decision over the Boulder champion. Howard Baker, and was hailed the cleverest boxer that ever struck the Colorado capital. He made a big hit

before the . cattlemen's smoker - and there were many who want to see him back again with some man of the type of Eddie McGoorty or Mike Gibbons. This Is what Abe Pollock, Americans foremost referee, had to say about the ten-round tilt: . "From the opening round of the battle. Baker refused to open up and try as Clabby could with all of the tricks that he knew about the Marquis of Queensberry game, he could not make Baker come out of his shell. Time and again Clabby feinted Baker Into knots and several times in the early rounds the Coloradoan was up In the, air, and did not show the slightest knowledge of the boxing game. . . "Clabby. on the other hand, showed to the Denver fight fans that he is one of the cleverest men that we have seen In this part of the country In many a day. He has a left hand that is as quick as a piston rod and about as powerful, and any time that he could land clean with It he showed that he was a boy who, carried a lot of steam back of his blows.: "On account of Baker's style of box ing it was very hard for Clabby to show what he could do. Baker covered up round after round and absolutely refused to lead. When he did lead, Clabby landed his left and right to the face or head and ear In quick succes-. sion. "In the second round Clabby missed a hard swing to the jaw. Baker iandi ed a hard left on the ear. Back came dabby with three lightning lefts to 'he face and followed it with a hard riprht to the jaw and Baker went to the floor. "Referee Gallagher started the count but at the count of eight the bell rang with Baker In bad shape but resting on cne knee and ready to continue. "In the sixth, round, Clabby landed Lvvo lefts to the face and Baker continually covered up, the Hammond lad doing all of the leading and trying to force Baker to open up. Clabby landed a hard blow on the ear and followed with two straight lefts to the body and a right to the head. Again Baker went down for three seconds. "He got up and continually covered up until the bell rang. These were the only knockdowns of the fight, but they were alone sufficient , to uphold the referee's verdict. - . "While the bout was one-sided. It was made interesting by the clever work of the visitor. Clabby showed that he posseses a wonderful left hand, also that he has a lot of force when he connects with his right. On several different occasions he shook Baker up

with blows that did not seem to travel more than si xinches. When Baker refused to uncover, Clabby would work In close and bring up In a lightninglike way, uppercuts to the face and body. 'At no time during the contest was Clabby In danger and it looked as if he was going through merely a workout. "Baker's seconds did all that they could to get him to uncover, but at no time did he heed their advice. Had he done so, there Is no question but what he would have made a much better showing, but he probably would have been put to dreamland for his pains." Clabby was greeted by a large num Thorps Admits Best Athlete of All U. S. Olympic New York, Jan. 28. Jim Thorpe, the greatest all-around athlete that this or any other country has ever known, Jim Thorpe, the wonderful Indian football, baseball, basket ball and la crosse player, broad and high jumper, hurdler and sprinter, laureled by a king and acclaimed by millions, has finally admitted his sins against the laws of amateurism. One small indiscretion of his athletic youth has come forward at this late day, after he had won all the glories that could be gained In his chosen field, and he finds himself branded a aa "pro

Clabby Is matched to meet Knockout Brown at Milwaukee on Feb, 3 and Is anxiously waiting to see If the brewerytown officials will raise the lid.

KAUPMANN & WOLF M'CARTY PAYS OLD DEBTS Fargo, N. t., Jan. 28. "I haven't time to eat, boys," said Luther McCarty, white heavyweight champion of the world, on his arrival here last night. "I want to see my mother." McCarty then started for the door of the hotel, where a taxi was waiting to carry him to Moorehead. At the door he was Intercepted by a deputy sheriff with a garnishment for $29 for a grocery bill contracted by Mrs. McCarty, his wife, after "Luck" left her rn this city. Mrs. McCarty Is now In Ohio. McCarty paid up many old debts, giving men who loaned him quarters when he was "broke" as high as $20 each. perous days. Is defunct, but It lived long enough to furnish a means for the destruction of the career as an amateur of the greatest athlete of all times. All the material honors that Thorpe gained In the Olympic games of 1912 the trophies and what nots have been stripped from the India nholder, and they will be returned to the donors. None of his marvelous records will stand. They will be wiped out completely, -aa if they never existed, although it Is rather doubtful if this summary method will remove them from the memory of the people who follow athletic events. The destruction of these records will work a revolution in the athletic world. Martin Sheridan will regain his old allaround American record; Sweden will move up In athletic standing; other countries will likewise profit, all because one pure-blooded American played a little baseball for hire a few yearf ago."1""'' '"-:.:-' ' 'r'" ' Thorpe says he did not play for the actual money he gained. "Mr property brings me in enough money to live on I liked to play baseball," he says In his letter admitting the charges against him. "I hope," he says, in another place in the letter, I will be partly excused by the fact that I was simply an Indian schoolboy and did not know all about such things." This Is the note of pathos In the proceeding. L Aurora, 111., Jan. 28. A new baseball league, to include Aurora, Elgin, Rockford, Jollet, Gary, Chicago Heights, East Chicago and Michigan City is in the making. Jack Keary. a Chicago semi-pro magnate. Is promot ing the organisation. Keary has been busy with his plans ever since It became public Aurora had been dropped by the Wisconsin-Illinois league. Keary attended a special meeting of the board of directors or the Aurora club yesterday and told of his plans. East Chicago and Gary were in the northern Indiana semi-pro league last summer. In both cities $10,000 parks were built last spring. Keary has met committees from other cities and has completed arrangements to take them Into the league. The Aurora directors told Keary to go ahead with his plans. They see a big saving in railroad fares in the proposed league. Trolley lines connect each city suggested. MAROONS START BASEBALL WORK Another championship race started yesterday at the University of Chicago when a dozen candidates for the 1913 baseball team reported to Coach Page tor tho first practice of the year. The diamond squad will number about 25 before the end of the week. Halstead Carpenter, captain of last year's football team, and the only third year man on the squad, was the best of the pitchers to report. The other veterans were: Mann, catcher; Scofield, shortstop; Llbonatl, right fielder; Catron, center fielder, and Hunter, right fielder. The newcomers included Karney, Harget, Greenspawn, Sevier and Francisco. Page will start weeding out the first of next week.

TO DEVOTE KIL Although the Hammond high school was not represented by a basket bait squad this year, on account of not being able to secure an available hall, they hope to counteract the loss with a crack track team. Plans are being laid ahead for spring training and according to the dope sheet Hammond will take a prominent position in the state, northern Indiana and Lake county field meets. As soon as the weather permits Coach Owens and Captain Hlrsch will start a squad of athletes in active training. Never before has the local school had such a bunch of splendid material to choose from, two of that number being confident of claiming several events with ease. "While Hammond lost three star men in Crumpacker, Taylor and Jones last year, other schools in the county will suiter an equal loss, giving Hammond a chance to develop second and third year athletes who loomed up promlnently In last year's field meet at ' Crown Point. Bowers Is doing some stunts with the discus that will easily place him at the head of that event. , With but little praclce he has been 1 hrowing the plate 125 feet. Hlrsch,! who Is in his second athletic year, will undoubtedly cop the sprints. Other students are trying for various events and prospects look bright considering that the track work Is months away.
