'A VOLUME XXXI. CHICAGO, SUNDAY JIOBNIXG, OCTOBER 1902. XiniBEIi 202. LOU HOUSEMAN'S TALK OF BOXERS i PURDUE 33 TO 0 A. i tm i i' i.

iH 7- Walcott Adds Another to His Long List of Fakes. Hoosier Teara Shows Up Remarkably Weak and Is Easy. fTxw h': MAROONS BEA LITTLE BLACK' QUITS Dubuque Prepares for Big Crowds at Carnival. 1 Two MkI of BoxtaK I Iow Tows, Wfdiriair and Thanday-Broad mud Baddy lt)an. If a committee of any old number warn to constitute Itself Into a vigilance brigade.

take Mr. Joe Walcott down to the lake, tie an anchor about his short neck, and dump him In, the sports of Chicago and of the L'nMed States would commend the Walcotfs fight with Frank Childs last Thursday night was about as raw a bit of faking as that black from Barbadoes ever Indulged in, and he has been mixed up In a few. Up to the point where Childs began to go to Walcott's body, Joe fought well That Is to say, he came back at his man and fought as well as his handicap In statnre and weight would permit. But the moment Childs began to pepper his man's Titals Walcott sent up a claim of "Injured arm." It was an arrant act of cowardice, and the. decision of Slier, "no contest, applied only in part.

Childs fought honestly enough, so far as his actions in the ring went, and should have been given his full" meed of credit. Calling the affair "no contest" assails alike the Integrity of both men, sine it makes both of them parties to a dishonest bout. There was nothing in the battle to Indicate that Childs did not fight honestly. Oa the contrary, he was doing all the effective work, and when Walcott showed signs of weakening Childs twitted him about It, and advised him not to quit. True, Child? suffers no financial loss by the but his record Is besmirched, and unjustly so.

I believe that had Slier given the matter more mature thought he would have declare It no contest only as to Walcott, declared al! bets off, and given the decision to Childs. It Is now time to bar this fellow Walcott In every club in the He came on from Philadelphia with a cry of "fake" in his to repeat here a performance once before indulged in by the same fellow against Dan Creedon. He faked it with Tommy West In New York twice, and was a factor In the annulment of the Horton box-lag law in New York state. He has hlp-podromed in California, where he laid down to George Gardner, at a time when both Gardner and Walcott were under the management of one and the same man. Walcott has been a menace to boxing in every community that ever tolerated him.

He can fight; and fight well, but the people who have been handling the black would go further to steal a dollar than get two of them honestly. He fought Dan Creedon six slovenly rounds here to a draw, and -then, a week later, whipped the same man In Syracuse. In both instances he divided the money with but his backers pocketed the dishonest dollars bet on the outcome 'of the battles. Tommy West, after gaining two decisions over Walcott, finally-told the black after the Madison Square garden fake, in which, by the way, Walcott also "injured his arm." that he would never box him again. Dubuque is to have its big fistic carnival next Wednesday and Thursday nights, and rthe Iowa town Is making to handle immense throng of visitors.

The bouts scheduled are all evenly balanced, and some corking good mills- should ensue. There are to be about fifty rounds of milling each Bights and already the advance sale indicates that the attendance will equal that of three year On the opening night the main interest centers in Benny 'Yanger's boats. Tb unbeaten little feather-weight is to meet, and dispose of two men in ten rounds ear oa Wednesday night. Whether Moraa or-Rltter goes oa first with the Tipton Slasher will be determined by the toss of a coin. Between the two.

however, Yan-ger is to be given a rest while Harry Forbes, the world's bantam champion, takes on -Chick" Sullivan. Art Simms and Tim Kearas and Kid" Abe.I and Patsy Haley will be the stars of the second night, with enough preliminaries to string the night's milling out to satisfy the most ravenous fight gourmand. George Slier is to referee all the coatests. Cheap railway rates have beea made for the carnival, which is to be the feature of a big street fair. Maurice Herford, brother of Abraham Lincoln Herford, manager of Joe Cans and "Young Peter Jackson, is a comedian.

