Thursday, January BUT FOR JERSEY LAW, WALKER WOULD NOW BE LIGHT-HEAVY CHAMPION WILLIE GOODWIN GAINS FULL LAP ON RAY DODGE IN MILE RELAY a Did You Know Thai By Feg Murray Mickey Gives McTigue WILL COMMISSION TRY TO COMPEL LEONARD TO BOX? Trouncing in One-Sided Bout in Newark Ring By V. g. IKE MeTIGLK or Ireland was luiky to win the light heavyweight wreck of chumplonshtp of the world from Murchison, Goodwin and Plant Turn in Noteworthy Feats at Finhislp Games GIXHtGETRKVOR. IN the Jubilation attending Paavo Nurml's marvelous exhibition of Indoor running some noteworthy performances by other athletes did not attract the attention they deserved at tho Finnish-American games.

Now that the hurrah has died down a bit, we can get a better perspective of whar was probably the greatest Indoor meet ever staged, No fault could be found with the quality of the athletes enguged or the snapjiy manner In which the events were un off, but the same cannot be Bald for the way the spectators were handled, or rather manhandled, i There was unwarranted confusion at all the entrances to the Garden, Incompetent gate keepers giving ttcketholders misleading information as to the proper portals to enter. As so often happens, the press seats were wretchedly mismanaged, Regular athletic reporters, who had given columns of publicity to the Finnish-American A. arrived at the Garden to find their aeats occsupled by strangers, it'i funny how many cloak and suit salesmen become newspaper men when sporting tickets are being handed a physical a fighting struck th-j toboggan of fame Battling after iwardlng a decision to Young draw, which enabled Mike to hold on At the Newark Armory last a crowd of 9,300 fans paid $43,500 to nee a fight, Mike did a dance de ventre. He was lucky that the New Jersey boxing laws do not permit a referee to give a decision." He was doubly lucky when the framers of that bill stipulated that 8-ounce gloves must be worn Instead of the C-ounce gloves used in bouts In New York State. But for those two enactments Mickey would, today, figuratively sneaking, be wearing two belts one emblematic of the welterweight championship of the world which he won from Jack Brltton and the other McTigue's light heavyweight title.

In addition to those pieces of good fortune Mike was lucky thut some Of the enraged patrons of the bout did not lay violent hands on him after the session was over. Some of them vented their fellngs by calling him all sorts of things from a "coward" to a "gold-charmer." Walker, despite the fact that he weighed only 149 pounds, while McTigue weighed 160; that he was handicapped by more than a head in height, out.

JOIE HAY, for years Amerfca's premier middle distance runner, lias turned In 54 vietorles in the mile run when the time was under 4 minutes nnd 20 seconds? Very few mllers ever reach -this time even once, and at a great many of the larger colleges and universities In the country the record for the mile Is away over 4:20. "Chesty Jole" will probably never realize his ambition of setting a new world's record In his favorite distance, but the eight-time national champion has certainly left a mark for consistency over a number of years that few will ever approach. No man ever propelled himself over a surface faster than Everett McGowan did last January, when he skated 100 yards In 4 1-5 seconds? McGowan set this record on Onota Lake at Pittsfleld, and was paced by an automobile.

Three days previously he had covered the distance In 5 '4 seconds. John Black, veteran professional golfer, once went around the 18-hole course at Claremont, in 08 strokes? This Is one of the lowest scores on record. The. "Old Master," who tied for second place with Bobby Jones In the 1922 U. 8.

open tournament, went out with his trusty pipe on June 18, 1919, and when he had come back to the clubhouse after holing his final put, on a fairly long course, at that, he had made Uie lowest score for 18 holes ever made In the United States. Lightweight Elimination Tourney Is Suggested; Will Benny Retire Un-defeated? The late featherweight climinnllon fuss having been settled to the satisfaction of the New York State Boxing Commission, Lou Kaplan of Morlden, and everybody else, with the exception of the five defeated candidates and some other featherweights vho felt that they should have been Included in the festivities, it Is said that the Umpire State Board Is about to consider a lightweight elimination tournament. This seoms to be the open season for elimination tournaments. The lightweight elimination tournament, if any, will differ from the featherweight affair in that the wln-nor will not be set up on the Boxing Commission's pedestal as the new 135-pound champion. The Idea of the new proposition is that the winner will be considered the logical contender for Menny Leonard's somewhat cobweb-covered crown.

