VOLUME XXXIV HOUSEMAN COMMENT THE PUGILISTS History of Boxing Game in Chicago Furnishes Curious Study of Steady Growth and Sudden Stoppages by Discontented Promoters. I0HN L. SULLIVAN DID MUCH TO HELP THE SPORT Chance of Reopening Boxing in the City Recalls the Fatal Bickerings of Other Days Milwaukee May Try It Again. BY I.Ol dow looks old fight M. HOIS KM AX.

very much as game, often kll'td It tood tever permanently tlain, would soon raise Its head once more within the sacred precincts of Chicago. Bay after lay Mayor Dunne and Chief Collins bav shown gradual softening of fe lings the sport of biff, and their expressions concerning pugilism during the last week-hav. been of the friendliest character. The Chicago Athletic association is now busy in the reparation of a card, and this means, of course, that as soon as the lake front-people jut on a show everybody who has or thinks te has a pull will rush forward and try to get permission to give a set of battles. The history of boxing In Chicago for the past twenty-five years would fill a most interesting volume.

Romance, excitement, and scandal would all And pages In the book, and there would have to be considerable space reserved for chapters jet to come. At the time when John L. Sullivan dawned upou the fistic sky boxing in Chicago was of a quaint and spasmodic character. There were fights with skin gloves, ever and anon, either in barns or basements, or held amid toe sand dunes. Where fifty pugilists make Chicago their borne today there would be perhaps one in those old times.

A few rough and ready heavy-weights, maddened sluggers lu the ring and fat, jovial lushrrs outside tbr arena, were the-dominant factors, and their Infrequent battles were of th ursine variety. Any old-timer who ever saw such a fray as -that between Bill Bracburn and the St. Jo Kid aw something which wiil never leave their memory. Those were not parlor boxing exhibitions those were fights in the grimmest import of the word. John L.

Sullivan in bis visits to Chicago gave new life and vigor to the game, and the public mills In which John contested were epochal events for this old town. Aside from these four round affairs In which John Charlie Mitchell, Jack Burke, and other heroes of the past took part, there was but little public boxing, and the fans who wnnted to see a mill had to resort to the sand ducts and the basements as of yore. -Along about the early 90s came public shows of tome magnitude, but of an entirely different character and quality from those of today. The fighting shows at McGurn's court, which might be called the cradle of local pugilism were running as far back as 1SS6, but the email aiie of the place made the retort but secondary when the larger shows began to boom. These shows seemed to sat-.

Isfy the people then. They would be bom-- carded with bricks and extinct felines now. In those days the promoters and the wind-up men got all the money. The same crowds ho had gone to see John L. Sullivan at Battery-' and the Driving park now flocked to see entertainments made up of three or four friendly aet-toa and a four round wind-up between two champions, who generally slapped each other on the wrist and then cut up the coin.

Imagine the fate of the manager who would atage that kind of a show today! No. longer will Chicago crowds stand for friendly set-tos or four round loafing matches as the finales. They must have bouts of ferocious all thi way no exhibitions, nothing but the real biff and bang. Incidentally, benefit were the real cheese, as the verbiage goes. In those days, and big crowds use-! to turn out whenever any worn-out warrior needed ready change.

Nowadays nobody will go to a benefit If he can help himself, and all the testimonials In recent years have been hideous frosts. Aa bisory dragged along the styl of en- tertainment grew warmer and warmer. The friendly set-to feature was cut out by degrees, and the cluhs began to give bouts of graded quality first preliminaries, second prelims, third prelims, semi-finals, and wlnd-ups. Thus the game progressed until, early In the rttgn of the second Harrison, It at- talned Its highest stage-when Tattenalla was open, and the kingpin stars of the ring did battl for heavy money. Then came on of the biggest and hardest shut-downs the sport has ever experienced, and for the last four seasons It has been working itself back to a high plane, with repeated frosts and closures to contend with.

The shut-down, or Jamming of the fighting lid, has been a regular and recurrent feature of the game. It comes whenever there it ring disaster as, for instance, the night when BHly Brennan died while fighting Frank Garrard at Battery and there is always a shut-down when anybody seems to be making money and those who don't make It can send np a walL. Just bow the game is apparently about to blossom after another shut-down. How will the blooming be? How will the sport he conducted! Will a modicum of common sense govern the promoters, or wilt tbey go through the same old round of fights and bickerings till the ax falls on their vertebrae? It Is aaid bow true, of course, no man can tell that the same North Side men who had the boxing privilege early In the Ilarrlsonlan TWO SCENES IN THE kl- yr f-j ml inri TV Zj Is?" 3' J-- 1 tfl5i: swim I' wr, C' r' 5 1 LET' D'lflP fe -'-rC AT HILT ThWauAererj CltA.btaxre?

