the contract prices of the property
This is considered in the nature OF a
pickup" as the metal has been
thrown away during the years the
mines were being worked, il being be-
neved at that time that the metal was
Of no value. Great quantities of IL
are still being uncovered
About two months previous to the
time the Wild Cat properties were sold,
il is estimated that $4,000 worth OF
tungsten had been taken out Of one
mine by one man who held the lease.
with the aid of two helpers-taking
out as much as $1,000 per day for
several days in succession It is said
that this metal is now worth 81 600 per
short ton, and that the present man
egement already has letters on file
from companies in England and France
requesting quotations and what
amounts can be furnished
