and Athletic Notes.
WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Entries are now In at the Christian Broth
ers College for the State athletic meet,
which will be held en tho college campus
next Saturday. May 21, the list including
the best-known athletes In the. college divi
sion of this city, as well as representatives
from three outside Institutions. Besides St.
Louis University and the Christian Broth
ers College, the colleges npresented aro
the State Normal. Klrksillle, and School of
Mines.
While, comparatively little Is known in
this city of the ability of the men from the
outside colleges, the representatives of the
two local Institutions seem particularly
strong, especially In the ..printing division.
OFlynr, Wabh, 0,NellI and Jlcl-ean are In
this event for St. Louis University, while
tho Christian Brothers have Doherty,
Longlnottl. Calilll, Hastedt and Henry
JcK.on as their representatives.
Three men can represent each Institution
'in each event, so there Is good material for
each college to select from among Its en
tries. Billy O'Flynn will certainly start for
the university, with Walsh and McLean the
most likely teammates. Walsh has shown
extremely well In the sprinting game of
late, and. while he did not figure In tha
university Indoor meet at the Coliseum, ho
has shown good form in all his training.
Of the C. B. C. entries In the sprints
Lpnginotti, Henry Jackton and Hastedt aro
likely to be the three selected, with J Ca
hlll as an alternate. Jackson figures in so
many different events. Including the hur
dles, high Jumps, sprints, quarter-mile and
pole vault, that It is hard to predict Just
what he- will specialize on the occasion of
the meet. Longlnottt ha been doing well
In the sprints of late and is considered a
strong candidate lor first place in the l(iu
)ards.
. 1nln& of St. Louis University, the
half-mile man at the Institution, will be
the only representative of the Grand avenue
college In the half-mile run. C. B. C, as a
contrast. Is strong In long-dlstanco men and
has. Ave entered In the distance events.
These are McCarthy, Yore, Baldwin. Longs
don and roster. St. Louis University Is not
represented at all In the sixteen-pound shot
put. In the quarter-mile run. however,
three men will compete on behalf of the
college. William O'Flynn is entered here,
as well as In the shorter dashes, and may
be tried out. Stadel and Fleming are the
other entries.
In the 120-vard hurdle Dan Dillon will
compete for St. Louis and Is the only entry
for that college. Both the Jacksons are en
tered In this event. Captain William Jack
son. Doherty, Qulsenberry. Log-don and
Henry Jackson being the other entries. Wil
liam Jackson will figure In the weight
events and has been training hard for these.
8teve Dohertv has also bii.n featuring tho
weights and should glvo a good account of
himself.
The track at the college Is practically
completed and will furnish a course of a
quarter-mile in circuit. The 100-yard chute
has not been laid with cinders as yet. but
It will be in first-class trim by ni.xt Satur
day. Tom Cox, who has been handling the
C B. C. men. will probably run off a spe
cial preliminary before the meet to decide
how to assign the men to the various
events. Coach Martin Delaney of St. Louis
University has already decided how to allot
bis candidates.

