Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond bontface. globe trotter and claimant of the' welterweight honors, arrived In Denver last, week with his trainer, Ted Jessup, where he Is scheduled to face Howard Baker before the Denver Athletic club Friday night. According to the Denver papers the promoters think in James they have a man who will make the Boulder boy open up and fight at top speed in order to stave off defeat. Clabby has established training quarters at the Denver Athletic club gym. but will need to do but little work as he was in the pink of condition before he left Milwaukee. Both men will weigh in at 154 pounds at 6 o'clock, which means that they will have to go through but little reducing process. Clabby is already at weight and the mark will be an easy one for Baker to reach, so speed, cleverness and endurance will be the three qualities the boxers will try to perfect In their daily routine. Although this is Clabby's maiden appearance in Denver and has not been
GRAND SNOWBALLING AND CONFETTI CARNIVAL BALL AT Da PEON'S TONIGHT
there a week, he has acquired a wide -following of admirers who will wager a few on the Lake county boy. Hammond fight fans are eagerly awaiting for the result of the coming contest and hope to see the Boulder boy on all fours before the fifth round. The Denver Press has the following to say. about Clabby: j "Clabby, although but 22 years of age, has engaged In more than 100 bouts. He has met and defeuted some of the best men in the business. He held Jimmy Gardner to a draw when the Lowell man was at his best and holds a verdict over Mike Gibbons. In many of his bouts Clabby has conceded weight to his opponents, and when he faced Tom Monahan. he gave away close to forty pounds. He made two
trips to Australia, where he has a long list of victories to his credit. "Clabby Is a two-handed fighter with a good wallop In either hand, displaying gameness and aggressiveness In generous quantities of the style which is being admired by the fans. He is developing a punch that Is to be feared by anx man of his weight, and the contest Friday night will be nothing short of a whirlwind."
Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 23. Jess Willard.; challenger of Luther McCarty, last night knocked out Carl Bauer in
the fifth round of a scheduled tenround battle. Wlllard hurt his hand when he scored a knockdown In the third. , In the first preliminary George Meyers of Chicago and Young Klenke of Fort Wayne fought an interesting tenround draw. At the end Klenke had a slight edge, as he forced the milling In almost every round. They fought at 138 pounds. Frankie Mason of Fort Wayne stopped Nick Little, also of Fort AVayne, In the seventh round of the scheduled ten-round wlndup. Referee Eddie Santry stopped the mill after Little had been knocked to the canvas three times. Mason had all the best of the fight. They fought at 110 pounds.

New York, Jan. 23. Eddie McGoorty of Oshkish, Wis., and elsewhere, fri up against a snag at the Fairmont A. C. last night in the person of another western middleweight, Freddie Hicks of Detroit. McGoorty's generalship and great defense alone earned him a draw against the Detroit man, who always was the aggressor and once or twice almost carried McGoorty off his feet with his rushes. It was generally thought and liberally bet that poor Hicks would not
That the Cubs are going to make another big trade, this time with the St. Louis Cardinals, is the rumor around baseball headquarters caused by the hasty departure of President
Murphy of the west side club yester
day.
It was said. the Cub boss has gone to Cincinnati to hold a conference with Miller Huggins, manager of the Cardinals. Huggins makes his home in Cincinnati, and the fact he had just announced he would trade big Ed Konetchy, the hard hitting first baseman, rather than give him a salary of S7,000 makes the rumor plausible. The things against It are that Mur
phy often has business that calls him
to Cincinnati.
However, It is known that Manager Evers is desirous of obtaining another
right handed batter for his west side club, and. as far as hitting goes, Ko-
nechty would fill the bill admirably. Vic Saier, the youngster who played first base last season and part of the previous season, Is a left handed hit
ter, and it Is said he, too. Is a hold
out, though it is not believed he is de
mandlng anything near $7,500 a year.

