v. i. VOLUME XXXI V. THE PUGILISTS Initial Lifting of the Local Lid by the Chicago Athletic Association Welcomed by All Admirers of the Fistic Art. DEARTH OF GOOD WIND-UP MATERIAL AROUND CHICAGO Meeting Between Kid Herman and Benny Yanger Likely to Be a Leading Event Shortly Restriction of Fight Clubs Will Be Hard.

BY I.UC yt. HOI'S A As wan generally expected during 'he past few weeks, the lid was lifted a few days ago and local boxing again takes Its place In the list of unlntcrdicled sports. There la. of lourse. the usual pratt le concerning "limiting the cluos." and "Just- one big show on each side of town," and Is as far as It will ever get.

Boxing, at least in Chicago, is a game that is impossible to limit. It is utterly impossible to restrict the permits to a favored f-w, for the interests and the pulls ar so many and so divergent that the first attempt at monopoly 'will mean a crash which will kill the game. The only method which Is applicable in a city like Chicago Is to trust to tbe old doctrine of the survival of the finest. If a man I shrewd enough, when the aveuues are open for bis debut in the fame, to land a good location, get good talent, and keep faith wtsh the people, his sue jess Is certain, If he has a poorly located place, geis inferior fighters, and cheats the populace, it is just as certain that he will locti be on his uppers. As usual, I he Chicago Athletic association led the way, and the announcement of its first show came out fully two weeks before any one really' expected the resumption of the game.

It Is said thitt Corpcrattcn Counsel Lewis, when given the text of the Illinois anti-boxing law for study, came forth, and averred that the law was grossly unconstitutional. Good lawyers by scores have said the same thing for years, and there is no question, on the the returns, but that the law Is bursqje and a farce. It makes Itself legislation and practically inoperative v.hen it prescribes an infinitely heavier penalty for slapping a friend with a padded glove than for beating an enemy half tc death with fists and feet. That law. In all its details, was enacted at a time hen such a s-iatuie as really proper, as covering a gross evil.

In those days the fighting wes to a finish with bare knuckles, and a fclove fight meant a furious strug gle with skintight band coverings. Those tattle were full of blood and brutality, and the anti-boxing statute was meant to do way tin both the bush ilh the raw uns and the thinly veiled "glove contest" with skintight mittens. It It a certainty that co reputable boxer today would engage In or even sanction a bare knuckle fracas of the old time style. The boxer is after he has rectived his bard knocks of preliminary days ra cool, calm, well behaved yojcg business man, who frpars for the tuooey in tight and neiib.tr seeks r.or wishes any brutality in his performances. Opponents of the boxing cannot understand the utter lack of animus and hostility which prevails among fighting pugilists.

The enemy the game imagines that the boys are figbt- log In spirit as well as with the mittens, and that the contest therefore on the order of the street fight or roigbhouse tussle in a barroom. If the bater of the fistic game could only visit the fighters dressing-rooms after the fray bis eyes would be widely opened. He wouid see the boys who were pouncing each other a few moments before engaged in rubbing each other down, handshaking, laugh-lug, slapping each other on the back, and In general giving every evidence of sincere friendship and rgard. Thre have been Racy Instances where youcg men who first met 1b the ring became Inseparable, comrades after (be battle, and the cases where two fighters have become enemies are so rare as to be almost out of memory. It would not burt the opponents of the boxing game to take a good look at the Nel-scn-Brlit fight pictures.

These pict jres give an absolutely 'faithful portrayal of a battle which is conceded to have been one of the fiercest, fastest, and most determined com- bats of the age. It Is known and admitted that Nelson and Brltt fought like roadmen, and that tbey slugged and slammed from tart to finish. What, therefore, do the pictures show? A cross between football scrimmage and bull fight? Tbey show two strong, sinewy young men, in tbe full flush of youthful vigor, battling gamely and fairly, but battling with padded band and blows which leave less injury from the eighteen furious rounds than one rush on the football gridiron generally causes. At tbe finish the dazed, defeated Britt Is carried away in what condition? Down and out yee but with uninjured features, strength unimpaired, and in such shape that any spectator ran de t-larc: "A bath and a rub-down that's all be Wind-ups which will draw tbe money are what the Chicago promoters and also those of Milwaukee and Detroit are scheming for these days. It Is a surprising but actual fact that tbe supply of wind-up timber Is sadly limited nowadays.

Young Corbett and Eddie Hanlon have felt the sting of defeat too often, and people would not go to see them. There are no heavy-weights who would draw a house in Chicago outside jit Root.

Sie'ittl to The Inter k-ean.