Mr. B. Leonard will be asked as graciously as possible to defend his title ugalnst-the logical toVtender. If he falls to do so or cannot make the weight, Benny will be asked as graciously as possible to relinquish the lightweight championship of the world and all that title conveys. Leonard has not appeared us a lightweight champion since the night in July, 1923, when he demonstrated at the expense of the left-hnnded Lew Tendler that no boxer of any era had anything on Harlem's "Ben-nah." At that particular bout the weight of both Leonard and Tendler was considerably In doubt.

It was announced 'thftt both fighters came in under 135 pounds, but nobody could be found who was looking at the scales when Benny and Lew weighed In. Can Leonard Make Weight i Despite the fact thatLeonard almost tearfully protests that he can make 135 pounds, with one hand tied behind him or something of that sort, It is extremely unlikely that the champion, after a two years' layoff, can weigh In under tho lightweight limit and be strong, If he can get down to 135 pounds at all. There is a posslbll'y. In fact, according to some, It extremely probable that Leonard will forestall all efforts to force him into a title match hv iutlFln uiiiirirniou, Benny recent breakdown before the footlights, his illness with the grippe, may lead him into making this move.

Champion Martin Ordered Out of Ring and Bout Declared 'Wo Contest IN COE P-LftY i Billiardist Defeats 'Klinger, 300 to' 71, in pastern Tourney and Runs 117. By AltTHVK V. JONGS Jr.

Herb Hammer, youthful billiard flash from Sheeplihead Bay, Justified all the nice things that have been, said of him when he defeated Jacob Klinger, former champion of Austria, 800 to 71, in the Eastern Class A amateur 18.11 balkllne tourney at Ue'creatlon Academy last night. It was a brilliant game, with Herb coming; up to he -best form that he has displayed during, tha current season. He closed out his total In 15 Innings for an average of 20 and marked up the high run of the tourney, a collection ot 117. This surpassed his previous high mark of 78 from the previous night's play hen he lost to Dr. Richard M.

Ros-cow of Baltimore. Every one was rooting for the kid wonder to come through with victory. And the rooting brought results, for Hammer was never headed after the third Inning. Herb kept clicking off the Ivories with such consistency and brilliancy that' Klinger seldom had a chance to settle down to a triumphal-collection. In addition to the sensational string of 117, Hammer collected good runs of 67, 28 and 17.

The best efforts' of Klinger accounted for run of 19 and 13. Such games are rare even in the ranks of the Class A players and Hammer certainly qualified for that rating by his display against Klinger. 'Cards Tell Story. The cards Hammer: 0, 2, 14, ,17, 6, 2, 24. 67, 28, 0, 0, 14, 6, 117, 18 800.

High run 117. Average 20. Klinger 1, 4, 13, 0, 0, 19, 18. 6, 1, 3, 0, 1, 1, 971. High run 19.

Average 5 1-14. In tonight's play, In the Eastern tourney, Jacob Klinger will meet Dr. Uoscow, the Baltimore flash, who defeated Hammer. Although Hammer has beaten Klinger and Roscow has defeated Hammer, it does not mean that Klinger will lose to Roscow. Such form reversals are apparent in this tourney that it would not be surprising if, Klinger turned the trick over the Baltimore veteran.

Ed Appleby, who holds tho Eastern title at the present, Is the big threat which lingers for any aspirant for the crown. The title-holder has only played one contest, losing on the first night to Klinger. In that match both men were manifestly off form and no direct conclusion can be drawn from the result. By winning both of his coming games, Appleby hus a very good chance to retain the championship. IIoppc Wins Again.

Willie Hoppe celebrated the return from his brief week-end vacation by winning two games at three-cushions In his training for the coming match with Bob Cunnefax, the three-cushion champion. In an afternoon tilt Hoppe was the victor over Kdward Gulden, 60 to 13, in 47 innings. The balkllne champ was In particular form and rattled off sonre neat runs, getting two strings of seven and a pair of fives. Golden had a high run of 8. The evening game was more closely contested.