Harvard's crew squad has Just passed
through an unlucky week. The first part of
the week Captain Bullard strained his ankle
eeverlv In Jumping over a low stone wall,
an Injury which will probably deprive him
of twowepks' rowing at least The follow
ing dav R. S. Francis '02. unn ini,i ir frti-
a week, threatened with appendicitis. He
rowed In the victorious four oar last year,
and this year has been rowing at No. 7.
He Is considered one of the ht mt.n nn tha
starboard side, and as Bullard alo rows on
mis hiue, vne eiunis are considerably broken
up and not well balanced at present.
Little progress has been made since the
Easter recess toward Kplenifnf a 'mrKiti.
eight. It seems that Higginpon, the coach
nas not jet round a stroke oar who Is whol
ly to his liking, for within the last week
be has tiled a number of new men there,
even moving some of them over from star
board. FranclR, for instance, had a trial
at stroke Just before he was leaid off, and
alv Shuebruk. wbo has rowed on the port
side for four years Phillips, of last year's
freshmen, has nroved too unstendv. nnd i
probably out of the race for stroke. He
has gone back to rowing at No. 2. At pres
ent It looks as though McGrew would be
tho final selection. Bancroft had the call
on me position at nrst. but he has shown
little Improvement In the last two weeks.
McGrew gets a fairly good bent Into his
stroke, but the coaches have their doubts
about his ability to drive a crew along.
He Is a strong, effective oar. however, in
thl respect being ahead of Bancroft, and
he Is profiting by coachinir also Of the
other oars on the port side. Shuebruk at No.
B seems sure of his place, as he Is perhaps
the best man on that side of the boat,
nnd has yesrs of experience behind him. If
McGrew wins out at stroke Bancroft will
probably be put at No. 4. and No. 2 will be
fought out between Phillips and Derby, with
roster the rhot nuttor, as a possibility. On
the starboard side there are four good men
In Bullard. Francis, Aver and James.
Captain Guernsey of the Yale basebill
team ha made an nil around chanre In his
team as an experiment. The- unlverMtv nine,
whli" In fielding the most brilliant of recent
years, except at some olacci Is at
the bnt bv far the weakest. It Is not to-dav
a nine a good as last v ear's, and unless
It Improves It is difficult to see where Yale
ran win from eithpr Harvard or Princeton.
Captain Guernsey has taken De Saullej out
of the game entirely for the time being,
and give seeond bno to Metcalf. whose bat
ting Is excellent Cote, the freshman player,
who Is the season's find at Yale corn's In
from left field to horttnp -vnd Sillier go"s
out at short In left field. White. tb fresh
man captain, has ben tak"n on. He Is a
naru uatter and a lair neiuer.
This arrangement strengthens the nine all
around, but It Is still weak In spots Tho

It Is ready for Its championship series. Tie

High School and the Smith Academy will
tie up in their annual baseball game next
Saturday and the contest Is of some prom
ise, as both teams have shown good work
of late. Smith's performances have been
good throughout while High made an ev
eeptionallv strong showing in her contest
with St. I-ouis Ilniversits last Thursday.
On account of the State athletic meet and
the teachers' institute falling upon tho af
ternoon of May 21, it has practically been
decided to plav the game In the morning so
as to avoid conflict. The contest will most
likely be held at the Pastime grounds.
Washington University and the Missouri
Slato University will come together nt Co
lumbia next Saturdaj in a dual athletic
meet, and as the event will probably be
the first of an -.nnuil series of such con
tests the showing made by the two insti
tutions will be of interest. Thp meet will
be held on Rollins Field, nnd as the two col
leges seem fairly evenly matched the re
sult is In doubt.
Washington has good men In the weight
events In the persons of Lehman and
Smith, and Lehman seems to stand a good
chance In the hammer throw. W. Bray will
undoubted. give tho sprinters at the State
University a hard battle, while Kelleter
should show to advantage In the broad Jump
and Is able to give McCaslln. Missouri's be.t

own with the best Missouri can show- in the

from the records made at the State Uni

the foul ho would have won the fleht
throjgli coming strongly in the closing-
rounds.
However this might have been, it Is cer
tain that for the time the bout lasted up
to Abel's one punch, Sullivan gave as
pretty an exhibition of boxing as has been
witnessed here for some time. So far did
he oucla;s Abel as a boxer that In the
early rounds It looked as though the can
test would be a tamo, affair like the pre
llmlnarv. Sullivan's sKIll at blocking and
his perfect Judging of distance labile evad
ing Abel's leads alone furnished a spec
tacle which was worth seeing, however.
Sullivan probably was the coolest man
ever seen here In the ring. He would slip
Abel's swings and hooks without appareht
effort, sliding easily between the Kld'a
fists, and always getting h!slbow or glove
in the proper place to Mode Abel's blow.
to greater advantage In the shot-put In
this event, where muscularity lounts for so
much, the students at the agricultural de
partment of the State University "short
horns," as they are known should certaln-lj-
be able to furnish men who could hold
their own in mere strength with representa
tives of 1h average college. And were
this strength trained for the shot-put. the
college should be able to develop represent
atives of the highest order
Less room Is rtquired for practice in the
shot-put than in nnj other event, the yard
of a college boarding-house affording quite
as good a place as an where else. Yet the
"shorthorns" have never seemed to enthuse
over the possibility of developing good
weight men from their number. Nearly all
the good performers at the State Unlverslty
come from the academic department.
A rather peculiar decision was handed
down in th field dav of the Cincinnati Unl-ver-ltv
last week, an apparent frarnlng up
of one race cau!ng the Judges to dlsquallfy
the- man who finished second, without, how
eyr removing him from the meet alto-"
gether. Though disqualified in one event,
he was allowed to compete In the remain
ing contests of the day, anil succeeded In
w inning the Held championship.
The question arose in the 440-vard dash,

