MATINEK DECORATION DAY (FRIDAY) 2:30 p.m. COME EARLY BOTH FIGHTERS IN GREAT SHAPE MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., May 28—There are at least ten arguments advanced by backers of Tom Gibbons and by the backers of Georges Carpentier, which, if believed, will force the conclusion that both must win Saturday. With but two more days of active training, each boxer worked out well and at the conclusion the Gibbons people refused every argument the other side advanced and the Frenchman's backers laughed merrily, telling just how the ace would trim the American. Gibbons looks and is in perfect condition. The Frenchman NEW YORK FIGHT CLUBS HOMELESS NEW YORK, May 28.—This man's town was somewhat overheated today about what some persons are pleased to regard as dirty work at the cross roads in the boxing activities at the Queensboro Stadium and the Nostrand A. C., two outdoor arenas which had planned to run counter to other programs. It was insulted in some quarters that the question savored of unnatural restraint of trade, all the everything was quite official and above board. The New York fire department was responsible for the Queensboro edict. It declared the Wills-Madden enterprise out of order, alleging that the Queensboro plant was "a fire trunk" and in course HI-YERS SWAMP M. E. TEAM 22- Walker and Ashleigh backed the good fielding by the senior Hi-team held the Methodist team one hit and one run in the game played last night on the Y. M. A. field before the largest crowd this season. The Y" boys while securing only 12 hits were running wild on the bases and taking advantage of the 12 errors committed by the players from the White Team pushed across 22 runs before the last man was put out in the ninth. Walker started in the box and the Methodists went hitless five innings but secured a run the fifth because of an error in the field. In the sixth innings Price got the only hit for his team by placing the ball just over second base. Ashleigh pitched the last three innings and outside one walk the opposing batter went down in one, two, three order. Giss made a record of scoring six runs without being credited with a time at bat, getting back each time either by a walk or a error. Ashleigh led the batters of the evening, securing four hits out five trips to the plate. The regular game scheduled for Thursday evening is to be played this evening between the Schneider and the American Legion team and should be one of the best games of the series as both teams are well balanced and have good pitching and good hitters. Senior Hi-Y— AB R. Goss, lt. Sutherland, ef. Ashleigh, lb. p. Schacht, ls. Lehr, sb. Mann, 2b. of Georges Carpentier, which, if believed, will force the conclusion that both must win Saturday. With but two more days of active training, each boxer worked out well and at the conclusion the Gibbons people refused every argument the other side advanced and the Frenchman's backers laughed merrily, telling just how the ace would trim the American. Gibbons looks and is in perfect condition. The Frenchman is just as good as far, as appearances go, never having displayed as much pep and life. Experts who saw him work at Manhasset, when he was preparing for Jack Dempsey, are united in declaring him in far better condition and more impressive to watch. The fighters are equal in size and weight and 50-50 in everything that goes to make a great fighting machine. There are arguments on hitting force, gameness, cleverness, stamina, intelligence, and all the rest of it, but they are arguments nothing more. Not a great deal more will be done by either boxer as far as the conditioning process is concerned. Both are at the danger point right now with a chance of overdoing it. The St. Paul man did a huge amount of work yesterday and finished in great shape. It is known that he is planning to make it a close range fight for the first three or four rounds, ducking inside the Frenchman's right, and then see if he cannot peek the Parisian to pieces with long range work. There is little doubt that the Frenchman's best chance is at long range with his mighty right. Carpentier was irritable when he found the guard at the gate of his camp had been careless and had admitted other than newspaper correspondents, and with the skipping rope in his hand, after entering the ring, threatened not to go ahead with the workout. Gus Wilson persuaded him to continue. Georges was mad all the way thru however and took his temper out on his sparring maten-His workout was the best anyone has seen him put on. BROWN ELIMINATED ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 28—Francis Brown, the lone American competing, was eliminated from the British amateur golf championship today by Birmie, the Scot; two and one, in the second round. Douglas Grant, a former Californian, but playing under the colors of a British club work at the cross roads in the boxing activities at the Queensboro Stadium and the Nostrand A. C., two outdoor arenas which had planned to run counter to other programs. It was insinuated in some quarters that the question savored of unnatural restraint of trade, although everything was quite official and above board. The New York fire department was responsible for the Queensboro edict. It declared the Wills-Madden enterprise out of order, alleging that the Queensboro plant was a "fire trap," and in consequence that hunt is still looking for a Home. Altho any fire department might be said to have more or less intimate knowledge of how an arena should be built, many have taken issue with the official decision in the matter declaring the Queensboro stadium to be as safe as the Rock of Gibraltar. So much for that. The Nostrand people ran one show last week and were poised for another rally last night with a schedule I romped between Pancho Villa and Frankie Ash for the flyweight title. But this time kind neighbors intervened. They signed a petition alleging the Nostrand club to be a "public nuisance," and less than eight hours before the scheduled start of proceedings an injunction was obtained, restraining the Nostrand officials from indulging in the culture of cauliflower cars in that vicinity until further notice. To those who like their fists hard and their jaws convenient, not to say willing, this action was most unseemly because of its surreptitious nature, if for nothing else. The final bout of the first Nostrand show was concluded at 11 o'clock on Friday night last. At 10 o'clock the following morning the "public nuisance" petition was filed, signed by 34 good men and true. Nothing was heard of it, however, until 24 hours before the Villa-Ash bout and then nothing was done until the very day of the fight, after thousands of tickets had been sold. It may be remembered that the Queensboro edict did not arrive until the club's license had expired, following postponement of the Wills-Maddon business because of rain. If the affair had gone thru on schedule, everything would have been all to the plush waistcoat. The club has a perfect good permit and license for the original date but it had none the next day and has been out on a skinny limb since, in spite of fever promises to comply with every regulation the fire department demanded. Pet birds contract rheumatism and have indigestion and fevers, according to a doctor that successfully trampled them. Thursday evening is to be played this evening between the Schneider and the American Legion team and should be one of the best chances of the series as both teams are well balanced and have good pitching and good hitters.

SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE STARTS By Ivan Swanger Spring football practice has started this week with about 75 boys being out in suits. They will be given a three weeks' course in the fundamentals of the grid game, which will aid the candidates when they return next fall. Prospects look exceptionally bright for a winning team next fall and the coaches, Fitzmorris and Sutherland, wish to be ready for the regular grind when school opens next fall. Passing, kicking, catching the ball, tackling, and falling on the ball, charging, blocking and running interference will be included in the daily menu for the gridiron aspirants. Bringing the team to tie for the county title last fall, without any veterans to start with, has inspired Coach Fitzmorris to hope for a county championship next season. With such veterans as Wells, Sweeney, Harris, Lusk, Sloop, Jabs, Beebe and Seitz and a whole flock of lightweight and new men, he has good reason to hope for the championship. This is something we have never yet had and to capture it will be worth every effort that can be put forth. Nothing much can be said of the lightweight team. Most of this championship team have either graduated high school or to the varsity, and what they can do remains to be seen. Coach Sutherland, who turned out a championship team last year, can, no doubt, be depended upon to do his part if he has the material on hand. HARTRANFT WILL GRAB 10 POINTS NEW YORK, May 28.—Track and field sharps this side of the Alleghenys are pleased today to look upon another California entry in the A.A.A.A. track and field. MILLER WINNER OF HOT CONTEST / By Sargum Sprout Orlando Miller came thru with flying colors in his match with John Hackensmit. It was one of the most hotly contested matches ever staged in Anaheim. As was predicted there was no fooling around to try the other out, Miller went in to win in the shortest possible time and he used every trick that came in handy. His wonderful speed gave him the advantage most of the time. Every time Hack did get on top he was able to hang on some punishing holds. He was able to clamp on only two of his famous arm keys, the last of which almost had the Brea lad down. Hack held this hold for several minutes and it was a great exhibition of strength and gameness when Miller broke it. Hack had a vicious hammer lock once that appeared to have the little giant in serious trouble, but the hold was broken by a scientific roll on the part of Miller. Miller was using all the holds that he has ever demonstrated. Some would hold for a time, but the most of them the mighty Hack brushed away without much effort. Along about the 50-minute period Miller dug out of his collection a new trick, the Japanese arm scissors. This is an old hold, but we never saw Miller use it before. It is a crushing hold on the ankle and is so applied that the force of the body can be used. Hack broke the first after much punishment only to slip into another. After a great deal more punishment he rolled Miller over and secured the same hold. Miller lost no time in bending every effort to break the hold, which he did.

