CLABBY JR. GETS DRAW I SCRAP

snmmi'sa

Demonstrating fiwc.l and

as well a cleverness di.5.ilaj ! In (ruierous quantities at the Mot.se 8 tan last r.itflit. Kibiio rl.iMy of Hammond won distinction fr himself when ho earned a draw In ;i f;ist and furious ten-round bout. Ken-hell, who was famed for hiM cleverm'sis. was outlioxed .is well as outs'.Usrtcrd, and even outtrenerp led in the tenth round when e'iabby. by an onslaught of vleious : Urhts and b-fts on Ketciiell's Jaw which not only showed a telling effect, but had the t't.tc.itro demon ready for the; count. One more hardy putuh would have sent Ken-hell reeling to the tloor, but he clinched with flabby in the cloKinp round and evidently saved h:r,iiflf from a knockout. Kt ichell with his eyes half closed elunir desperately to Clabby. who after trying with all his mitrht to break, foun.l his attempts wpre futile. Strengthened by tll

to po t ack into 11 clinch acaln wlien

the bell took away t.'labby'g only chance. Had the f.irht been a twelve-round fco. there is little doubt but what Clabby would have earne.l a decision, as he piled up enouch points in the closing two rounds to earn him a draw. The first five or six rounds saw Ketchell with a, slieht shde over dabby. Instead of laylnir in wait for h'.s opponent like Keti'hell did. dabby rushed the ticht during the entire n-n rounds and nlthougrh t.ikint; some vicious b'.ows from th haidened Kt-t-rheU. dabby waded in nnd 1,1 me back for more. dabby show-oil class of which champions are made. He was

cool and never seemed to doubt his I by

ability. Trained down to the minute, with the surprising showing h mnde. last nijt'nt Clabby Is belna: watched by ranks of the top-nntcb.ers. The ten-round go between "Vountc Bishop of V.'hUinir ;,r.d Kid KIchle of Fouth' Chieaco, proved interesting as far as It went, but In the fourth round Hichle received a cut on his forehead and the flstht was stopped. Bishop had his man shaded In the first four rounds, showing a wonderful Improvement over his recent bouts. He not only had some darmcdnjr punches, but

Fhovved considerable cleverness and footwork. The four round bout between two 100-pounders from East Chicago put up a neat exhibition for youngsters and pranced around the ring like little veterans. In the wrestliner match Kaufman easily won from Curley Davis, the only fall endlnir in 1 minute and 12 seconds. Grady and Knleton, two wellknown Hatnmord sonpsters and Village cutups. rendered several pleasinn selections while waiting for the boxirifr exhibitions, and each time were encored for more. In nil the Moose stan was a hue success, the order proving themselves jjrent entertainers and drawing an at

tendance which packed the hall. This 1

is the fust or a series or stacf. another one beinp, arranged for the near future.

DOUBLE BY STAHL HUMBLESSOX. 3-1 Chicago Boy Banker Drives Out Swat in the Eighth With Bases Loaded.

CUBS LOOSE TWICE: HOPE DYING FAST

Double Dose of Defeat Lowly Braves Killing Blow.

by

Kostoti, Mass.. Sept. 13 What little pennant hope hovered over the camp of the Cuba dwindled down almost to a dinR i,-asp yesterday, when the lowly float on trailers licked the Chicago aspirants twice in a double-header. They took the first pame with ridiculous ease, 7 to and the second with disKustinpr luck, 7 to 4. It was the old story of weak bat

tery work that caused the downfall of the Cubs. Offensive prowess was lacking in the rlrst pame, and even with perfect pitehinc and catehintr the Cubs couldn't have scored a victory, for as it was they pot nary" a run. Three Cub tw, tiers, Toney. T'eulbach nnd Madden, had a hand in the Job In the first pame, and they were opposed

the veteran southpaw. Otto Hess.

Hess had one of his pood days and a lot of dandy luck, and just breezed throuph. He was hit on the thumb in battinp in the otshth - inning and had to pive up the Job to Hub Perdue to finish for him.

J. Garland Stahl, Chicago's celebrated boy banker, set Chicapo's celebrated White Sox back several points below sea level yesterday with h twobase punch in the eiphth innlnp, which deposited three waltinp runs on the platter and broke up a swell pitchers' battle between Aid. Frank I,anpe and Huck OT.rlen. The score was 3 to 1 and the boy banker's bat practically did it all. The liases wer? saturated with Ued

Sox and two were out when the south

side banker strode to the plate with sturdy determination in his manaperial bearlnp, omitting, in his eaperneBS, the traditional detail of spittinp on his hands to sipnify his intent, and smote the first ball pitched to him far over left center, where nobody was and nobody could pet in time to rob the banker. Four pairs of red lops vibrated as

as their proprietors could them. Three pair bore their to the place of registration a of feet northeast by west of

and the other pair carried second, where thev paused.

Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 13. At a meetinp- of the officials of the American Automobile association last nipht it was decided to pontpone the prand prix race in the Vanderbllt cup series from Sept. 17 to 23. The track wan so far from complete, it was announced, that it would be neeeHsary to pive the local authorities that much additional time in which to pet the course in safe shape for drivinp. The other races in the schedule will be held as originally dated. this chanpe mnkinp the first races on the propram the two new and less important events, with the Vanderbilt and prand prix to close the series.

For a flpht between Johnson and Sam Lrfiripford. Mcintosh offers $30,000. For a fipht with N;.m McVey or Joe Jeannette, he will grtve tln.OoQ. Kelly is also anxious to match Tanpford and Tommy .Burns, who held the championship before Johnson won it. but how much this match was worth did not appear. The Johnson-L.anarford match would be held on Dec. 2fi bnxlns day, .'is it is known in Australi.i.

Jack Johnson, negro champion pu-

' pili st of the world, wept yesterday as

he denied be ever had been brutal to bis white wife. Ktta Johnson, who killed herself by shootinp on Wednesday nipht. Johnson was testifylnp at a coroners inquest at 2905 State street. The champion is throuph with the fipht pame for all and pood, he said at the inquest. He said he will never fipht apaln. "My wife was prostrated by overwork workinp over me when I was in the mood that she was in when she killed herself," said the black prize fiphter. "If it had not been for Etta

myself by leapinp hotel in Portland,

I would have killed from a window of a

Me., a year apo. "My wife stayed up niphts nursinp me. As a result she became a nervous wreck. There is no telllnp what I shall do now. I may kill myself.

There never was a better wife. 1 never expect to marry a woman like Etta. "All talk of family trouble is false. A few days apo I boupht her a diamond rinp and a sealskin coat. I may appear dry eyed now, but this morninp I could not eat for weepinp for my old pal, Ktta." Johnson's sister, Mrs. O. Khodes. Fannie Johnson and Mrs. Mabel Colden. 424S Maplewood avenue, testified they knew Mrs. Johnson was despondent. "Toots" Marshall, manaper of Jack Johnson's south side resort. with William Ostron. n!so testified the negro's wife was peculiarly melancholy. Mrs. Tiny Johnson, the putilist's mother, did not attend the inquest. Friends say the dead woman worshiped the champion, but Jack's devotion was lacklnp. When the champion opened his cafe, Mrs. Johnson volunteered to take tharpe of the restau

rant. She hired the help, took eharpe of the replster in the kitchen, saw that every dinner order was eorret t before the tray was sent down in the dummy waiter, and worked at least ten hours a day to help make tht champion's business a success.

8TAGG ASKS HELP; NO LOCKED GATES

New Wall to Field Will Not Be Finished in Time for Secret Practice.

Instead of beinp completed for the practice, eic-rolscs the wall probably will not b-- up in time for the first ; pame. and the prospects for the new j concrete stand on the west side of the field are in the same state. I The Improvements at Marshall Meld, j which are to cost J200.000, will pive the Maroons one of the stateliest and j most artistic homes In the athletic

world, but Coach Stapp fears that the beauty of the structures will not meet conditions in time to pive him a secret stampinp pround until the middle of the season. Coach Stapp had planned to pive the Maroons drill behind locked pates from the start this year as one means of pettinp the Jump on the "big nine" teams and overcominp the handicaps of a small squad. He will have no pates to lock for a time at least, and he may have to take his pupils to a new camp In some secluded suburb. The fact that the prand stand will not be finished in time for the Indiana pame Oct. 5 will not be so serious as the disappointment repardinp the fence. The east bleachers seat 5,000 persons and arrangements can be made to furnish standlnp room for lO.OOi) more at the ends of the field If necessary. This amount of space will be sufficient for the early season crowd.

How to hold secret football practice In an open space in full view of a crowd of spectators is the newest enigma, both rinp Coach A. A. Stapp of the University of Chicago. The probb-m bobbed up yesterday when the director was informed that the tu-w wall now in process of construction at Marshall ti-ld would not be finished in time for the openinp of the practice season a week from today. A shortage of steel for the concrete fence is responsible for the delay, which threaten to become serious.
