New York. Aug. 30.—The ten- round bout between Johnny Dundee, the local Italian lightweight, and Joe Welling of Chicago, who aspires to Freddie Walsh’s title, which will be decided tonight at Madison Square garden, promises to be one of the best lightweight contests staged this vear. The Chicagoan, according to reports, is a lightweight of the heavy- hitting type, and is probably the tall- est boxer in this division. In his training exercises he has shown fine form. Dundee has gone about hi ration for the bout with determination and, according to his manager, Scotty Monteith, is also in first-class condition. He has directed his attention, it is said, to the de- velopment of a kncckout punch, and in a recent contest out of town, tried it out with success. The men have agreed to box at the lightweight lim- it, and both are reported as down to prepa- his usual YOUR TO ATTEND ORLD OF FREE ATTRACTIONS MARVELOUS MERRY MIDWAY CATTLE OXEN AND STEER SHOW AUTOMOBILE SHOW - POULTRYA~® PET STOCK-AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT ==DAZZVLING FIREWORKS SPECTACLE= SENSATIONAL FREE EXHIBITIONS DAILY By THE COLUMBIA PARK BOYS’ CLUB OF FRISCO. 42 Well Trained Boy Acrobats, Military Lads, Musicians, Etc.

WISHES HE SANK THE LUSITANIA Dismissed Diplomat Home to Take Stump for Candidate Hughes 30.—Complaining bitterly against his treatment at the of the British authorities at Kirkwall, Thomas St. John Gaffney, formerly United States Consul eral at Dresden and Munich, returned yesterday aboard the Frederick VIIT, of the Scandinavian-American Line.

In to be dealt Passengers Unsympathetic. Passengers aboard the Frederick VIII had little sympathy with Gaffney and his difficulties, declaring him to be decidedly unpopular owing to his violent condemnation of all things British. When the liner was two days out of Kirkwall a wireless report was re- ceived telling of a Zeppelin raid on England.

Among others who say they heard the remark was Willlam F. Pike, United States Consul General, return- | ing from his post at Coburg, Germany, {and Gustave Bissing, a New York lawyer, affiliated with the Hupp Mo- tor company. Gaffney said last night that he did | not recall making the remark about the Lusitania. He was asked if it was true that he asserted that he would enjoy seeing the German flag flying over the White House. “No, I didn’t say that,” re- plied Gaffney. “What I did say was { that I would like to help haul down | the Bnglish flag from the White House. The atmosphere of the White | House is viciously pro-British. Mr. Wilson reads ‘The London Times’ and ‘The Morning Post, and would prefer to believe what those news- papers say rater than the truth.”” Gaffney blames the English papers for his removal from office, and especially the bitter editorials in “The | Morning Post,” which severely criti- cized his pro-German attitude at a time when Great Britain was relying on.United States diplomats for proper supervision of German prison and civilian internmtnt camps. Gaftney is an Irishman by birth, and for many vears has been closely connected with the Irish Nationalist movement and was one of Charles Parnell's co-workers. He also was an intimate friend of Roger Casement, and was one of the last to see Case- ment before the latter’s England. It was not only his marked anti- British attitude, but also, his leanings toward the Irish, that caused the British authorities to be so thorough in their investigation of his business. Gaftney told reporters that he pro- posed to establish himself at the Waldorf-Astoria, and would soon take the stump for Hughes, as ever since he became an American citizen he has bten an ardent republican, BARRY BREAKS BONE | Star Inficlder of Red Sox Will Be Out i [ | | return to of Game Six Weeks—May Spoil Team'’s Chances for Championship. Boston, Aug. 30.—Jack Barry, star and balance wheel of the had a bone infielder Red Sox inner defense, in his right hand smashed yesterday by being hit with a pitched ball from | the service of Dave Davenport. He will be out of the game three or four weeks at the shortest and the champs may not be able to play him again | this year. The accident, which many here be- lieve will be the the Carrigans out of the world’s series, came in the first inning of the first game between the Sox and St. Louis. The ball hit him squarely on the back of the right hand. He went to first and was thrown out at second ng to steal. After being replaced by Mike Mc- ally, Barry was rushed to a hospital in an automobile. There an X.ray photo was taken and showed that the bone leading to the index finger had been smashed. One of the doctors bresent told Barry he might be able to get back into the game in three weeks and another sald six weeks. Tomorrow evening the Sewing socie- v of the Swedish Lutheran church will have an entertainment which will take the form of a birthday party.
