Only one man in ring history ever fought two battles of longer duration. Andy Bowen, the New Orleans mulatto boxer, exceeded i Mike Madden's record in 1893 when he fought seven hours and nineteen minutes with Jarit Burke and then, a few weeks later, defeated Jack Everhardt In five hours and thirty-eight minutes. In these two contests Bowen bottled for twelve hours und fifty-seven minutes. Those were glove contests, however and tho participants did not take nearly so much punishment as did the old "Iron men" who fought with the raw 'una.

The source of The Register's Information Is regarded as reliable by the sporting editor, but he Is not at liberty to divulge the man- ner In which tho leulutge occurred. CORRECT SCORE OF THAT IOWA CITY GAME. The sports editor is in receipt of the following query; "Will you please toll me what was tho correct score of the 1914 Notiriti-ka-Iowa football game. Some say It was 16 to Was not 18 to 7 tho oor-rert score? If not, how did Iowa make its 9 points? Yours truly "READKR OF TUB DAILY STAR." Answers The correct score was 16 to 9. Nehranka made ono touchdown as a result of a straight march down the field which ended In Quarterback Potter going over the Iowa goal to touchdown.

Hulllgan kicked the goal. Halligan also executed three place kicks from the field, Increasing Nebraska's total to 16 points. Iowa cored a Jtcwhdown on a long forward pass over the Nehranka goal line. The Hawkeyea missed their try for gonl, hut subsequently kicked a goal from the field, which accounts for Iowa's total of 8 points. BURNS HAS HAD NO PART IN TRAINING 8TECKER.

Either "Farmer" Burns Is trying to tako credit for the development of Joe Bteckor credit which hn docs not In the slightest sense deserve or a sports writer on the staff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is woefully Ignorant of tho facts connected with the Ncbruska boy's rise to fame. The writer was responsible for the following In a recent Issue: Besides, any man with a single system can be beaten. Gotch knows 'm all, and is some pun-Isher himself. However, if any, man could beat Ootch It ought to be Bleaker.

Reason: Farmer football coach. One of these pussy-footers has broken Into print with the following apology for the blunder of the state university authorities in allowing Stlehm to get away; Much as friends of tho university will regret the loss of Coach Stlehm, author of an unbroken line of winning football teams, the wisdom of the university In allowing Indiana's bid to stand will hardly be questioned. The university has been paying Mr. Stlehm a salary of 13,500. a year.

This Is nearly a thousand more than Is paid to a professor who is head of a department, and ranks the athletlo director next to the chancellor in financial importance. Important as football and other forma of athletics may be, a university cannot afford to allow, other branches of student activity to be too conscplcuously overshadowed by them. The sciences and the arts must be respected and conserved, even though at the cost of an occasional humiliation on the gridiron. It Is well, too, that no countenance was given the Idea of meeting Indiana by a supplementary salary contributed from outside the university. That would add a sporting and commercial aspect to university which would ultimately lead to embarrassment if not disrepute.

The that could come of the action that was taken would be a chancs for Iowa or Kansas to win a football game. Cannot Nebraska happy this Chrlstmustide at thought of such good fortune to Its neighbors? In this fashion are the enemies of the game of the gridiron exulting over the loss of Jumbo Stlehm.

The blunt facts are that Joe Stecker never has had ought to do with "farmer" Burns, who, Instead of coaching or having any kindly interest in the Dodge county phenom, actually is trying to prevent Ptecker from wrestling before Omaha audiences.

Frank doteh, the renowned strongman from Humboldt, does not wish enough for a diaphanous green BKiri, The Feds admit they're, not looking for big profits right off the bat They to return to the wrestling game to dispute with Jo Stecker the right to the heavyweight title. Gotch was a spec tator at last night's mat bout In Sioux City between Stecker and Paul Martinson of Chicago. Stepping before the footlights, Gotch assured the mat fans that ha had gleaned ample fame and reward from, a long career and that he believed the public should not ask him to "come back." And then doteh proved himself a good fellow and booster by Informing the audience that Nebraska has developed a great youngster In Jos Stecker and that nothing would please him more than to see Stecker wrestle his way to the top of the heap, attaining a position where his right to the championship could not be in dispute. Btecker's match with Martinson resulted In a victory for the Nebraska prodigy In straight falls. Martinson kept Stecker busy and waa not pinned for the first fall until after twenty minutes of a thrilling grapple.

