A massacre took place near Newry
in which women and children were
among the victims; yet the Welsh
Fencible Regiment which perpetrated
this was not even reproved by Dub
lin Castle. The viceroy's sole COM
ment on the massacre was jest about
the zeal with which the newly raised
regiment practiced "the sword exer-
else they had recently learned.
There was already among the Ul'
steer Protestants a nucleus of Orange
men who were ready to execute any
atrocities against either their
Catholic or Protestant fellow-country-
men. Even they, however, much as
they hated Liberalism did not desire
q union with England. When the
un,on came they cried out vehemently
against it,
Every Difference Fostered.
Every difference, however, has, IN
Ireland, been deliberately fostered and
intensified. The FISHERMAN has been
taught that his difference from the
southerner, instead Of being merely
one of those variations which occur
in all countries, is an unbridgeaole
chasm between two foreign peoples
So long as statesmen believed that II
was in England's interest to maintain
the union, it was their obvious policy
to encourage this delusion.
It has now been encouraged to sucn
a point that an Ulster problem may
almost be said to exist. But 1t Is well
to remember that, even in its latest
emergency under Sir Edward Carson
# was always London that gave tht
signal. II Sir Edward Carson had no

and even in the British army. the Car.
sonites behaved as though for them
there was no law.
They forbade Mr.. Winston Churchill
to address a meeting Of Ulster Liberals
in the Ulster Hall, where Parnell him
self had once spoken. Sir Edward Car
son said that in proposing to speak in
the Ulster Hall, Mr.. Churchill was
guilty Of "a more criminal act than
has ever been prosecuted in any Grim

for their own ends.
Mr.. Churchill unfortunately knew
so little of Belfast history that he con-
cluded that a meeting In the Ulster
Hall could not be held without riot.
He naturally enough shrank from be.
ing the immediate cause Of bloodshed.
The Ulster Liberals at the time as.
sured him that the meeting could be
held without fatal collision between
the Orangemen and the forces Of the
Crown.

GEORGE GIBSON
WILL BE PILOT
OF THE PIRATES

Pittsburg. Dec. S.-George Hack"
Gibson, former Pirate catcher. and
lately manager Of the Toronto Inter-
nationals, today accepted the man
agement OF the Pittsburg Nationals
to succeed Hugo Bezdek. This an
nouncement was made by Barney
Dreyfuss. president Of the local club.
Gibson will formally sign articles at
a meeting in New York Wednesday.
George Gibson, the new manager OF
the Pirates. Is one of the best men
seen behind the bat since the days OF
Buck Ewing. During the season of
1903 Gibson established a continuous
catching record for major leagues
when he caught 40 consecutive
games.
Gibson also won the accurate
throwing contest held for catchers in
Cincinnati. o.. on September IL. 1907.
when against King. of the Chicago
Cubs and others he was the only
catcher who hit the target placed at
second base.
When Gibson was signed by the
Pittsburg team back in 1905 his name
was sent out as George IL. Gibson.
No one could figure what the II"
stood for, so he was given the name
of 'Hackenschmidt" in honor of the
great wrestler. and that name has
stuck to "Gibby'' ever since.

London Believes
Jim Wilde Was
Robbed of Fight

London, Dec. s.-With surprise.
credulity and disappointment to the
point of alarm. London heard the
news of the downfall" Of their
other fistic idol. Jimmy Wilde. This
was doubly hard coming SO soon
after the knockout OF Joe Beckett.
Still feeling that the little n.y.
weight champion represents the last
word in fighting machinery. Brit
ishers were inclined to attribute his
defeat by Jack Sharkey in Milwau-
kee saturday night to be the re-
suit of a decision caused by anti
British sentiment.
After their fights mere with the
champion. in which they claimed
they were given a bum decision"
Pal Moore and Joe Lynch said:
Wait until we. get to America"
Londoners think that this decision
was the first blow taken by Amer
ica in defense of her bantams.
Commenting on the fight. the
Telegraph SAID: 'Sharkey Is not in
the same class with Wilde. 1t Is
nard to believe that he could even
hold his own. We wonder II the
decision was not Influenced by feel
ing against Wilde"

CAPTURE BATTLE

Pittsburg. Pa. Dec. s.-The sensa-

over Beckett Thursday night was no
surprise to one man in Pittsburg who
knows more about Carpenter than
any other person in this part of the
country.
Frank Klaus, former middle-weight
champion, now a hotel keeper in
Braddock. is the man. Frank knows
all about Carpenter. for he has met
him in actual ring combat and holds
a victory over him. The battle be-
tween Klaus and the present fistic
idol OF Europe took place on June "a
1872. at Dieppe, France, and went to
the nineteenth round before klaus,
who was sure winner in any event.
was given the decision on a foul.
Carpenters victory was not sur
prising to me. for / had-him figured
as likely to beat Beckett" said Frank
today in discussing the London affair
OF course l did not look for him to
win in less than two minutes, but 1
did consider him sure winner in
reasonable time. because what know
of Carpenter and what / had learned
about Beckett from good judges who

He was one of the numerous English

In detailing his experiences Beckett
said:
In busy fair times l have fought

rounds. My orders were to see that
no challenger remained on his feet
