Providence, R. T.. Nov. 23.-Partley Madden of New Jersey. knocked out Jim Coffey. the Dublin Giant, in the seventh round of a scheduled twelve round bout at Marieville tonight
 ConeyS defeat upset the calcula- tions of the fans. who figured that Madden would be no match for him.
 Up to the sixth round the big fel- low, weighing in the neighbornood of 220 pounds. towering over Madden, who tipped the scales at between 180 and 190 pounds, and led the fighting by a wide margin.
 swung his right to Coffey's jaw, stag gering the giant. He followed it up with a fusillade of blows to the head and body, sending Coffey staggering to the ropes. Only the bell saved him from a knockout in this round and he was weak and bewildered at the bell.
 Madden finished early in the sev- entk what he had started in the pre- ceding round. Hardly had the bell runS when he was after Coffey and almost at once he swung a heavy left to the giants jaw. again driving him to the ropes. Following him up. Mad den shot his right to the jaw and Cof- fey went down. Referee Billy Gardner began to count and Coffey struggled to get to his feet. At the count of ten he had raised himself on one knee but could not come back fast enough to save the knockout.

POOLING OF PLAYERS OPPOSED BY NATIONAL LEAGUE Tener Says Suggestion ic Not in Har-
 mony With Baseball Spirit.

The suggestion which has been made to the American league club owners to pool the, players and receipts next season will be strongly oppbsed by the National league, according to state nient made by President John K. Ten CT recently.
 Ut is not in harmony with the spirit of baseball" said President Tener. T do not believe that the American league intends taking any such action. am quite sure that the National league club owners would not even consider such a move. In the first place the satisfactory placing of the star players would be difficult prob lem to decide, in fact it seems that it would be impossible to accomplish it in way which would be satisfac- tory to all clubs"
 Other baseball men who talked about plan were surprised at such a rad ical suggestion from a veteran club owner like Charles A. Comiskey, the owner of the worlds champion White Sox For many years this general shifting of players has heen one fea- turel of thea game which the leagues have been trying to avoid. The sale or trade of star players from weak clubs to stronger clubs has caused no end of trouble in baseball, and only a year ago the National league passed an amendment . foFbidding the sale of players from one club to another after

GOVERNMENT POOLING
 AND SALE OF ALL COAL
May Follow as Result of Pool Just Formed at Cleveland.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Eventual government pooling and sale of all the the coal mined in the United States was seen as a possibility here today in the fuel administration'S approval of a producers pool just formed at Cleveland which will handle shipments of mines in Ohio. West Virginia, a part of Pennsylvania and perhaps Tennessee and Kentucky. Creation of other pools will be encouraged
 If government pooling is put into eff feet it will be made operative next spring and will superSede the ship pers' pools. Under such an arrange ment the government would requisi- tion at the mines the entire output of coal, selling it without profit. Such a plan was suggested by the federal trade commission before the govern ment took control of the coal indus try.
 Advantages in a government pool pointed out today by officials would. be that distribution would. be easier, since the governpdent. ftselx would direct shipments and more efficient operation if priority of movement is obtained.

CLOSEUP NO. 3. By William H. Rocap.

Bob Fitzsimmons was still a mere boy when he threw his hat into the Australian ring as full-f1edged pro @ Iessaonaf' being scarcely eighteen man physically, with a heart as stout as his body was strong. He seemed to possess the mental balance of Q matured man and all the recuperative powers and ambitions which come with youth. He possessed also a con f1dence in himself which spelled vic tory. Height, reach and abnormal hitting ability, his back and shoulder muscles having been developed in wonderful fashion by his work at the forge. He started out by beating his first opponent in three rounds Tn succession he aattened twelve other men, not one staying over eight rounds. Fitz always dropped them
 quick. He usually spent a round or two sizing his man up and then put : ting the finishing touch with single jolt to the jaw.
 After winning thirteen profession hghts in such a decisive fashion the statisticians and makers of record books began to sit up and take notice. They saw in the 1anky Cornishman a real champion. Matches came quickly Out the purses were small They had the betting fever in the Antipodes and the ailment appeared to be infectious
 Fhty pounds was considered a. big pig purse for any fighter, but if he stood in with the book-makers he was generally handed a good-sized bag of coin. It was that lure that made Fitz commit the greatest mistake of his ring career, one which had made hin, often sigh and which prompted hein to tell the writer that he wished he could live his life over. It was jus. to correct that one mistake that he yearned for another canoe.
 In December, 1889, FItz had beaten Dick Ellis in Sydney in a most deci- I-II '

d CSTCdlA UdCS III lne season..
 Season before last, when Manager McGraw went out to strengthen his club he got Sallee, Herzog, Zimmerman and Lew Mccarthy, an aggregation which brought the pennant to New York last season. The New York clubs wholesale raid caused so much commotion in the league that steps were taken to avoid repetition of the practice. The same sort of objection was made in the American league when Iris Speaker went to Cleveland. Any move which at all savors of syn dicate baseball is now frowned upon by both baseball club owners and baseball public, it is impossible that the major leagues will venture any such radical move.
 Syndicate baseball has been success fully wiped out of both leagues, the last instance of 1t being few seasons ago when Charles w. Murphy of Chi cago was also interested in the Phila- delpkia club. The same ownership of any two or more clubs has a tendency to make the public suspicious. The Federal league could not rain the con- fidence of the public because it was known that the league placed it's play CTS. around in different clubs.
 The very fact however. that Owner Comiskey even suggested such prop osition indicates that the club owners are worrying about the coming season. harder than it did last season and losing many of their younger players.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET PRICES SWAYED Stable IndustriaIs Fiuctusted Within
 Restricted Limits.

New. York. Nov, .2sm75Rackwardness of rails. despite assurances that no strike will be called by the brother hoods, was the outstanding feature of today's moderate business on the stock exchange. Other shares were disposed, after early hesitation, to supplement advances of the mid-week. but encountered occasional opposition.
 Foreign affairs were less in the foreground, although another violent break in Italian exchange to a dis count approaching 45 per cent. cre~ ated increased apprehension respect ing the outcome of impending events in that country. r-
 Trading was accompanied by fre- quent intervals of extreme dullness, but the monotony of the session was relieved by intermittent activity of pools in various specialties at gross gains of 2 to 5 points.
 Stable industrials, including equip ments cf the war division. again fiuc- tuated within restricted limits, but offered more resistance to pressure steadily in the last hour to sS IA, net gain of 1 3-4 points. sLackawanna Steel and Republic Iron were unus- ually active at extreme advances of 3-4 and 1-4 points, respectively.
 Industrial Alcohol, the motors, oils, Tobaccos, feathers, shippings and Western Union participated rather unevenlv at gross gains of one to four points, but shaded toward the close on realizing sales in Marine Preferred and motor issues. Sales announced to I5, = 900 shares.
 Call money was at its lowest rate of the week. declining from 3 1-2 to 2 1-2 per cent. for loans over the weekend, on forecasts of favorable bank statement

Jess Desires to Fight Carpenter

Jess Willard the eminent Circus promoter, recently indignantly denied a report to the effect that he had re- tired from the ring. As every circus has one or more rings, WilIard's as- sertion may easily be the truth. At the same time Willard rather confuses the situation by declaring that he de- sires to meet Carpentfer, the heavy weight champion of Europe As Will lard could not meet the French cham pion anywhere except in an aviation camp lover there" and as the world s champion has not as yet joined any branch of Uncle Sam's service, it is evident Willard does not expect to meet Carpenter until the war has ended.