Hoppe defeated Mannv Letzter, 60 to 41, In 68 innings. Each man had, a high run of 6. Hoppe exhibited an even stroke and showed more pep thun he has had in some of his previous matches. It Is a safe bet that Hoppe will have dynamite in his cue when he meets Cannefax. Although the proposed match with Jake Schaefer at balkllne has been postponed, Hoppe Is scheduled to visit Boston next week, where he will engage In exhibition pluyrlf nothing else.

For, while the Immediate aim of Hoppe must limited to three-cushion playing, there Is the International balkllne tourney lo be considered for February. Meehan Accepts Coach 'sPosition At New York XL John F. Meehan, called by some admirers "the greatest coach In the East," yesterday signed a contract to direct New York University's desti-nles on the gridiron for the next three years. Meehan succeeds Tom Thorp, who left hla mark Indelibly stamped on the Hall of Fame institution. Thorp did a lot for ff.

Y. but perhaps with his strategic genius, can do more. Certain It Is that N. Y. U.

must go out and dig up "big league material'' if Meehan is to have any sort of a chance to Justify his reputation. The caliber of players which had to work with nt N. Y. U. was not calculated to enhance Meehan's prestige.

Say what you will, even the greatest of conches must have adequate material in the shape of prep school stars continuously coming up, If he la to pilot his eleven to a piuce among the elect. Financially the shift to New York is pleasing to Meehan, but sentimentally he is distressed at the necessity of leaving Syracuse. It remains to be seen whether the venture ruins Meehan "artistically." We wish him well at N. but there is no use denying that the odds are agin him. All "Chick" needs now is ft few Granges and Weirs, around whom to build a team.

They say such birds are obtainable If you know where to look for 'ein and if your proportions are attractive. N. Y. however, always scrupulous In the adherence to the spirit of the amateur code, will not care to bid against certain other colleges of lesser moral liber for the sorvices of prep school stars.

Rappaport was an limp as the proverbial wet rag.

Barrett came over and helped carry him to his corner. Then two cops climbed Into (he ring and permitted no one to leave it. This presence of the law in the form of the cops gave the scene a dramatic touch. The club physician was right at hand and on the Job. Restoratives were administered and Rappaport recovered.

Whereat Barrett, tender-hearted and relieved over his recovory, cried. He said that he hoped he had not hurt Rappaport. Up to the time that the punch landed Rappaport had given Barrett a good boxing lesson. He had him outpointed by a wide margin. Barrett weighed 146V4 and Rappaport 143.

nacle the same crowd that boosted you up are the first ones to try to knock you off. The question uppermost in the minds of the boxing world Is, What will the Boxing Commission do? Will they suspend Martin? Will they sus pend Pisano? Will they suspend uoth of them? Or will they reprimand RofereBe Crowley by claiming his action "too quick" and put him on the shelf tor awhile? There Is no doubt that Martin was not. fighting at his best clip. He danced around Pisano and tried to box and when he let a punch go that carried ''steam" he missed by a city block. The usual up-tearing, slam-bang Cannonball was not doing his stuff.

7 Iooks Like a Gymnasium Workout. It looked more like a gymnasium workout than an honest-to-goodness boxing bout. Martin, as every one kno.vc, outclasses Pisano Ne Man o' 'War against a tray horse. Eddie, if he felt so Inclined, could have "taken" Pisano any time he wished. You say, then, that Crowley did the right thing by stopping i.

But Just a moment. There are always two sideB to a question. Last night Martin was fighting for sweet charity. He was to get 37 percent of the "gate." Every nickel and thin dime pf this the turned over to the fund for the poor of the Greater City. Then, again, Martin Is signed up for two important matches out of town and In February Is to meet his most persistent challenger: Phil Rosenberg, lh the Garden for the title.

