Fond du Lac, Wis.. Jan. 8. Ray Parker of Chicago was knocked out In the second round of a scheduled ten-round boAit by Jimmy Clabby of Hammond. Jimmy' just about made a chopping block out of Parker. There was nothing to It but Jimmy. Parker ' looked ' like a dub. 'A right shook to jaw dazed Parker and a left swing put him down on all 'fours. 'At the count of five he sprawled unconscious. Parker'was a badly punished man. He had. na chance against Clabby's cleverness, the Hammond middleweight hitting him at will in the first round. In the second round Clabby tore loose
and In less than a minute finished his man. The flght was witnessed by 2,000 bugs. The eight-round bout between Dauber Jaeger of Fond du Lac and Freddie Andrews of Milwaukee was the prettiest milling event seen in this city In
years. A year ago Andrews made a choplpng block of Jaeger. Jaeger went to Chicago .trained in Nate Lewis gymnasium and in the fight last night got a wide margin over Andrews. Andrews gave away eight pounds in weight and fought a game battle. He displayed greater cleverness In infighting, but lacked the steam that Jaeger's blows possessed.

f.VCARTY TO START
EAST OHHURSDAY Champion Win Open Series
of One Night Stands in Denver Monday.
Los Angeles, Jan. 8. Heavyweight Champion Luther McCarty and Manag
er Billy McCarney will start east eith
er Thursday night or Friday morning. McCarty plays at the - Auditorium in
Denver on Monday night, jumps ' to Kansas City, and then hits Springfield, Mo., where Luther's appearance will cause the temporary suspension of all
business.
"The New York theater people are trying to crawfish on their terms." said McCarne ytoday, "but unless they come through with the big money we will
sweep up the change by playing the
one-night stand dates.
"A San Francisco gent named Jimmy
Stack has wired me that he had men
behind him who would put up a $40,000 purse for a July 4 fight between Luther
and the Bombardier," - continued Mc
Carney. "I wired back that if they would put up a forfeit we would go
up and look over the land. McCarey
has the first call' on our services, but
we are willing to listen to all propo
sltlons."
The. first word from Wells was re
eel red today In a cablegram from Fred-
Idle. Welsh, and the tone or the wave
i whisper would indicate that the Brit
i ish heavyweight champion is none too
anxious to get Into the ring with Mc

umphed over oriental wizardry when
George 'Slosson, the veteran New York
er, defeated Kojl Yamada, the phenom
enal young Japanese billlardist, 400 to
307, In the first black of their 2.000point match at 18-2 at Mussey's rooms
Monday night. Slosson went out in twenty-seven Innings, averaging 14
22-27. with high run of 76. Yamada
notched 11 10-27, with high run of 37.
It Is a rare thing for a champion to
declare that conditions were almost too
perfect, but the dean of American balk
line players said that the perfect lighting, the fine ivories, and the fine uali-
ty of the cloth and cushions were so
different to some conditions they had
faced that both players were a trifle nervous of overplaying their shots.
Both contestants In trying to "feath
er their strokes missed a number or
comparatively easy shots, and there were only a few occasions on which
either of them played a confident game.
Yamada in the fifth inning gave a beautiful display of close work, his
ability to nip the second ball on his position play being remarkable. The foreigner made most of his points at the
bottom end of the table, where he did some clever line work. His Judgment of pace was excellent, and most of his
drives nearly perfect. He missed on a
three-cushion shot, getting a kiss which robbed him of his count. Slosson for some time could not get anything big, and was unable to hold the spheres when he had them in position.
Kid Gleason and Jack Doyle make a good pair to put "pepper" Into the Chicago White Sox.

"Scrappy Bill" Joyce, the former big Leaguer, maintains that Amos Rusle's
curve ball was faster than Walter John- Champion
son's straight one. "Scrappy, like most of the old-timers;, will "not admit that the youngster of today plays real baseball.

American league ball club next season. After a "conference of more than three hours with Frank Farrell, owner of the New York club. the former leader of the Cubs admitted he had experienced a change of heart. No contract was signed, but the two
are to have another talk today, j
Chance a attitude upon nis arrival was , a startling surprise to every one. He had come all the, way from the coast to meet Farrell, the latetr having come from' NewYork- It was generally expected he would sign' the contract Inside of an.hdiii'. " . . -. Farrell was the first to reach town and expressed confidence In signing the former Cub boss as his next manager. Consequently when he learned of the attitude of Chance he was shocked. Just what persuasive power he used In the three hours' conference to bring about the change of heart In the former Chicago nianasler is not known, but whatever It was It had a splendid effect for the big fellow smilingly ad
mitted afterward that things looked a whole lot different than they did In the morning. Consequently .lt Is generally believed Farrell will have the signature to a contract before another day has passed. "I had made up my mind to stay away from baseball entirely next year," . said Chance. "I just wanted to spend a whole year once out on my ranch.;
something I have never been able to do since I bought it. 1 figured the rest of. a year would do me good and then If Mr. Farrell still wanted me in New York I might agree to come. I would like to manage a team In New York and, that's the only place now I would consent to go. "1 thought it over carefully and because Mr. Farrell and the American league magnates had gone so far in an effort to get me I decided it would not do simply-to write him a letter declining an offer. Consequently, to be square with him, I decided to meet him In Chicago and talk to him so he would
quite a change in my attitude. I didn't expect to hear such strong talk and It
heart. However, I am not able yet to say what the outcome of It all will be." Mr. Farrell was then asked what had taken place at the conference. "Oh. we just had a nice little talk to get acquainted with each other," was his reply. If Mr. Farrell can accomplish so much "by a little talk to get acquainted, one wonders how he possibly can fail In his pbject when he gets to talking real business.
AL PALZER IN CHICAGO; CALLS REFEREE WRONG "Luther McCarty has no punch," said Al Falser yesterday In Chicago, arriving from the coast-on the same train that' brought Frank Chance. "I know I was dased, my lip cut and an eye mu -tilated wlien Eyton st6pped the fight, but I would have recovered In a few seconds.' ' McCartyv could not knock me out." ' ' " ' Fairer left last night for New York to spend a couple. iof, weeks. He will be joined there later Jay Tom O'Rourke. his manager, and' a plan of action will be
outlined-' Palzer, .says he Is likely to return to his home, at Ossian, Iowa, for a rest before rushing to Europe for another match with Wells, as O'Rourke desires. . He asserts, however, that the trip abroad, Is sure to take place and that in February he expects to meet the Bombardier and win a match with Jack Johnson In Paris, if the negro Is freed.
He may take. a match In New York, if
suitable terms are offered, before sailing. '
