The negroes furnished the fastest bat tle seen here between heavyweights In years and the knockout came as the sensational close of a round In which Cotton apparently had Harris at his mercy. Harris had the better of the earlier rounds and in tho third put Cotton down for the count of nine with a right swing to the Jaw. When Cotton clambered to his fet he was groftsy but the hell saved him. He came back strong In the next round and Just be fore the knockout had Harris weak and covering up. In the last minute of the seventh. Cotton forced Harris hard, but out of a defensive crouch Harris suddenly let fly a right swing that caught Cot ton fairly over the heart and he crumpled like a leaf.

Feb. 9. (Special.) D. A. Fletcher, who proposed to establish a third major league, h until tomorrow evening to shoot or give up the gun. He holds contracts with 90 star players In both major leagues and it will cost him 900,000 to make the first payment. Im mediately thereafter he must begin pay ing princely salaries,' so the outlook 19 not bright unless he is lined with money. It Is admitted that he had the mag nates of the older leagues pretty bndly scared when- the subject was first broached and it Is noticed that nearly all players are securing a substantial increase in salary this sesason, while ef forts are being made to secure their sig natures to three or flve-year contracts. Players who gave tentative contracts to Fletcher will hold out until the last hour to give him an opportunity to make good, although few of them think he will do so, at least this season. They will probably not be censured by their em ployers for giving tho contracts, as thpre is a feeling that a new league is bound to arise. Today Only 1 ti'4 . B6$ FAIR TO BE PERMANENT CLARK COCXTY WOULD INCOR PORATE HARVEST SHOW. Capital Would Be Invested In Real Estate and Enterprise Would Be Self-supporting. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Feb. 9. (Spe cial.) Arrahgementa are being made to Incorporate the Clark County Harvest Show for J25.000, and with the money paid In for the stock to buy acreage in or. near Vancouver, build a pavilion with stock sheds, a small .arena and oth er necessary buildings. Clement Scott, manager of the show ast Fail, and to whom credit for its success was given, returned today from a meeting of Pomona Grange at Wash ougal, where several hours were spent yesterday in discussing the proposed plans for organization. Every member ras heartily In favor or organizing nl 11 pledged their hearty support. Hnd stock been for sale yesterday, Mr. Scott said, he could have sold several large blocks there. Admissions to the fair will pay th running expenses and premiums, and perhaps a little more, so that all of the money paid in for stock will be spent for real property, which has a perman ent value, and the stock can be realized on at any time, according to the plans and suggestions of C. D. Hayes, presi dent of the show, before a meeting of the Vancouver Commercial Club last night i Under the law the show, when organ ized, can apply to the County Com missioners for aid and the Commission ers will be allowed to levy a half mill tax, which would net about ,2500, with the present assessed valuation. This probably will be done. The Commis sioners have expressed themselves as willing to assist the enterprise. The fairgrounds will be on a canine and can be used for picnics, chautau- quas and other gatherings. It is not likely a racetrack will be built, but the show will be along modern llnea, pro duce and livestock being shown. Zybszsko Is Winner. NEW YORK, Feb. 9.