Why should he tear into Pisa no nnd take a chance of a broken hand or a badly cut eye or Hp when he has these lucrative, matches in bight? Would you? I Referee Crowley naa a dirterent way of looking at It. Ho went to Martin's corner at the end of the first and second rounds and warned the "Cannonball" that he would stop. It If Martin did not perk up and get busy. The boys were dancing around, t'doing their stuff," in, the third session when of a ssdden Crowley halted the contest. He said, part, after the bout: "These people out here paid theli money to see some action not a brother act I warned both boys numerous times lo speed It up or I would stop the bout.

They did not heed my many warnings, and they kept fiddling, around I took matters Into my own hands and stopped It." Pisano seemed to have the bethnr of the bout, when it was halted. He kept dancing around Martin, sticking a powder-puff left in the, champion's face and stepping out of tlw way when It looked as if Martin might forgot himself and clip him with a hard otoe. Martin did all of his flghgng In hi, corner. Loud and angry words wafted their way back from the "Cannonball" lo his seconds, and th. people around the ringside that were within earshot wondered what It was all about.

The champion weighed under the bantam limit, tipping tho earn at 117)4 pounds, und Pisano, 122. "Pepper" Still Has HIn! "Such." Pepper Martin, Brooklyn's socklnir demon when he Is right stopped Hilly Miller of Cypress Hills In tha sixth round of the soml-flnal.

All the horsesln trllnlng owned by the late August Belmont which have been In charge of Louis Feustel at the private training quarters Just outp4de of the Belmont Park track, will be sold at public auction late In February.

This Is definite. Private negotiations to purchase the string of 23 head have fallen down. Thomas Fortune Ryan, noted financier and railroad magnate, owner of the oakridge Farm in Virginia and a patron of the turf up to last fall when he sold out his string of racehorssjH. was the first to make an offer for the Belmont horses. Hl-i offer failed to brine forth tha desired result.

Then Montfort. Jones, one ot the new oil kings and a patron of rao-lng for several years, as well as a breeder of thoroughbreds at his farm In Virginia, opened negotiations. This, (oo, fell through-attur several days of consideration. Word to that effect waa received by the secretary of Major, Belmont at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Then It was that the executors of the wlJJ of Major Belmont deter, mined to sell the horses In training, as well as the stallions and broo-i mures and yearlings at Nursery Stud Farm, under tho hammer.

Horses Likely to Bring $300,000. As I have explained In a prevtour article, lt'a likely that these horses will bring at least SHOO.OOO. This is a very conservative estimate of their value. Of course, Ordinance i.nd Ladkin will bring the big prices, Tht former was probably the best three-year-old of 1924. His only rival war Sarazen, which beat him in the Carter Handicap at seven furlongs but was beaten in turn for the Mount Vernon Handicap at one milo.

Ordinance is a descendant ot Ormonde, the great unbeaten racehorse of England. Ladkin beat Epinard und been line he is a nignly-bred sop of Fair Play, the sire of Man o' War, he will be in great demand. The value of both colts rests in tho. fact that they soon will be stallions. Among the two-year-olds under Feustel's care Is a brown colt by Hourless Balconolr, by Ethelbert.

This colt belongs, to Perry Belmont, brother of the late Major Belmont. Ho Is called Balkan. He will not be sold. He Is eligible to start in tho big classics of England and France, as well as those of the United Stutes. Major Belmont thought that the Juveniles now under Feustel were the finest bunch of young horses that had ever been foaled at Nursery Stud.

Chance Play, a chestnut colt by Fair Play, Is considered the star of the lot. As a yearling he worked two very fast trials. Major Belmont thought that he would turn out to be another Man o' War, If not superior to that horse. On the strength of what the youngster did in trials he will unquestionably bring a bis price. He is a fine individual.

Feustel Now Out of a Job, The death of Major Belmont throws Feustel out of an engage-ment. Ho will remain with the horses until they are sold. Then there ought to be a' greut deal of bidding for his services. It must not be forgotten that this young trainer not only broJto Man o' War as a yearling but selected him for Samuel D. Riddle, It was on Feustel's advice that Riddle paid 15,000 for Man o' War as a yearling.

