He could not tell where his home was. but said he entered the box car in the northern part of Michigan to take a nap. He said he was without a home or friends in that part of the country. When he awoke in the car he found the train moving and that the door had been locked. He pounded and kicked on the door, but in vain. He finally gave it up and lay down," when the next Stop' was made he again attempted to attract attention, but It was fruitless. Finally, becoming exhausted from lack of food and water, he sank to the floor

TA1Y MURPHY DID II!
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 2. Before 5,000
people In the National Athletic club last night Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee took
one of the most complete six round beatings ever given a pugilist In Pittsburg. Harlem Tommy Murphy gave the man who stood Battling Nelson off for
ten rounds a most complete drubbing
and it was the opinion of most of the audience that Murphy would have
knocked Wolgast out in a ten round
fight though the Harlem iyan has not the punch that Wolgast is reputed to
carry.
The six round battle almost ended
in a riot. Wolgast, under a whirlwind
of blows from Murphy at fhe end of
the fight lost his head and was holding on to Murphy against the ropes trying
to hold long enough to hit while the nimble Murphy was rocking Wolgast's head with blows. The seconds and two policemen jumped into the ring and broke them apart. Had the laws of Pennsylvania permitted a decision Murphy would have been given it as the fight was his all the way.
Wolgast, who seemed very strong.
trusted to his rushes and swings, which
were the delight of Murphy, who bored Into his face and body with a hard left. Wolgast on several different occasions rushed Murphy to the ropes and sought to put him out with vicious swings, but he usually was outswung and forced to break ground or was sent against the ropes by Murphy, who would slip past him. Wolgast, who prefaces his rushes with a hissing sound like that of a snake, started after Murphy in the first round with a vicious left rip for the body which Murphy cleverly stepped outside of. at the same time straight

He danced around him, shooting in his left at will, dodging the vicious swings which Wolgast sen at him. After the crowd saw that Murphy was master of the western man there were loud and incessant calls for him to put Wolgast out. but Murphy either did not have the steam or was playing safe, being content to jab him to distraction.

Several years ago he held the office of vice president of the National Freight Claim association. Though the next governorship election in Illinois is more than three years

Brooklyn, Sept. 2 Cub musicians played a symphony of base hits on the dodgers' leading pitching instrument, George Bell, at Washington Park yesterday afternoon, and after the Academy Corners, Pa., athlete had been withdrawn, Chance's climbers clawed Finlayson, a New England League recruit The score was 12 to 0.

There will be something more than a picnic and as good as a circus for the fans of Hammond to witness next Sunday afternoon at Harrison park. The big attraction will be the game between the All Saints and St. Joseph club. Since the reorganization of the All Saints tea ma game between the Irish and the Germans has been long looked for, and if the weather man will be so generous as to bring forth a good day the people of Hammond will get to see a snappy game. To see the Irish and Germans play to beat each other will be interesting to witness, and not only that, but the fifty big, round washers which will be the amount of the purse. Both teams will play the best ball that the team can put forth, and the game Is expected to draw the biggest crowd that has witnessed a game at the park this season Big Fd, the violin tickler, will try to defeat the All Saints, and Hofner will
oppose him. Both pitchers are In the best of form and at the rate the teams are going now there will be an awful
mix up.
The teams have taken the trouble to stretch ropes around tlie diamond and both teams are doing their best to
them on the street make all manner of sympathetic remarks about her. They do not mean to be unkind or to seem unmanly, but it is natural for a man to dislike fat on a woman. Where fat shows the most there is where it must be removed, and as quickly as possible. Tht hot weather dresses seem to be made for the fat woman's misery and the slender woman's delight. They expose all the charms of woman and her ugliness as well. Exercise
and diet will not remove fat. This has been proved. The famous Marmola prescription which has met with such phenomenal success and has so many of our society women as Its sponsors, is now being sold in tablet form to meet the demand of the public for this style of treatment. These little tablets go into your system just like food. They stop the stomach and digestive apparatus from producing fat and reduce the fat upon the body at the rate of from 12 to 15 ounces a day. They are harmless and can be carried in your purse and taken even after you have Indulged in a hearty meal away from home. They are sold at all drug stores at 75 cents a case, or if you prefer you may wirte the Marmola Co., Iept. 34S. Detroit. Mich.

In a hurried attempt to complete a double play Evers chucked to to right field bleachers In the eighth, permitting McMillan, the only dodger thus honored, to land at the ex-Troy merchant's baseball station. AYhen the cubs came out for action Jimmy Sheckard was holding the second finger of his throwing hand erect.
A fly ball landed on the digit in yesterday's game and kept Sheckard on the bench, while Joe Stanley did relief work. Stanley scored two runs, batted in a pni rand was alert on the sacks, livers and Tinker were the only cubs who did not add something substantial to their swat piles.

Forced from the game by an injury to his shoulder, Cantillon's great right
hander came home from Chicago for a
neded rest. The pitcher hurt his arm during a recent contest at Cleveland.
He said his condition was such that
he could not play another game this season. It is feared that one of the
ligaments In his arm is torn, and in this event he has scant hope of ever getting back into winning form. Johnson has engaged in forty games this season.

B. Hawk of Philadelphia over J. Floyd Pay of Nashville, the scores being 7-5, 2-6, 6-3. Reuben Holden of Yale had to use his best endeavors to beat William Hopple of Cincinnati, 6-4, 9-7, while Nat Emerson, the ex-western champion, had a comparatively easy victory, 6-4, 6-2, over C. R. Sloan of Marietta. Ohio. ('. N. Beard of Cleveland had to go three sets before trimming Starbusk Smith, Cincinnati. 6-0, 6-3, and Nat Thornton defeated Cliff Lockhorn, a Cleveland player, 6-4, 6-3.

Trux Emerson of the western doubles champions. S-6, 6-S, 6-5. Emerson was flagged at the finish. Tomorrow Nat Emerson plays Carlton R. Gardner, the California!!, who beat a local player. Waidner meets Pr. Hawk; Holden goes against Palmer, and Nat Emerson against Carr.
Young of Freeport, both in the "Wisconsin-Illinois League, have been purchased by the Boston Americans. The Chicago White Sox have been playing nice ball the past month, but it looks to be too late now for the Sox to start anything. "Giants'; seems to be the Cincinnati Reds' middle name. All of the New York pitchers have got theirs at the hands of the Reds this season. The Cleveland club is still hot after Ben Henderson, the- Oakland (Cal.) pitcher, but Ben doesn't like to stay away from home over night. Manager Roger Bresnahan of the St. Louis Cardinals has entered the game of gathering youngsters and has a great string of minor leaguers in line. It must have been Paddy Livingstone who won the American association pennant for Indianapolis last season. Since
Paddy joined the Athletics the Hoosiers have sunk out of sight. Both the Chicago and Detroit pennant poles have been shattered by lightning this summer. That hunch is strong enough to make you hook
your purple shirt to get a bet down that neither the Cubs nor Tigers will cop the flag. Jackson Johnson and Battling Nelson deny the report . that they contemplated going into the hotel business. England is to have another championship bout between Gunner Moir and Ian Hague. Will no one stop these cruel affairs? An Atlanta scrapper has taken the name of YounPunkhorst. If he fights like the original Human Freight Car they had better stop him before he starts. Sailor Burke still contends that he was doped in his recent bout with Willie Iewis. Put it in writing, Sailor, and send it to the Haikwar of Bullorino. "Mexican Pete" E -erett, the heavyweight, has returned home and is in jail in Trinidad. Colo. Pete claims he was training for a fight with' Jim Flynn. but the police say he was beating up his wife.
