Both men were championship contenders, and Matthews soon after-wardd attained welterweight honors by defeating Mysterious Billy Smith and Rube Ferns. Matty is now a stage hand in New York, having always had a fondness for the theater, and McPartland is a boxing referee. Both Matty and the Kid were at their fighting best In 1900. They had fought a draw the previous year, and Romances of The Ring BY TIM Ireland' Hope Oh, for another Dan Donnelly! That wish was on the lips and In the hearts of all true sons of the Em-erals Isle in those dreary days in the second quarter of the nineteenth century which followed the passing of Ireland's greatest gladiator of the ring.

Irish hope had risen high with the dashing, debonair Jack Langan, who had won honors as a soldier of fortune in the South American wars for independence, had' in 1824 thrown down the gauntlet to Tom Spring, England's pride. Jack had fought like a true Hibernian, but his best was not good enough, and Irish sportsmen had seer, their hopes dashed to the ground by the flailing fists of the Englishman.

It was a battle from start to finish and several times Arkansas City was within two or three points of the locals. It was either team's game until the last few minutes of play, when Wichita secured a lead and was safe. Not only did the teams play a hard and fast game, but the team work and' goal shooting was of the unusual. Every man was in action all the time and the ball was passed with lightning rapidity from player to rlaver. The playing was clean on both sides, only thirty fouls being made by both lives.

But few of these were cer- sonals and not a player was put out of me game ror touls. Wichita started off in the lead with a field goal and Arkansas City cams back with another. Wichita caged a second shot and then Arkansas City went into the lead. Wichita tied the score and Jumped ahead. When the first quarter ended the score was 10 to 7.

From then on Wichita maintained a lead, though small at times. The ursi nair enaea wun me score 20 to 16 in favor of Wichita. This game developed a new star on the Wichita team in the nerson of Marvin Harms at forward. The lankv youngster was "right" and several of his shots were the kind that bring cneers rrom the tans, lungmeyer, the most dependable pointmaker on the team, again led in the scoring with twenty-two points.

The first game, between Coldwater High school second team and Protection High school second team, was a hotly contested and close game, resulting in a score of, Coldwater 14, and Protection 12. The second game was a league game between the Coldwater High school and the Protection High school. The teams were evenly matched and at the end of the first half, the score stood, Protection 15, and Coldwater, 12. With 600 people cheering, the second half ended with Coldwater winning by ft score of 28 to 25. The third game of the evening, between the Coldwater Booster club and the Protection town was a fast one, but at no time was the result in doubt.

Coldwater won by a score of 38 to 28. The receipts amounted to $175. Coldwater chartered a special train, consisting of five coaches and all were comfortably filled with more than 250 enthusiastic rooters together with Coldwater's cornet band and Its three basketball teams. The train left Coldwater at 7 o'clock and returned at 12 o'clock through a blinding snow storm with the mercury at the aero point. Davis of Fairmount ref-ereed.

Moundrldge, Jan. 29. Moundrldge High school won a double-header basketball game here Friday night. The Moundridge first team defeated the McPherson Highs by the score of 60 to 28 and the Moundridge Seconds defeated Canton High, 47 to 23. Moundridge lost the state championship to Wichita last year and is coming back this year better than ever.

Moundridge challenges any high school team In the state. Clearwater, Jan. 29. Tn a fast game here last night. Coats High school was defeated by Clearwater High with the score of 44 to 10.

The team work of the Clearwater squad was the feature. Clearwater had the Coats team outclassed in every department, but the game was not as one-sided as the score indicated. This is one of the regular Knglewood Branch league games. The Clearwater Seconds defeated the Viola Seconds by the score of 26 to 15. This game was exceedingly fast but the Clearwater team had the advantage in goal shooting.

Newklrk, Jan. 29. In. a fast and rough game Friday night, the New-kirk High School Cubs defeated the Ponca City High School Midgets by the score of 35 to 13.

into a pond added to his troubles. Tn the early rqunds Simon fought hard and well, but he soon weakened, and became a mere chopping block for Jem's blows. In the thirty-third round, after a magnificent exhibition of gameness on Byrne's part his seconds mercifully tossed up the sponge. It was a sad day for Ireland when the Emerald Gem fell before the Black Diamond of England. "You're a brave man.

