 UNINTERESTING BOUT

A boxing show that failed to evoke any great amount of enthusiasm. was held last night in the Auditorium, under the auspices of the Colonial A. C.

It was 1 ] round affair. with out any thrills. The Capital City boy was the victor by Is city blocks. Win ming every round without any great exertion. The New York battler con tinually clinched and hung on, and was subjected to a heavy lombard mont.

WORLD SERIES HAS
 MANY FREAK PLAYS
Games OftentimeS Won by
 Unusual Tricks

New York, Sept. 3O.-Unusual plays brilliant performances of individual players and freaky thinga have enter ed into many of :he series for the world s baseball championship. Such occurrences arc recalled each year in fandom and lend to tho speculative in terest in the championship games about to be played.
 The outstanding feature of tho ser lea in 1908. in which tho Chicago Cubs defeated the Detroit Tigers, waa the hurIing of Pitchers Overall and Brown of the Cubs. overall won two games the second. in which he allowed the Detroits four hits and won six to one, and the fifth in which he allowed three hits and won two to nothing. Brown shut out the Tigers in the fourth game, threo to nothing, the Tigers getting but four hits off his weird de- livery.
 In 1909. Babe" Adams, the veter- an Pittsburgh hurler, won three games for the pirates, the first, fifth and sev- enth. against Detroit. Hans Wagner, the Pirate shortstop, played brilliant ly, as did Moriarty, the Detroit third sacker.
 Bender and Coombs pitched and won the entire series for the Athletics against the Cubs in 1910. Coomba won all three games in which he started and Bender won one and lost one. Ed die Collins performed brilliantly afield and at bat for the Mackmen. The Cubs wero favorites to win in tho ser ie5.
 The home runs of Frank Home Run. Baker contributed largely to the Athletics victory over the Giants Tn the series of 1911. In the second game Bakers homer put the Athletics Tn tho lead and his homer in the thlro game tied the score after the Giants appeared to have the game on ice.
 Thrills aplenty were had in the lslZ games between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants. In the eghth game at Boston, on October 16, the score was tie in the ninth. The Giants scored one in the tenth and led. Harry Hooper robbed them of a run that may have staved off defeat by leaning over the fence and taking DoyIe's long hit which would have been a homer. Then disaster befell the Giants in Boston's half. Snodgrass muffed long fly by Engle who batted in place of Wood, the Boston hurler. whose hand was injured in the previous inning when he stopped Catcher Myers hard liner. Engle took second on the huff. Snodgrass then made a magnificent catch of Hooper's fly which seemed good for three bases. Mathewson tried all his cunning to strike out Yerkes, and failed, Yerkes walking. Speaker hit the first ball ptched for an easy foul which should have been caught by First Baseman Merkle.

Three days of hard scrimmaging have completed wesleyan's prepara- ton for the opening contest with Stevens Institute at Middletown. on Saturday.

GIRL WINS FAME
Little Mexican Indian Maiden Jumps Into Society After Being Chosen For Exceptional Beauty.

Exceptional Beauty.
 Mexico City, Sept. 6.-Fame came to Maria Bibiana Urbe over night and, from a simple, Indian maiden living with her parents in tiny village in the Puebla mountains, she has now become a social figure of the Mexican capital.
 Senorita Uribe was chosen as the most beautiful Indian girl in Mexico In a recent newspaper contest which ex- tended over many months and in which more than 800 photographs were sub- mitted to the jury. The Puebla Indian girl received first prize and was brought to Mexico City to be the central figure at a number of society functions. Sen- ora Pani, wife of the secretary of for eign relations, invited her to recent tea where she met many of the social leaders of the city.
 Barefoot Maria, wearing the charac- teristic dress of her race and tribe was not at all abashed and that night occu- pied a gayly decorated box at the ater entertainment given in her honor. She says, however, that she cares not for the glitter of society and that "un- less something happens she will not leave her mountain home.
