It Caused Superintendent Howell to
Make Some Inquliies.
Diphtheria became so prevalent in
a few days among the pupils of No. 2S
school. Green Ridge, that Superinten
dent Howell visited it yesterday. His
investigation yielded not enough of
data to occasion anv alarm or to ne
cessitate the suspension of studies
and the erection of a quarantine, but
he directed that strict measures bo
taken to keep out of school all pupils
In whose homes th '''-ease exists.
There are eight families, w hose chil
dren go to No. 28, affected with diph
theria. As soon as the board ot health
is notified of the presence of the di
sease, notice is forthwith served by
Secretary Murray upon Superintendent
Howell and he bends notice to the prin
cipal of the school, and the pupil or
pupils nie barred from attendanie.
In the district of No. 27 school one
family Is affected, and theie nre a few
scattering cases on the South Side and
on the West Side. Parents are expect
ed to be mindful enough of their duty
toward tho community to keep their
children away fiom school when any
member ot the family has dlphtherlt
or any other contagious dlseuse.

SMITH IS STILL
THE CHAMPION
JUDGE UNABLE TO WREST THE
TITLE FROM HIM.
Tho End of tho Twontleth Round
Had Almost Arrived When tho
Knock-Out Blow Was Delivered.
Smith. Showod Oreat Superiority in
Fighting and tho Rules Agieed
Upon to Govern tho Fight Favored
Him Judgo Had to Bo Carried
from the Stage.
Jlmmio Judge, Scranton's aspirant
for tho welterweight championship,
wns knocked out by tho world's cham
pion, "Mysterious Billy Smith." In the
final round of their twenty-round go
before the American Sporting club in
Music Hnll last night.
The knockout was delivered just
fourteen seconds before the gong would
hnve sounded tho llnnle of the fight.
Tho match was for a purso of 51,000
and a side bet, said to be $1,000 more.
All the J3 and $2 seats were filled, but
only about half of the $3 seats had oc
cupants, which would make tho at
tendance less than one thousand.
Among the spectators were many
prominent sporting men from n dis
tance and good sized delegations ot
lovers of flstlcuns from Wllkes-Barre,
Plttston, Carbondale. Blnghamton and
other neighboring places.
Jack Bonner, of Summit Hill, who
defeated Dan Creedon recently for the
middleweight championship: Billy
Needham, ex-champlon lightweight of
the world; Jerome Qulgley, of Phila
delphia, the well known lightweight,
and a number of lesser lights of the
ring were among the on-looker.s.
Sam Austin, of the Police Gazette,
was referee nnd Harry U. Hopewell an
nouncer. Tudgo had as his seconds
P. J. Hopkins, Frank Eckles, Wllllnin
Dobbs, and his manager Jack Skelly.
In Smith's corner weie Bonner, Need
ham nnd Harry Tuthlll. Billy Roche.
Smith's manager, was his timekeeper,
Ed. Coleman performed a like service
for Judge, nnd M. II. Keelcy held tho
watch for tho club.
THE PRIMARY CAUSE.
Marquis of Queensbtiry rules gov
erned the contest. Fighting wns per
mitted while ono arm was free and
this primatlly wns the cause of Judge's
defeat. In nil his previous contests,
the rule barring fighting In tho clinch
es wns n stipulation. In championship
battles this agreement nowadays sel
dom obtains. Smith Is an In-lighter
first, last and nil the time. Judge Is
a high and long distance fighter, with
but little practice in hard shoit aim
work. He could not keep oft such a
good man as Smith and the conse
quence was that from the vety first
he was second best man.
It was not what would he called an
interesting fght by the average spec
tator. Both men fought close and
warily, taking few chances und de
pending mora on wonting each other
out than on ndminlsterlng a defeat
with some favorite knockout Mow.
When Smith wus the uggiessor h"
went for Judge's body. When Judge
did the leading he played for Smith's
face. It was a constant succession of
alternating rushes. Smith's favorite
game was to rush his right Into Judge's
wind, grab him about the neck vv 1th
his left and while Judge was hugging
him, pound him In the hide with shnit
arm punches or bring down the heel
of his hand with all his force and with
careful deliberate aim on Judge's ba''k
In the region of the lower libs. Bofoi,
the teferee could call "hieak," he
would almost invariably have two or
three hard blows of this kind effective
ly placed.
WHERE SMITH EXCELLED.
Judge seemed to bo helpless to pie
vent this kind of thing. No matter
how lie would clinch and hug Smith
would manage to get In a blow or two
before his arm would be Impilsoned.
If he In turn attempted high Infighting
in the clinch Smith would be theie to
meet him, and as Smith excelled In
every phase of short arm work Judg"
would as a rule fare worse than when
he simply contented himself with try
ing to pinion Smith with a hug.
Judge's back on the left.lower side wns
of a law beefsteak hue from being
mode a special target ot Smith's right
in the one-arm llghdng.
Judge's most successful nnd, in fact,
only effective attack was with his piston-rod
punches fiom his long nnd
quick-acting left. These Jibs also were
used with varying success In stopping
Smith's rushes. He seldom made use
of his light, but withal had, if any
thing, the best of what little long dis
tance fighting he forced Smitli to
participate In.
One thing sure, Smith though a
world's chnmpion, found In Judge a
man to give him fight ev ery second of
the three minutes between gongs.
