Nichols of Chicago, who is deeply interested in the welfare of this village and who has probably done more to promote its interests, was in town today. Mr. Joseph Matchea was in Chicago Heights on business today. Mr. James Lonergan and daughter, Mary, of Quecbec, Canada, who has been visiting his sister, Mrs. John Hill, has returned home.

It is rumored that W. B. McCormack is to be our. next village marshal, to

We hope that this is true, as "Buck"
is an all-around good scout. He has been one of the "big chiefs' of the
Burnham Indians and his appointment to the office of marshal will necessitate the holding of a special pow-wow by that society, to fill the rather LARGE vacancy left by our friend "Buck."

GETS OTIS BILL
Governor of California De
lays Action. Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 10. Governor
Gillett did not sign the Otis anti-race
track bill today, although the measure
reached his office late this afternoon,
duly engrossed and ready for his sig
nature. Although there have been reports that Gillett intended to make the
bill a law as soon as it reached his
hands, he announced that he would not
take it up out of its usual order and
would not in any case reach the meas
ure today.
New York, Feb. 10. Jem Prlseoll, the clever Englishman, meat Leach Cross in every period of their ten round engagement at the Fairmont A. C. tonight. The East Side dentist was simply bewildered from the first gong. Not once during the half hour's milling was Leach able to connect with a single
blow. His extra eight, pounds were
absolutely useless against the agilitv
and skill of the Briton.
Driscoll landed when and where he
pleased. That he did not knock Cross out was due to the fact that he did not carr ya wallop sufficient to dispose of the local boy. Twice the Brit
isher had Leach wobbling. On both
occasions Cross covered up until he
found himself again.
The speed, cleverness and ring gen
eralship of the Briton was amazing. He looked even better than on any of
his other appearances here. He block
ed all of Leach's leads for. the body in
the cleverest manner.
Occasionally Driscoll would show the
frantic audience his skill at ducking

Leach with his left ab until he had

By Frank L. Chance. 1 Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 10. We are after our fourth successive National league pennant and a third straight world's championship. I will reach Chicago Saturday, but probably too late to consult with President Murphy regarding the plans for the season, but Monday I will meet him, and we can get down to business. I am glad to be back in the harness and more than glad that the zero league season is at an end. Baseball is played on the diamond and that's where we are going to play it. This political season does not do the game any good, and the sooner we get to playing ball and forgetting the winter politics the better. I do not see any team that can beat the Cubs out of the pennant, but it is certain theo ther clubs will give us a fight. I have not been closely enough
to
In touch with my men this winter
know exactly what we' will do. However, I will arrange at once, as
soon as I get to Chicago, to have the pitchers who, according to my judge
ment, need training, . sent to Hot
Springs, Ark. Some of the men undoubtedly 'will not need to take the trip. After that I will get the team together and start for West Baden about March 11, and, keep the team there a week before going to Shreveport, where the entire team will gather, f . At present I have no trades in mind. I have some material .that might be traded off, provided any one has players to trade who would strengthen our team. ' , The Cubs, however, will start the season with just about the same lineup they had last year although Zimmerman will probably' be at second.
Milwaukee, Feb. 10. The plan to legalize the revival of boxing in Wisconsin came before the legislature today In the form of a bill to prohibit prize fighting, but to allow limited round affairs in cities where police supervision is provided. The introduction of the bill Is part of the plan of boxing promoters to practically" repeal the old law, which has been construed to even prevent amateur bouts. The ban was placed on the ring in Wisconsin when the FapkeKetchel affair was advertised as a championship affair. Governor David- ; son immediately ordered the sheriff to stop the affair, and there has been no ; public boxing match since. The bill of today was introduce dby Assemblyman Brew and follows: "Any person who shall by previous arrangement or acquaintment engage In a fight with another person for the obtainment of any prize, belt or evi-
Y dence of championship or for-any other ? cause shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than five years nor less than one year
or by a-nne not exceeomg i,uoo or
less than $100. "Boxing contests of male persona
over IS years of age, to continue for a
period of not over thirty minutes' duration, shall be permitted when conducted under the auspices of regularly organized and incorporated clubs." It is stipulated that five-ounce gloves must be used by the contestants. The terms of the bill do not prevent a purse being given, but simply make a championship emblem an unlawful trophy.

TROUBLE ON TEAM Bloomington. Ind., Feb. 10.

Tim O'Neil Knocks Out
George Godale in Second Last Night. A large number of Chicago sports braved the Icy winds last evening to witness the boxing contest in MIka's hall, in West Hammond. They, together with the local following of the game, saw a good preliminary and a good windup and what is more they were present at the signing of the articles by which Jimmy Clabby, the well-known Hammond welter-weight, is to meet Dick Fitzpatrick next Wednesday evening. It took only two rounds for Tim O'Xeil to put George Goodale out of the running. The South Chicago boy did the trick by the knockout route.
tun ami incidentally boosted himself
in the estimation of the local follow ers of the game.
In the preliminary Billy Sullivan
went six rounds with Kid Murray to a decision in his favor. The prelimi
nary was good ana was eu appre
ciated by those present.
There was only about half a house last evening, but It is expected that next Wednesday there will be the big
gest crowd in Mika s hall that was
ever packed into the place on the occa
sion of a boxing contest.
Last evening the followers of the fighting game were given something to look forward to when Jimmy Clabby, who went to Milwaukee from Hammond and made a great reputation for himself, will come back to his home town and show the boys just what he can do as a fighter. The articles of agreement were signed between Clabby and Dick Fitzpatrick, by which they will meet in Mika's hall Wednesday nisht. They
agree to weigh 142 pounds at 3 o'clock and will fight ten rounds. Clabby Is training over the old Commercial Bank building every day and expects to get into shape by Wednes
