ROOT AIID RYAII DRAW Two Men Fight a Game Battle at Tattersall's. IT WAS A CLEVER BOUT Fighters Gire a Scientific Exhibi tion of the Fistic Art. "Tipton Slasher" and Tone Mevratt Have Whirlwind Kaeoaater la the rrellsalaarlea. Jack Root and Tommy Ryan fought tlx round Jo a draw at Tattersall's last night. George Slier gave the decision, and not a voice was raised In dissent from theaverdlct of that veteran.

It waa a clean contest all through, full of science, cleverness, and head- bead work. Not a moment but there was action, the men losing and gaining honors in and by vastly different methods of full of science, cleverness, and wariness In avoiding the dangerous leads of the strong, undefeated Bohemian boy, while the latter rather made the wise ones marvel by his defensive tactics when the experienced ex-Syracusan let go of wallops and books and wings and straights that were started out unexpectedly, both as to time and It did not appear after the start that either of the rival Chicago claimants for the middle-weight championship was at the other's mercy. Both were careful In the extreme, appreciating that everything waa at stake with, Ahem. And so the contest produced no new champion. 1 The one that preceded it, however, came near undoing a local champion.

Benny Yanger. the "Tipton Slasher," who has Just been rushing everybody to defeat for months, was a practical loser until the sixth and final round of his meeting with Tom Mowatt, who was proclaimed about as the fighting conductor" just an very-day sort of employe of the South. Side 8trt Car company. He surprised the talent, and likewise the "slasher," by the amount of knowledge he displayed about the fighting game every phase of It. He proved himself as clever at the Infighting game as Yanger himself, and this McOovern-like kind of battery was generally regarded aa the Italian boy's long suit.

The talent concluded that Mowatt was a "ringer" after he had sent the slasher to the dry goods with strange punches several times, and outfought him quite generally. But Yanger was game. He amply demonstrated it. He had to. He gathered all his strength and science and courage together for a final onslaught in the last round, and catching Mowatt in his own corner showered head and body blowa all around the ring, and finally dropped him In the corner across the arena.

Mowatt took the count, and got up, only to go below again under another shower of flats. He was out. but Referee Slier only bad an opportunity to count two before the bell sounded and saved a knockout. But Eddie San try, who had snatched an hour from his honeymoon to second Mowatt, had previously pitched a towel into the ring. Itoot-Ryaa Flarat Event of But the Root-Ryan fight was the event of the which the principal Interest centered.

The other contests of the evening were of the furious sort, that stirred the blood of the thousands present to a fighting, feverish pitch. When the announcement of the wind-up had been made the wise men, with both coin and opinions, began seeking opportunities for backing the latter with the former. There was a heap of wagering, with Ryan a big favorite. Even at the ringside as good aa 2 to 1 was offered that the man who had Just abandoned Syracuse for Chicago would win either by a knockout or a decision. But tho average odds' were at about 10 to and sometimes 10 to 7.

Root was the first to enter the ring. He took up quarters In the southeast corner, which his manager. Lou Houseman, had previously won for him by the flip of a coin. Jack wore that old many-colored bath robe of his. Joe ChoynsVI, Tommy 'White, Wal- ter Nolan, and Jack Stelner were his sponsors.

He was welcomed by the big crowd -with many cheers, which found further excuse in greeting Tommy Ryan, who came in with Jack Jeffries, Al Weinig, and Harry Cilmore, the cider. Little time waa lost, and silence came over the crowd as the men toed the scratch. Root aad Ryaa Start Work. First Round Root Jabbed left on chest, Ryan blocked left swing for head.

Bell. There were only a few deserted patches In the vast seating capacity of the big building. The crowd was Just such a one as found Its -way to Tatterall'e to the leading fights Of the winter. The continuous rainfall of the cay did not discourage iao lovers oi gooa contests. Nor did the promise of a aultry night.

All the regular patrons were on hand In' the old seats. -Familiar faces bearing a healthy tan told of summer vacations cur tailed by fight fanciers who were bound to be in at the nnirn of the brisk season ol the club which had afforded them so many brisk and gallant fights during the paat ten months. And right well they were rewarded. There was fighting fast and furious from the time the first pair of gladiators stirred up the resin on the mat of the arena. Such a bunch of fights never happened be fore anywhere, and the thousands in the galleries and on the main floor were In an uproar every minute the men on the card were In action.