BANK CLEARING San Francisco Seattle Portland Oakland Long Beach HARTRANFT WILL GRAB 10 POINTS NEW YORK, May 28.—Track and field sharps this side of the Alleghenys are pleased today to look upon another California entry in the A.A.A.A. track and field championships at the Harvard stadium this week end. For three destitute years and long, the east has seen one of its favorite possessions carried away over mountain and mesa on a transcontinental trip to a coast trophy room. For three successive years, the California Bear has been the winner against the best the east could summon. According to the best advises, the proceeding is due to be repeated this year, not by the California Bear, but by another coast institution, namely Stanford, which is said to have everything on its team but a circus fat woman. First off, the Palo Alto entry figures to get away running with 10 points in the shot put and discus throws, that is, unless Glen Hartraft bobs with household’s knee or the heeble-jebbles. He has tossed the shot within half an inch of the world’s record, and the discus a matter of 154 feet. You can beat these performances with the horsewhip and figuratively speaking, the east is there with a feather duster. Princeton is believed to be its best bet, largely because of its strength in the field events. The Tigers finished second to Yale in a dual meet but should score heavily in the weight events with Hills, Beattle, Emery and several others. BUSH BREAKS UP 15-INNING GAME Baseball fans at Britow, Okla., are wondering what Doty Bush, former Anaheimer, will do when he really gets his batting eye for the reason. The best he can do now is .364, topping his teammates. He has been at bat 9 times, made 21 safe bingles am scored 10 times. He is already be fair-haired boy of those parts especially since he scored the tying run in the ninth and the winning run of a 15-inning battle against Ardmore the other day. In that game he made four hits out of seven times up and score three of his own. The period Miller dug out of his collection a new trick, the Japanese arm scissors. This is an old hold, but we never saw Miller use it before. It is a crushing hold on the ankle and is so applied that the force of the body can be used. Hack broke the first after much punishment only to slip into another. After a great deal more punishment he rolled Miller over and secured the same hold. Miller lost no time in bending every effort to break the hold, which he did. After their experience with the Japanese hold Miller and Hack went back to Nelson's hammer-locks, etc., till about sixty minutes had elapsed when Miller secured another of the vicious holds. Hack stood the pain for a little over three minutes, but finally had to give up, the fall coming in 1:9:30, with a Japanese leg scissors. Hack was so badly hurt that he hadu to be assisted from the mat. The tendons in his ankle were so badly sprained that he could not bear his weight on the foot. Hack worked with the injured member throughout the ten-minute rest period, but could not get it to respond to treatment. He hobbled back to the ringside and told the fans if they desired he would go on with the match but that it was of no use as he had only one foot to stand on. The people cheered his gameness and sent him back to his dressing room. Miller won the second fall by default. The match was a thriller all the way, and was marked by clean sportsmanship. Roughness, and the little dirty tricks that mar so many wrestling shows were absent. It was an exhibition of science, skill and endurance, and Manager Horwitz is to be congratulated on starting his career in Anaheim as a promoter with such a clean show. Ralph Goodale took two out of three falls from Brute Barnes in an exhibition that thrilled the fans. The Brute dished out a line of hot air after the match that sounded very much fishy. He may be a wrestler, but he is a very much better hot air merchant. The attendance was good for the first show in so long a time. Manager Horwitz was pleased to break even for the first show. He is casting about for another real opponent for the Little Giant, and has his eye on Pete Sour who looms up as about the best man on the coast for his size.

McCLOSKEY Clothier PRICES DRIFT ON STOCK EXCHANGE NEW YORK, May 28.—Prices merely drifted on the stock exchange today. Initiative appeared to be almost wholly lacking. The approaching holiday was no doubt a restraining factor as was the uncertainty regarding the president's action on the revenue bill. There was some investment buying in the better class of sticks. The purely speculative shares were under pressure by the professional indentation which found their offerings quickly absorbed. Steel shares turned easier in the afternoon in spite of the better one of the mid-week reviews. The whole market in fact, showed increased heaviness after the noon hour but transactions continued extremely light. Congedeum, Pullman, International Pape and Mallinson stood out among the specialities with strength. Trading in the rail list was exceedingly dull with prices showing only minor changes. Money conditions were easy, call money 1½% after 3¼%. Bonds were generally irregular. Fresh weakness in St. Paul obligations was an outstanding feature. Brains were heavy.