Only the future can tell how things wiil really be. Boxing Is about to reopen in Milwaukee unless Governor La Pollette. who is said to be very sore at certain Milwaukeeans shall put down his executive boof. The first 'winrf. up, set for next Friday, is to be between Hugo Kelly, the Chicago Italian, and Young Ma-honey of Racine.

Great pair of Irish these. Kelly was born in Florence and Mahoney in Prussia, and his right name la Otto Jung Kelly and Mahoney What a time when Kelly cries to his friends around the ring: "I gotta da man I beata da stuff' outa da fel while Mahoney says to his admirers: "Ac'h Louie, vatch me soak de schwelnkopf on de' koko!" Seriously speaking, the fight will be a beauty. Kelly's all-round quality and high class are now generally recognized, while this man Mahoney is one of the fiercest, toughest, and most destructive middle-weights the West has ever seen. A fight of Interest to Chlcagoans is set for Kalamazoo Oct. 12.

Kid Herman, who has been going at a great gait for many moons Is to meet that other tough and hardy Hebrew, Kid Goodman. These boys ought to put up one of the finest, most determined mills in many seasons. Herman is the cleverer, Goodman the more aggressive. Goodman knows nothing but fight and mix. Herman Is crafty, and can hit hard when needed.

On last year'a form the betting ought to be to 3 on Goodman, but Herman has been coming along so well of late that the odds will be prettly nearly even. The Brltt-Nelson fight pictures had their first local display Friday night and made a hit with the spectators. There have been many fight pictures, but none like these. The whole action of this terrific mill is shown from start to finish, and the beholders can form their own ideas and conclusions aa to how the fray was won and whether Brltt would have a chance if the men over meet again.

Special to The Inter Ocean. ANN ARBOR, Sept.

30. Patched up with substitutes and soft from lack of scrimmage work, Michigan scored almost at will against Ohio Wesleyan today, making a total of 65 points In forty minutes of play. Ohio Wesleyan. although heavy and scrappy, could not keep up the strain of watching Michigan's backs tear off runs of from forty to seventy yards with regularity and apparent ease. Yost's machine, while far from perfect, worked well.

The first touchdown was made In two minutes after a sixty yard run by Norcross, and touchdowns followed each other in quick succession, Tom Hammond, Dunlap Norcross, Rumney, Curtis, and Workman carrying the ball. The last half was a repetition of the first. Barlow, sub quarter, playing brilliantly and running the team with a dash. On the strength of this, the first game, Yost's eleven looks to be fuly the equal of his four championship teams. The line-up: Michigan (5.

BY SCORE OF 15 TO 0 Wabash Team Puts Up Strong Defense and Midway Players Fumble the Ball Continuously Eck-ersall Star, as Usual. It was not Hugo Bezdck's fault that the Maroons defeated the Wabash college team by the score of 15 to 0 yesterday.

The husky little full back did nearly everything he could to prevent his team from scoring. On six distinct occasions he fumbled and allowed a Wabash man to fall on the ball. Twice he did the trick when the Maroons were not more than ten yards from the Wabash goal, and when It appeared impossible to miss a score, but Bezdek proved otherwise by dropping the ball. In Bezdek's defense it may be said that Trainer Conibear had thrown water on Hugo's jersey, and this, combined with the slight rain, made the ball hard to handle. In the second half, however, a dry Jersey was substituted, and the rain stopped, but Hugo continued on bis fumbling way without interruption.

Visitors Prove st Snrprlse. Besides the fumbling, the score was kept down by the clever defense of the visitors. The stories of their gameness and ability that preceded their coming were not exaggerated in the slightest. Tbey played a plucky game against a far heavier team that knew more football than tbey did. Stagg kept his best backs in throughout the entire game.

De Tray being the only regular taken out -on account of an injury. Leo hurt hla shoulder early in the first half and was replaced by Harper, who later gave way to Ivlson. Bezdek and Walker were able to gain consistently against the lighter Indiana men. but whenever they were near a score Bezdek would balk and drop the ball. Only one touchdown was scored by straight, bard football, and that was after fifteen minutes of play in the first half.

