FORBES EASY WIIHIER,

STOPS FITZGERALD Itl BOUIIDTHREE Come Back" Bantam Outclasses Milwaukee Boy at Gary. Harry Forbes, the former bantam weight champion, clearly demonstrated that he was in "come back" condition last night before the National Athletic club of Gary, when he knocked out Toung FiUgerald in the third round of a fight which was scheduled to go ten rounds. It was Forbes' fight from the tap of the first gsng and he is certainly entitled to his fight with Johnny Coulon at Toronto, Canada, on May 19, as he displayed his former ring generalship and his clever right hand punch which has put many an aspirant for the title to the mat for the countForbes boxed as well as he ever did in his life, and Johnny Coulon, the bantam champ, who sat at the ring side, eid so after the scrap. "Forbes certainly looks good to me. I guess we will have to get together and decide who is the better man. Har ry fought like a new champion instead of one who reigned ten years ago. His left was lightning fast and when he shot that famous right cross over he shook Fit from head to toes." Forbes started out the boat by feel ing out his opponent. In the start his Judgment of distance was poor and he missed several good punches, but as he warmed up he changed his tactics and wa3 master of himself. Fitzgerald, on the other hand, was hard to locate, as he covered up on every opportunity and when he did not fight he tried to mix up in clinches. In the second round Harry had his man groggy after a ripping right uppercut to the Jaw and a left to the body. He had Fitz weak and blowing at the bell. They had not been going but a few seconds in the third round when Fits went to the floor in a mixup. He took the count of nine and when he got upHarry dropped him with a left to the chin. Fitz stayed down the limit, then Forbes crossed a right to the Jaw and It was all over. . The crowd was not as large as it was at the former exhibition at Gary and It is estimated that only 800 peo ple saw the fight. Five hundred came down on a special train from Chicago and Hammond and South Chicago brought over a goodly legation of fight fans. In the preliminaries Tony Conceldi of Gary stopped Jimmy Val of Boston in the second round. Referee Santry stopping the one-sided affair. In the second bout Kid Benny of Gary was disqualified for repeated fouling by Referee Santry in the second round of his bout with Ray Dodson of Chicago. In the semi-wlndup Young Clabby, a brother of Jimmy Clabby of Hammond, stopped Toung Nelson of Englewood In the second round. Santry ordered Nelson to his corner when the Chicago boy was practically helpless. CLABBY BOXES BROf I TEH ROUNDS MAY 18 George "Knockout"' Brown will be the first opponent Jimmy Clabby meets since his return from Australia. The Hammond middleweight yesterday signed articles to meet the "Fighting Greek" in a ten round contest before the Hammond A. C. on the night of May 18. Under the articles the boys are to weigh in at 154 pounds at 3 o'clock. Forfeits for weight and appearance will be posted Thursday with a Chicago paper and the match then will be definitely closed. Dahhr onH 4irun Kaa.. Jl.l. ering for a match for some time, but Frank Mulkern, who is looking after: the business affairs of the Hammond j boxer, refused to let Jimmy arrange a ! match until an injured hand was thor- j oughly healed. Clabby yesterday an- J nounced that ills mauler was In good shape again and the contest was ar-. ranged. The bout should be an Interesting one and will afford Brown the most severe tryout he has had. Clabby is by far the classiest man with whom he has been matched. It- will be a struggle between a boxer of the Kid McCoy type and one of the roughest millers that ever stepped Into the ring, Clab'07 being the clever boy of the pair. NEW YORK RING FANS ARE STIRRED New York. May 9. Not In some time have the fight fans In Greater New York been so worked up over a scrap as they are over the ten round bout between Knockout Brown and Tommy Murphy, which takes place In Brooklyn Thursday night. These lads are the best two lightweights in this vicinity, and as they have already engaged in a-furious ten round battle their coming go promises to be a much harder fought scrap. Both are in fine condition and below the weight. 133 pounds.

There wasn't any fight left in the White Sox after the fourth inning of their battle with the Detroit Tigers yesterday afternoon at the south side park. Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford knocked it out of them with a triple and double respectively, and from then to the end the Sox played a sleepy and listless game, while the Tigers scampered away with another victory, the final score being 8 to 2. The game became so one-sided that in thee losing round the Tigers actual ly refused to run out their hits, as H such means were the only way to put an end to the contest. It seemed they stopped the Sox in their attack with scarcely an' effort. They always were in the right place to get the ball. They scored their runs with ridiculous ease, and Ty Cobb displayed such delightful prowess on the base lines that the crowd applauded him time after time. There was nothing they could applaud with their hearts. Nothing except the pitching of Frank Lange in the lone second inning. In that round the "Iron Man" fanned three in a row, making Morlarty, O'Leary and Stanage whiff rthe air frantically' 1n their efforts to hit the ball.

Manager Chance worked out a new plan of attack for the Cubs during their long cross-country run yesterday. It includes a shakeup both in the batting order and on the infield with a view to producing the strongest attack. Doyle will be kept at third, where his work in the field and at bat has been of distinctly major league caliber in the few games he has played recently. Zimmerman will go In at second until Evers recovers. That three base hit which Heine made In the tenth inning Sunday had quite as much to do with the manager's decision to put him at second as did the errors made by Shean in the same tenth inning. In the new arrangement Sheckard will be given the task of setting the pace during the absence of Evers. Schulte will be promoted to Sheckard's regular place, second on the list. The new batting order which will be flashed on the Giants today is as follows: Sheckard, If; Schulte, rf; Hofman. cf; Chance, lb; Doyle, 3b; Tinker, ss; Zimmerman, 2b; Archer, c; Brown, PColts Defeat C.

M ill COAST IS SAVEDBY COURT Judge Rules That Wolgast and Memsic Engaged in "Exhibition." Los Angeles. Cal., May 9. A knockout victory for the California boxing game was registered this morning when Judge Frank R. Willis of de- i partment II. of the superior court ' granted the application for a writ of habeas corpus made by Promoter T. J. McCarey of the Pacific Athletic club and ordered that McCarey,. light weight champion Ad Wolgast. George Memsic and Referee Charles F. Eyton be discharged from custody and the charge of violating the state law against prize fighting 'dismissed. The men were arrested by representatives of the district attorney's office at the finish of the : Woigast-Memslc contest at Vernon on March 17 last. ! In granting the writ Judge Willis declared that the bouts that have been' given In Los Angeles for years under the auspices of the Pacific Athletic club! were "boxing exhibitions," which came within the state law. "It was proved on the part of the defendants that the exhibition at Vernon on March 17 was given by the two contestants for a fixed compensation," said Judge Willis. "Therefore there was nothing in the nature of a prize or reward dependent on the skill exhibited or the result of the contest." Judge Willis thereupon granted the writ of habeas corpus and subsequently dismissed the charges against Wolgast, Memsic and Eyton. TITO TIMES IS TRYING HARD TO MEHIT THE SUCCESS IT HAS ACHIEVED.