NEW YORK. Oct. 7. Tbe Columbia-Wesleyan football game this afternoon at tbe American League park was marred by onu of tbe most disgraceful breaks of ruffianism ever seen on a football fielj in this city. After an atrocious piece of brutality by Right Halfback Bailey of Wesleyan.

in jumping feet first on tbe back of Armstrong I of Columbia, the two teams got in a general I mlr.nn Ve(t)ir cirio ftf.nr&H i The officials could have handled the situation and wero rapidly pulling the men apart, when Coach Morley of Columbia rushed at Bailey, shoved him behind the goai posts and 8-truck him a terrific blow between the eyes. Bailey fell back in the arms of one of his team mates, the blood spurting frara his face. The Morley act started the" fight all over again. The players, substitutes, and officials all rushed at one another, anSTi battle royal was soon in progress. Such punching has never been seen on a football grounds In tbe Kast before.

Colombia Tackle Lays Three Oat. Von Salz. the big Columbia tackle, laid out three men in succession and finally went down himself. Three policemen who got mixed in the fracas looked as though they had been hit by a cyclone when they emerged. Ross McCIave of Princeton, the umpire, got a bump in the ear that made his head spin, ttnd Bosey Relter, the Wesleyan coach, got a jolt In the stomach that took his breath away.

Reiter is the one man In the fracas who comes out with any glory. The minute he appreciated the seriousness of the situation. PENN WINS FREE FIGHT, Ited and Mine Defeats Swarthiuorc 11 lol la Ilosgb Game, Special Diapatch to The Inter Ocean. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.

In a game that was almost a rough and tumble fight, the University of Pennsylvania today defeated Swarlhraore by the scbre of 11 to 4. In the first half the tight: was so close and furious that neither side could score, and the faces of the players were constantly covered with blood. In the second half, however, both sides succeeded In scoring. Perm scored two touchdowns, but failed to kick one goal, making eleven points. Just before time was called In the second half Crowell of Swarth-mere drop-kicked a goal from tbe field.

He got some of them to quit, but it was not until fifteen policemen charged the confused mass that it was disintegrated. Disgraceful as tlje affair was at the start, it would have been comparatively unimportant but for Morley's act. Bailey's act was tbe limit of cowardice, but Morley gave football a black eye when he renewed the row by bitting a player.

Morley's one excuse is that, having shoved Bailey back of the goal post, bad a right to deal with him as he saw fit. SlnKsjIasr Match From Start. There had been a lot of slugging in the game before the big outbreak. In the center of the field Armstrong took the ball for Columbia, and on tbe delayed pass got through I be Wesleyan line. He was forced out of bounds, but kept right cn running, although the whistle bad blown.

Reiter, Wesleyan 's right end, went down the field and got Armstrong on the ten yard line, and then Bailey shot out of the Wesleyan bunch, ran down the field at top speed and. jumping In the air, landed In the middle of Armstrong's back. A howl of Indignation went up from all sides. Columbia's men rushed after Bailey, and tbe Wesleyan men went after the Columbia men. Bailey protested that be had not meant to injure Armstrong, but no one would listen to him.

It was biff, bang, biff all over tbe field, with tho spectators yelling excitedly. Then, just as tbe situation was clarifying, Morley came along and started it ail over again. WABASH TEAM GIVES PURPLE HARD FIGHT Northwestern Eleven Is Able to Make but Single Touchdown Against Indiana Aggregation Johnson Fails to Heel Kick-Out. Tbatfighling littie Hoosier eleven, Wabash, put another "big nine" team through two strenuous sessions of football yesterday afternoon, holding Northwestern down to one touchdown, the score board registering 5 to 0. The Purple warriors, fagged and astonished, filed off the field endeavoring to figure out bow a team could play tbree heavy 'varsity teams from Saturday to Saturday, with an apparently undiminished amount of fight left for the third.

Northwestern did not make a good showing yesterday, and the result of the game was a disappointment to Coach McCornack, who thought bis team was further advanced along the good team work route. Wabash fought for every inch of ground, and as defensive players they are well trained, but Evanaton rooters, allow ing tor that, were anything but elated at the showing Many penalties and fumbles were responsible for the low score in part, but with the exception of a few formations the work of the Purple backs could scarcely be characterized as machinelike, and large and consistent gains through tbe Hoosiers' racks were chiefly Conspicuous through absence. Hoebar- 1'Inya baud (iaraf. The Northwestern line just about held its own, both lints of forwards charging slowly. DAN PA TCH BE A TS HIS OWN WORLD'S RECORD FOR MILE King of Pacers Thrills Huge Crowd at Lexington by Clipping Mark Three-Fourths of a Second Time, 1:55 1-4.