Maurice was here with "Young Peter" a week, ago Friday night, when Jackson met John Willie. It was one of the most sorry show-lags ever made here by a man of Jackson's reputation. The black was utterly helpless in front of Willie, and the local man made the stable mate of Gana look absolutely cheap. When Hogan gave the decision to Willie he did Just what every one of the thousand sports who witnessed the bout would have don. It was so one-sided that Herford himself could aot have given the decision to Jackson and escaped with his At no stage of the six tame rounds fought did Jackson have a look-in.

He was completely outboxed ia every round. In the face of this. Maurice Herford wired the Baltimore Sun one of the most horrible yarns ever shot into a newspaper office. Here it is in full: "Jackson was given another rough deal here tonight ia his bout with John Willie. Malachi Hogan was the referee.

When the men entered the ring Willie's manager said he wanted a draw if the men were on their feet at the I agreed to It, and to my surprise at the end of the elxth round Hogan gave Willie the decision. "Willie was thirty pounds heavier than a-. i- (This snap shot was taken during the Jackson, and when Jackson got to punching be ran to a clinch and held Jackson's arms. Young Peter did all the fighting and should have had the decision. The majority of the spectators thought Jackson should have had the decision.

He was after WlUe all the time. MAURICE J. HERFORD." If the sporting editor of the staid and usually accurate Sun does not cut off Herford as a fight correspondent fat least in contests involving his own stable) I will -be a surprised admirer of that paper. Young Corbett has been offered a $15,000 purse to fight Jimmy Brltt in San Francisco. Of course, the match will be a handicap affair, in which, probably.

Brltt will agree to stop the champion inside the limit to win. Brltt can take 133 pounds at the ringside, so bis friends claim. There is not such a big difference between the lightweight notch and 128 pounds at 3 o'clock, the weight favored by the champion. The pair would draw an enormous crowd on the coast, where Brltt is very strong as the fight-house magnet. Corbett has not yet accepted, but If he Is a fighter -for the money there Is in the game.

he sbonld. It does not seem likely that Marvin Hart and Jack Root will ever Hart has been offered all manner of inducement, but, adheres to his claim that the fight must be a draw if both men are on their feet at the end. of six rounds. To this Root will not agree. He will, however, agree to give Hart the big end of the money It be does not knock the Louisville man out In- six rounds, provided Hart makes 166 pounds at 8 o'clock on the day of! battle.

If Hart declines to make this weight, but Insists on catchweights. Root will only agree to meet him for a decision. Poor Jack Beauscholte! Even as a trial horse, the Frenchman appears to have run bis As big Han puts it, tjeauscnone nas been given his relesse and. will now have to seek other means of gaining a livelihood. Always willing, earnest while in action.

Beauscholte's main drawback' was lack of punching power. He bad a clever left hand, but could not withstand any serious at tack from any quarter. Rather a decent, gentlemanly sort of fellow Beauscbolte should find no trouble in securing some easier method of living then the rigorous one he has failed One of the best matches made In recent months here was closed the other day when "Parson" Davles signed "Kid" Broad to box Buddy Ryan here six rounds at. the next show of the Transport club. The boys are to meet at 128 pounds, weighing in at 3 o'clock.

Broad, an old stager, with a world of experience behind him, but with a liking for dis tance, will find Ryan one of the speediest propositions he ever faced in a six-round contest." Ryan is one of the best two-handed boxers the middle West has ever produced and should win. Broad will have to secure a knock-out in order to get the decision. In a longer fight, ay twenty rounds, the odds would favor Broad. -Jim Corbett Is putting in quite a bit of time ia the fine gymnasium of the Chicago Athletic club-on Michigan avenue," and when the big boxer is not behind the footlights in his monologue turn he can generally be found at work. Corbett is doing only the lighter soft of exerclsxog.

