JIM JUDGE WINS
A HARD BATTLE
HE EARNED HIS DECISION
FROM CASE LAST NIGHT.
Glovo Contest Before the American
Sporting Club In Music Hall Was
a Bruising Argument It Was Any
Man's Fight Up to tho Last Hound
When Judge round Case's Jaw
and Had Him Going All Over tho
Ulng Large Audience Saw the
Contest.
Jlir. Judge, of this city, defeated
Dick Case, of Utah, In thplr 20-round
glove contest last night before tho
American Sporting club. The bout
IfiHted tho limit. Case lind the best
of the early fighting, but after the
sixth round It was anybody'a victory.
It wns in the wind-up that Judge did
his sreatest execution. He followed
ttp the advantage gained by a hurd
straight left on Case's fnce nnd had
him cleat ly In distress when the gonsj
sounded. It wns a hurricane tlnlsh to
the fastest bout over seen In Muslo
hall and, barring an accident, It ap
peared as though Judge could Imve
made It a finish with a hnlf-mlnute's
moic time.
While tho seats were not all filled,
comparatively few of them were va
cant. Well known professional and
business men were In the audience,
which contained maybe 200 persons
from Wllkes-Barre, Plttston and other
nearby towns.
The principals weighed In at 3
o'clock at Purcell's baths. The scales
weie set at 145 pounds and remained
set after each man hnd stepped upon
them. Case weighed 142V4 pounds dur
ing the morning when Judge also was
about the same weight. It Is probable
each man weighed about 144 pound.!
on the scales nnd 146V4 or 147 pounds
when they entered the ring.
JUDGE'S WARM KEC15PTION.
Judge was the flrot to appear on the
stage. He received an enthusiastic
Erecting ns he stepped through th3
ropes. With him were Bobby Dobbs,
his ch'.cf adviser; John TIghe, Paddy
Hopkins nnd Tom O'Rourke, of New
York. His lime-keeper was Ed. Cole
man. Case got a wnrm reception, too, when
ho first came Into view. Ills sole at
tendents were his trainer, Hnrry Tut
tle and Harry Davis, of Cleveland.
His time was kept by his manager,
illy Roche, of the New York Sun.
Dorrinlck Gibbons was timekeeper for
tho club and Mike Keeley was referee.
Whrn the men were tailed to the
center, the striking difference In their
physical make-up was noticed. Al
though their weight, as noted, did not
vary moie than a pound Judge out
pointed Case In height and roach. He
appeared fully two Inches taller and
with his lean, loose and clean build
made a startling contrast to Case who
was as short and solid as a barrel of
meat Legs, body, arms and neck were
all on the round nnd heavy principle.
Contrary to what might have been
expected Case was the livelier on his
feet. Throughout the battle he was
always going In nnd out or circling
about his opponent evidently with tho
Intention of worrying him. He suc
ceeded in doing so anyhow. While he
pursued these shifting tactics his
hands were not Idle. The fight was
over and Judge had not learned how
or when to trlkc.
JUDGE'S LEFT WORKS LIKE A
PISTON.
Case made his mistake In trying to
force a bo:;or who is happy at that
kind nf game. The Serantonlnn was
always willing to go his man one
better. Judge kept his left going like
a piston, making a hinge of the back
of Case's neck and blocking most of
his leads. Judge nearly always placed
his return, but scarcely ever with his
right hand. It was a left-handed bat
tle by both men throughout, but when
Judge did cut loose with his right,
particularly In the sixteenth round,
when Case took advantage of nine
seconds on one knee nnd in the twen
tieth. Case had ample reason to real
ize what that right could accomplish.
Case tried to win from the call of
time. lie forced Judge to the ropes
twice in the first round and In one of
these mix-ups Judge hit his right elbow
against Post when drawing It back
to strike. 'It paralyzed that arm and
rendered it almost useless for anything
but body blows until well along In the
contest. For three rounds Cnse did
nearly all the lending. He showed to
splendid advantage and caused his
manager to remark: "I'll give Judge
six rounds."
In the fourth round Judge tired of
being on the defensive without a show
of return medicine. He followed Dobbs'
advice and jabbed his left Into Case's
face repeatedly. Toward the close
there were several hard exchanges In
which Judge fared the better. It was
his round. He continued to put his left
glove into Cnse's face during the fifth.
CASE WINS FIRST BLOOD.
In the sixth round, the hardest blow
up to that point was a left hook which
Case landed over Judge's right eye.
Tho eye began to swell and was put In
a sad state of repair by later similar
blows. In the eighth round Judge's
eye was badly swollen and Case scored
first blood.