LEXINGTON. Oct. 7. Dan Patch, king of pacers, today clipped three-quarters of a second from his ow4i. the world's record, negotiating the mile in Savage tonight confirmed the report that a New York syndicate.nad offered him for Dan Patch, who today paced a mile in the record breaking time of 1 :654.

Savage said that he had wiced the syndicate that an offer of J500.000 Vould not tempt him to part with the champion. A crowd of 10,000 was already in a high ftate of enthusiasm over the smashing of the 1905 race record and the world's three beat record successively, and when Dan Patch's time was hung out excitement approached frenzy. Cheering people threw bats and wraps in the air and swarmed Into the track despite the efforts of policemen, the ovation continuing several minutes. The great son of Joe Patchen and Zeilika appeared for his trial nt 4 o'clock. The track was lightning fact and there was no wind, and the weather conditions were ideal.

Scott Hudson was behind the pacemaker. A strip of cloth between the wheels of the forward sulky, to prevent dirt being thrown behind, was tbe only suggestion of a wind shield. Hersey was behind Dan Patch. The books offered 4 to 5 either way on the result of the effort. There were cheers when was hung but for the first quarter.

Dan Patch's nose was almost against Hudson's coat, and the crowd began vnlnly yelling to Hudson to move up. Hope was stimulated when was posted for tbe half. Excitement became intense when the three-quarters was passed in and tbe spectators began shouting encouragement to the drivers. lilts Stretch Siren-. Into the stretch, the great pacer still keeping bis even, seemingly effortless stride, the runner at his sulky wheel began to crawl up.

Hudson gave a P.ttle more rein, but Her-sey sat like a statue, not urging bis charge with whip or word. Dan Patch made no last supreme effort. He just finished the mile as he had begun it. He bad scarcely broken into a sweat when led back to receive the plaudits of the crowd. M.

W. Savage, bis owner, had tbe announcer publicly thank Hudson for bis work as pacemaker. He also announced that Dan Captain Rueber, Turner, and Johnson did tbe best work for Northwestern, Rueber especially showing strength on cross-bucks. Barry at full back hits the line hard and is a great addition to McCornack's back field candidates. I Half Back Spalding, captain of tbe visiting eleven, was the best ground gainer for Wabash when tle Hoosiers bad possession Of the ball, which was not often, as they were able to gain consistently but seldom.

As fighters to the last ditch, however, the Wabash men sre well qualified to give pointers to any aggregation in the West. They are ever following the ball and contesting fiercely every inch of the way. In the first half they held Northwestern for downs when the Purples were within ten yards of their goal line. Referee Chasges Deelaloa. An occurrence seldom witnessed on a football field marked the second half just before time was called.

Northwestern bad the ball and working toward a touchdown, but fumbled on the ten yard line. Several players sprang for the ball and Referee Sbeehan awarded the oval to Northwestern, but changed hi decision a moment later, when tbe Wabash team, disgusted at the. decision, threatened to leave tbe field. Judging by the complacent manner in which the Purples took the reversed decision his first ruling must have had some degrees of badness. The visitors were on the defensive throughout the first half, but more than half of the first period had passed before tbe Purples were able to score.

After several penalties had delayed the score. Northwestern securing the ball on the visitors' fifty yard line, started on a march down the field, Rueber, Barry, and Van Ryper alternating on bucks off tackle and poshed Barry over the Una at the extreme right end for a touchdown. Turner punted out to Johnson, but tbe kick was a poor one and the Indian failed to heel it. Several changes were made ia tbe Purple WITH -J Patch Wednesday would be nt against the record of l.ti'Jht, made without a bust shield. The three fastest heats ever paced marked the .2:04 event, and the average time' for the total heats of the day was the fastest on record.

In the initial beat of the 2:04 pace Hazel Patch gave the Lexington track the 1905 race record of 2:02. The next heat was won by Locanda In 2:02 flat. He likewise claimed the third heat la 2:04. The three finishes were pronounced the most hesrt-break'cg seen this year. Nathan Strauss, the favorite throughout the pooling, though fleids sold at from 60 to 50 to 50 to 30.

MAROONS ROLL UP GOOD SCORE Oil HAWKEYE TEAM Iowa Men Prove to Be a Disappoint- ment and Coach Stagg's Football Primer Class Easily Scores 7 Touchdowns, Making 42 Points. CHICAGO SHOWS IMPROVED FORM OVER LAST WEEK Harper and Bubbles Hill Shine as the Bright Stars for the Local Team Big Ed Parry Does Well at Left End.