Martinson stuck It out eleven minutes before being pinned for the second and final fall. Stacker did not wrsstle his usual aggressive match; ha seemed slow snd dead on his feet, which wm explained by tho fact that he was alck In bed all of last woek and, In fact, was still sick last night In Sioux City bpfore golnu onto the mat. Btecker's ailment Is an attack of grippe. The match had been once postponed and Stecker and his manager, J. F.

The professors get their pay from university funds derived from taxation, while the bulk of the athletic director's salary comes from athletic funds taken in at the football box office, A successful athletic director gets more pay than nn ordl-nury professor at any Institution of learning In the country. He la entitled to more pay because. If successful, his athletic teams draw the money at the gate. Jumbo Stiehm had "delivered the goods" at Nebraska, where athletics had enjoyed unusual prosperity during his regime. A paltry Increase of $750 from an athltlc treasury which contained amnle funds would have enabled the Cornhusker Institution to retain Stienm's services, Indiana university which has a chancellor who is an enthusiastic supporter of and believer In athletics and li not hampered by fapulty Jealousies, then stepped in and lunded the prize.

The pussy-footers have been heard from and are but. the alumni of the university of Nebraska have not spoken and there is a fairly strong suspicion that whert they do speak It will be sharp and to the point.

He, furthermore, hns suffered reverses in post-season, non-tournament meetings, which, having no direct bearing upon his place as a golfer In the amateur world, indirectly hurts his case when It comes to determining whether a golfer Is supreme above his fellows. Title to Bob Gardner. Robert A. Gardner won the national amateur, but It was by the grace of fate that was unkind to Maxwell R. Marston that the Hinsdale golfer reached the final at Detroit; furthermore, Gardner has not figured in a sufficient number of competitions to establish a place for himself apart from the others crowding around tho upper circles of amateur golf.

Francis Oulmet dropped from his high estate, beginning with the national open, followed up by his reverse in amnteur, and concluded with his defeat at Greenwich again in the Lesley cup play. There has been no one, therefore, In the amateur ranks who has won for himself a recognition akin to that accorded Jerome D. TraVers or Walter J. Travis In the years of their uii-auestioned supremacy, or H. Chandler Egan and one or two other figures prominent in U.

We recall the days of the late Willie Anderson, when It was not a ouestlon of who might win the national open championship, but who had a chance to take the palm away from this master of skill and nerves.

This was Broome's first Important battle and marked the beginning of a career that waa to land him In the championship. Mason, who was a brother of Boleno, the famous English clown, was a hard hitting bruiser and had been defeated but once before.

Harry Broome enjoyed a great advantage In that he waa the younger brother of Johnny Broom'i, one of the cleverest men who ever engaged In the boxing game and a very competent teacher. Harry Broome would have been a second rater except for tho constant Instruction he received from his brother. In .1861 Harry fought Bill Perry, the Tipton Slasher, for the championship of England era of the squared circle, contests that lasted three or four hours, with each combatant giving and taking the most gruelling sort fbf punishment, were frequent in those days. One of the most celebrated of the old time "Iron men" was Mike Madden. Although he never became a champion and his very name is well nigh forgotten, Mike deserves to be remembered tta the- hero of two of the longest battles ever fought In the ring.

It will be sixty-seven years tomorrow since Mike figured In one of the most historic, but not the longest, cf these bloody conflicts with the raw 'una. On December 12,1848, at Woking, England, he defeated Jack Grant In a battle of 140 rounds lasting five hours and three-quarters. Although both men were terribly punished and barely able to stand, they fought on until darkness forced them to stop. Madden had the best of the argument and Grant was In a sorry plight when he was led away at the conclusion of hostilities. Grant had a long rest and when he returned to the ring he was whipped by Tom Bayers, the "little wonder" who afterwards fought John 1 C.

Heenan for the world's title. About seven months after his battle with Grant, Mike' Madden fought his historic battle with Bill Hayes, a prominent fighter of--that period, at Bdenbridge, Eng. This contest went IS5 rounds and lusted six hours and Ihree minutes.