Case's left hooks on the head had
given him a clear lead up to the ninth,
hut In that round Judge fought like a
tiger. He countered on Case's ear with
a vicious right and was quick to fol
low with a left on the wind and a right
uppercut under the heart, but he
winced under a stiff left which Cnse
landed on the stomach near the .close
of the round.
Judge twice failed to cross with his
right In the tenth. Doth men worked
with right and left on the body and
quit even. When the twelfth opened
Judge fought caseto his corner. When
they squared away again Case tried to
force the Itsue and received for his
pains three stralsht lefts In the face,
the kind which caused him so much
worry earlier in the game. He con
tinued to play for Judge's face and In
two mix-ups badly marked thnt pan
of the Scrantonlan's anatomy. He did
this work well and won tho thirteenth
round.
CASE FALLS..
Judge cut loose with his right In the
fourteenth and smushed one on Case's
neck. The latter slipped and fell. He
was avoiding Judge but not always
successfully. Case tried forcing In the
ilfteenth, but could not Bet his fuce
past Judge's ever-ready left. Case
persevered and tried for the body with
his right but missed.
Case was circling about In the six
teenth and In shifting to avoid a left
feint, exposed his Jaw, Judge's right
found the mark and Case dropped to
his knees. He recovered at once, but
rested tho wholo of nine seconds on
one knee. Cnse worked his left on
Judge's damaged optic In the seven
teenth after a moment's fiddling. Ho
ducked and avoided Juge's face blows
and landed one hard left hook on the
Scrantonlan's stomach.
CniES OF FOUL.
Ctles of "foul, foul," followed Case's
left swing In the eighteenth, which
landed under Judge's ear Immediate
ly folowlng a clinch. Those who clear
ly saw the breaking say the men were
free when the blow was delivered. It
staggered Judge and he clinched dur
ing Cases' several subsequent rushes.
It wns Capo's round. Tho nineteenth
was anybody's. Both men were re
markably strong considering the dis
tance nnd pace they had gone. Early
In the round they fared equally In the
exchanges.
Tho twentieth round had not been
long under wny when Case fell short
on a left for tho body. Ho recovered
poorly. Judge wns quick to grasp tho
advantage and crossed his right like
a shot from n cannon. It caught Case
Hush on tho Jaw and sent him toward
the ropes. Judge was after him llko
a cat with n left uppercut on the stom
nch. Judge's momentum brought the
men together nnd Case clinched. The
referee had dlfllcult work to break
Case's hold. Case nvoldcd a right
swing and clinched again.
THE FINISH.
Everybody in tho house wns on his
feet nnd shouting when Judge's left
shot out nnd sent 'Case's bend flying
back. Cnse swung short nnd wildly
and received a left In the stomach and
right on the ear. Case avoided a left
for the fnce nnd clinched. He was
plainly weakened. He clung, however,
until the referee broke them. Judge
wns using left and right as the gong
sounded but It could notbehenrd by the
boxers on account of the din of cheers
for the Serantonlnn. Referee Kelley
sent them to their corners In charge
of their seconds, who entered the ring
when the gong rang.
Judge wn-s the more marked of the
two. His lips, right eye and nose were
badly swollen.
After Introducing the principals and
their handlers It wns announced thnt
three weeks hence Tom Williams, of
England nnd Australia, would meet
the winner.
The preliminary was one of six
rounds between "Jack" Kelly ("Mox"
Jordnn), of the Pouth Side, and "Jack"
Livingstone (John Judge). The exhi
bition wns not nil thnt one could wish
In point of science, but Kelly excelled
In what there was nf thnt quality.
Livingston's harder hitting and more
frequent lending won him the decision.
COL. PHILLIPS THE MAN.
He Is the New Assistant Mine Sup
erintendent of tne D., L. &
W. Railroad Company.
It is now Assistant Mine Superinten
dent Reese A, Phillips of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
He was given the official title yester
day by appointment and today assumes
the duties connected therewith. Su
perintendent Phillips gets his appoint
ment by virtue of the vacancy caused
by the death of Thomas W. Phillips.
He will not, however, take charge of
the section of which Mr. Phillips had
charge. Assistant Superintendent
Thomas L. 'Williams, who succeeded
to the vncancy cnused by the death of
Thomas D. Davles, will be transferred
to this section and Mr. Phillips really
steps into the late Mr. Davles' place
The appointment adds further proof
to the apparent purpose of General Su
perintendent Benjamin Hughes to have
young men about him.
There were eight other men from the
Delaware, Lackawunna and Western
company who aspired to the vacancy
nnd with much to their favor. Also
one from an outside company. This is
complimentary to the successful man.