There were knock-down and knock-outs; exhibitions of gameness that almply aroused the admiration of all hands. Patsy Hogan of New an. under' study for Harry Lombard, and Kid Garfield were the first pair to don thaaottta. Hogan was game and) willing, but these qualities were all he had In stock, and they didn't seem to be permanent characteristics. Any how, he went down In the second round, and waa co anxious to hug the arena upholstering that Referee Bardell stopped the fight.

Then Tommy Lark 1ns of Streator and Dick Fitzpatrick went six of the fastest rounds ever seen on earth, so the wise men averred, and while Fitzpatrick seemed to have a ma-. Jority of the points, a draw decision was well received. Larktns lost a couple of teeth and) several quarts of blood during the exceedingly ani mated engagement, but none of his reputation for cleverness and grit, -Utile Bill Hurley of Hammond. crossed the line to fight Mike BartUy, but be waa put In front of "Turkey Point Bill" Smith, a veteran, who outclassed him In every way. But little Billy went In swung his arms rapidly but harmlessly, and tapping "Turkey Point" about seventy times In ten seconds.

Then "Turkey Point" lent variety to the melee by knocking the Hoosler boy down three ttmea in as many seconds. A towel which Hurley's seconds threw over the ropes ended this number in Just fifty-five seconds. Kid RclIo.au innocent-looking boy with a profusion of blond hair hanging down over his eyes, and who was hailed as being from the prectnets of Englewood. was next pitted against the rushing Kid Abel. Here was another furious contest.

It went the six rounds give and take all through. The Englewocl blond took the decision. It was only a preliminary, but the fight was so active an exhibition that when It was over the crowd Jifsi climbed on its chairs and yelled Itself hoarse, and threw away Its hats and umbrellas and other loose personal property. And then everybody settled back to wait for the "Tipton Slasher" and Conductor Mowatt, and Jack Root and Tommy Ryan. The show had been great, but the big show was coming.

stopped Patsy Hogan of New Orleans afJtr two minutes and forty-two seconds of fighting in the second round. Hogan was substituted for Harry Lombard, who failed to put in an appearance. Hogan waa the flrrt to lead, landing a stiff right Jab on his opponent's mouth. Garfield rushed, and for a few seconds it was give and take all over the ring. A right-hand punch over the heart slowed the New Orleans boy ud somewhat.

He missed several right swings, and Garfield Jabbed him several times with the left wlthcut a return. Just before the gong rang Hogan rallied and reached the chin with a straight right. Hogan was tired when he came up for the second round. Garfield assumed the aggressive and drove four hard rights to the wind, hooking his left sharply on the Jaw. A succession of right and left swings on the head staggered Hogan, and Garfield rushed him repeatedly to the ropes.

In a hot rally in Hogan's corner a right jolt on the Jaw sent Hogan down. He lay prostrate until Koferee Bardell bad reached the count of ten. when he sprang to his feet and wanted to con tinue, but was ordered to his corner. Garfield was declared the winner. Larklas and Fltapatriek Draw.

Young Larkins of Streator and Dick Fitz patrick, the West Side feather-weight, fought six slashing rounds to a draw. The pace was terrinc in me nrst tnree rounds, Dotn iaas mixing with a will, but just at the close of the third round, Fitzpatrick met one of his opponent's rushes with a straight right on the mouth, that brought the blood flowing in a stream and knocked out one of Larkins teeth. Larkins was very weary when he answered the call of time fcr the fourth round. Fitzpatrick Jabbed and hooked bis left to the face and head continually, Larkins responding with rights on the wind. Fitzpatrick was) much the fresher of the two In the concluding rounds, and punished his man severely.

Larkins was game, however, and fought back fiercely to the end. Referee Bardell called the bout a draw. "Turkey Point" Bill Smith of Philadelphia stopped Billy Hurley of Hammond, in fifty-five seconds. Smith forced Hurley to his corner as soon ae the bell rang and booked a left to the wind. Hurley rushed wildly, swinging right and left, and Smith clinched.

