The Ennlewood Maroons were scheduled as the Tigers- opponents, but at the last minute they canceled the paint, and Manager liascall secured the Center A. C. team for the cranio. The Tigers were outweighed ten pounds to the man and were trreatly handicapped on account of several of their best players being out of the pane. It looked at the start as if it would be an easy pa me for the Tlcers, as O'Connell crossed the coal

the first five minutes of play. P. McShane failed at the trial at Koal, making; the score C to 0 in favor of East Chicago. The s ore remained this way until the end of the name. Sist. Keetran, Heil, Groal and the. McShane brothers starred for Kast Chicago, while Kennedy, O.ilton and White played Rood football for Chicago.

n5- Spike. "Battling Matthew Oscar Nelson," jnce the world's most famous lightweight, will face Artie Stewart of Hammond in a fast ten-round tilt at the Moose hall on State street in Hammond tomorrow night, which will either terminate In a former world's champion coming back Into the pugilistic, world, or a rugged little lad slipping into fame with a brilliant career before him. In Nelson we have one of, the world's greatest ring masters, cleverness and durability, winning for him honor that has never been equaled by any champion in his class. He still claims championship honors in the lightweight world and that it gives him the right to do battle with Ad" Wolgaat, who now holds claim to that title. It will be a proud moment when Stewart faces Hat in their ten-round enoomiter. In comparison with Battling Nelson Young Stewart is like a colt which is betnR harnessed to race against a thor

oughbred in his first real race. He has ability, the, punch and hardiness and if he takes the bit in his mouth and plugs away, as his many friends are expecting him to do, Bat himself will see that there are other champions in Hammond. Nelson realizes that ho has no youngster to toy with and has been doing some hard and real training work in preparation for the fray. Hat goes as far as to say that he may have his hands full and will he careful not to r

get in the way of Stewart's haymaker, which the Hammond boy has developed during his short fistic career, whereby Vie has sent a number of good men to d reaniland. Country-wide is the interest that is now being taken in the Nelson-Stewart go and all that is now worrying the Mooso. under whose auspices the bouts are being staged, is that the hall will not be large enough to caro for

the largo attendance. Nelson and ! Stewart will both weigh in at 6 o'clock and present indications are that they will make the required weight of 133 pounds. Bttsldas the main go Matchmaker Campbell has arranged for twenty-two rounds of fast boxing with men that have been seen in action in this vicinity before and need no recommendations. Taking bout for beiut it is one of the most classy cards that has been staged In the Calumet region and Is drawing the attention of fight fans from near and far. Between the bouts the evening will be featured with

music rendered by Hammond talent. Two fast eight-round semi-windups are scheduled between Tommy Tague of Hammond and Ray Dalton of Chicago, these lads having fought a draw at Gary about a month ago. Peter Holland of South Chicago and Battling Connors of Chicago will, furnish the other eight-round semt-windup. As a six-round preliminary Johnny Sweeney of Chicago Heights and Johnny Ritchie of South Chicago has been secured.

WHITE SOX SEEK BENDER ID OLD RING

Mack Declines to Give Indian and the Rube for Anybody But Walsh.

Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 13. James John Callahan, manager of the White Sox, yesterday went after "Rube" Oldring and Chief Bender of the Athletics. At midnight it seemed that James John ju:d went after them there didn't seem to be a good chance of his landing the pair. The trouble was this; Every time that James John approached the elongated boss of the former world's champions he was asked what he would give. When James John replied there was a large laugh. Conr.ie Mack usually followed this with

the embarrasslr.g question as to whether the bos sof the Sox would give Edward Walsh in return for the pair. When Cal thundered "No" Connie Mack would retort that Walsh was the only man he would take in exchange for the pair. Whereupon negotiations ceased for the time being. Borne fellow sent word forth that Oldringr and Bender were on the market. Callahan is one of the members in. the American league quite willing to take a chance on managing an Indian and a gent who answers to the name of "Rube," Cal took the stories which emanated from Philadelphia as being on the square; he was quite willing to trade for the Indian pitcher and the outfielder. Connie Mack was here. What tetter opportunity would either have of putting through the deal? You may answer none, but that wasn't the view that Connie Mick took. He and Callahan talked it over by the hour. They were in close conference soon after the arrival of the Chicago manager. They were still in conference when the s o'clock whistle blew. They were still in conference over the; dinner ta-

First detailed accounts of the Lan-ford-McVey bout at Perth, West Australia, on Oct. 9, were received in Chi

cago yesterday. This bout was decided in favor cf Langford after McVey had refused to continue in the eleventh round, claiming a foul. The report shows that Langford was willing to continue the fight, but lii.i opponent insisted that he had been roughed in the clinches and the referee ought to stop the mill. This Referee Haverson refused to elo and immediately gave the verdict to Langford. Following is the story of the fight: "In Perth, Western Australia, before a crowded house, Sam Langford and Sam McVey met for the fourth time on

Oct. 9. The bout lasted eleven rounds. In the eleventh round McVey claimed a foul, and when it was disallowed refused to continue. The fight was awarded to Langford. "Did McVey quit? This is the question asked by the 5.000 spectators who

saw the fight. It was one of the prettiest bouts ever seen, anel McVey showed much better form than when he met the Boston "tar baby' 'at Sydney. However, he die! not seem to be in good e'onditlon, and wen the fight ended in the eleventh round he was tired. Langford was a revelation, and so well did he impress the people that the premier of the state, Mr. J. Seadrlan. went to his room afterwards and congratulated him on his performance. "Langford attacked McVey fiercely from the start and set a fast pace. McYey's defense was superb, but the Western Australia rules are not so insistent upon a clean break as are those of Sydney, and this was all in favor of Langford.

"Tire end came in the eleventh round. It was a fierce setto and Langford's arms were working like a thrashing machine until McVey was glad to clinch. The referee cried 'Break,' and

it seemed as if, when McVey was ing to loosen his hands, Langford peel a left to the stomach and a to the jaw. Big Sam plainly was tied. He put his hands elown cried 'Foul, foul.' "
