Has It All Over Chicago Boy in Ten Round Bout. Jimmy Clabby of Hammond, con- tender for the middleweight _title, climbed a step higher in the ladder to the championship by outpointing Knockout Brown of Chicago In ten rounds at Milwaukee last week. Ability to measure distance and land accurately won the popular decision for the Hammond boxer. Although some of his punches had little effect upon the Greek demon they counted materially in the final reckoning. With nothing but a knockout or knockdown to give him the verdict Brown entered the final round with that object in view. He peppered Clabby’s kidneys, put imthree or four effective blows to | the face and won the last session by a faif margin.

Umpire Tommy Connolly of the American league was a visitor at Red Sox headquarters during the past weel. coming from his home in Natick. In discussing mehns - by which the playing time of games could be short- ened, as was susgested at the annual meefing of the American league in Chicago, Mr. Connolly was of the opin- ion that the only saving of time could be made by speeding up the working of the batteries and by beginning play immediately upon the striking of the gong_announcing that the time for play had arrived. He said that some of the pitchers used up, in the agere- sate, probably 10 minutes in a game in pretending to moisten the ball, when it is all a bluff and no moisture is applied, the object being to mislead the batsman into believing that he was to be served with a “spitter” He said_they gemerally used more time in their efforts at deception than would be used if they actually applied the moisture, simply because they | overdid the thing, and thus aroused the | suspicion of the batter. Some catch- ers, too, he thought, lost time that might be saved by withholding the signals while looking over the situa- ton with men on bases. Some of them start in with these tactics at the v besinning of the game and keep it up all_through. The worst of it is, Con- nolly says, is that it usually accom- plishes nothing, for so much time is spent on it that the opposing players have an opportunity to “dope out” what is coming oft and prepare them- selves accordingly, sometimes turning what follows to their own advantage. Sometimes the substitute players who are on the field in practice with- araw reluctantly at the sound of the gong, and make way too slowly for the resulars who are to bezin the game. just one more; just one men who are batting up until they finally have to be driven off. A little time Was some- times lost by this. The batteries, however, Umpire Con- nolly said, are about the only thing that could be speeded up, and some time might thus be saved. The teams now o onto the fleld and come off on the run at the beginning and end of each inning, and no time is lost in this respect. Some one present sald that the pitcher does about 75 per cent, of the work in the game and that he is entitled to the breathing spell he gets during these apparently unnecessary delays of the battery and the question arose if he might not lose some of his effectiveness If he is hurried any more thaf at present. Some one else claim- ed that the fans wanted about two hours of baseball n nine innings, any- way; that an ordinary game plaved in much less time than that wou'd seem too short. Mr, Connolly said he did not know about that: he believed the abject was to cut out only the un- necessities that make the mame tire- some. The question was still in the e for more,” the files ask for, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL | MARKET DRAGGED. Amaigamated Only One of Favorites to Move as Much as a Point, ! New York, Feb. 8—The market | closed firm. Speculation was lifeless and the stock market dragged tedi- ously today. Amalgamated was the only special favorite that moved as much as a point.

To Continus in the Ring In Spite of 17 Years of Battling: Battling Nelson who was married a | few days age will continue fishting. Ang this after 17 years in the Just let that staterent about, 17 years seep iito your brain and then realize what a career this iren man has had. 9 { He began to battle early in 1896 and has been at it ever gince, with only an occasional lapse. - The coming year, therefore, marks his 17th milestone in fighting history. And Bat has made plenty of history, you can famble on that. ‘Why should this plece of whalebone ant to fight any more, you may won- der, when it s shown that his hands hebelleves he 1s just as good as he mashed and it is reported that he is well blessed with the world’s goods, sald blessing being in the shape of plenty of coin. i That's hard to answer. It is plain from what Nelson says about it that trouncing from his opponents was the day ho grabbed the champlon- | ship from Joe Gans back in 1906, and much better—again on the authority of Bat himself ,than he was the day back in 1910 in Point Richmond when Ad_Dolgast succeeded to the crown. Bats wealth Is another thing again as Montague Glass would remark. It may or may not have to do with Bat's present desire to go along and have his face beaton up by younger and at least, at the present style of boxing presumably better men—better men | r the sprint distances. or Bat's face during those 17 years he has been in and out of the top division has been hammered into an entirely different shape than it was originally. It takes pictures to show | this. Though he has been through much | up. fo the time that he triumphed the fading Gans for the lightweight | champlonship out