The knockout blow was a short Jeft to stomach delivered during a period of hard infighting. Many of the T,- 600 spectators believed for a time that Morris had slipped and fallen as the blow was visible only to thos: near the ringside. The bout started with a brisk ex- change of short jabs. After breakinz from the first ciinch Démpszy rushed Morris near the ropes and during the infighting delivered the. final blow. Morris did_not regain con=gousmss for four minutes.

FRAZEE SAYS JOHNSON'S STATEMENTS ARE ABSURD New York, Dec. 1§.—Harry Frazee; cwner of the Boston Americans, de- clared tonight that statements which he had seen attributed to Ban B. Johnson, president” of the American League, that he would drive hfm out of baseball “are too rldxculous to dig- nify with an answer.” “So far as being forced to sell the Boston club, that also is teo absurd to deny,” he added. He said Mr, Johnson had approach- ed him through an ‘associate with reference to the sale of the Boston club and that he had named a price for Mr. Johnson. He said he still was willing to sell-the club at that price, ‘but that the offer would have to be accepted “within thirty days” as he had another offer. Declaring Mr, of the manageme ISAAC 'S.

He so stated today on his return from France, where he has served as a captain in the army. He thad no .intention at present, he said, of signing up again, although he admitted that beseball still had for him “a terrible fascina- tion.” “I'm going down to my home in and rest up for sev- said Cobb. “I intend to break away from baseball. ‘T'm tired of it. I've had fifteen years of it and I want to quit while I'm still good. There is the danger that the fascina- tion of the game has its hold on me, but.I shall make every effert to tear away from it,'and not sign with' any club again. “When I.say this, I naturally pre- sume that the release that the man- agers gave us lgst fall, with its tem days’ notice, is binding, have no legal strings on me now. hope so, at least. ~T've made no plans whatever ahead y rest. I haven't a profession becg1 use I left school at seventsen to play ball.” Cobb declared that the war had re- juvenated baseball, and that going to boom this season as 1ts Newer | done before.” He explained that when the ar- mistice was signed, he had just fin- ished his training and expected to 1 soon see ‘“some renl action.” Declar- ing that the Amertcan army has “the finest personnel on_earth, with every- one on his toes and wide awake every minute,” Cobb said that “a lot of that can be credited to baseball and its] close association to the American ]S boy.” He added that ”Wl}en my youngsters. grow up, alw three”$f them are going to get army training” LEVY TENDLER GAYE HAMMER' BAD BE Philadelphia, Dep. 16— &V ler of Philadelphia} grave §: mer, the Chicago tghtwéigl beating i $ Gix gound- foul here to- night. in, (e third eoubd’ thjz Phila- delphia. boxen wined Dlowd om Ham- mer’s stomach and, the latta® went to! the floor.

Light 'harness racing has a punch that no other form of outdour \iter- tainment can deliver. For a time the purses were small but they were in- creased as soon as the fair managers recognized this fact. Also when the crusade against betting was started and Governor Hughes repealed the law under which the New York tracks were operating, the light harness horses, instead of being stranded ‘like the gallopers until oral betting was de- vised, continued on their way, ruc.us for more money and before more peo- ple, the number of spectators runninz from 125,000 at the Minnesota state 000 at almost any county fair on Thursday.” Many of the driving clubs, which de- pended on privilege money, passed out of existence at this period, but others took their places, a few like the mem- bers of the Orange county circuit giv- Ing race programs which commanded popular support. while others added racing to a fair as was done in 1908 at Hartford. where on Labor day, if the sun is shining, there are more specta- tors than were ever seen at two race meetings over Charter Oak park un- der former conditions. Racing at fairs is the sheet anchor of the trotting horse breeder. The returns from the show ring and the race track fixes the vWue of. his product. Over 70 per cent. of {ie meetings each year are ziven by fair asseociations and the vast amounts which they have invested in grounds and equipment are .a their permanent existence, aside from the support which they are receiving from the states in which they are lo- cated, while the federal government is also making a move in that direction. Also by comparing then‘ programs with those who operate without a fair it will be found that aside from the futurities, with two or three excep- tions, they give as much and frequent-~ ly more money for races. It is also a matter of record that in 1918 two of the three $10,000 events offered for aged horses were given by fair asso- ciations. - The associations that meetings on half mile tracks are largely in the majority, the returns for 1917 showing that of the 1,011 race meetings reported 966 were contested on the two-lap courses while there were but 45 race meetings over mile tracks and 35 time record meetings, making a total of 1,046 for the year. The race premiums for 1917 amounted to $2,911,586.34. Of that amount, $2,- 268,017.79 were distributed on half- tracks and $643,568.55 on the mile tracks.

In the past week bank clearings in the cities of Hartford and New Haven show gains over the like week of 1917 of 13.5 per cent. in the former and 2.8 per cent. in the latter city, while in Springfiel there is a decrease of 9.8 per cent. The four bLankrunts week have aggregated liabilities of $247,629, with nominal assets. This record compares verv unfavorably with the figures = whi hLave been published for recent wee as well as the figures for the jike week of previous years. New incorporations have tha past the city are now reported last in the state of these meetings also show that $1 000 purses were given frequently by half mile track associations, while a few gave $2,000, and that at such meetings it required a horse of Grand Circuit calibre to get in the money, Fair managers have also begun to realize that it is not necessary to limit their dates to a few weelis in the fall after the hay and grain has been gath- cred, as a number of assoclations in Ohio have been giving for several years successful fairs in August. The Canadian associations in Alberta, Sas- katchewan and Manitoba have also been holding theik fairs in July and August. In other words, a fair With a light harness' racing feature can be held at any time in the summer or autumn months by confining the ex- hibits to what can be shown success- fully on the dates selected. Stock and industrial exhibits can be made, with ample notice, at any time. This is also true of the racing and amusement fea- tures. As for grain, if an early date is selected, tWe products of the prered- ing year are exhibited just as they are now even at late fairs.” At a summer fair, fruit and vgetables are the only absentees, while in their place the management is assured warm weather and sunshine, the two great under- writers of outdoor entertainments.

Tnactivity prevails in the build- ing trades, the approach of winter weather and general conditions not making for business in this line. Reports from some of the archi- tects, howecer, suggest that some projects which have laln dormant for a iong time are to be revived and there are a number of inuuirles as to new plans.