He has no set course which he follows, but tackles boxing. wrestling, and sprinting as his fancy wills. The Vapor City club of Hot Springs -wants the feather-weight championship fight between McGovern and "Young" Corbett. Now, you behave. The rusty carbines and blunderbusses of Arkansas have not been on parade since Governor Clark called out the state militia on the fight that failed be tween Fitzslmmons and Corbett half a dozen years ago.

GOING AROUND THE END. 7 first halt of yesterday's football game between RUSH HOLDS PURPLE TO ELEVEN POINTS Northwestern Held in Reserve for Chicago MEDICS1 LINE FIRM Superior Weight Makes Up for 1 Their Lack of Practiee, DonluviIIe and Ervia, the Ex-Hare Flayers, Aid the Doctor ia Kcep-lnaY the Score Dona, Northwestern scored 11 points on the heavy team from Rush Medical college yesterday at Eheppard field, in a listless and uninteresting game. The Purple team, at the instigation of Holllster. held Itself in reserve for the hard contest in store with Chicago next week, and was contented with holding the doctors safe. 1 Rash, although playing remarkably well, considering the fact that the eleven men who lined up against Northwestern had the benefit of only a few days' practice together, failed to prove dangerous at any stage of the game.

The halves were short fifteen and twenty minutes, respectively which accounts somewhat for the small totaL Superior weight and the assistance of Don-danville and Ervin. the ex-Maroons, both of whom played a strong game for Rush, caused trouble for the Northwestern men, crippled and shifted about as they were yesterday. If the Purple eleven hss made Improvement In their play since last Saturday's meeting with Irftke Forest it was not apparent yesterday. While the offensive aork revealed perhaps more smoothness and dash, the article of defense which Hollister'a team put up against the simple attacks directed mostjy against the line was not ao satisfactory as that of a week ago. Williams, In particular was a faulty spot the Purple line, permitting Ervin and Dondanville to plow through repeatedly for gains of two, three, and even five yards.

Bell, who was substituted for him In the second half, did not have much opportunity to show himself an Improvement at right guard. Kaala'a Lla Is Firs. The Purple Interference was repeatedly blocked by the Rush forwards breaking through, and Scott. Van Ryper. and Sherlock were occasionally thrown for a loss as a result.

Dondanville playing at right half put up a defense of that end of the Ruth line which cut off Van Ryper's skirting end runs almost before they were started. North--western falling to make the requisite ground on numerous occasions, was force punt, and Rush, with the services of Crvtn's good kicking leg, did not lose much In the exchanges. Before the end of the game many of the Northwestern regulars who started to play In spite of injuries were retired and other men took their Sherlock was hurt in a scrimmage, and Holllster, following his precautionary policy, substituted Blair. Williams gave way to Bell, and Scott was saved for next week, rv Northwestern played in hard luck early in the first half, and required twelve minutes to carry the ball acroes the Rush line. Van Ryper's long run of twenty-five yards a few minutes after Rush kicked off looked like the introduction to a big score, but Northwestern lost the ball on off-side play immediately after.

Ervin punted and the ball went back to the middle of the field. The Medics made their five yards once and then yielded to the Purple. Here Northwestern bungled things again, and another kick by Ervin sent the sphere into Purple territory. Tl-. Teadowa.

North Division defeated Englewood In the first of the decisive games of the High School league season at Rarenswood field yesterday afternoon by a scure of 12 to i. As defeat practically put the Englewood team out of the championship, the team fought hard during the last few minutes for victory or a tie, but were unable to advance the ball.

North Division made its two scores by hard line bucking, while the Englewood team got its only score on a fluke. Engle- wood's first score was made early in the first half on a fluke. Papik. the Englewood punter, dropped back to kick and got his ball away clear. It landed behind North Division's goal posts.

