CLABBY GETS
GREAT RECEPTION
Hammond Pugilist Returns From Mon-
tanna and is Handed Some Tall Time
Fully one thousand enthusiastic light fans and admirers crowned Jimmy Clabby, the welterweight champion of the world, when he stepped oft the 9:45 Monon train at Hammond last night. Red lights Illuminated the platform, the fans cried themselves hoarse and the brass band could hardly be heard above thte roar. So astounded was Hammond's hero, "Jeems" dabby, that he did not know whether he had been nominated mayor on the democratic ticket or whether a lynching was to occur. Getw a nu scary Ride. In a carriage occupied by Chief of Police Peter Austgen, Captain George Hanlon and Attorney Sproat, Jimmy in his modest, blushing and gentlemanly way was taken down Hohman street amid another din of noise and
red lights. Fully another thousand people lined the sidewalks to catch a glimpse of Hammond's new champion, and undoubtedly was the largest crowd that ever greeted a home-comer in many a day. Baaqort Room In Packed. The Hotel Mee, where an elaborate luncheon had been prepared, was packed to its capacity and had the large dining room been four times Its capacity it .would not have been spaclous enough to hold the fans who flocked into the hotel. Among those seated at the speaker's table were James Clabby, welterweight champion of the world: his father, James Clabby,
Sr.; Eddie Clabby, coming lightweight champion; Toastmaster Dr. J. A. Graham, V. J. McAleer. Mayor J. D. Smalley, ex-Mayor P. Reilley, Dr. W. F. Howat, John A. Gavit, C. B. Tinkham, F. F. Hitchcock, Sheriff Henry Whitaker, Otto Duelke, John Pascally, Frank Roth, Vernon McGirr and other leading citizens. Fraiw for Champion. Each and every one who was asked to respond to the toastmaster's call could say too little of Jimmy's fine traits as a gentleman, business man and one of the greatest ring generals in the game today. Following the speech-making Clabby was presented with a bes.utiful Elks' charm as an appreciation of the friendship of the Hammond fans. It was probably the produest moment in Jimmy's life, and little wonder he blushed like a school

when called upon to talk. Jimmy took the count for speechless
ness and was aided by his staunch ad
mirer, Frank Roth, who said: "Jimmy,
what about that first round?" meaning
the fight In which McGoorty floored him twice, once for the count of seven and the second for the count of nine. "Veil, I can truthfully say," said Jimmy, "that I nas never hit so hard in my life. I do not know which hand McGoorty used and never will know, but during that first seven seconds when I lay on the mat I thought of a thousand things and also of my Hammond friends who were backing me to their meal tickets. McGoorty outweighed me exactly fourteen pounds and I am proud that I was able to come back and give McGoorty a lacing. "I stuck It through, came back fresh and outfought and outgamed him to the finish. I am marked, I know, but most of the damage was done early in
the fight. Then you should see the other fellow, as they say. I only weighed 151 when I entered the ring, and built myself up to that. I can make 145 any time It Is necessary.
Still, I beat McGoorty for twelve
rounds, and am willing to tackle any of the middles at 158 pounds."
McGoorty and his manager. Rudolph Unholz, have not been heard from since the Clabby fight. "We are wondering
what they will have to say.

trouncing given Alexander the Great on Monday, the Cubs came right back
and drove another of Dooin's beauties to the coop yesterday. Brennan was the victim this time. The story of Brennans downfall in figures la 4 to 9 in favor of Chicago. The third Inning wasn't even ended before Brennan had to be rescued. In a little more than two rounds he had yielded three runs as a result of six
base hits and three bases on balls. He
was succeeded by the veteran Earle Moore, who has some speed and a1
corking curve ball. Earle went
through to the finish without giving
the Cubs a base hit. His wildness.
coupled with two blunders, gave the
Cubs one more tally, however, in the
sixth. -
Opposed to these slab stars was the

broken any records or gained any
great fame in his life, and he is past
80 years. Just the same he seems about to launch forth on a career in spite of his age..

California Golf Champion Victim of Chicago Player, 2 and 1. By Charles ("Cklck") Evans. Tacoma, Wash., June 18. The third
of our series of games In the Pacific
northwest was played yesterday over
the links of the - Tacoma Golf and Country club. This course is so pic
turesquely situated that the mid-west
ern team members were Inspired to their very best efforts and really quite
distinguished themselves. Their spir
"From the financial end three things
must be considered publicity, weather
and suitable grounds. By publicity, I do not mean press work, but an intelli
gent treatment of the game and its
alms by the newspapers In the cities to be visited. The itinerary can be ar
ranged to get the best weather possible, and the matter of grounds no doubt will be attended to by the advance man."
Its were so uplifted by the altitudious peaks that they played a little better than they knew how and kept their
game at the highest possible leveL The
opposing team seemed to have a chance after the morning round, but from the beginning of the afternoon
one, our team took the lead and held It to the end. I, myself, was 3 down at the twenty-eighth hole, but luckily beat the tall California champion, which was the cause of some extraordinary putting at the end of the morning round. We had won three matches, they had won three and the other two were halved. Mr. Davis of the northwest played brilliantly, but to no avail, for Warren Wood took one look at the Iceclad mountains and another at the ball and played a perfect 71. He followed this up In the afternoon with another 71. Some of the finest golf of the day was played by Harry Legg, who made a 71 In the morning and a 69 in the afternoon. This is phenomenal golf.

James A. Hart, former president of
the Chicago Cubs, who sold the club in 1905 to its present owners, returned to
Chicago on Monday from a trip around
the world. He traversed that part of
the route which the White Sox and Giants will follow this- winter, . and predicted a warm welcome for' the
globe trotters, especially In the Philip pines, Australia, Japan and France.
Mr. Hart was enthusiastic over the plans, perfected during his absence, to
introduce the American national sport.
us played by some of its most skillful exponents, to nations which already have shown an interest In the game. He was especially pleased with the statement that the tour -is not a commercial proposition. The former Cub president helped map out the. route for the first world baseball trip In 1888, and conducted the tourists to the Pacific coast and met them In New York on their return, business duties preventing him from swinging around the globe with Anson's team and the All Americans. "With a good sportsman like Comlskey as sponsor for the trip," said Mr. Hart, "I think the Sox-Giants tour will be a great success. The people in the countries to be visited might not be enthusiastic if they thought it was a money-making proposition, but with expense ,a secondary consideration It will appeal especially to the Australians, who have a high regard for American sportsmanship. . "The deportment and conduct of the players on and off the field will be most important, as the people In the countries to be visited hardly would understand the quarreling with the umpires and some of the tricks which are regarded as legitimate here.
SOX GET LONE RON ON BODIE'S HOMER: MACKSJICTOR. 7-1 Callahan's Men Make Stubborn Fight, But Athletics Are Too Strong.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 18. One home run blow by P. Bodie, at right angles to another four-base whack by F. Baker, kept the White Sox in the
game with the Athletics for five innings yesterday. Then Manager Mack tore on the southeast corner of his score card, which Is the well-known signal for "get busy." whereupon his men proceeded to walk away with the opening match of the set, 7 to 1. In spite of the wide openness of the result the Athletics did not proceed merrily on their way to the pennant without considerable opposition. In fact, so good was the defense the White Sox made with the help of Jim Scott that they were actually within striking distance of victory as late as the eighth inning. Opportunity to strike for home and triumph prompted Manager Callahan to rush out the reserves in the eighth, but all they got was a pair of passes.