Bezdek, by some miraculous power, was able to hold the ball until he got safely across the line. I The second score was made by Harper Just after the kick-off the second half. Bade-noch kicked off to Miller on Wabash's five yard line and Miller came back ten yards. In two attempts to advance the ball the Hoosiers lost fifteen yards and Spalding dropped back for a punt. The Maroon forwards tore several large holes in the Wabash line and Harper went through, blocked the kick, picked up the ball, and went over the line for a touchdown.

Walker kicked goal. Ecltersall Make Last Score. The last score was made near the end of the second half, when Eckersall drop-kicked a goal from the twenty-three yard line. This was the little quarter's third attempt to score a goal from the field. The first try was made from the forty-five yard lint and fell short by a few feet, and the second had the required distance but not the proper direction, missing the bars by about three yards.

What Eckie may have lacked in the kick- (Continued on Page Column MAROONS Wl AT PARKSIDE YESTERDAY IN WHICH THE HONOR. ENGLISH PILGRIMS WIN FROM THE LOCAL SOCKER TEAM Score 6 Goals to Chicago's 0 at Wanderers Sullivan Distinguishes Himself in Goal Tea, Cakes, and Clean" Playing Prevail. In the best contested game ever played in the West, Captain Milnes and his Pilgrim socker football experts yesterday defeated Captain Benny Govier's All Chicago eleven at the Wanderers' grounds, six goals to nothing. Fifteen hundred ipectators crowded about the field during the progress of the ninety-minute struggle, braved the light drizzle that had no appreciable effect upon tho grounds or' players, and cheered the individual stars of both elevens. Chicago was given a decisive beating, but at no time were the locals disgraced.

Tbey made the Britishers earn their goals and incidentally brought from Sir Charles Klrkpatrick, the Baronet who kept the invaders' goal, some of the liveliest moves ever credited to the English sportsman. In the reserved section of the Wanderers' club balcony Lady Kirkpatrick was one of the most Interested of the spectators, and her gloved hands frequently beat a tattoo as a Chicago player distinguished himself. All Appland Sullivan. Especially liberal were the wife of the Baronet and her friends in applause for Pat Sullivan, the local man with the- eagle eye who saved at least six well shot efforts from becoming goals. Sullivan weighs 150 pounds, does not look as Imposing as Sir Charles behind the posts, but he emerged from the international competition a hero.

At the conclusion of the game Sir Charles proposed tbreee cheers for Chicago and a tiger for Sullivan, and the Britishers lustily stirred the echoes cf the Parkside grounds. Bearing out the reputation he had sustained in international conflicts at home. Vivian Woodward, the Pilgrims' center, gave the cleverest exhibition of socker play that the critics had ever seen. He shot two goals in the first half and one in the second half. Little James Brynlng, the 134 pound outside left, who made a lightning partner for Woodward, earned two other goals, while Inside Left A.

Coopland shot the sixth and final goal. First Mood for England was drawn in twenty-nine minutes after the kick-off, and six minutes later Woodward added another. Brysing'a two goals In the second half were ehot after fifteen and twenty-two minutes of play, respectively. Seven minutes later Woodward got his third' goal, and with thirteen minutes to play Coopland made the final score. The contest was remarkably free from roughness and fouls.

Penaltleswere inflicted upon both sides by Referee E. Milton, one of the visiting team, but were due more eagerness and anxiety than to any desire to trip an opponent or foul the ball. Praise From the Vletora. "It was the best game we have had on our tour." said Captain Milnes of the winning team, "and the cleanest one. Chicago put up a good fight, losing only because of the lack of combination.

Ir.dlvliual effort by the locals was bright and pleasing, and ir association football conld be exemplified here by such willing, heady, and efficient players th game soon would have the vegne It has at home." Sir Charles and his associates, true to their home inclinations, gulped cups of steaming hot tea between the halves and munched cakes. Fortified by their refreshment, they played tb? game so rapidly that the ball seemed to be tied to their feet. Play was begun at 3:45, England winning the toss and choosing the south goal to have the advantage of the brisk- wind. Chicago kicked off, and Chicago forwards showed timidity. Outside Right if E.

