ROBBED AT-

DOORS OF THE PLACE FOUNDWIDE OPEN

Cryotal 550 Short and Police Have-a Choice of Theory as to HOw

Money Was Obtained

Just how It happened Is not defi-nitely known but that there Is some-thing

¬

like 50 short at tho Crystalsaloon today Is beyond the peradventure of a doubt

At a few minutes after 1 oclock lastnight the patrolman noticed that therear door of the saloon was openThe policeman passed through theplace locking both the back and frontdoors behind him thinking perhapsthat the rear door had been inadvert ¬

anti left open and that there wasnothing wrong about the premises

It was Inter discovered howeverthat the money left for the nightusually concealed in a safe place hudbeen taken There are no evidences-that either of the doors or the win-dows

¬

had been opened by means ofa skeleton key or broken Into byforce According to tho conclusions ofthe officers one of two theories is cor-rect

¬

The man who stole the moneyconcealed himself In the saloon andwas shut In when the bartender closedfor the night or the bartender lefttho back door open and the fellowentered without hindrance-

The money is gone and so is thethief

NEW AND OLD

WAY OF FIllTINi

Freddie Welsh and Johnny Sum ¬

mers Represent the TwoStyles in Their Contest

When Freddlo Welsh and JohnnySummers wont twenty rounds beforethe National Sporting club of LondonNovember S the best two lightweightsin England met The old redoubtableJim Corbett goes one bettor he de-

clared it would bo the greatest light-weight

¬

light in history and that noone Is likely to see its equal in thisgeneration It was such in many re ¬

spects although no knockout wasscored Welsh winning on points Heoutclassed his rival from the outset-In cleverness footwork sidesteppingand infighting ringing the knell on theoldstyle standupandpunch game ofwhich Summers is a master posses ¬

sing besides a terrible wallop Hav-ing

shock made upon English sports byWelshs newfangled they may bedubbed Americanized maneuversand supplemented by an account ofthe now English champions plans Itfollows

Fred Welsh Is lightweight cham-pion

¬

of England No one disputes histitle now and there is no one insight to contest it He had alreadybeaten every other claimant but John-ny

¬

Summers and him he met andbeat last Monday night He beat himso thoroughly through every roundthat there was but one opinion onthe result Summers was so com-pletely

¬

outclassed that even his mostardent admirers lost all hope for himby the fourth round As for Sumnicrs I think ho was convinced bythe third round that he had no possible chance I never saw such abewildered dazed look on a mansfaco as on his as the conviction grad-ually

¬

formed in his brain that ho-

could never hit his elusive antagon-ist

¬

hut that his antagonists listsseemed frightfully multiplied eachgloved fist landing at will

Both mon were in the pink of con-

dition¬

and I am sure Summers nev-

er¬

fought better In his lIle All thatho knew he tried but when he boxedhe was so much outboxed that holooked like a school boy and wIlenho fought ho was either made to lookfoolish because he could not land ablow or he was so fiercely outfought-that his legs weakened under him andhe was glad to hold on

There IB no doubt he would navebeen knocked out br the fifteenthround if Welsh had been permitted tofight In tho American way but overhere they detest infighting and lookupon it as a horrid Innovation notto be tolerated They admire and de-

mand open fighting hitting and get-

ting away they are shocked at anyblow that is not straight irom theshoulder They saw Welsh get underor away or Inside of all his oppon-

gryChe contest has caused a vastamount of controversy No one doubtsrbi a moment that Summers was ab-

solutely outclassed and I have notheard even a suggestion of anothercontestbetwecn he two boxers WelshIs the champion without any ques-tion

¬

and yet the controversy ragesand they want to know you knowif that Is good fighting-

A few of the best judges sayfrankly that Welsh hnd dealt a deathblow to the oldfashioned cherishedstyle of standing straight up in a reg-ulation

¬

attitude dancing gracefully jnand out with straight leads rightswings and a few uppercuts thrownin whenever the boxer happens to remember that there are more than twoeffective blows to be used It looksas if they were beginning slowly andpainfully to wake up over here to thefact that they must give more lati-tude

¬

to the boxer if they expect himto be a fighter

This is the first time Welsh hasfought In London since he left Amer-ica

¬

last June His victories over thebest men here loft London uncon-vinced It was quite certain in theirminds that when he met Johnny Summers that splendid representative ofthe best English traditions his new ¬

fangled sublcties of punch and foot ¬

work would be shown up in all theiremptiness and futility

They are now almost as much dazcd as Summers was raid nothing else-Is talked In sporting circles butWelsh and his new methods

There is not left them even theconsolation of believing that some oneelse could have done better thanSummers for he is admittedly thebest man of his weight over hero AndIt must be said that he Is infinitelybettor than he showed himself in Am-

erica¬

He Is quick clever and strongHis punch Is terrific and his courageand gameness unimpeachable

It was a beautiful light for onewho understood the nice points of thegame for it was a splendid Illustra-tion

¬

of the difference between thenow and the old styles boxing Andalthough about twothlrds of Welshsmarvelous ring craft did not displayitself owing to the rulings of thereferee enough was in evidence tomake the fight a very pretty one

Lord Lonsdales gold belt which Hemust defend for three years before-he can call it absolutely his ownThis is the first belt ever given overhere for a lightweight championshipI think It Is the most beautiful boltr have ever seen and I have seenmost of the championship bells thathave been given It is of solid goldand Is worth about 1000

Of course there Is a great Welshboom on just now The music hallsare after him with offers of 2000 aweek hilt as yet he has not closedwith any of them though he probably-will in the course of a day or two Hewas given a great reception when hereturned to Wales after the fight and-a monster banquet under the aus-pices

of the leading members of thecommunity Is to bo held In his honor-

It doesnt look as if Baltllng Nel-

son¬

could afford to dodgoWclsh muchlonger Now that Welsh is the rec-

ognized¬

champion of England his chal-lenge

¬

to Nelson must either be takennotice of or the Battler must let histitle pass by default to the man whooffers to meet him on his own termsbut whom he has sidestepped for somany months that they run Into years-If the lightweight champion of theworld will come over here there Is abig purse waiting for hlin and Welshhas offered to back himself to the ex-

STRIKE

New York Dec Demands forIncreases in wages formulated for pre-sentation to tho railroads will call insome cases for a raise of 100 per centVice President James Murdock of theBrotherhood of Railroad Trainmen de-clared today

The demands would not be present ¬

cd however he stated until after Jan-uary

¬

and then If ratified by avote of the employes-

There is no thought of a strike-In connection with the demands to bopresented said Mr iMurdock Bythe agreements between the organi-zations and the railroads It Is re-

quired¬

that 30 laYs notice bo giventhe railway managers for the consid-eration

¬

of tho wage scale so thatsome time must elapse before anyquestion might be raised as to whethcr the roads will meet the mens de-

siresI An important statement bearing on

j

j

the attitude of the railroads In thematter of Increasing wages was madeby W C Brown president of the NewYork Central railroad-

If it Is true he said that therehas been an Increase In the coat ofliving since the Increases in railroadwages In tho latter part of 100G andearly in 1907 then the mon are justified In asking for some further In ¬

crease at this time If no such in ¬

crease In the cost of living has tak ¬

en place then lie men cannot ex-pect

¬

more pay The fads remain tobe determined

But It cannot be stated too prompt-ly

¬

or emphatically that any increasewhatsoever in wages no matter howlargo or small Is impossible withouta commensurate increase In railroadrates There is not a railroad in thocountry that can afford to pay its employes more now without getting bet ¬

ter rates
