YOST'S SQUAD OFF FOR LANSING.
Sixteen Wolverine Go to Tackle the Michigan Aggie Today. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct 9. With sixteen men, two of them just transferred to the regular squad. Coach Tost will leave early tomorrow morning for Lansing to play the Aggies. The two scrubs to go are Fred Lawton of De
troit and a lineman named Kuhr, who was powerful in defense for the green squad in its brushes with the regulars. The. men to go are Embs, Watkins, Cully, Kuhr. Jeffries, Primau. Benbrook, Green, Ranney. -Peek. Douglas, Wasmund, Allerdice. Fred. Lawton, Edmunds and Lillle. Just before the practice was over Yost sprung some new fakes that are wonders. But as the men could not get them down pat for the game tomorrow it is doubtful if they will be shown to a Lansing audience. Instead of having seven vets in the line-up, as he will in the Notre Dame game. Yost will have but four Embs, Allerdice, Wasmund and Watkins.

H00SIERS TACKLE CHICAGO.
Western football interest will center at Marshall field today when Chicago and Indiana clash in what prom
ises to be the gridiron season's first big battle in point of competition and equality. The maroons and hooslers
are slated for an illuminating exposi
tion of openwork football, while the other "big eight" teams will indulge
In contests of minor importance.
This afternoon's games will f see all the conference elevens in working order, Wisconsin and Northwestern will appear in their first games, the badgers taking on Lawrence at Madi
son and Northwestern playing the pur
pie alumni at Evanston. Lawrence held Minnesota to a 6 to 0 score last
Saturday, and the badger showing will
furnish a line on the comparative
strength of the two conference elevens
The maroons will meet a far better team this afternoon than Purdue, and
the rooters are looking for a small
score. Coach "Jimmy" Sheldon of In
diana has the "best team he ever had
at the hoosier school and is certain
that he can hold Stagg's team down
It will be the big game of the season
for Sheldon.

Belmont's Stable Boy Says Financier Shook Him and Called Names. New Tork, Oct. 9. That August Belmont shook him by the collar and collar and called him a "d d little jackass" because he, failed to tip his hat to the financier and horseman by whom he was employed as a stable boy was the statement made today by "John H. Freit, a jockey. Fred was testifying in the suit for 1100,000 damages which he Instituted against Mr. Belmont for publication of a paragraph in tfPe Racing Calendar on his leaving Mr. Belmont's employ. He had told yesterday, of the custom- of tipping the hat which, he said. Mr. Belmont made
obligatory on all his stable boys, but
at that time said nothing of Mr. Bel
mont having shaken him or called him
names: .
"Why- didn't you tell us that yester-
Fond du Lac, Wis., Oct. 9. After eight round of fast fighting, Eddie Mcoorty of Oshkosh was awarded the decision over Jack Redmond of Chicago here tonight. ' The go was a slam-bang
affair, Up to the sixth round the bout was a good draw, with McGoorty doing the leading and Redmond displaying greafc cleverness in keeping out of the way. McGoorty took matters up to
the seventh, when he opened and had the Chicago pug in distress in both seventh and eight sessions. Especially
in the final round was Redmond in a
bad way, only his gameness pulling
him through. Redmond took severe punishment, clinging to his assailant and at times "stopping vicious lefts and rights. No effort was made by Governor Davidson to stop the fight, and the local authorities were in full cognizance of it.
When Governor Davidson ' of Wisconsin put the lid on boxing in the Badger state in an edict notifying the sheriffs in every county of the state to prevent any and all ring contests, he gave the Queensberry game'jts finish blow as far as the Middle West'is concerned. There is not a place left in this section of the country where a bout of any importance can be staged. The east is not so badly off. It has Boston for twelve round bouts, New York and Philadelphia and Baltimore for six -round engagements, and some smaller cities in New York and Pennsylvania. Because of the limited distance to the fight put on the east it is impossible to get championship attractions, as most of the champions refuse to risk their titles over a sprint route. The barring of the fighters from Wisconsin leaves California the only place where championship contests over a distance can .be decided. Los Angeles and San Francisco promoters will hereafter be alone in the bidding
for the big plum in the way of pug
ilistic matches. Deadest It Ever Has Been. The game is deader in the jmiddle west now than it has ever been. There is not a place in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan or Indiana where they will stand for the knights of the padded glove. When Kid Farmer, the "original," was close to death as the result of a fight which Jack Morgan at Peoria last spring, and the authorities in the down state city forbade any more bouts, it rubbed Illinois off the pugilistic state. A recent fight at Benton Harbor, sufficed to close the sport there and blinked boxing in the last city where it thrived in Michigan. Indianapolis,- Terre Haute and Ft. Wayne, the Indiana fight towns, have been out of it for some time. Now Wisconsin is in the same boat. Places Where Minor Boots Go. St. Joe, Mo., and Canton and Dayton, O., are places where boxing shows are
still permitted, but nothing big is ever
attempted at these places.
In the south the sport has been in
oblivon for some time." There is an
effort being made now to reestablish the game at McDonoughville, La., across the river from New Orleans, but whether the effort is successful remains to be seen. Gradually, but with his progress well defined, the fighting game is being eliminated from this country until it seems now as though it is but a matter of time before , the sport will be cast from the athletic map, and yet summed up it is the game which strikes popular favor, more acutely, with the possible exception of baseball, than any other sport in the category.