on the Pacific coast | he didm’t look anything like he does today. Win or lose Bat always had | to take preity much of ar serious day across the bay from San Francisco Since Wolgast beat him in 40 ter- rific rounds in the rain and mud that day across the bay from an Francisco Bat seems to have got It worst than ever every time he started. And only the other night down in Neéw Orleans he took on a young fresh strong chap named Frankie Hussell The latter is another French market boy like Joa Mandot, " only a stiffer puncher and wilder mixer. Bat got a heavy beating and came out of the fray after 10 rounds of strenuous work most of which was done by Russell in bad shape. Here is what McDantel fight writer of the Item, said of Bat's appearance after the contest. “Both ears were puffed and swollen S0 badly that- they resembled small hams. His nose was spread east and west and his lips were swollen and bloated looking. His eves mo longer betokens the athletic, but tells us mere 1y of a strong willed man whose cour- age still carries him on against the youngsters of the day. Both hands are on the blink, the right being es- pecially tender: But withal Nelson is still as tough as ever, He is game, aggressive and would be possessed of the old wallop if he had knuckles that could stand the shock of meeting the other fel- low’s hard head. And this all after 17 years of ail sorts of milling. KEEFE HAS BETTER RECORD. Beats That of Marquard—Each Had 19 Victories. | After many yez\'s Timothy J, Keefe has come to his own ,and today he is honored as the hurler who created the record in consecutive wins, 19 straights | says McLean Kennery, in the Detroit | Free Press. True left-handed Mar- | quard tled the record last season, made his run of 19 victories in strict accordance with the present system of | alloting victories and defeats. This i3 a system that requires, at times, a | few Philadelphia lawyers, Ban John- | son or President Lynch in conjunction | with the brains or otherwise of all of- | fictal scorers within hailing distance to decide which pitcher of the two or more who had & hand in winning or losing a game belongs the credit for a win or a lose. To whom to credit the | victory or defeat is at times a sore puz- | zle ,and many conditions come up that | are ‘perplexing, and a decision does not always leave a satisfactory feeling or clear away doubt regarding~to whom | Iy belongs the victory, | Some hurlers receive the credit of winning for tossing through a few balls. After the other luckless wight fought for elght long Innings to a tie, he Is sent to the doghouse. All sweat | and dust and bedragged. A fresh hurler is called to finish and he shoots | throush a few and gets away with | a clean slate. His team breaks the tle in the ninth and wins out ,and the last chap, without turning a 'hair, is ziven credit for the victory, This system may be correct end just in some cases, and espsclally when & twirler takes up the task in the earlier innings, with his team in the rear, and by his really effective pitching lands his team a winner, but the ene-inning stunt is rather & thin victery, Not trying to detract any of the glory of | Marquard, or belittle his record, but | in merely trying to deeide the tie ur-i‘ ual comparisons, it leoks from all | angles as though Keefe's record is the | Dbest and has a shade en the “Rube in several respects. Short Inning Wins. Marquard in his run of 19 comsecu- | tive victories last season had two of these weak and wavering wins includ- | ed in his list. In trying to decide the tie between the “Rube’s? record and | Keefe’s these abbreviated affairs should count against Marquard, even £ they are legalized under the present | system. Keefe had two short games included in his ljst of 19 straight win: but they were ghmes wherein the out- come was practically settled before he quit the box. July 1§,at Chicago, aft- er he had the game safely stowed away | by the snug score of 9 to 0 he was placed by “Billy” George a left-hand- er of the “wildman” type, in order to | save him for the next day. New York won by the score of 12 to 4, and “Sir” | Timothy went in and won the follow- ing day. | His next short-circuit affair took place at Boston August 8. In the sixth inning Keefe received an infury that caused his retirement from the game. The score at that period was 9 to 1, the Giants winning 9 to 6, with Crane, another wild speed merchant, finish- ing. So there is no doubt as to Kagfe's record being correct. In every resBect the great “Tim” hurled mag- nificent ball Now for a comparison of their respective records. They par- ticipated In 19 victorles ,each _was credited with 19 consecutive wins, In his string Keefe pitched 163 innings. Marquard’s games totaled 152 innings, 80 Keefe had it on the “Rube” by 11 innings. Fewer Hits Off Keefe. 4 Just 127 hits were charged up against Marquard, Here Timothy J, had him faded by helding his opponents to 108 singles, 81 less than the elongated | southpaw, They wers tied in the run column, with 40 apiecs, Keefe was the steadier granting 34 passes te Mar-~ quard’s 41, and when it came te whifiing balsmen the fameus Keefe had it all pver Richard de Marquis by | causing 149 to swing and miss his speedy ehoots and benders, mixed and fntermixed with a slow ball that was a Foader and_a Sempise R i 3 period, Dniy b7 men ul vistims ia Marquard’s famo smoke ball, ga Keefo had ole: Stelassed ' the strike-out line, The genesal eenditiens surrounding |of them hitting .250 or better. | or better.