About eleven years ago Superinten
dent Hughes Instituted a move In his
work which caused some surprise and
much comment at the time. He select
ed six young men then employed on
the Inside engineer's corps. They were
Reese A. Phillips, William R. Evans,
Richard Evans, Howell Harris, John
Johns and Ellsworth Davles. They
were given positions as Inside foremen.
Tho first named Is now assistant
supcilntendent. Howell Harris holds
a high position of trust with the Con
nell Coal company. Ellsworth Davles
entered a business career. "William R.
Evans Is nt the Dodge and his broth
er, Richard Evans. Is at Ptorr's. John
Johns is at the Pvne. The above to
the initiated, speaks for Itself showing
as It does a well defined purpose for
future necessities.
"Colonel" Reese A. Phillips, ns tho
new assistant superintendent Is fa
miliarly known, is comparatively a
young man. He was born In Bellevue
Heights 35 years ago last December.
Ho is one uf thtee sons of the Into
Rev. T. J. Phillips, who Is well remem
bered by older Welsh residents heie
abnuts by the bardic title of "Cyw
Ionawr." When the "colonel" was
about I years old the family moved
to Plymouth.
Ho grew up much as other lads of
that period did and as has been the
cate since was always a favorite. Ho
began his enrly career as a bread
winner, learning the engineering busi
ness. He was for several years In th-j
Reading offices at Philadelphia under
the renowned Gownn, of the Reading.
Later ho came here and was employ
ed on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western mine engineer corps until his
elevation to an Inside foremnnshlp In
1$S.
He first served three years nt the
Dodge, the usual beginners place, then
wont to the Oxford where ho remained
until April 1 of this yenr when he was
transferred to tho Peltebone at Forty
Fort, His promotions were always
upwards. That Is ne always gets a
larger, better and more responsible
position by each change. Since his
taking charge of the Pettebone, he and
his family have re&ldei at Forty Fort.
It Is expected that they will return to
West Fcranton now.
For social life he cares little; in
religious attachments he Is Baptist,
and politically he has always been a
Republican. Ho Is a Mason and
Knlsht Templar and over and abovo
all a home loving man, well read and
studious.

YOUNG WOMAN'S
SUDDEN DEATH
NO ONE WAS PBESENT TO AS
SIST MISS MARIA MOYLES.
She Was Alone In Her Homo in Dun
inoro on Monday Night When She
Had a Hemorrhage nnd BTed from
the Effects of It Her Body Was
round Yesterday Morning at 11
O'clock Neighbors Thought
Something Was the Mattor When
She Was Not Seen About House.
Death came suddenly to Mtes Maria
Moylcs, of Dunmore, yesterday with no
one at her bedside to render assistance
In tho eventful moment. She wns
stricken with hemorrhages and was
alone In tho house. A largo quantity
of blood in a spittoon in tho sitting
room was the evidence of the hemor
rhage. Just what time she died Is not defi
nitely ascertainable. "She and her
brother, Edward J. Moyles, were the
only ones living In the house which Is
situated at 22S Walnut street. He Is a
brakemun on local freight No. 20 on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern running between this city and
Hampton Junction, N. J. Ho left the
house for work at C.15 Monday morn
ing and did not return until 1 o'clock
jesterday afternoon.
At 10 o'clock Monday night file was
sitting on the porch with some friends
in apparently good health and Jovial
spirits. Soon after that she retired.
When she was not around ns usual
yesterday some of the neighbors In
vestigated and found her at 11 a. m.
cold In death In her bed. What caused
them to wonder nt her absence was the
milk bottle on the front porch. It
stood where the mllkmnn placed It.
She wns not accustomed to going away
from home.
One of the back windows was raised
by a young lady of the next house, and
the lamp was still burning on the sit
ting room table. The spittoon In which
tho blood was contained stood along
side a couch In the slttlnc room.
Around her mouth was a mass of clot
ted blood.
Miss Moyles was 39 years old. Her
father and mother died 1G or 17 years
ago and ever Since she and her two
brothers lived in the old homestead.
James, the other brother, enlisted with
Lieutenant Ocntler and Is now In Porto
Rico
Tho funeral will bo held at !.?0
o'clock tomorrow morning with a re
quiem mass at St. Mary's church. In

BIDS rOIt BRIDGES.
They Are to Be Constructed at Ex

Bids have been received by the
county commissioners for the con
struction of five stone bridges, one In
each of West Ablngton, South Ablng

Nineteen contractors sent In bids,
somo of them on one bridge, others on
two or more, and only two on all
bridges. Tho rule adopted by the com
missioners Is to nwnrd the contract to
the lowest responsible bidder. But the
contrnct has not been let yet. The bid
of G, II. Perrlgo Is so low thnt the
commissioners have ousted It from tho
list. The amount of It, they think, is
hardly sufficient to pay the expense
of hauling the stone. The following