In tbe first game of tbe season betweea members of the "Big Nine," Chicago defeated Iowa by the score of 42 to 0. This ia the largest score that the Maroons bave made tbis season, but their work was by no means satisfactory to Coacn Btagg. Tbe large score was not the result of any great strength on the part of the Chicago team, but was due more to the weakness of the men from the Hawkeye state. After the first ten minutes of play the Iowa men appeared to lose their grip end the game became a procession up and down tbe field for tbe Maroons. The first half was productive of six touchdowns, from which Parry kicked six goals, making tbe score 3 in the thirty minutes of play.

The second half brought out only one touchdown for Stagg's men. This fact waa due to two reasons the unexpected brace of the Hawkeyes and the short t.me of play, the half being shortened to fifteen minutes at the request Qf Coach Chalmers of the visitors. After the Maroons had scored a touchdown In the second period tbe men from across the Mississippi awakened and for a few minutes caused some apprehension among tbe Chicago rooters. For a time It appeared extremely probable that Iowa would score. They gained rather steadily, and the Maroon team, with several subs in the line-up, weakened a bit.

There' were really no grounds for any apprehension on this score, as the Maroons soon steadied and protected their goal. The nearest the Hawkeyes came to scoring waa when It was the Maroons' ball on Chicago's twenty yard line. While the Chicago men did not play In championship form, there was a marked Improvement in their work over that of the last two games. They showed that the elements of team play were gradually being Impressed on their somewhat opaque bralna. Tbey pushed and pulled with a royal good' will, every man in the team doing his best to help tbe man with the ball.

Harper la Kentnre of Ganae. Tbe feature of the game was the work of Jesse Harper, captain of the 1W5 baseball team. Harper had never done murb work at football until this year, but as soon as he donned a suit his work caught the eye of Coach Stagg, and the coach took special pains to teach the baseball man the rudiments of the Staggian system, with tbe result that yesteraar Harper played tbree different positions with the ease and skill of a veteran." Harper started the game at left half, and from this position be gained consistently, making tbree touchdowns before he was shifted to end. taking Parry' place when the big man was removed on account of an Injury to his bad foot. At end Harper played well, going down under punts and of ten nailing the man In his tracks.

Besides Harper. Bubbhs Hill starred throughout the game and undoubtedly played tbe best game of bis career. He was in every play, pushing and pulling and helping the man with the ball. On the defensive he proved to be a stone wall and not an was gained through his position. 4'allln la Game.

An interesting time was had when Coach Sugg sent Larson in to take Cutlin's place after the captain had been injured. Catlin refused to yield bis place to a sub end did not want to admit that the Hawkeyes had forced him to retire. Finally, after Larson waited for a few minutes and Stagg sent repeated messages to Catlin, the Maroon captain walked off the field. Walker played his usual steady and accurate game, while Hitchcock proved to be a star ground gainer in the second half. Bex-dek was there the greater part of the time, but on occasions he was found wanting.

Coach Phil King of Wisconsin, was an interested spectator. King did not avail himself of the privilege of going onto the side, lines, but watchsd the proceedings from a seat in the west bleachers. Just what King thought of the Maroons he would not say, and bis sphinxlike face betrayed nothing. When Eckersall was taken out in the second half Harper was shifted again, this time to quarter. At this position be was not as good as be was In the others, fumoung orten ana not passing accurately.

The Interest of the rooters was centered in the work of big Ed Parry at left end. The Oskaloosa man was a great success on the offensive, but on the defensive bis showing, was not so good, although he blocked a punt and scored the first touchdown on tbe play. From the end position Parry was given many chances to show his ability at helping the man with the balL He was in every play and several times was material in adding two or three yards after the runner bad been tackled. Hawkeyes Fall Miserably. The poor showing of the Iowa men was a disappointment to the large crowd that bad come out with expectation of seeing a first class exhibition of football.

For the first ten minutes they played a bard and fierce game, and forced the Maroons to punt twice in that time. Then they suddenly went to pieces and weakened in every department of the game, and in thrs condition they re-' mained until after the second half was well under way. They were not in the best physlclal condition, and perhaps this may account for the apparent let up in their playing. Time after time they were laid out, and many of tbem were forced to leave the game completely done up. When the Iowa men trotted out on the field just before the appearance of the Chicago-men.

a murmur of surprise went up from the stands. Tbe Hawkeye eleven was a formidable appearing aggregation, and Chicago supporters looked rather doubtfully at the husky bunch. Several of the line men weighed close to 200 pounds, and all the backs appeared to be fast and stocky. This impression remained until they lined up for a short signal practice, and then it was partially swept away when the crowd saw bow haltingly and slowly tbe men got into the plays. Captain MacCowao appeared to be the best man on the team, and there was little doubt of tbis fact after tbe game was finished.

The first touchdown came after four minutes of play. Catlin won tbe toss and chose the south goal. Kent kicked off foi Iowa, but there was a man offside, and be waa.
