Jimmy Clabby. Hammond's coming
welter-weight, is in Hammond for a
week, the guest of his people here, and
tated to The Times, whose offices he
visited this morning, that he would not
fight again until Jan. 2, when he meets Paddy Lavin at Dayton, Ohio. Jimmy and his father, who was with him, are both delighted at his prospects and are very grateful to The Times for the sup
port it has givon him, the "Fair Play" barfly nothwithstanding. The Times-
Democtat of New Orleans in speaking
of the Gardner fight, says:
"The Clabby-Gardner fight was the
outcome of a fifteen round scrap by the same men at the Acfoss-the-River club Nov. 7. Gardner was given the
decision, greatly to the dissatisfaction
of the Clabby cohorts, and a return
match was arrangtd. Clabby excelled
at infighting, used a wicked left to ad
vantage, and sent home a peculiar up
percut which almost invariably found
Its resting place against Gardner's nose 1 or mouth. Gardner used the right to kidneys, was a trifle stronger than Clabby, but the Hammond boxer was
the aggressor all the way through and several times had the Lowell man breaking ground. Twice the referee warned Clabby about not breaking on command, but to the spectators it appeared that Gardner was leaning on
Clabby and holding his oponent's arm.
Gardner's seconds, especialy his brother
George, kept up a running fire throughout the mills of ."Why don't you break away, Clabby? Break, Clabby." And
all the time Gardner "was doing the stalling.
Crowd With Clabby. "Clabby had the sympathy of the
crowd, and every blow he landed
brought cheers, but early in the contest it became apparent that neither had the punch to drop the other. Twice Clabby was fought through the ropes, and once Gardner slipped in a wild
rush, but that was the extent of the damage. The only blood spilled came when Gardner stepped Inside "of a
swing, Clabby's glove striking and
opening an old cut on his neck.
"The draw decision , was pleasing to
most spectators, though some set up a
cal for Clabby. George Gardner
climbed Into the ring to object, but climbed out again when Woods said.
'Now you get right .out of this ring'
"The bout at the start promised to be unsatisfactory as it was under straight Marquis of Queensberry rules, each
man to protect himself at all times
with a side understanding they were
to break on command of the referee, Considerable wrestling was indulged iv
at first, but after , the fighters got
warmed up they did some rea fighting."

On account of the injury of one of the players on the team of the East Chicago Tigers, :n yesterday's game with the team representing the Hammond Athletic association, the contest was called off at the end of the first half and will be played over next Sundry.

teams is now so great that It will be
interesting to watch the contest.
The Hammond players are confident that they can simply eat up the East Chicago team if they get a chance, and
East Chicago Is equaly- confident. ,
If the game results in a 0 to' 0 score it Is probable that the, game will be continued throughout the winter, until one or the other , of the teams proves
ltsef ; the winner.
The game . yesterday was played through' the first' half, but In the second half, Murphy of East Chicago, was injured and " the game was called off
until next Sunday. The rain also made the playing of the game unpleasant for both the players and spectators, and that was an additional reason for calling off the game until next Sunday.

Freddie Welch, the clever English boxer, who outpointed Abe Attell on Thanksgiving Eve and has now challenges
Batling Nelson for the lighweight championship of the world, is a vegetarian. His sister, Miss Kate Welch, has been in control of his training quarters in Los Angeles fer several months and is a great favorite with the fans.
Hards were prepared for the shock.
Lndoubtedly the disappointing finish
to the amateur careers of Poggenburg and Gardner will prove a setback for
the sport, as they have long been at the head of the National Association of Billiard Players the official amateur organization. However, the loss ' of those two leaders and Conklin will not
prove such a blow as to knock out future tournaments, according to local followers of the sport.
WANT 'MEKKLE RULE' CHANGED.
Suggestion Made to Herrmann for Al
teration of Baaebnll Law. Cincinnati, Nov. 30. It has been sug
gested that the baseball rule which made the Merkle play possible in New
York last season be alterated so that
if a batter makes a hit a man can score
from third base whether a man on first
reaches second or not. The umpire
must Judge whether or not a hot was made.
President Garry Herrmann of the na
tional commission, when he heard of the proposed change, said: "Such a thing would be impossible. , Umpires
cannot manufacture hits. It is not up to him to make hits for the players. They must do that themselves.'
"Instead of thinking about changing that rule the owners who are considering such a thing had better get busy and tell their players not to overlook the fine points of the game. "That rule is as necessary as any in the book and It should not be changed. I wouldn't like to be an umpire if it was up to me to decide whether or not the player had made a hit if the result of the game depended upon the decision. If the rules governing baseball are changed to conform with the ideas of a few would-be reformers who
are anxious to let the Giants down easy
for making a stupid play which lost the National league championship for them, the umpires in the big leagues will have more trouble than ever.
FAST TIME IS MALE IN
LONG RUN AT OAKLAND.
San Francisco, Nov. 30. In the so-
called Marathon race held yesterday
under the auspices of tho Century Athletic club of Oakland, Cornelius Connolly, an Irishman, 33 years old, covered the distance of slightly less than twenty-one miles in 1:51:25. The course was marked - out along country roads and most of the distance was run on the road, although at times the men would take to sidewalk. There were twenty-five entries and all but two finished, although the second man. Soldier King, was ten minutes behind the wonderful time made by the winner.

FAIL TO KICK FOOTBALL; SHOT.
Hunters Want Pigskin for a Target, Then Fire on Players. Lattimer, Pa., Nov. 30. Angered because their demand that the football be kicked into the air that they might shoot at it, was refused, three hunters who appeared from the woods skirting the football field yesterday afternoon, fired into the players of the local and Minerville teams, who were engaged in a scrimmage. All the players but Daniel Burke and Joseph Sommers ran, these two being so badly wounded that their recovery Is doubtful. After a chase by automobile Jack Shriner, Charles and Joe Gooditis, all of Hazelton, were arrested as the shooters and held without bail.
