Five- Thousand -Gothamites See Once Clever Boxjr Put Up Poor KJAV"on" New York, OcJfRe. Amid the jeers, hoots, and hysterical applause of about 5,000 spectators at the National A. C. tonight. Kid McCoy demonstrated that he is fifteen years from the McCoy of old. and Jim Stewart, the rising young local heavyweight, exhibited the worst case oi siage irigry, ' ever seen in a prize ring. The two men were scheduled to meet in a six round fight, but the proposed battle turned out to be of the fiasco variety. At times McCoy showed flashes 'of the old time cleverness that made tiim famous in prize ring circles some half dozen years ago, but they were only flashes, and passed almost before they had begun. In the middle of the first round the sneering Kid caught Stewart on the point of the jaw as he was stumbling backward, and Stewart went sprawling to the floor. He waited on one knee' till Referee Charley White counted nine before arising and McCoy seemed to be as grateful for the rest as the fallen man. When Stewart rose to his feet McCoy met him with a sneering smile, and they rushed into a clinch. They remained in a loving embrace until the referee pried them apart. From McCoy's corner Philadelphia Jack O'Brien kept calling, "Measure iTim, Kid; measure him!" and the Kid did. In fact, that is all he did do. In all of the other rounds McCoy kept stalking toward Stewart, "forcing the lighing," and every time that McCoy feinted with, his head, hands, or knees Stewart almost doubled up into a knot. It was apparent from the first that Stewart was terribly afraid of his smaller opponent. McCoy weighed 165 pounds, and Stewart's weight was announced as 200. When he stripped he looked to weigh at least ten pounds more. FOOTBALL TAKES ON NEW ASPECT TODAY. Gridiron Games Will Have an Important Bearingr on the Championship. Football of the championship variety will be played in the west today. Chicago takes on an unknown foe in Illinois. The downstate men claim that they will spring a surprise. Over at Ann Arbor Michigan and Notre Dame will hold a battle royal. Nebraska has the Gophers scared already at Minneapolis. There will be a chance at real comparison in Uie Wisconsin-Indiana fray at Bloomington, as the Maroons have already met the Hoosiers. Most of the games to date have been of the practice variety. Here in Chicago neither Purdue nor Indiana were much feared, and the Maroons tried out some new plays on them. But now that the Badgers are to take on Indiana there will be much interest in seeing how the Badgers are likely to class with the Midway boys. Wisconsin has evidently come back into the championship class with a rush. For the first time in years a real team seems to be representing the Cardinals. Many eyes will be pointed at Ann Arbor. The tied score with the Mlchi-

gan Aggies last Saturday sent chills of surprise down the backs of loyal alumni, who had never remembered such an experience. Notre Dame Is I known to have a good eleven and may spring fhe unexpected. I I CUBS RECEIVE CHECKS FOR $1,400 AS VICTORS. Triae Money Is Divided Among World's Champions. the Nineteen of the Cubs and Secretary Williams received Manager Chance's check for J1.400 apiece yesterday when the world's champs from the five days of toll with the Detroit Tigers. Secretary John E. Bruce of the national commission deposited the winner's share of the prize money in a local bank subject to Chance's order and to that sum of $27,669.11 was added $1,286.82, which represented onehalf the receipts from exhibition games played by the Cubs during the season. j Another item of a trifle over $500 was pui into me pool oy president Alurphy. The last sum represented the price of box seats unsold for the world series games played in Chicago. INDIANA IN 'PINK' FOR BADGERS Iloosler Rooters Back Eleven to Beat Coach Barry's Team. Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 16. Coach Sheldon's Indiana squad took a rest tonight, engaging in a short signal practice and going to bed to be In shape for the Wisconsin team tomorrow. Every man went through snappy signal practice except Captain Paddock, who stayed on the side lines to look after a bad right ankle. Despite three hard nights of scrimmage the Hoosiers are in the best form they have been in, and have twice as much endurance as last week. Wisconsin's team is at Indianapolis tonight resting. They arrive here - at 10 o'clock in the morning. If the weather is favorable there will be the biggest crowd on Jordan field in history. Spirit is high here with Indiana bets that the Hoosiers will score and win. Last night a mass meeting and bonfire led to rowdyism and Indiana students were in police court today, charged with attempting to rush the Harris Grand theater. President Bryan is investigating. NOTRE DAME PRACTICES ON WOLVERINES' FIELD. Hoosler Sqoad Shows Form In Its Preparation for the Game With Michigan This Afternoon. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 16. While the fast Notre Dame team was rushing through a whirlwind of formations on the lower field, the Wolverine squad with three veterans absent from the line-up, went through the formations that are expected to pull down a victory, tomorrow afternoon from the Catholic school. Twenty strong, the Indiana bunch arrived in Ann Arbor this afternoon and went immediately to Ferry field, where they had a secret workout. SOUTH CHICAGO DEFEATS AUSTIN The South Chicago high school football team yesterday defeated the Austin at River Forest by a score of 15 to 0.