up. Mannheimer was In the lead, and was
vi Inning easily. Kugler wa? second, and
siemed to have that place cinched, when he
suddenly stopped and allowed Helntz to
pass him and flnih second. The impression
that he allowed Helntz to do thi so an to
get three points additional, thus helping
him on the way to the field championship,
bi-came general, and the judges decided to
disqualify Helnt7. As this would have kept
him out of several events thereafter, how
ever, he was allowed to compete in the re

While the men locked. Sullivan would
look languidly over Abel's shoulder at the
spectators or' the roof 'of he cltfb, and
uppercut without turning his eyes on Abe),
alnays landing and always shaking Abel
up. Early In the fourth round Abel showed
the effects of punishment badly, but he
hung grimly on and waited for an oppor
tunity to get In his blows.
It was only in the twelfth and thirteenth
rounds that It began to look as if he could
land an effective blow. In these rounds he
got In one or two hooks to the jaw which
irritated Sullivan, but which did no damage.
But It was apparent that Sullivan was not
fighting quite as fast a in the opening
rounds and that he refcrned somewhat tired.
"Whether he was really tlrlnir or whether he
was letting up a trifle to prepare for the
fast closing rounds, however, the bout ended
too abruptly to decide.
In the thirteenth Abel's aggressiveness,
which had never ceasi-d for an Instant
throughout the fight, told In the hnpe of a
couple of effective blows which reached Sul
livan hard on the face and which broujht
replies in the shape of rapid upp-rcuts from
the exasperated lommy In the fourteenth
Abel bored in. encouraged b his success at
landing in the previous round, and he made
connections twice with Sullivan at close
range.
His strergth was so cleirlv superior to
that of Sullivan that the latter attempted
to avoid him bv stepping back in the four-
j fenth, when Abel rushed, and this provfd
fl!satiui! for Sul'.Ivar. He was cloe t
me ropes, when the Kid siniuen'y made a
rush at him. pinning him to the roces with
a terrific left to the" rib region and follow
I l:-g it up with a right hook lo the Jvw This
! list blow was sent in with all the pent-up
force of thirteen and a half rounds of
I stilvlng, and It landed on Sullivan with a
crasn mat couiu be nearci in all arts or tne
house.
So strong wns the blow tint it fair! lift
ed Sullivan off his feet, "ending him shoot
Ins out between two of the upper ropes, to
land on the Iloor. after rolling oft the laps
of the spectators In the first rov. His mali
nger, A croon Johns, lifted the lighter and
shoved him back Into the ring, and hTe
commenced the first of a complicated series
of fouls.
Instead of remaining outside the ring.
Johns Jumped through the ropes to support
Sullivan and remained within for fully
twent) seconds, holding up Sullivan, who
was reeling! helplessij about, all but un
conscious and tottering buck from the sav
age rush bv Abel lo end the matter Ate '-i
seconds raised a howl of protest at Johns'
presence in the ring, and the cry was taken
up In- the spectators, until John was seized
by Al Nelli. who was seconding Sullivan,
and was jerked backward through the
rupes.
After removing Johns, however. Nelll
fractured a iule hlnisi If by grabbing a
water bucket and sending a showtr of
water across tho ring at Sullivan In an
effort to revive that tighter. More frantic
protests arose from the Abel corner ut
thli, but the two pugilists were oblivious
to it all, and went lurching from the ropes
together, Abel savagely trjlng to beat Sul
livan down with a rain of body blowe, and
thai latter dully trying to hang on, pro
tecting himself almost by instinct, though
his head was wabbling on his shoulders
With weakness. Sullivan was gradually re
covering his sense, in spite of Abel's pound
ing, and his persistent hanging on mads
it difficult for Abel to land a deciding blow.
One frantic effort by Abel shook Sulli
van loose, however, and then the end came.
Sullivan staggered back against the rope
from a hard right swing and fell forward
Just as Abel sprang in with a right upper
cut. which landed on Sullivan's groin and
sent him to the Hoor groaning with pain,
his face twisted and working convulsively.
So great was the pain that It actually
beemed to bring him back to a more lively
consciousness for a moment, tnough he
was unable to rise, and could only crouch
on the floor with his face turned piteously
toward Nelson, who, bewildered and rat
tled by the rapid sequence of of happen
ings, was turning from one man to another.
As Sullivan went to the floor his seconds
burst through the ropes almost as rapidly
as though thev were Impelled from behind,
and before Nelson realized what had hap
pened a wlldlv gesticulating prize fighter
was -linking him by the arm a,nd bellowing
claims of foul Into one ear, while ells of
triumph and counter cries of foul assailed,