Simon, and I've had a hard time to lick you." said Ward at the conclusion of the battle. It was Ward's last battle, and soon "Deaf Burke, of Irish blood but English birth, came to the front. Byrne had also retired I and settled down on his native heath, but In 1833 he was induced to again enter the championship lists against "Deaf" Burke. Such a battle! Brutal, bloody, repulsive, yet magnificent! For one hour two three the giants battered each other, until neither could more than stand. Youth had to be served, however, and sixteen minutes after the battle had passed the three-hour mark, Burke put all his strength into a blow that stretched Bvrne senseless.

Simon was unconscious for hours, and, although the greatest surgeon in the kingdom was called in, his life could not be saved. As he lay dying Byrne whispered with his final breath: "It Is not the Deaf 'Un's fault. It was the drink.

1904 Eddie Hanlon knocked out Kid Broad in 14th round at h-n Francisco. This was the second titn Broad's long ring career that he forced to take the count, and the victory of the Californian, who was then only 18 years old, marked the beginning of the end of Broad as a scrapper. Kid Broad was a Cornishman like Bob Fitzsimmons, but came to America as a bov and started fighting in Buffalo in 1898. For yars he mingled with the featherweights, his opponents including George Dixon, Dave Sullivan, Terry 'McGovern. Oscar Gardner, Young Corbett, and other leaders.

He onc-t-knocked out Young Corbett, onl- a few months before the Denverite took the title from McGovern, but was defeated in a return match. Broad's first experience of how it feels to be knocked out came in 3f03. when he stopped in the 4th round of a contest with Aurelio Herrera, the Mexican, in Butte, Mont. The Englishman was an almost-champion as a featherweight, but his defeat by Herrera and Hanlon reduced him to the li nks of the has-beens, and after the Hanlon affair he never won an important bout.

Pennsylvania, f-hooting averages and try to select it 600 gun clubs, couldn't furnlsft therefrom Ail-American amateur and, i v. Thousands, tens or thousands aye, hundreds of thousands perhaps were transferred from Irish pockets to Eng- lish purses after that historic battle.

So Ireland bided its time, and like i the Frenchman of a later generation, Drooaea or "revancne. uozens or young Irishmen, inspired' by the noble ambition to wipe out the stain of the Langan defeat and revive the glorious era of Dan Donnelly, took up the ight-iner game, and" some of them made great progress, but among them all here was not a man considered good enough to fight Jem Ward, "The Black Diamond," who had succeeded to the puerilistic throne of England. Not one? Well, there were not a few Irishmen who believed that Simon Byrne was good enough to lower the proud' colors of England. A eriant was Simon, towering above six feet, gam to the Irish core of him and with a tremendous wallop, although no marvel as to science. Simon Byrne received his baptism of blood in the ring on a June day in 1S23, when he fought Mike Larkina, a countryman, at Brassington Course, Ireland, for $200 a side.

For 138 rounds the tide of battle surged back and forth, and' in the end Larkins was awarded the victory. It was Simon who gained the glory, however, for he was a novice and his opponent a veteran. After a few more contests on the ould sod, in which he -was the victor. Simon set out for pastures new and landed in Scotland. In 1827 he fought Alexander McKay of Scotland, near Glasgow, and defeated him in 47 minutes.

A few months later he fought Avery at the same place, winning in one hour and 35 minutes. With Scotia's laurels upon him, Simon Byrne journeyed to London, bent on winning for Ireland the championship of the British world. Arrived in the metropolis, Simon issued a challenge to Jem Ward. The champion was nothing loath, and in March of 1828 the ring was pitched for the great battle on a cricket field at Leicester. The journey from Ireland' to England was no easy task In those days, but hundreds of sport loving sons of the sod made the trip and joined the thousands who gathered at the ringside on the day chosen.

As the hour for the battle approached' the mob suddenly went wild with wrath. The announcement was made that Jem Ward was seriously 111 and could not appear. "Coward!" "A dom English trick!" These and other exclamations of rage came from the Irish contingent and the Englishmen were scarcely less angry with their champion. If "The Black Diamond" could have been found that day he would have had a hundred fights on his hands, but he had wisely made himself scarce. The suspicions of the Irishmen as to Ward's sudden illness proved to have been well founded, but it was not cowardice that kept Jem awav.