ASPIRINGr YOUNG PUGS THICK IN HAMMOND; TALK LANGUAGE-CO
RING WHILE AWAKE AND SLEEPING DREAM OF FISTIC TRIUMPHS
BY SPIKE. Hammond Is nothing if not a pugilistic incubator. Ever since Bat Nelson straddled the ropes into a rlcklty arena for his maiden encounter at the old Hubbard park on circus day and Billy Hurley used to do things in Columbia hall, the hopefuls of the community have been dreaming of pugilistic careers and not a few, notably James Clabby, have seen their visions come true. The fight game is a decidedly popular one In Hammond and the entire Calumet region. Boys in knickerbockers and gray headed ring Veterans are up on the sport. There is something about the environment of this community that makes the sport popular, and undoubtedly the largest factor Is the proximity to Chicago. But sight must not be lost of the na
tural born instincts in the red-blooded youth. There were times when all of us had more or less ambitions which came strongly to the surface and today If there Is any doubt as to the younger -generation let any one start anything with a hardy newsboy. Should a stranger become engaged In quibbling with & newsie he's liable to find himself up against an embryo white hope. The manly art of selfdefense has not been neglected. He will not only call your bluff, but is capable of dishing out one of Jimmy Clabby's famous loop-the-loops or a sleep producer. The youngsters in the game all have their managers and following, and It would bd hard to find one who isn't familiar with the phraseology of the ring. A conversation between two Hammond newsies . resembles the remarks of veteran rlngslders. "Wot! Knockout Brown? He won't
last two rounds with Jimmy. The kick he packs wouldn't mark a young cat. He ain't got no punch. He's gettln" too old." j . "Aw, shucks! Jimmyll put Knock 'em Dead Brown out all right. He'll have him making love to the mat before the entertainment begins," and so on. Private gyms and training stables are being established all over this region and the day is not far off when managers and promoters' of the country will direct their eyes to Lake county for more champions. . Among the youthful pugs who have sprung up In the last year and trn fast climbing to the top ranks are: Eddie Clabby, Art Stewart, Young Bishop, Tommy Tague, Willie Krug and a host of others. Karl Anderson will be well-remembered as giving great promise before he retired.
Two strangers to the automobile
contest game will begin hostilities in
the racing field next Memorial day a
Indianapolis. They will be the Keeton
and Nyberg. Bob Burman will driv
the Ketton and Harry Endicott the Ny
berg. Endicott's entry was filed yesterday; that of 'Burman will be regis
tered the first part of next week. Th
Nyberg company formally filed the
entry of Endicott's car, and the. pre
sumption is possible that the concern
intends to embark on a regular con
test campaign.
The flirtation of the Keeton company
with racing has been expected and the
announcement that Burman would be
given the mount alone caused surprise. Burman seems to have a mania for piloting strangers, as he assumed control of the cuttlnpr In the last long speedway race. It will be Interesting, however, to see the Keeton, modled as
it is almost entirely after foreign cars, race against the Importations said to have been secured for the next sweepstakes.
The Nyberg company already has be
gun work on Endlcotts car. The specifications indicate the machine will be equipped with a motor of 3S9 cubic inches piston displacement. This Is
sixty-one inches smaller than required
by the speedway rules for the 1913 event. Wire wheels will be a feature of the machine. Endicott now is at the factory superintending work on the machine. N
EVANS DECRIES 7 CARELESSNESS IN PUTTING. By "Cfclclt" Evans.
cultles honestly, we must confess that our failures are psychological as well as physical. The putting stroke seems comparatively easy, but careful judgment of line and distance demands nerveracking concentration. On the other hand, long shots require, accurate hit-
: ting. In them deviation from the line ! Is measured by feet and yards. In i putting deviation from the line is a
question of Inches or fractions thereof.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

A widely known English golf writer, Mr. R. E. Howard, has called attention to a putting competition that took place at the Royal Wimbledon club. F. S. Bond, with a gutta percha ball, achieved the best score that has been made at this annual competition
in ten years, or since the rubber-cored bait came into fashion. From this circumstance! one might draw the conclusion that putting was better in the
old gutta percha days; indeed It Is said
to be absolutely true that fewer short
putta went astray. The idea seems to
be that a lightweight ball, like other slight things. Is too easily diverted
from the path on which it is set to
travel. For downright waywardness, for heart-breaking uncertainty, commend me to the little white sphere on the putting green. A ball that flies from the tee like a bird through the air may turn aside at the smallest obstacle on a little threefoot Journey to the hole. It has also been suggested that a slight variation in thickness of the cover might be sufficient to turn a ball aside from the straight line, although having no noticeable effect on a long shot. These suggestions are worth- considering, and no doubt they do have an important bearing on the shot on the putting green, but the rubber-cored ball Is here to stay, and we must contrive, in some fashion, to putt with It in spite of Its -agaries. The whole discussion as to the relative worth of balls is interesting, and only harmful if we allow a consideration of the defects of the ball to blind us to Jhe defects of our own playing. For, if we poor players face our dlffl-
LOCKE AND DOOIN ANGERED AT REPORT Philadelphia, Pa., Jan! 23. President
Locke and Manager Dooin are vexed over the announcement that Chicago wants Eppa Rixey, the 19-year-old phenom, who made a good record last season. "Brass band tactics to secure ; players Is no way to get them," said Mr. Locke. "It has the effect of spoilj Ing a player's usefulness and if it is , not stopped I shall see that those re- , sponsible for dickering of this' nature j are cautioned at the next meeting of j the league." j Manager Dooln added: "There Is as . much chance of our trading Rlxey or , letting him go elsewhere as there is
for McGraw to trade Tesreau." Locke says he will lodge a vigorous protest and will take means to see that such methods are stopped by the league directors.
