A fight is never over until the last count or the decision of the referee. Often an apparently beaten man wins through landing an unexpected blow. That is why a good referee Is slow to stop a match in which one contender is apparently outclassed, but still strong enough to have a chance to win.

It seems that Drace was injured worse than was thought and when his shoulder was again bumped a little later, he had to be removed from the game.

A verc alile attack and the ability to choose the right plays at the right time characterized Central's victory over McKinley. Although held scoreless the firt quarter and actually outplayed in the third. Central managed to score often enough in the other two periods to make the contest an uneven affair. Forward passes playeu a conspicuous part In the victory, two touchdowns coming directly by the aerial route and a third closely following a pass. Central scored its first marker early in the second period when a forward pass, Kittlaus to Goldberg, brought the ball to McKinley's 10-yard line, whence Fisher, quarterback, took it over on a plunget but missed goal.

Central scored its' second marker a few minutes late by means of a venerable and hoary football trick. Goldberg. Central end, escaped the observation of the opposition by lying down near the sidelines and when Kittle us heaved the ball he had a clear field ahead.

Ta TUNCMC5 UtTi. UE VMKS OUT Unexpected Blows blow was finally barred, and all boxing rules today forbid it as a foul. A Terrific Blow. I saw Frankie Neil knock out Harry Forbes for the bantamweight championship in Pan Francisco with an odd punch. Neil was a machinist, keeping the Mergenthaler machines in repair in a San Francisco newspaper office.

His work developed a remarkable pair of forearms. In his first 20 fights he won 18 with a clean knockout, nearly all in one round. He knocked out Clarence Forbes, the champion's brother, and Harry gave him a match to get revenge. Harry Forbes was one of the cleverest little men I ever saw, and a corking fighter. He was rushing Hell and hitting him fast with both hands, when Neil suddenly plunged straight at him, swayed to the right and swung his stiffened left arm like a ball bat.

twisting his wrist as his glove landed on Forbes' ribs. Forbes dropped, wriggled around, and couldn't get up. His legs were paralyzed for the time, and the referee counted him out. Benny Leonard won the lightweight championship by hanging Freddy Welsh helpless on the ropes, hitting him rapidly with short hooks that kept him from falling to the floor, where he might have taken a nine-second rest Welsh was doubled over the ropes and swaying there, when Referee McPartland stepped in and waved Benny away. Released from the ropes.

Welsh crumpled and fell to the floor, out. A Desperate Finish. Bob Fitzsimmons made a heroic attempt to win back the heavyweig.it championship in his second fight with JeffrleB. He nearly knocked Jeffs head off for a few rounds, broke his hands, kept on hitting with what knuckles he had left, and had Jeffs eyes closed. Jeff pushed one eye open with his right hand, and is Flta lunged at him feinted at Bob's chin and dropped his stiffened left arm, like a heavy battering ram.

Into stomach. "You've got me:" gasped Fits, dropping his hands, and Jeff's fln-lshlnsr blow struck htm on the jaw. Fitzsimmons told me later tht when he ran Into Jeffs left It felt like beinar hit by the end of a 2x4 timber: It knocked the breath out of him and he couldn't move his leg- He knew the fight was over and was glad when he saw Jeffs right com In swiftly to make a clean finish of It.

bit of strategy or a turn of luck. Such a thing happened when George La Blanche knocked out the old Jack Dempsey, the nonpareil former middleweight champion. The fight was in San Francisco. Aug. 27, 1889.

At that time Dempsey was regarded as without a peer in his class. He had met the marine, as La Blanche was called, in IS 86, and had knocked him out in 13 rounds. After that La Blanche had beaten a lot of other good men, and earned a right to challenge Dempsey again. Still Dempsey's backers never thought Jack could posdibly lose. Dempsey trained at Croll's Gardens, Alameda, where Terry McGov-ern trained, years afterward, for the fight in which Young Corbett beat him a second time.

In those days fights were usually to a finish, and when good men met they often went many rounds. There was no rushing lit for a quick knockout. Each man tried to outgeneral the other, and the finishing blows started only when one was weakened or tricked into leaving Bure openings. Dempsey Let All Uio Way. Jack Dempsey outfought La Blanche all the way until the thirty-second round.

Here he had the marine dazed, groggy and bewildered. People were starUng for the doors. The fight seemed all over. La Blanche, unable to hold off Dempsey's swift attack, turned his back, and catching the ropes with his left hand tried to slip aside and escape until he could recover. i Dempsey stepped In.

La Blanche pulled himself around the rope. whirUng completely around to face Dempsey again, and in turning swung his right arm at full length as If trying to brush Dempsey back. The side of his fist struck Dempsey on the point of the chin. To the amazement of the crowd Dempsey fell in a heap, knocked completely out. La Blanche was as startled by this unexpected result as any of the spectators.

But when he realized that he had won he encouraged the Impression that he had simply used a new and clever Diow. iney caiieu it "The La Blanche Swing," and for some time afterward La Blanche practiced it. and other fighters tried to use It.

STRENGTHENED TEAMS TO MEET IN SOCCER LEAGUE DOUBLE-HEADER TODAY With the return of Quinn, Vaughn, Brannlgan and Corrlgan to the various lineups today, all the stars of the St. Louis Soccer League will have been corralled. Quinn will go to center halfback for the Ben Millers. Vaughn to left fullback for the De Andreis, Brannlgan to outside left for the Sculllns and Corrlgan to inside right for the Screw Co. The appearance of these men in the games tod trlngs the strength of the clubs to a point beyond any heretofore reached.

There Is not a elngi team In the league visibly weak. The Sculllns are stronger than last year when they ran No. 2 In the national championship race. The four teams are more nearly equal In strength than they have been since the days of Athletic Park. Among the new men who will survive after the test games of the past two weeks is Cunningham, a native of Dublin.
