 ID FIGHT AT LAST
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

NEW YORK, Jan. Lies Darcy, the Australian middleweight champion, witnessed his first ring contest in America in Brooklyn today. In a ring side box he watched Billy Miske. of St Paul. and George (KnockouD Brown, of Chicago, fight ten hard rounds. in eight of which the St. Paul man gave the Chicagoan q beating Miske. who is prominently mentioned as an opponent for Darcy. had the ad vantage of height reach and five pounds in weight, but Brown with stood terrific punishment and was still fighting gamely when the bout ended. Brown won the first two rounds.
 In the sixth Miske landed a right swinging uppercut under Browns jaw but the Chicago man clinched and stalled out the round. In the seventh Brown took three shOrt-arm jolts in the same place, besides some hard blows on the body. but Miske could not get his right over for knockout.
 The arrangements here are rather strange to me-" Darcy said. Both smoking and coaching from the corner are absolutely prohibited in Australia, but both are allowed here. The men in the ring must be weakened by in haling such a smOke-laden atmo- sphere"
 In another Brooklyn club today Bat ting Levinsky cleverly outpointed Gunboat Smith in a ten-round bout
 Mike O'Dowd, the St. Paul middle weight, scored a decisive win over Johnny (Kid) Alberts of Elizabeth, N. J., in nine out of ten rounds. Their re- spective weights were l54 and 155 pounds.

BASEBALL CLANS
 GATHER IN EAST.
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CINCINNATI, Jan. 1.-Baseball men from almost every part of the country began gathering here tonight for the annual meeting of the National Base ball Commission tomorrow. While the commission meeting has been called for 10 a. m, it is highly probable that 1t will be hours later before the Su- preme court of baseball really begins it's work, inasmuch as there has been special meeting called of the club owners of the three Class A leagues, which has as an indicated object the adoption of a suitable resolution for presentation to the commission, ask ing that the drafting of players from Class A leagues be abolished
 While nothing official has been an- nounced by the commission as to how It will look upon this demand, yet it has been unofficially indicated by President Johnson, of the American League, that the request would be de- nied.
 That the Class A league men intend to press the matter with energy is in- dicated by the special meeting called for tomorrow, and while every club president of the American Association and the International League is eX- pected here, it is hardly probable that
 
 resented by more than one man.
 It Is likewise probable that large number of the major league magnates will be in attendance, as a number of other matters that have to do with the relation between the major and minor league clubs are believed to be on the list of matters to be considered by the commission.
 The election of officers for the com mission also will be held, but it has become an assured fact during the last week that both Chairman August Hermann and Secretary John F.. Bruce would be reelected, the an- nouncement from Chicago that Presi- dent Johnson. of the American league. had stated that he saw no reason to ma<e change, putting an end to numerous rumors of the past six months that the commission would have new head in the person Of some one not affiliated with either major league.

NEW YEAR'S PAPER CHASE PROVES
 SPORTING EVENT IF THE WINTER

[ is enc of the most enthusiastic horsemen and, perhaps one of the most skilled riders in the state
 As result of the great success of yesterdays paper chase, it is plan ned to stage another one in the near future. at which time, it is expected that more than double the number of starters will leave the post for the exciting chase.
 Following is a list of starters in yesterdays chase: Misses Madeline via Horton, Vera French. Adele Smith, Gertrude Odom and Mile. French. MeSsrs. Claude Gagnon, B. R. Turner, l.. C Shringebarr, Col. Brown. Sidnes Poster, Norman Farrell. Jeff Eng lund. W. W. Odom. Paul R. Dapron, Claude Gagnon, Robert P. Holiday. E. r. Knott. + U.

Holiday and Gagnon. drop ped out of the race when it was about two thirds over The hour was growing so late that the eXigencies of business, accompanied by a theatrical engagement which Gagnon had in Chandler last night, proved too strong combination for the four.
 Both Darron and Anderson were up with the leaders all the time. On the rlde down the side of the moun- tain near Hole-in- the Rock, Anderson led the slide. breaking trail for the rest of the riders.

Riding at a mad pace over the desert, across mesas and over the topmost peaks of seVera! hills, Miss Dorothy Bamberger won the New Years day paper chase by narrow margin yesterday afternoon. There were more than 25 riders lined up for the start at Mcdowell road and the croSs-cut canal.
 Right at the very start the riders dropped down into a ditch more than 20 feet deep, and from here the trai! of paper led northward out over the broad eXpanse of desert many miles from the city. Crossing a range or rugged hills it swung around the Hole in the Rock and back to the school house on the Van Buren road. For more than an hour after the ar rival of the winner at the finish the other riders came struggling in
 Miss Dorothy Bamberger displayed remarkable skill in the saddle and finished with a perfect score, as she didn't leave the trail once during the entire chase. And had it not been that Miss Madeline Bamberger had lodged one deep ditch early in the run, she might have nosed out he sister at the finish.
 Miss Smith was among the leaders in the chase until her horse ran away and would have undoubtedly been right up in the lead among the winners. Miss Smith is an eXcep- tionally clever rider Miss Lucille Horton, who finished second was constantly among the leaders through out the long course, and was but a few feet behind Miss Bamberger at the finish
 Claude Gagnon, juvenile leading man of the Jeanne Russell company, was one ef the judges. MT. Gagnon