The North Division men. Ignorant of the rules, did not make any move to pick up the ball, and Papik ran down the field and fell on the ball, scoring a touchdown, and then, kicked goal. Captain Stefflns made North Division's score in the first half by a thirty-yard run. He kicked The half ended with the score to In the second period the North Division boya took a brace and outplayed their opponents. They received the ball oa the kick-off on their ten-yard line, and advanced the ball steadily down the field on mass plays and off-tackle.

The North Slders marched straight down the field and were not held for downs In a single Instance. With four yards to make a touchdown, the Englewood Tine held twice, but on the third attempt Ramey was pushed through for the score and victory. Stefflns kicked goal. The rest of the half North Division advanced the ball rather easily for a time, but were finally stopped in the center. Englewood started for North Division's goal line and was progressing well for a time, but North Division held cn its thlrty-flve-yard line and Kaese punted out of danger.

The half and game were called with the ball on Englewood' forty-yard line. The line-up: North Division. Atteridere Weinberger Torua Paupau Rholt Cowa-lll Ertckson Positron. Enslewood. Papik Dadenoch Capt.) Krwln CoKhlan Morris.

Illsk-Sckool Teaaia Flic let Hard Battle Score, IT to After fighting two twenty-flve-mlnute halves yesterday morning the West Division and English high school football teams had to be content with a tie score of 17 to 17. The contest was one of the hardest-fought contests the two schools have ever bad. Both teams were determined to win, as the season closed last year with the result In doubt, after two games hsd been played, both resulting In ties. English Jilgh made the first touchdown yesterday, and when West Division equaled the score by crossing the "boiler boys' goal line. This Continued until both sides' had made three touchdowns.

Then the contest was called. The West Slders had a narrow escape, however, as they made their final and tieing score Just a few seconds before the call of time. The contest was replete with long runs, and three touchdowns were made by long dashes down the field. Castlno started the acortng by receiving the ball on English high's ten-yard line. He then ran the length of the field for a score.

Dodd, for West Division, followed his example by running from the center for a touchdown, and the half ended with the score to la the second half the play was harder, and the gains were made by hard1 line playing, with an occasional long run.

LINE-UP SATURDAY Contest Between Purple and Maroon Likely to Be WUroaala Will Go to Callforala Dor-la- Cartstaaaa Holiday Harvard Llae Very Weak. Next Saturday on Marshall field Northwestern and Chicago will line up for their annual football game. The contest between the Purple and the Maroon Is always one of the most Interesting in this part of the country on account of the bitter rivalry between the two. This year it promises to do even more interesting than usual, aa the elevens will probably be pretty evenly matched. Until along toward the middle of last week-Northwestern was improving daily.

Then, just when the team began to show up in firat-clars shape, injuries put several of the best men on the hospital list. However, they will all be out and In good condition for the Chicago game, providing there are no further aocidents. In the matter of injuries the Chicago players have been particularly fortunate this year so far. Perhaps in no former season has Chicago had so few men laid up. This speaks well tor the physical condition of the men.

The material Northwestern has to work with 1s undoubtedly of much better caliber than that at the disposal of Stagg. As the season hss advanced this fact has become more and more evident. Holllster hss a lot of good men and if the team Is only lucky enough to escape being weakened by the loss of men on account of injuries it should pretty strong before Thanksgiving day. Coach Foster Ssoford has been assisting Holllster during the past week. Although the former's Ideas are contrary to Hollister'a regard to the defensive methods employed-by the Evanston eleven there will be no change -In the system at Northwestern this season.

It ia too Iste now for Coach Holllster to make any radical change fn the atyle play used by the Northwestern team, even ho wished to do so. Moreover, he does not wish to make the change in defensive tactics suggested by SanfOrd. Ia comparing the two teams Northwestern looks as if it will be the faster on Saturday next, unless "Chicago greatly Improves Its offensive The Marooos will have the advantage In weight, but this will not mean much without-a wonderful Improvement in ability to use it. One of Chicago's weakest points Is tn the matter of tackling. On the other hand.