Ralne, who is said to bo "the coming man" in England, tried hard for a spectacular goal, but shot by. Dixon, the Chicago left back, got into a fine lay, tackling Coopland, the Pilgrims' Inside eft, beautifully. Right Half C. W. Storey WITH shot over, and Outside Left Bryning, by the most clever dodging and by great crlbbllng, centered the ball, but his try was -high.

J. Evans and Jimmy Watt of the locals then showed the Britishers some fine work, causing Sir Charles an anxious moment at the goal. But he fisted the ball away only to find himself again in close quarters because ot Left Back Dixon's brilliant play. The Chicago forwards did not settle. anJ soon Bryning had the ball again for another try, but he shot by.

Again England worked the ball to the center for a try, but 8. Oovier was so often la the way of the Britishers that the ball went to the side, making it extremely difficult for Coopland to essay his shot. After a foul by Watts, Ralne shot by, Evans made a distinct gain for his side, but Raine soon had the ball again, and. unchecked, dribbled for several yards and again shot by. Inside Right Fletcher headed a long one, a try that was too high.

Twice the Britons haJ corners, but Chicago rallied strong. The Britishers must have scored but for Sullivan's great save. Coopland shot by. and then Woodward worked the ball down for thirty yards by his individual efforts, shooting it true and fast for the goal. But Sullivan was there with a fine stop, falling down, but saving the goal.

Woodward Heads a Goal. Woodward and Raine worked together like the latter making a kick to Woodward from a corner, and the great center of the. visitors headed a goal, the first of the contest, Just twenty-nine minutes from the sound of the opening whistle. Woodward Is tall and heading a goal seems to require little effort from him. He headed many of the forty-eight goals made by the Pilgrims on their tour before coming here.

Tbe second goal came like a Bash when Woodward, Fletcher, and Coopland by clever dribbling had a clear pis- in the goal mouth. Woodward, shooting goal." "A---. minutes later Sullivan again saved the day for Chicago by a brilliant stop. The unsettled work of Chicago disappeared In the opening of tbe second half, S. Govier, Morris, and Watts showing decided improvement.

Sir Charles was called upon at tho Jump to save a goal and he fisted one of Morris' hard shots away. Chicago's attack became fast and furious, Shell Govier again shining brilliantly. Chicago was in England's territory for several minutes, and Morris. Rogers, and the Govier brothers were factors in all the play. Fletcher passed to Woodward, who flashed the ball for the center of the goal so fact that Sullivan made the star play of the game.

No one but an expert could have stopped that goal. Bryn-ing'o goal a bit later was a wonderful bit of playing, in which be broke through, dribbling down the center, with Dixon and Rogers trying desperately all the way to check. Fletcher came in with the ball across the goal mouth, Bryning rushing and shooting a goal that a dozen Sullivans could not have saved after twenty-two minutes of play. Coopland, by a long shot of thirty yards, got the final goal, Sullivan being unable to stop the ball. Fletcher tried a moment later, but Suntvan was there with a fine save.

Just as Chicago failed to make use of a corner off Milnes the whistle sounded. The line-up: Kngland Chlcsgu G). 6lr C. Klrkpat rick F. H.

FINALE FOR THE QUAKER COMES IN THE SEVENTH Isbell, Davis, and Green Bring In the Necessary Two Runs Don-ohue Robbed of Home Run by Telegraph Pole and Umpire. BY I H.

Hit KFOIIII. Special Dispatch to The Inter (Jf.an, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30. Well, the, Sox did It finally, 4 to il, and are now hot after the pennsnt. Daniel Green, the Little Unexpected from Camden, N.

passed Friday night at tho old homestead where he was born instead of Joining his fellow White Sox at their hotel. That was one reason, as the result was that Daniel was up bright and early to catch a morning boat- for Philadelphia. He had slept on one of mother's feather beds and was in fine fettle, stepping high as he entered Columbia park this afternoon in the blue uniform affected by the wonders from the Chicago South Side when on tour. Danny's team-mates bad not yet arrived via tbe old bus. and when the Little Unexpected came on the field alone he was forced, to pass in review before the 25,000 spectators already assembled.

Possibly thinking that Danny was all that was left of tho White Sox after the hideous massacre cf Friday, the multitude arcse aDd gave him a reception that would thrill Henry Irving on. a positively farewell appearance. Danny took the honors modestly and went in among -the Athletics to practice until his teammates arrived. Every Utile Bit Helped. Now, this early coming, and mother's-feather bed, and the tumultuous reception were auguries for good.

