CARL ANDERSON COULDN'T COME BACK LAST
Cl Anderson was not able to come back last night. He had the gameness, but he lacked the stamina. He went clgrht rounds with Tim O'Neil, the Irondale gladiator, at the Hammond theater, and when the gong sounded for the ninth round he remained in his corner, conceding the victory to his opponent. It was a Rood mill while it lasted, honors being fairly even with the exception of the third and fourth, in which Tim had a shade the better, and In the eighth, in which the South Chicago Idol cinched his victory. There was plenty of fighting from the first sound of the gong. In fact so actively did the two mix in the early rounds that the fans feared that both would wear themselves out before the sixth. Honors were evenly div?led for ag
gressiveness. There were few decisive blows, however. Some fine haymakers
cut the air with a swish. Kddle Clabby Gets Honor. They were scheduled to go ten rounds at 160 pounds. CVNell plainly was in the better condition, while Anderson showed the marks of hard training after being out of the ring for four or five years. The seml-wlndup between Eddie Clabby of Hammond and Pete Reiland, scheduled to go eight rounds, was a peach while it lasted, but it lasted onlytwo rounds, after which Referee Eckersall stopped the contest to avoid a knockout or a. terrible beating which Clabby undoubtedly would have ad
ministered. Theirs was a spectacular fight while it lasted. Clabby fighting with bulldog tenacity and lightning quickness. Reiland showed some ring generalship and much grit, but . was
no equal for the coming star. Two Draws la Preltnyi. Nothing nicer was ever seen in Ham mond than the first preliminary be
tween Young Bishop of Whiting and Toung Ritchie of South Chicago. They went six rounds at 120 pounds. They fought to a draw, the South Chlcagoan coming strong In the last three rounds.
His opponent hit the cleaner blows, but
otnerwise nonors were even. It was a clean, keen, active scrap. The second preliminary between Eddie Wagner of Hammond and Billy

SMALLPOX SCARE FEATURE OF IDLE DAY CUB PARK Report That r Minneapolis Player Had Disease Causes Trouble.
A smallpox scare at Cub park which may handicap the Trojans by applying vaccination to the entire team, the
elimination of James Tilden Sheckard, one of the four-time pennant winners,
from the local team's roster, and the dreck of the National league inauguration In this city, furnished almost as much local fan fodder as if the Trojans
had met and licked the Cardinals ac cording to schedule.
The smallpox scare started with the
report from Minneapolis that Pitcher
Comstock and Second Baseman Killl
fer of the Millers were victims of the disease and had been sent to the Isolation hospital on the arrival of the team
in its home town. The Minneapolis team had players here on Tuesday morning mingling in a nine-inning scrap with the Cub regulars.. Here
were the seeds of a lot of trouble.

ways, for it is certainly a misfortune for a man to be able to blame a club for a poor shot. When our clubs are above reproach, the faults of our shots
rest on us alone, and that is as It
should be.
In spite of the fact that the average
player loves his clubs (and I assert
this In face of the sweeping charges
he makes against them on certain oc
casions), he is given to neglect them. He leaves them in his locker without special care or preparation for the winter, or he throws his bag carelessly Into a corner of his office, perhaps.

absolutely cannot afford to run the

Just now the spirit of play pervades the air and golfers are busily engaged in making preparations to get out on the course. Some of them have played
Indoor golf through the winter, but the great majority have not touched a club since they laid aside their bags
last autumn. It Is to be hoped that
the clubs were put carefully away
that the shafts of the irons and the whole of the wooden clubs were oiled, dhd the shafts, perhaps, restalned.
Then if the winter's resting place were
well chosen, dry and not too warm, the golfer has cause to rejoice In April.