Days of the old-time finish " fights were recalled yesterday when Danny Goodman knocked out Tommy Mowatt in the sixth round of a desperate battle on the turf and in the open air just across the road from Leavitt Park, on the southwestern limits of the city.
After being driven from a hall near Willow Grove by a deputy sheriff, who scented a battle, an old-fashioned cross-country march was held until a secluded spot was reached. The men then stripped and went at it. Gloves were used, but in all other respects the arrangements recalled former bare knuckle fights, one of which, that between Billy Stift and Con Doyle, was held on the pery spot where the men met yesterday. About eighty-five spectators had gathered at the hall to witness the bout, which was supposed to be in private. When the deputy appeared and caWed a halt the men were just about to step into the ring. Thereupon an exodus commenced, and about fifty idlers poined the crowd as it crossed
the road and strung out across the prairie to a secluded point near the county road. An impromptu ring was formed with a piece of rope attached to saplins and held at one corner by one of the spectators. The boys had weighed at' the hall, and there was no delay. For five rounds honors were nearly even, then Goodman, after a volley of body blows which brought Mowatt's head forward, sent a right to the Jaw, which ended the bout. Mowatt recovered shortly. The crowd commenced to scatter as soon as the count of ten was pronounced, evidently fearing some action by the authorities.

Boston received a big surprise party tonight when he faced Young Brirt of this city before the Eureka Athletic club for fifteen rounds. Although practically a novice, Britt swapped punches with the Boston boy throughout and gave as good as he received. Walsh was given the decision, as he
outpointed his opponent by a shade. A draw vould have been a better verdict. At the end of the contest Britt was the stronger.
CUB FANS CELEBRATING
East Chicagoans Have Treat at Eight O'clock Dinner.
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Oct. 10. East Chicago's' cub fans were given a huge treat last evening when W. R. Diamond, the local groceryman, entertains dthe clerks of his 'store, nine
in number, at an excellent 8 o'clock dinner. The dinner was served in Mr. Diamond's spacious diningroom over the store, and was followed by a delightful evening, in which flinch, a card game, was the leading feature. The supper was a six-course . affair and was served by Mrs. Diamond, assisted by Mrs. Sidney H. Veaco. A small souvenir "Teddy Cub" was placed at each plate, and retained by the guests as remembrances of the notable victories of their baseball favorites. Those present were Miss Mayme Schmitt of Grasselli, and Messrs. H. C. Fedder, P. Grebnner, B. Birch, Harvey Barr, Arthur Carlson, Arthur Schaler, Arthur Keenan and Robert Jones.