Nelson had attempted to count when Sul
livan went down from the foul blow, but
he never got to ten. Before that the ring
was filled, and, after a glance at the situa
tion, he grabbed Abel's glove and held It
in the air. Pandemonium reigned for sev
eral minutes. Doctor Heine Marks mean
time evnrnlnlnir Sullivan and stating that
1 he had evidently been fouled badly.
Talk or rematcnir.g me men uus nu re
cited Interest, as the contest afforded more
discussion for th local followers of the
game than any battle fought here lately.
Sullivan's followers claim, with Justice, that
he simplv plaed with Abel throughout the
bout until the deciding hook landed. W hlle
Abel'n followers assert that the latter s
apgresiv eness and strength would have
won him the battle In the closing rounds.
Two contest'. In both of which James J.
Corbett figured, are recalled by the bout.
One Is his memorable fight with Fitzsln.-
mons at Carson City, in l-, wnen ne
simply played with the Auotralian for thir-
f-ort fnitn,1 nriil n. hnlf the duration Of
the Sullivan-Abel bout only to go down
before the one punch wnicn .luiromom
managed to get In. The other bout was
the Coibett-Sharkey affair, when Corbett
lost the decision through Con McVey Jump
ing Into the ring and claiming a foul, only
to have his principal lose the decision.
The Erne-Gans fight seems tojhave been
a great surprise even to the followers of
the negro, few believing that the contest
would end so quickly. .FTon. all "accounts.'
the blow- landed Just on the point of Erne'.
Jaw- and put him down for keeps after
about one minute and forty seconds of
fighting.- As the men fought at 136 pounds,
thev were three pounds above the light
weight limit but If titles can be won and
lost at, 1S6 pounds for the so-called feather-weight
class, there is nothing to prevent
Cans staling himself the light-welsbt
champion of the world.
Concerning the bout, a writer In a Cin
cinnati paper has the following to sav:
"Joe Gans's easy Ictory over Frank Erne
only goes to show how bold a robbery was
practiced when the colored light weight
fought Terry McGovern. The Idea of Mc
Govern beating so clever a. boxer a3 Cans
from one side of the ring to the other and
knocking him out in two rounds Is absurd.
It could never have taken place unless
there was an understanding between the
two men. and this undoubtedly existed.
McGovern never saw the day that he could
beat Gans In two rounds, and It is decidedly
questionable whether he could beat him at
all.
"Gans's ictory over Erne gives him the
light-weight championship. Gans fought a
man wno nau long since fceu nut -i unj.
Erne has never been right since McGovern
got him into the ring weighing 128 pounds.
At that low weight Erne was nothing more
than a chopping block for Terry, and the
grueling he got reallv put him out. of the
business. Since then Gans has been, steadi
ly Improving, and, while he won a bit soon
er than was expected, his victory was a
foregone conclusion."
As a result of Gans's quick victory, a re
turn match between the men Is expected
nnd probably will be arranged for Balti
more, where a purse of $3,000 has been of
fered. Al Hereford, who Is managing Gans,
states that If the Fort Erie Club will ral"e
this offer he will let Gans fight there again.
