The usual amount of persiflage ; was exchanged between the fighters and if it had not been for the alertness of Brown's friends the pair would have settled their differences in the scale room. A delegation of fifty fans came from Hammond to see the mill, while fully 300 enthusiasts from Chicago were at the ringside. The total attendance-was about 3,000.

bout fought for 50 per' cent of the gross, which they divided equally. In the first preliminary "Ritchie" Mitchell won the popular verdict over Young Krause. It was a six-round bout, the boxers making 116 pounds at 3 o'clock. Both boys were from Milwaukee. "Dauber" Jaeger of Fond du Lac deifeated Eddie Clabby of Hanmond in a slashing go in the second preliminary. Jeager forced the milling and landed the cleaner punches. They fought at 140 pounds. In the eight round semi-wlndup the referee stopped the fight in the eighth round and gave the decision to Marty McCu of Racine. McCue's 'opponent, Freddie Andrews of Milwaukee, had been knocked down for the count of nine and as McCue was battering Andrews around the ring the referee stopped the mill. Andrews went to the canvass In the fourth round as a result of a right cross to the Jaw, but was the aggressor during most of the fight.

FIGHTER TOO FASTWEARS LEAD SOLES INFOOTGEAR Los Angeles, Feb. 4. Queer stunts are being featured in the training camps of "Kid" Williams of Baltimore and Eddie Campi of San Francisco, the two bantams who will meet In a scheduled twenty-round bout at Vernon on

Feb. 12, the winner to meet Johnny , Coulon f or the title in the near future. J When Tom McGrath, who looks after I Campi's interests, heard that Manager I Sam Harris was making Williams wear ) a hood to protect his ears and head

from various blows of training partners, Tim sat down and studied out something new to startle the fans. Today he had a pair of leaden soles made and fitted cn Campi's shoes, which the ex-Frisco boy will wear during training. "They will weight Eddie down and make It more difficult for him to dance around the ring during training bouts," said McGrath. "When he gets into the ring without lead soles he will be so fast on his feet that Williams will get drunk dodging him.

Chicago Greek Decisively Outpointed in 10 Round Bout in Millwaukee. Big Crowd Saw Fight.

CHANCE SETS SAIL THURSDAY

Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 4. Clever and , scientific boxing gave Jimmy Clabby j of Hammond a clear cut victory over George ("Knockout") Brown of Chicago In a ten-round bout last night before the Milwaukee A. C. As predicted, the Greek never bad a chance against the clever Hoosler. Brown's only hope for a victory was to land a decisive right or left swing. This he failed to do, but Brown must be given credit for putting up a game and stubborn fight against one of the cleverest boxers in the middleweight

division. uiaDDy s ring: generaisnip and clever footwork enabled him to I

keep out of range of Brown's wild and, vicious swings, which the Greek unloosed In every round. The only damage done in the entire fight was when Brown planted a right cross on Clabby's left eye which caused it to swell shut In the following session. Although Brown was the receiver general for most of Clabby's wellalmed and timely punches, the Greek bore no marks of battle as he left the ring. It was an unintrestlng fight to watch. There was too much bulling and wrestling, with Infighting, which the average spectator does not care to see. Brown was accused of holding repeatedly and the hisses which this sort of work drew from the spectators was due to the fact that the spectators did not understand his style of fighting. It Is true the Greek covered up continually and would not box at long range. In all his battles. Brown bores in from bell to bell and depends on body punches to so weaken an opponent that he can land one of his wild haymakers. ' Clabby, on the other hand, gave a great exhibition of the manly art. He showed more speed and cleverness than in his battle with Brown a year ago, and his punches were better timed and

CLABBY ALL THE WAY Returning fans declare that Clabby all but slaughtered Brown and that he made the Chicago Greek look like a fifth rater. This must be true for a Hammond fighter his to all but kill his man before the Chicago sporting writers will concede him even a shade and this they were forced to do in their stories today. g

He was in great shape and was as strong at the finish as In the middle of the bout. Brown wits first to enter the ring, crawling through the ropes at 9:65 o'clock. His manager, Nate Lewis, acted as his chief second and adviser. The Greek's other attendants were Joe Thomas, Pete Caras and Rudy Unholz. Clabby followed shortly after and was helped into the ring by his opponent. Clabby's manager, Frank Mulkern, the fighter's brother, Eddie Clabby, and Ted Jessup acted as his seconds. After

posing for pictures the fighters adjust

ed their bandages and gloves and were

called to the center of the ring for instructions from Referee Harry Stout.

The first two rounds were tame and

uninteresting. Each boxer worked carefully and did not take any chances. The Hammond boy opened up In. the

third period and won the round by forcing the fighting and landing cleaner punches.

missing a vicious right swing, fell

In the remaining rounds Brown, realizing the only chance for a.victory was by a knockout, trid to land his wild swings, but Clabby easily stepped aside of them or stepped back out of range. Clabby was given a great reception as he left the' ring. Brown and Clabby made weight