Los Angeles, Oct. 17. Freddie Weeks and Al Wolgast meet tomorrow after noon at Jeffrieso in the amphitheater since it has been roofed over. A fair houseis expected. Wolgast is favorite at 3 to 5. XEWS AD IVOTES OF SPORTS. Baseball fans in Buffalo are hoping that Jimmy Collins, now with the Phila delphia Americans, will manage their team next season. Jim's home is in Buffalo. Two players of the champion Indianapolis team have more than made good in the major leagues. Bush with Detroit and Hayden with the Chicago Cubs. The University of Pennsylvania eleven has played great football so far, and barring accidents will give a good account of themselves in the big games. It is said that Princeton's prize play on the gridiron this season will be the backing of Harlan in his winning onside kicks. Western elevens are watching Chicago this season as a tip has been going the rounds that Coach Stagg has a wonderful team. Time will tell if the tip is correct. The discovery of Covaleski will furnish fodder for the Philadelphia baseball fans during the long winter months. His three, wins from the New York Giants in one week certainly is something worth talking about. Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee and Freddie Weeks of Cripple Creek are to furnish the next fistic attraction before the Jeffries club in Los Angeles. The two have been signed for a 25-round bout to take place next Tuesday night. Everything looks promising for the Yale-Harvard football game this year. So far the arrangements made In re gard to tickets, officials and other de-

tails of the great contest have been satisfactory to both sides. Considering the long period of his fighting career and the years that have elapsed since he retired from the ring, it is a little difficult at first to believe that the veteran exchampion, John L Sullivan, i3 celebrating his fiftieth birthday. And, best of all, he is not celebrating in his old-time way. Cornell has over 100 freshmen candidates for the 1912 eleven. Will Gardner, the sturdy end of last year's Carlisle team, is coaching a school eleven in Louisville. With nearly all their time taken up the West Point cadets have been compelled to practice by moonlight. The Harvard eleven will leave for Annapolis, Oct. 22, spending Friday night at the aBltlmore Country club and going to Annapolis Saturday morning by trolley. H. R. Lane, graduate manager at Dartmouth, is busy with arrangements for the Princeton-Dartmouth game to be played in New York. By cutting out football this year Swarthmore expects to fulfill the conditions of that celebrated legacy. It is said the college will be in line again next season. Three old Penn warriors, Billy Morice, George Brooke and Carl Williams, are helping to get the Pennsylvania squad in shape. Dave Campbell, the former Harvard star and who is now coaching the Crimson squad, says the team looks much stronger than this time last year. The freshman teams at both Harvard and Yale are deep in the work of preparationsfor their annual gridiron contest. In both universities it is the one great day for the "freshies." From present indications nearly an entire new team from the one that started the 'OS season will represent New York in the American League next spring. "Hit It" Criss of the St. Louis Americans kept up Ills reputation as a pinch hitter to the very end of the season. Once more the wonderful Honus Wagner heads the National League batting list. This is the season that the Pittsburg Dutchman has led the old organization in batting, which by the way is one of the greatest records in baseball. "Field days" are becoming popular among baseball teams. Cincinnati and Pittsburg are about the only major league teams that go in for the sport, but no end of minor . league clubs have a romp on the last day of the season. " While the Seattle team was a tailender in the Northwest League one member of the team sparkled like a sunburst on a piece of black velvet. Harry Rush is his name and if he can keep his pitching arm well greased

LEAVES

Raymond, Tribune's Correspondent, Puts Indiana in the Republican List As Result of Gary Visit the Last Few Days.