Danny was stimulated. He was. In fact, thoroughly wide awake, and when. In the first inning, he saw-James John Callahan lingering sadly on third with two out. be hitched his looked back at O'Laughlin.

the man who so often forces Danny to strike out, and dandy single out toward second, scoring Ms -old comrade and manager. Before this hap- pened, George Davis had been brought in by Donohue. so that Danny's single gave Chi-'. cago the second of her two runs in the first inniofs. Going some? Yes.

but consider tbe seventh Inning, wherein Daniel Green won the game for the White Sox. After the Sox had scored twice they were blanked by Mr. Plank for a run, although they had plenty of oppor- tunities to score had tbey been willing when, hits meant something. In the eventful seventh Jones struck out. Isbell sneaked a little single over secoci and George Davis doubled to right.

Then Callahan sent a screamer out towarl first, but Harry Davis pulled It down. Plarik looked at Donohue and then passed him. So here we were again. The old familiar slory, three men on bases, two out. and Danny Green at bat.

How often has this situation confronted tfa South Side fans at critical moments and how often has the fan offered to bet his neighbor that Danny would sweep the air? Philadelphia fandom, too. was onto Little Unexpected and sat back prepared to shout. Rat t. Fooled Is. Danny hitched, looked again at O'Lnugh-lin.

surveyed the crowd that had given him glad acclaim, and then soaked the first one over into the right field crowd for two bases. HaDpy day. Isbell and Davis scored and Sullivan left Danny anchored on second when Murphy threw him out to Davis. But the day was won. Tonight Daniel Green again sleeps oa nother's feather bed at Camden and wi11reJ join the Sox in Washington Monday.

May he rest peacefully. Daniel's spectacular hatting deserves attention firs! of all. for reasons that are best known at Thirty-Xinth street. Otherwise the credit must go to Frank Owen for as nervy an exhibition of pitching as was ever seen. The YpHlanti Adonis waa as cool as a cake of ice all the way through.

Although hit ten times in a tight game, he never faltered, and made a ninth inning finirh that would have sent a South Side crowd home shrieking his praise. For 4n this Inning, when but one run was needed to tie up tbe game, the soldier boy from Michigan completed his day's work by fanning Knight and Hartsel in succession after Shreck had made a two base hit. Monte Crors having been', previously disposed of. Owen Prorea His Mettle. It was a game, and for as garner a pitcher as ever faced crowd In a hostile town.

Bchreck's two bagger In the ninth looked mighty fine, and wh-n he reached second Hoffman waa sent out to run for him. Then Knight went to bat for Plank and the crowd set up a shout: "Owen's in tbe air!" while sleigh bells were Jangled, horns looted; and all sorts of Jimcracklng noise making devices set in motion. Knight swung at three that were sent over heart of the plate and Hartsel hit eager-ly'lK lhree others, so that, after all. Mr. Hoffman Tuun4.it unnecessary to sprint.

Fhiiadelphla's'irr-te-runs came In the first, second, and eighth innings. In the first Hartsel poked a two baggerinto the left field crowd and scored on Lord's single to right. Lord then bit into a double play and Tanne-hlll threw Lave Cross out to Donohue, a splendid stop and recovery. Murphy made a home run for the Athletira in the second over the left field fence with nobody on bases. It was a questionable home run and it appeared that it hit Into the crowd and that somebody threw It over the fence.

Jones came in to kick about it, and there was a threatened riot. But tho White Sockers were finally soothed. There was some ground for complaint, anyway, as In tbe first Inning Donohue had hit the ball over the fence, where it struck a trolley pole outside and bounced back. Tbe ball was not handled and Donohue made a claim of a run, but the umpire insisted that It came under the ground rules for a two base hit only. Cal la the Kaenoy's Canal ry In the eighth Inning Lord hit to center for two bases and got to third on a long fly by Harry Davis to This was a great catch for Cal.

as he was forced to run into the crowd and step on the faces of the bos-tiles while he reached for the ball. Tbe hostlles also hit him on the legs and were otherwise unkind. Lave Cross' out. Isbell to Donohue, scored Lord, and Seybold bad the crowd shouting when he singled to center. But Home Run Murphy here stopped the proceedings by a fly to Donohue, which Jigger traveled a hundred yards to get under.

On form. Owen had all the better of Plank. Ha gave no bases on balls and did some eleo I.