Most every man knows the. history of Man o' War that he was the su'-perhorse, not only of his vear, but probably of all time. And Feustel was the man who developed his speed from the first day until the last. It must also be said that Feustel fH tho man who trained and developed Missionary, Ladkin and Ordinance. The fact thut he has had this last crop of two-year-olds in his care for a long time, ought to make him valuable lo the purchaser of the youngsters.

Naturally Feustel knows more about the Juveniles than any other man. Evening High Loses on Court (Special to The Eaple.) Philadelphia, Jan. 8 The Catholic High School five made its Initial bow-before local scholastic fans last night by triumphing over the Brooklyn Evening High School of Brooklyn, In an Intercity fray by 87 to 24, Both tenms played a fast, snappy, passing game and had 14ie spectators on their feet throughout the entire contest. It was not until five minutes of play had elapsed when Frank Dudley of the Catholic High five dropped in a foul, giving his team the lead. From then on the game was fiercely fought by both sides with the first hHlf ending 14 t.o 7 In favor of the locals, Two lads stood out prominently for Biooklyn, Paul Fitzgerald and Spinner.

It was a of an Irishman with the blend of an American in his blood administering a splendid walloping to an all-pure Irishman. Mike, Maybe. Earned One Round.

IT was one of the most onc-slded battles that it has been my misery lo look at in many a year. McTigue possibly had one round of the 12. A great many of the patrons refused to give him a session. But wishing to give Mike all that was coming to him and, glory be, he needed that and tons of sympathy besides he may have been entitled to the fifth round. AH the others belonged to Walker.

In the years that are dead and gone McTigue earned a fine reputa-" tlon as a defense fighter. He strengthened that reputation last night. During the 12 rounds he struck Walker flvo honest-to-good-ness stiff punches to the Jaw. He did It each time with a short right. Not once did he hook Walker with the left.

Not once did he uppercut with either right or left. NK once did he do anything with the left except tap a faint Jab, a light Jab. from the start to the finish. But be did do one thing almost continuously he held on. As a champion fighter Mike was a fine wrestler, with a decided preference for close quarters with locks and grips that would have made "Strangler" Lewis envious to think he had never practiced them.

When forced to break. Mike always or nearly aTways gave a salutation ot parting to Walker. This was in the form of a blow from his elbow or I he back hand of his glove. It was like the kiss of two rival queens of socler the kiss of "friendly enemies." Referee Lewis Cautions McTigue. THAT free use of Mike's elbow and the back of his glove caused Henry Lewis, the referee, to caution him several times.

But Mike paid little or no heed to the warning. It was the valiant Mickey who stopped the dirty work, and Mickey stopped it effectively witVa shower of brows. This was during the early sessions. Mike each time that he was warned held his hands out as though to apologize to Walker. Mickey accepted this dumb show of contrition two or trlree times.

Finally, after Mike had pulled this dirty work four or five times nnd started to hold out his hands again, Mickey, with his Hps parted in a snarl of rage, tore Into Mike and gave htm a fine lacing. It was left to the body and right to the Jaw over and over again. Mike" twisted nnd squirmed and tried lo hold on, but was forced against the rones. In nearly every round those flurries of fury on the part of Walker brought the crowd lo their feet with the hope that he would Mike out. But each time Mo-figue, one of the craftiest of ring senorais tnat ever stepped between the ropes, weathered the storm by holding on and by gripping Walker's nanus, jutke managed to keep on nis feet, although he rocked un steadily from the fistic storm.

McTlgue's First Stiff Punch. "yilE first good punch that Me Tlgue delivered was in the seventh round. It was a short right to the face nnd made Mickey blink his eyes. That was the only good punch In the round that he landed. In the ninth he sent ovr two rights to the fnre.

A piece of white flew out of Walker's moyth and many thought it wirs a tooth. This oc curred three times during the milling. Many of the patrons had an Idea that poor Mickey hadn't any teeth left. Between rounds Mickey always placed a big wad of cotton In his mouth. This was done to absorb the blood in case he was hit hard enough to make the gums bleed During the fighting Mickey chewed on the cotton as though it were guin.

He fought most of the time, wilh his Hps parted and his Jaws not sl The result was that when Mike hit him the cotton popped out. Mickey showed no fenr of Mo Tlgue at any time not from thi first bell to the last.