He had enterea Into an agree ment with a bunch of blackguard gamblers to throw the fight, but at the last minute his nerve failed him and he had solved the difficulty by running out of the affair. "The Great Leicester Hoax" as It was called, so soured the public aeainst ard that for a time he was blacK-listed by all decent sportsmen. In the meantime, Simon Bryne claimed the championship by default, and, with Ward barred from fighting. It was generally conceded that the big Irishman was entitled to the honors. That was naturally unsatisfactory to thu Hibernian sports, however, for they wanted their champion to win by fighting.

Ward, protesting his sorrow for tho hoax, begged Byrne to fight him, but Simon declared that he wouldn't meet such a man for money, but that he would take pleasure in thrashing him "for love." Ward was broke, and refused to fight except for money, so there the matter stood for a time. On St. Patrick's day in 1830 Simon Byrne met Ward In the Holborn Castle, a famous sporting resort. Simon, his heart mellowed by Irish whiskey and the good feeling of the day, couldn't nurse his anger any longer, and, with tears In his eyes, he embraced Ward and promised to fight him. In the meantime, however, Byrne had a match on with Sandy McKay, a Scotchman who aspired to the championship.

McKay took such a beating that he died soon afterward from the effects of It. Byrne was tried for manslaughter, and acquitted, but a postponement of his fight with Ward was necessary. On St. Pat's day In 1831 the men met again and agreed to fight for the championship the following July. Bvrne, who had won the nickname of "The Emerald Gem." was too fond of his native potheen for his own srood and he spent most of the interveninc time in Dublin, engasrod in drinking bouts with all his cronies.

He was "hog fat" when he reached England a few weeks before the fisht. and, according to the custom of the day, he was given a severe course of physic to bring him down to weight. Shortly before the momentous date he caught a severe cold, and he was weak and 111 when he entered the ring.

When the bell sounded both men sprang toward each other. McPartland feinted twice with! his left, and had just started a Jab i when bing! a right with every ounce of strength in Matty's body behind it took the Kid on the jaw. It was all over, for McPartland was unconscious for some time after the count. McPartland and Matthews fought again the following month, but the Kid was wary, and he stuck seventeen rounds before Matty was hailed the victor. The shortest fight on record is us-uallv given as that between Dal Hawkins and Martin Flaherty at Carson City in 1897, when the Californian landed a knockout after four seconds of fighting.

The Matthews knockout wasn't timed, but sports who witnessed both battles are inclined to believe that Matty made even quicker work of it than Hawkins. About the shortest championship battle was that between Jerry Mc Govern and Pedler Palmer, the Eng lishman, at Tuckahoe. N. In 1899. This contest was for the bantamweight title, and the spectators had barely had time to cheer the little eladiators on their way wnen Terry landed a punch that put the Britisher to sleep.

It will be twenty years tomorrow since Palmer fought his first battle on this side, going six rounds to a draw with George Dixon in New York. Three years later Palmer returned to America to fight Dixon again, but was induced to take on McGovern as a "preliminary" to his main engagement. Since the war began Palmer has been employed in the famous Woolwich arsenal In England, helping to provide the men at the front with munitions. Another mighty funny title battle If brevity is wit was that between Joe Gans and Frank Erne In 1902, at Fort Erie. Canada, The negro became lightweight champion of the world with one punch, which stretched Erne out for the count.

The battle at Langtry, between Fltzsimmons and Peter Maher, back in 1896. was another classic example of this kind. There were two good punches landed, however, on that occasion. Peter led. off with a blow which Ruby Robert declares was one of the hardest he ever received.

It didn't stop Bob. and he almost immediately retaliated with a punch which sent Peter down for the count, with his wide open, staring, glassy eyes seeing nothing but a vast multitude of stars. Sailor Tom Sharkey gave Gus Ruhlln the surprise of his life at Coney Island in 1898, when the Tar's first punch found a vulnerable spot in Gus's anatomy, and sent him staggering down and out. Another famous one-punch heavyweight bout was pulled off at Colma in 1907, when Burns fought Bill Squires, the widely touted Australian lemon. It was cold lemon punch that was served to Bill, for one punch knocked the "lemon" cold.

The fans at Colma saw another battle of this kind the following year, when Stanley Ketchel took Just -one biff at Mik and rocked him to sleep.