In his second story, written from Gary, Raymond, the Chicago Tribune's great correspondent, says in part: "In 1896, when Bryan first ran for the presidency. Lake county, which is one of the largest in Indiana territorially, cast a total of 8,403 votes. In 1900 this was increased to 9,201. Even in 1904 the total vote'of the county was only 10,050. , Great Influx of Workers. "In eight years, therefore, the voting strength of the county was increased much less than 2,000. At the close of this period the extraordinary development of the northwestern corner of Indiana began, so that all previous official statistics are at fault both as to its population and its voting influence at the present time. "Within the last four years vast changes have taken place in this lo cality. Whiting and Hammond were developed earlier, but Indiana Harbor and Gary have come into being since Roosevelt's election, because of the investment of corporate wealth by the scores of millions.. Here in Gary today the coD, ere are 5,000 workmen employed on nstruction wrork alone. They, are practically all voters be cause under the Indiana law 'first paper' or declaration of intended citizenship, is a passport to the franchise. In the independent steel mills at Indiana Harbor 3,200 men were employed at last accounts. At the least estimate there are from 15.000 to 25.000 workmen in the corner of the county next to the Chicago line who were not there four years ago. 2.0OO Voters in Gary. I was told in Gary, which had no corporate existence four years ago, that there would probably be a vote there this year of from 2.0Q0 to 2.500. This is the result of an actual poll made by the political managers. If the same rule holds good in Indiana Harbor, Hammond, and elsewhere, there must be concentrated here between 5,000 and 10,000 men who were voters in other states or lived in Europe when Roosevelt was elected in 1904. This estimate is probably much below the mark. "An actual canvass of the resident working class in Gary shows an overwhelming republican sentiment. The poll indicates a vote for Taft in proportion of 4 to 1, but the political managers, in order to be conservative, figure out that in a full poll of 2.200 votes in this town alone, Taft will have a majority of not less than 600. Workers Fear Free Trade. "There has been no attempt by the steel trust or any of the other great corporations interested to control the action of their men, and this has not been necessary. The plant at Indiana Harbor is making steel and the workmen there are naturally as much interested as those engaged in similar employment in Pennsylvania, in preventing any reduction of the tariff on free trade lines. "In Gary steel making has not yet begun, but the workmen are full of the idea that if Bryan should be elected capital would take alarm, whether rightly or wrongly, so that the trust might cut down its expenditures to the lowest possible notch consistent with the safety of the plant itself. "So large has been the influx of workmen into this section of Indiana, and so completely are their own interests bound up in the great corporations which employ them, that in the opinion of competent managers they would of themselves swing Indiana into the republican column if there were any danger of its going anywhere else. he will slip into the major league on time one of these days. To strengthen the second division teams seems to be the greatest need now in both major leagues. While the 'OS pennant races were close just half of the American and less than half of the National League teams had a look-in for the flag. In his account of the la'st BostonNew York game at New York a Boston scribe charges Bill Dahlen and George Brown of the Hub team with throwing the game to the Giants. Chance for the president of the National League to get busy.

DOUBTFUL STATES

"The steel trust js a non-union concern. In the other works, where the union has a foothold,: there is but little allegiance to Gompers and the national organization. Great Gains For Farty. "In Whiting, Hammond and some other industrial towns, the community is older and the men divide more natur ally on political lines; but here and at Indiana Harbor the republican sen timent is so overwhelming that the local political members of that party, like G. H. Manlove, the chairman here in Gary, are unwilling to trust to their own polls. They have sent back their canvassers again and again, only to receive the same reports. "Without any attempt at colonization, and by the operation of natural causes only, there has been added to the vot ing strength of Indiana thousands of men who for the time being at least are undoubtedly with the republicans

although In the years to come they may decide to cast their fortunes with some other political party. : "From what I have seen and heard in this vicinity, I feel morally certain

that the industrial voting strength of northwestern Indiana will give Taft the state, and in any event the total vote of Lake county will show next month phenomenal increase as compafed with that of four years ago.