Barrett Wins Sensational K. O. Over Rappaport. THE bqiit between Bobby Barrett of Philadelphia and John Hap paport of South Orange, welter weights, ended In sensational fash ion in the elghtn round. TMb was the semi-final of the night, und as a light was 100 percent better than the main event.

I had anticipated this and in my advance story said that the outlook was a good bout. Barrett hit Rappaport half swln nnd a half chop with his right to the Jaw during the middle part of the eighth chapter. He Had tried time and time again for just that kind of a punch but had failed. He had either missed Rappaport or hit him on the neck. But this time his Judgment of distance was good.

Jtap-paport was Just preparing to duck ihojilow when it landed flush on his chin. The South Orange 4nd made a spectacular dive thal'r the best way to describe it and hit the canvas with the crown of his head. His let went in the air and his head Hussey, wearing the colors of tliu Rlndgo Technical School, gave Loren Murchlson a whale of a battle every foot of the Journeyt "Murch" had to travel the in six seconds to nose out the schoolboy wonder. So furiously did "Murch" finish that he fell headlong Into the lobby beyond the arena after colliding slightly with an official, whose dignity was somewhat damaged. Murchlson, conceded to be tho fastest Indoor sprinter of recent years, never felt safe.

He Is a flash at getting oft his mark, but Hussey did not yield Loren an appreciable margin at thi vital phase of the Indoor game. In a 0-meter event tha start is pretty nearly the whole works. Hussey had the satisfaction of beating so formidable a sprinter us Cyril Coaffee, the Canadian Olympic champion who runs for the Illinois A. C. Murchlson made a show of his field In the 260-meter dash, covering tha distance in the world's record time ot 29 seconds.

Haro of Finland had previously set the outdoor mark at 29 4-10 seconds. Two hundred and fifty meters is an odd distance, never run outdoors by greaf American sprinters such as Palldock and Scholz. Murchison's feat of running around board turns faster than Haro did on the straightaway cinder path Is certainly noteworthy, however. The Newark Jack-rabbit left his rivals as though they were anchored. i Goodwin Gain Whole Lap on Dodge.

TO OUR way of thinking, one of the grittiest bits. of running of the entire meet was turned In Willie Goodwin of the N. Y. A. C.

Goodwin ran anchor In the one and eeven-elghth mile medley relay race against Ray Dodge of the Illinois A. C. There Is no love lost between these two famous organizations hence the keen rivalry when Tricolor faces Winged Foot. Ray Watson, running next to the Inst relay, appeared to have cinched the contest for I. A.

C. when he opened up yawning gap hr. If a lap on G. Nolan In the half-mile. Goodwin thus faced thn prospect of being compelled to pick up half a lap on Ray Dodge in the final mile.

It looked like an Impossible undertaking, for Dodge la rated one of America's premier middle-distance men and was a member of the Olympic team. Running with unusual gamenesa, however, unheralded little Goodwin accomplished tho miracle. When-he took the baton from Nolan, Dodge was almost, "out of sight" around the Madison ave. curve. Only the grittiest of runners could have kept plugging aw ay under such a discouraging handicap, but theie was rij quit in Goodwin.

Not only did wee Willie" make up that hoi -ribl: gap of half a lap, mit, after Dodge, Goodwin proceeded to run him Into the ground, opening up a half-lap gap of his own. Thus In the space of a single miles Goodwin gained a whole lap on Dodge The latter, who is ijiore ot a half-mtler, wont all to pieces aftec Goodwin raced alongside. Goodwin ran'a 4:19 mile to bring the bacon to Nev York. I Plant Wears Canadian Champion Down In Walk ONE OF the most exciting brushes of a thrilling evening came in the two-mile walk, when Willie lint, America's finest walker, took the heart of Phil Granville, Canadian champion. What a contrast in physical types these two great walk ers presented! Plant, a small, wiry little chap, looked like a pigmy beside the giant negro, Granville.