Northwestern has some men who are excellent In this respect. This means that unless Chicago can greatly Increase Its speed and develop an interference that is strong. Northwestern Is apt to break up" the Maroon's plays before they get fairly started. Bo far as kicking Is concerned. Chicago will have the advantage In all probability.

This will isean a good deal. too. If the game as close a contest as It seems likely to be. Both teams will get plenty of work this week in preparation for the game. A number of the Northwestern players will have be nursed along considerably oh account their Injuries, however.

But Chicago will probably be put through all the practice the men can possibly stand. Coach Stagg has always been a believer in plenty of hard work for his squad, and the faet that many of his football players are weak to the rudiments the frame Is not likely to make him lessen the dally task of the eleven this week. The announcement comes from Madison that It Is practically certain Wisconsin will to tha Pacific coast thlr winter to play two games. The faculty has not definitely settled the matter yet, but Manager Kll-pstrlck has written a letter to the members and the question of a trip West will be finally decided at their next meeting. According to the plan Of the football management, the Badgers will make their Journey toward the setting sun during the Christmas holidays.

They expect to play Deland Stanford university on Christmas day, and on New Tear's day will line up against the eleven of the University of California. v- After the Thanksgiving dsy frame on Marshall field with the Maroons. Wisconsin will out of scttve training until a week or ten days before they leave for the West. Up that time the players will merely take light practice, running through signals, ktep their Interference and general teamwork In shape. A week or so before the eleven leaves for the West It will begin hard work again.

Wisconsin, by the way. Is Just at present having considerable hard luck. Several of tbe best men are laid up. and Coach King will probably have to be pretty careful with his squad this week, any way. The Mlchiran game Is still a cacd way off.

but as the riadg-en look forward to this as their tardest earns Purdue's left end. a a a 1 In th a i shows the weakness of Purdue's defense or the season, they will try to reach the top of their form by the time It Is played Nov. 1. Just what the betting on the game between he Wolverines and the Badgers will be is a question as yet. That there will be plenty of money wagered is beyond doubt.

It seems likely that the game will be the greatest betting event in Western football since the Chicago-Wisconsin oontest In 1899. On that occasion something like $20,000 was bet on the result. Wisconsin Is already demanding odds. Two hundred dollars of the Badgers' money wss sent up to Ann Arbor last week, with Instructions that It should be bet against $500. There were probably ao takers at these odds.

Michigan men would certainly be foolish to offer any such a price on the game at this time of the season. Undoubtedly Michigan will be favorite for the game with the Badgers. This, however. Is far from being an indication that the Wolverines will win. As a general thing In a football game between teams anywhere near tbe same claas.

It is a profitable rule to bet against odds of to 1 or better. What is the matter with Harvard? This Is the question that Is busy in the minds of men who support tbe Crimson, and it does not present Itself, as It Is often shouted on afoot- ball field; neither does the answer. all right." sound sa Us factory. In tact. Harvard seems to be all wrong.

Reports from the East say that the Harvard coaches are at a great disadvantage on ae count of the lack of material, especially for linemen. It would seem that, even If this Is the ease. Harvard ought to have men good enough to make a better showing than the team did against Amnerst recently. So fsr as numbers are concerned, tbe Harvard squad should certainly be all right, and, although lack of material would easily enough explain poor showing against an eleven of the same class, it is not a satisfactory explanation for weak game against a team of inferior class. As matters now stand, Yale looks to be far and away the strongest eleven In the East.

Princeton seems still to be something of an unknown Pennsylvania has showed up fairly welL With the games next Stturday an the elevens ought to be In good enough form to indicate what their best work msy be at the end of the seascn. Owing to the fact that Wisconsin and Michigan are generally acknowledged to be the best elevens In the West this year, there Is a general disposition to look forward to the game between these two. to be played the first of next month, as the great game In this section this year. It probably will be. but when two elevens are straining to reach their best form so early In the season they are apt to suffer a slump be fore turkey day.

it Is tnls chance that may give some of the other Western teams an opportunity to make a better showing against the Badgers snd the Wolverines In the wind- up games than they really ought to. -HYDE PARK MAKES A BIG TOTAL.

