KELLY STOPS KENNY IN FOURTEENTH Dayton, O.. June 8. Spike Kelly of Chicago stopped Dan Kenny of New Tork here last night, the fight being halted by the police In the fourteenth round to save Kenny further punishment. The fight was o(e of the fastest ever seen here. Kenny was floored four times in the tenth round and once

In the fourteenth. Billy Wagner, another of Fred Gilmore's stable, fought a draw with Charley Goodman of New York in fifteen rounds. Wagner forced the fighting throughout and had a shade the better of his man.

The greatest battle ever pulled off in these parts since the days of the old Columbia Athletic club is slated for Hammond tonight, bringing together Knockout Brown and Jimmy Clabby. This battle at Hammond Is proving one of the best attractions In the pugl-

listlo line that has been staged hereabouts in many moons. Brown, a Greek boy, and the favorite of thousands of that nationality who live in Chicago, Is a big drawing card. Clabby Is the pride of Hammond, and every man who has the price will be at the ringside when the bell starts them oft. The sale of the pasteboards at Bloom & Mayer's Indicates a packed house, as a big share of the reserved sections already are gone. The sale will be continued today and the promoters expect that every ticket will be disposed of before the special train pulls out of the Polk street station at 7:30. The train will stop at Forty-seventh and Sixtythird streets to pick up the South Side delegation. The bout tonight is a puzzle to pick.

The majority of the fans - appear to.

think that Clabby Is too clever to be

caught by the Greek In ten rounds and expect him to win on points. Others declare the K. O. lad is too tough and strong for Clabby and will be sure to beat him after the first five rounds. Really, It looks like a corking go from every standpoint. Clabby Is a beautiful boxer. He is heady, experi

enced, has fought all over the world and knows the game from A to Z. He can punch a bit, too, and Is a mighty hard man to beat in a half hour of fighting. Brown lacks Clabby's skill. But he is stronger, more rugged and carries a dream punch in either hand. He. Is a swinger, not a Jabber, and when he lands the right something breaks. Brown can take a harder licking than Clabby and is as game as they make them. If Clabby fights a clever battle all the way he-should be able to stand off Brown and outbox him. But if he finds the going too rocky and starts to mix, then somebody is going to get a real lacing. It is a battle which may go either way and we won't know until they get through tonight who is the better man.

LANGFORD -JOHNSON GO IS ON, AVERS WOODMAN - Boston, June 8. "Jack Johnson and Sam Langfopd are likely to meet Labor day at Badensburg, half way between Baltimore and Washington," said Joe Woodman, manager of Sam Langford, today. "The Maryland legislature passed a law permitting boxing contests. Four men in Washington and Baltimore are now trying to find out if, under the law, the governor will stand for a boxing bout between Johnson and Langford. They have opened negotiations for the men, but they are held up while they wait to see what the governor says. They have enough money to stage' such a bout. "Before Johnson sailed for England months, but I have seen a telegram from Tom Flanagan, who sailed with him, saying that they expected to return in August and that he would come back then on account of the Badensburg proposition."

WILL FIGHT AT GARY.

Eddie McGoorty of Oshkosh and "Young" Mahoney of Racine have been matched to box ten rounds at Gary on June 23. It was intended to stage the mill June 16, but the promoters and managers figured June 23 the better date. Articles were signed yesterday and forfeits posted and the fighters will weigh In at 162 pounds at 2 o'clock.

JEANETTE LAUDS

"H0?E" MORRIS New York, June 8. Joe Jeanette, who was engaged to teach Carl Morris a few things about boxing, has returned to this city from Morris' camp in Oklahoma. "I think Morris Is the most likely looking heavyweight in the

world today," was his declaration on his arrival. "He is a natural fighter and has a great right hand, in which he packs a terrific wallop. 'He has the making of a great fighter. Of all the white hopes that I have seen he is the only one that is at all promising. He is quick to learn and should beat Jim Flynn July 4 without trouble. "Morris is as game a man as ever drew on gloves. He loves to fight and is only too anxious to get a crack at the hard ones."

Gamea Today. Brooklyn at Chicago. New York at Pittsburg. Philadelphia at Cincinnati Boston at St. Louis. Out Cubs booted themselves out of first place yesterday by handing Brooklyn the second game of the current series 5 to 3 in a contest that was a contest in spite of as poor playing as has been seen on the same lot for considerable time. At least six errors were made behind King Cole, whose luck has apparently changed, and half of these slips were expensive because they were mixed in with some of the nine solid swats the Infants made off his majesty's delivery. Many times the King and his support rallied in bad spots and turned runs away from the plate when they seemed sure to count. Once Sheckard came to the rescue with a perfect shot to the plate which killed off one daring runner. Once Heine Zim pinched a line drive that averted trouble. Once Kling turned a passed ball into an out that retired the side. But these were the brighter spots.

Another leaky rain spread over Manhattan island Just after lunch yesterday and caused a second postponement of the fence busting contest between the White Sox and the Highlanders. No one has offered a prediction as to when the weather man will relent and allow the eager Broadway fans a chance to witness a ball game. The greatest Interest lies In "Come back," Callahan, and "Come on," Uodie. Both are getting extensive space In the sporting pages and curious fans have gathered at the hotel to get a peep at them. Callahan received a new consignment of bats today all monogramhied and blackened for service and has promised Ping the use of one of them In the next game. The effete east has waited for weeks to see this clouting pair and the chances are if they ever play a game here there will be a tremendous crowd present.

MECURIES WIN. The Mercuries of East Chicago added more laurels to their record when they defeated the Hammond All Saints in a hotly contested game of 11 to 6. The game was a tie, 6 to 6. from the third Inning until the eighth, when the Mercuries made their regular slugging finish and were not stopped until they had tallied five more runs. The feature of the game was the hitting of the Tague brothers of East Chicago and W. Flynn of Hammond. Two double plays made by the Mercuries was another feature. The game was for a side bet of $10.

Attendance 200. Strike outs, by Morgan, 9; by Flynn, 9. Batteries, East Chicago Mercuries, Morgan and Delor;

The Mercuries would like to refute a statement given out by the Gary

team which Is as follows: That the

Gary team defeated the Mercuries Sun

day, May 28, by a score of 21 to 9. The falsity of this statement is plain, as the Mercuries have not played the

Gary team since April 30, when they

defeated Gary by a score of 18 to 6.

Mercuries later learned that the team which lost to the Gary team was the

Calumets, a team which the Mercuries

trimmed 21 to 7. F. E. KEENANi Manager Mercuries, East Chicago.