As aocn as they broke away, rushed the Hammond lad to the ropes, and hooked his left to the Jaw, sending him to the boards. He arose, only to receive a right Jolt on the chin that sent him down again. A third time he scrambled to his feet, but had hardly regained his balance when a right swing to the head tumbled htm Oat on his back. Hurley's seconds, seeing thaf their man was plainly outclassed, threw up the sponge, and Smith waa awarded the verdict. Roll Defeats Afsal.

Kid Rollo of Englewood defeated Kid Abel In six rounds. Rollo went after his man in the first with the fury of a bulldog. He crowded Abel to the ropes, took left and right Jolts on body and face without flinching, and hurled back a storm of swings in return' that made Abel forget all he had ever learned about boxing; fog the time being. It was a wild, savage mix-up and brought the cpecta-tors in a body to their feet cheering when the belt rung tor the end of the first round. Abel braced up in the second and used his left in straight leads for the face to good advantage.

It was Abel's round. Rollo cam back furiously in the third and Abel tnet-hlm at his own game. To and fro they staggered, exchanging fierce swings' for the Jaw, both bleeding The third, fourth, and fifth rounds were an fast and exciting, and the sixth found Rollo the aggressor.

F. Fitxmaurlce when she rode after the hounds in Ireland, was the cause of her being held in tbo Maxwell street court on the charge of larceny. About 4 o'clock Monday afternoon Domlnlck Motto drove up to the corner of Congress street and Center avenue with a load of vegetables. Mrs. FItzmaurice hailed him and asked for a ride.

Without waiting for hia consent she mounted tbe wagon, when he entered a customer's house, and whipped up the horse, intending at first to take but a short spin. But finding herself once more guiding a horse she became enthusiastic and decided to txtend the drive. The reckless driving attracted Officer Mc-Gulre's attention and he started in pursuit. The woman was by this time going at a rapid gait, and the officer, seeing that he was not a fast runner. Jumped into a buggy, and after a six-blocks' chase overhauled the flying vegetable wagon.

In Justice Dooley's court Mrs. Fitxmaurlce told why she wanted a drive. She lives at No. 176 Bunker street, and her case was continued fcr ten days, pending good behavior. RECEPTION AND MASS MEETING.

Brooks" homo at No. SS20 Rockwell street, but could not find him. Friday afternoon he was surprised to have the object of tbe court's wrath approach him with a request that be be locked up in the county Jail. Tbo prUoner expects his case to be called today. Judge Hanecy is out of the city, and the charge of contempt of court will be heard by another Judge.

Mr. Brooks blames his non-appearance on tais ability aa a sleeper. Late Tuesday evening tbe Juror retired with a resolve to rise early, and appear in Judge Hanecy'a court with a clean shaven face. He says be did not awake until nearly noon. He realised that he had caused a delay in court and feared to face the wrath of the Judge.

He consulted a friend and upon his advice kept In hiding until the meter case had been disposed of. Then he started out to surrender, and his real troubles began. Ha hunted high and low for Judge Hanecy but found that the Judge had left the city on a vacation. Then Brooks visited the Jail aad asked to be made a prisoner. The prison officials positively refused to have anything te do with Brooks, but be was not entirely disheartened and still retained hopes of breaking into JalU Ha stopped policemen on the street, but they only bruahed bus aside and refused to listen to bis story.

Finally a happy thought struck Brooks. He remembered an acquaintance who is employed as a bailiff In the Criminal court. With a light heart the ex-Juror hastened to the home of his official-friend. He told his story and asked to be taken to Jail. Again he was disappointed.

The friend would not arrest Brooks but he knew another bailiff who would perform that duty. The following day Mr. Brooks met his bailiff friend at the Criminal court building, but tbe greater portion of tbe day passed without success crowning Brooks' efforts. Just as dusk was falling, and Brooks was raking his mind for a scheme to get Into the county bastlle, a strange bailiff passed and threw his sleuth like gaze Into the face of the patient ex- Juror. "Take me," cried Brooks.

"Ha! ba!" cried the bailiff. Introductions followed and Brooks had the genuine satisfaction of gain ing admission as a prisoner to the county JalL He aays be wants to "take nis medicine."