Ar-rayed in flaring crimson, Granville presented a formidable picture. it looked a though he oould step all over the little Plant, but It was the tiny Yank who did the Starting from scratch, Plant and Granville quicjtly picked up the handieap men. Some were lapped three or four times in the course ot the two miles. For a whil Pearman had it out with the leaders, but the pace grew bo hectic he quit at the end of a mile. We think championship walking takes more out of an athlete than runs of similar length.

The exaggerated hip twist and body swing constitute a severe strain on) the human organism. A great walker must punish himself almost beyond endurance. It Is no sport for a mollycoddle. nrunvillc Blows I As Hue." Xears End, FOR mile 'and ttiree-quurter Plant und Granville could have been covered by a blanket.

The boxing world was "set on fire" last night when Keferee Jim Crowley called the bout between Eddie "Can-nonball" Martin, newly crowned bantamweight champion of the world, and Augle Pisano of Coney Island, "no contest" and ordered both boxers out of tho ring In the third round of their bout at the Christmas Fund show held at tho Kidge-wood Grove Sporting Club.

Poor decisions by some Judg and referees and form flip-flops by certain "topnotohers" have kept the fans busy arguing for awhile but were soon forgotten. It is safe to say that the decision of Crowley last night will be a topic of discussion as long as the boxing game lives. Imagine the feelings of Martin. After fighting his way up from utter obscurity to the brightest of spotlights he Is put in the class of a faker on his initial uppearance as the leader of the 118-pound class. Crowd Jeers the Champion.

The Cannonball was Indeed a sorry sight when Crqwley called a halt. He stood in his corner looking at the ceiling, with his chest heaving and large tears in his eyes, for st least two minutes. When he left the ring the crowd, who had cheered him to the echo a short time before when he was Introduced as the "champion who was not afraid to fight," razzed and Jeered him unmercifully. On the other hand, Pisano was cheered to the echo. Unlike Martin, Augle left the ring with his head up nnd a grin on his face from ear to ear.

The boxing fan is Indeed 'a rare Cornell Coach him the benefit of a substantial roll He was unusually quick In uettlni his kicks off. In fact the efforts of the Cornell team to hurry him, with the Idea of reducing his distance and Interfering with his accuracy, and no effect whutever. Kick a Beauty. Every kick he made during the game was a beuuty. Sometimes he would stand us close us four yards back of the line and sometimes 11 yards back, but he was just as effective in getting them off in one position us another.

Before a play started one could not tell If it were going to be a 65 or 60-yard punt, or a forward pass, or a running play, I would class that one ti6-yard punt of his from behind the goal line as the outstanding piece of football in my experience of the season and his punting In general that dny as the best football displayed by any Individual In any single game. Tomorrow lam Lrttle tells of I'onlhnin's unusual puss thai beat Georgetown. By GIL DOLIE, (This la the 23d of a series of descriptions bu coaches and officials of outstanding plays which occurred durim the recent football season. Mr. Dobie hen produced two undefeated teams at Cornell.

He is one of the country's foremost authorities on the liu'sc) ON one occasion in the Cornell-Rutgers game, after Cornell had carried tho ball to the Rutgers one-yard line and lost It on downs, Homer Hazel of Rutsers dropped back 10 yards behind the goal line to punt on first down. He was compelled to get the kickoff very quickly to avoid having it blocked, but he produced a perfect spiral, which carried five yaru beyond the center of the field. Hut that was only one example of his remarkable kicking. Throughout the game he was consistent. I cannot recall that I ever have seen moro effective punting anywhere, certain lyS I.

The Rutgers ends and backs held every Inch he kicked and the Rutgers defense was a full mutch for the Cornell attack. His punts averaged 20 yards more than those of Whetstone who did the kicking for Cornell.

Hazel employs a style In punting that Is unusual. After receiving the hall from center he takes a couple of steps almost directly to the right, so that when his foot hits the ball ho Is practically faclnir tho sideline. His style Is so extreme as to give the Impression that It would be must difficult to get proper direction and accuracy. But not only could he send the bull down the field high und fnr and straight as a die, but he was uncanny In placing it. First he would kick to tho right, then to the left, making It most difficult for the safely man to cover them without giving Vi.