During tbe first part of the game the contest waa even, but in the second half the Evanston boys took the lead and plied up a comfortable score on their opponents. Simpson was the star of the Evanston team, and won the applause of the spectators by his numerous line bucks, which gained much of the ground made by the north shore eleven.

and this with alx minutes of the second half not played. The game was a surprise that Jarred the big crowd of Fooaler rooters that turned out to see their eleven plsy. They expected that Stagg" players would be shut out; they baa no doubt ot winning the game. Howerer, Purdue was never in It from the start. For a team so strongly touted as was th Indiana hunch It put up about as poor a game as one could wish to see.

It was not as strong either offensively or defensively as Knox, which played a week ago. AH th stories that have' come floating' into Chicago to the effect that Purdue was figuring on putting up a fight for the Western championship must have been written by humorists. Purdue could not win the championship of the third-class elevens in this part of the country. From the very first kick-off It was apparent that the home team was the better. Almost at once the Maroons showed that they could stop Purdue's much-boasted at- -tack.

When the Chicago men got tbe hall they showed they could gain ground. Chicago showed considerable improvement over Its work of Wednesdsy against Cornell, bnt at that the Maroons were not remarkably strong on offense. Purdue's line wss like paper, however, and this made Chicago's offensive work look of the whirlwind order. On defensive work the Maroons were far superior. It was not until the second half that the Hcoslers were able to make their distance.

The Maroons were not fast, but so slow was Purdue that Chicago seemed quick as lightning. i As soon as the game was well under way and Chicago tad showed that It could not only stop Purdue's offense, but could wade through the Hoosiers' fine as If there was nothing to stop It, there was no question of the result. Catltn, Perkins, Sheldcn, and Bezdek seldom failed to make gains, bo matter what play was tried. Ma rooms la Better Shape. So far as conditions went, th Maroon had a big advantage.

Purdue men began to be laM oat in the first half, and in the second time had to be taken out after nearly every play for some man on tbe visiting LHirtng the. game Purdue substituted five players. Chicago put in only three new men. Chicago's offense seemed a marvel because of Purdue's weakness. It was undoubtedly better than it ha been before this season, but at that th Maroons got away with a lot of plays they never would have gained oa against a strong eleven.

Purdue's defensive work was miserable. Again and again the end and half back on one side or the other would run round behind their own line. It was on account of this sort of work that Chicago was able so successfully to tend its Interference one way while the man with th ball went ihe other. The aggressiveness, so much talked about, was altogether lacking tn th play ot the Purdue eleven. Davidson was the only man who really seemed to- get through Chicago's line.

He played a good game all the time, but he got little backing. Three ot Chicago's six touchdowns were made on runs of over fifty yards. Twice one In the first half end once In therecopiJ Captain Sheldon got away from the bunch and sprinted over half the length ot the field for touchdowns. Perkins plugged through the line twice in the first period of play for scores. In the second half Besdek took Per kins' place and made two touchdowns.

Once he broke away from the scrimmage lice for a run of sixty yards to Purdue's goal, and later he went through the Use for a short gain and the final five points. Catlin showed up in great style, in tn first half especially. It was hie and Perkins bucks through the hurdles over the lin that were mainly responsible for the first couple of touchdowns. At the beginning or the second hair Bezaex replace a rertins. Echnur also put up a good game.

So slow were tne men that when they went through their signals before tbe game began the opinion was generally expressed that they were Just loafing along to aa to give no idea of their real speed.

However, when they got to work in the gam it was apparent that their preliminary practice had been carried along at top speed. When It came to the work or toe line men Chicago always had the better of It. The Maroons opened up big holes or DroKO through In nearly, every scrimmage. They ooked to have a big advantage in welgf.t ivrr their opponents, and certainly were ia much belter physical condition. Where tho Maroons ttowed tie crcatii.t.