Smith wore a rather superelllious air
and even as enrlv us the fourth round,
winked ana grimaced at his beconds,
as much as to sa "Isn't it a sliaino
what I'm going to uo to him after
awhile."
Several times ho spoke in a patron
izing way to his opponent nnd thoso
near the ring side say that in the last
round ho whispered to Judge to korp
away from him. Events proved that
he had s. license to feel quite confident,
but his manner provoked many of tho
spectators Into an increased desire lo
see Judge "punch his head off."
JudgeV demeanor bespoke his appre
ciation of tho fact that ho was to havo
the busiest evening he over put In.
His plan of campaign wns palpably to
fight carefully and stay tho twenty
rounds if possible.
JUDGE APPEARED FIRST.
It was 10.28 before tho light com
menced. Judge nppeured first and
Smith followed live minutes later.
Judgo was given a hearty ovation,
but tho loudjc-n cheering wus done
when Jack Runner, tho new middle
weight champion, was Introduced as
ono of Smith's seconds,
Tho men wero examined In their
dressing rooms by Doctors Longstieet
and O'Malley beforo coming on tho
s(ago and found (o be in perfecf phy
sical condition. They weighed 145
pounds npleco with their undoi cloth
ing on at 3 o'clock In Purcell's und
were probably nil of (lint -mil a few
pounds more in their trunks when they
entered the ring. Judgo had the ad
vantage of nn Inch and three-quarters
In height, but as explained previously
this was of lltde avail because of the
absence of stand-off fighting.
After n long consultation in tho cen
ter of the stage, In which Referee
Austin took the leading part, the ilng
was ordeied cleared nnd the bell sound
ed for the men to commence.
Round 1 A minute's fiddling Is followed
by low rushes by Smith, his right land
lav gingerly on Judge's winds, Judgo gets
a left jab In on Smith's Jaw nnd In the
clinch that follows Smith hammers
Judge's sldo with is right, Judgo ranking
uo effort to rctallnto In kind, Judgo Innd
ed several blowj on the lund, but they
nro offset by Smith punishing him In tho
ribs.
Round 2 Smith aggressive and going
for Judgo's wind, Judgo mainly fights nt
Smith's head. Judge makes a weak at
tempt to emulate Smith's Infighting but
Is glad, evidently, when tho clinch Is tit
un end.
Round 3 Smith misses a vicious right
hand swing. Judgo begins working his
left hand Jabs and sovcrnl times sends
Smith's bend back.
Round 4 Judgo lands his left full In
Smith's faco. Smith retaliates nt tho ribs.
Judgo returns to his Jabbing and succeed
ing In keeping Smith off for n time tries
and succeeds In landing two left swings
on tho head. Smith towards tho closo of
tlin round Is kept busy taking left Jabs
nnd left swings followed by hard plunges
with tho shoulder ufopcrly aimed.
Landed ins right.
Round R Judgo keeps on Jahblng with
his piston-rod left. Smith Is lajlng back
a llttlo to take nnotber survey of things
und Judge encouraged n llttlo thereby
lands his right for the first time. At
tho closo of the round Judge's friends
were expecting great things.
Round C Judge begins leading his left
for the head and his right for the body
and does sooio very effective worki Smith
lands a vicious overhead blow on tho
back of tho neck while Judge Is ducking
and In the succeeding clinches pounds
Judge's back nnd sides repentedly and
with force.
Round 7 Smith getH tho best or a
flerco mix-up. Judge lands a hard left
Jab nnd Smith works on Judgo's back.
Round 8 Both men fighting. Smith
lands his first clean right hand swing on
neck. Punches Judgo's ribs hard, whllo
Judge is clinging nbout his neck.
Round 9 Smith forcing ln-llghting nnd
getting tho best of It.
Round 10 Roth men strong. Smlth'a
right lands viciously on Judgo's ribs.
Judgo swings his left on tho Jaw.
Round 11 Smith's right ngnln chons
Judge's ribs. Judge lands light nnd Ictt
on Smith's face. Smith administers somo
sevcro punishment on two successive
clinches and sends Judgo to his knees
with a hook on tho Jaw. Judge takes thu
limit and the bell sounds as ho springs
up.
Round 12 Judge's left eye begins to
swell. He lands beautifully left and rlgnt
on Smith's fncc. Smith gives him in re
turn nn awful nrm swing In the side.
Judgo falls to follow effectively with his
right.
Round 13 Smitli gets tho worst of a
succession of long nrmed cNchanges nnd
tho round closes with the champion re
solving to tho trick of pressing his nun
viciously ngnlnst Judge's windpipe nnd
pressing his head back.
Round 14 Judge lacks steam In nls
short nrm ntlempts Even exchanges
Smith started to rush things nnd was
stopped twice by Judge's left. Cheers tor
Judge mark the close of the round.
Round IV Smith resumes his efforts to
bring matters to a cllmnx Following
Judge Into a corner he deals him a vicious
upper cut and while Judgo Is hasv
pounds him hard nbout tho head. It was
tho beginning of the end.
Round IB Smith makes tiger-like Jumps
past Judge's guard and lavs into Judge's
wind Judge's efforts nro confined to
ducking to save himself.
Rouml 17 Judgo lands a strong left
swli.g, but after a succession of rushes
Into Judge's wind, the ch implon lauds
a staggering right on tho jnw. The son,?
sounded none too soon for Judge.
