INTHÉ (OH*
ROWAN AND PURCELL GO TWENTY
BRUISING ROUNDS TO A DRAW
A Give and Take Affair from the First
Gong—"Dummy'' the Chief Aggres
sor—Neither Able to Do Much
Damage—A Yellow Prelimi
nary Fighter — Ringside
Challenges.
I Before a croud numbering about 600
and including upward of liiO Butte sports,
''Dummy" Rowan, the deaf mute pugil
ist, fought 20 rounds to a draw with
Frank Purcell of San Francisco at Turn
er hall in Annaeonda last night. The mill
was a bruising match throughout and
was never devoid of interest It was a
give and take affair with first one man
and then the other scoring an advantage
•ltd at the opening of every round was
anybody's fight. There was nothing ex
ceptional about the null as "pug" events
go, but it was clean throughout and at no
time was there manifest any disposition
to do dirty work. The men broke at the
command of the referee and is usual un- !
der such conditions there was an occa
sional punch in the clinches, but there
was never at any time anything that sa
vored of a foul, except to the minnds of
a few narrow minded, alleged sports who
know as much about prize fighting as Ike
Hayes does about the twelve books of
Caezar.
When at the call of time at the conclu
sion of the last round, Referee Fred Bo
gan announced the decision, it was evi
dent from the cheering, that the crowd
was satisfied—Bogan said, and correctly,
that the contest was a difficult one to de
cide. He appreciated the fact that each
man at times had the advantage, but
said he could not give a decision to ei
ther for one advantage when the other
bad evened matters up in his turn.
There were two preliminaries, the first
©f which was a juicy bit of slugging, be
tween young Green and a lad who calls
himself "Choynski." It was a four
round go and went the limit to a draw.
Both youngsters did some game pummel
ling and if there was any advantage it
was Green's who conceded about ten
pounds to his opponent.
The second preliminary was between
young Carrig of Anaconda and an un
gainly looking "pug" with the ambitious
name "Kid" Sullivan. The most con
spicuous thing about the "kid" was a
yellow streak that was always in evi
Aennee after he got a stiff jolt on the jaw
In the early part of the first rounnd. He
Btood up for about half of the second
round and after trying to trip Carrig
dropped to his knees to avoid punish
ment. Then he suddenly remembered a
punch somebody gave him some time
ago and proceeded to get groggy. He
was not on his feet at the tenth count
end when he did finally get up front his
knees it was to make a bluff at stagger
ing and at striking one of his handlers.
Manager Andy King of the Anaconda
Athletic club got solid with the sports
when he announced that Mr. "Kid" Sul
livan would get no coin of the realm.
When Rowan and Purcell entered the
ring it was announced that the former
weighed 163 pounds and the latter 154
pounds. Rowan was first in his corner

and held an animated conversation with
his brother "Silent" Rowan and "Dum
my" Thompson who with young Thom
as looked after the mute. Purcell was
handled by Jack Donnelly and Mose and
Ike La Fontise. There was a little argu
ment about the referee and Cavanaugh
and Kehoe were both mentioned until
there was a shout for Bogan. There was
nothing to it then but the clever little
fighter and he was chosen.
Rowan and Purcell are not great fight
ers in any sense of the word. They are
not clever either and like all men of
their class depend on one or two punches.
Rowan made most use of his left which
he sent, in swings and straight jolts, to
the jaw and was the aggressor through
out. Occasionally at the suggestion of
his seconds he would send the left to the
body but it was only a "once in a while"
punch. His right seemed useless ecept
as a ubiquitous guard for his jaw. When
"Dummy" did land there was no result.
In one round he put his left on Purcell's
jaw four times and produced nothing
more than a smile on the countenance of
the 'Frisco boy.
Purcell is a better ring general than
Rowan, but he was equally as clumsy as j
the mute last night and could not get j
away from those left swings or jabs. ;
True, he suffered little, but steady jab- j
blng on the jaw will send the best men
down for the count and Purcell was wide j
open. He used his right over the heart
time and time again but his punches too, j
lacked steam. He saw he could do noth- j
ing with the mute's head and he very i
properly played for the body, only with '
no appreciable result. Several times |
he swung viciously at the mute's head j
but "Dummy" was quick enough to get j
under them in most instances. A few j
times he was a little late and met Pur
cell's glove with his head, but no dam
age resulted ecept in the sixth round
when "Dummy's" right eye was ripped
by a scraper.
To describe the fight by rounds would
be to give the first round in detail and
then add "the same thing throughout."
There was not enough variety during the
mill to break the monotony and had it
not been for the fact that the fight was
an earnest effort, clean and bruising
there would have keen nothinng to it. But
giving credit where it is due it is only
fair to all concernned to say that the
fight was a good one of its kind, and as
before stated never at any time lacked
interest. Both men were good and strong
at the end and neither suffered to any
extent. Rowan appeared better able to
stand punishment though it must be said
for Purcell that his recuperative pow
ers are good. On more than one occa
sion when he appeared pretty much in
at the end of a round he would bob up
serenely for the next.
"Dummy" had things all his own way
in the first round. He commenced pro
ceedings by sennding his right and left
to the Jaw and then put his left on the
face. Purcell sent his left to the body
and they clinched. "Dummy" sent a left
to the jaw and got a right on the body
in return. They clinch again. "Dummy"

The second and third rounds were repe
titions of the first and went to "Dummy"
It was an even break in the fourth aipl
the fifth was "Dummy's" as were the
ninth and fourteenth rounds. The sixth,
eighth, tenth, twelfth and eighteenth
rounds were easily Purcell's and in the
others honors were easy.
Before the fight it was announced that
Tommy Ryan the welter weight cham
pion was anxious to meet the winner.
Ryan is now in Salt Lake and an eflfor.

him and Rowi.n or Purcell. What he
would do to eithîi wou'd be a plenty..

ner and it is possible that a mill will be
arranged for him in the near future.

ready to accept Klank's challenge for a
wrestling bout. He said he had $100 post
ed with Jack Kehoe of Butte as a for
feit.

Bole—Can Wrestle, if They
Can't Fight.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, June 19.—According to the
World, preparations are untTer way for a
big wrestling tourney in which the best
boxers In this country will be seen in
New York in a new role. It has been
stated on excellent authority that »>■

scene of bouts between Ruhlin, ^bar
key, Fitzsimmons and other prominent
heavyweights.

and Sharkey for the first match, which
will be decided within a few weeks. The
bouts will be arranged for nights when
the garden is not given up for cycling.

the garden and would be followed by
other meetings between the heavy

NO BETTING AT HARLEM TRACK
Chicago Sports in a World of Trouble—
Call Off the Race Meeting in
Consequence.
Chicago. June 19.—The trouble be
j tween the poolroom men had the effect
' of closing the betting at Harlem yester
day. When the spectators reached the
track they saw the following notices
posted eery where: "No selling of pools,
betting or gambling on these premises."
It was meant and, although there was
considerable handbook hewing about the
ring, it was not with the sanc
tion of the management, and track
policemen scurried about and stopped
this betting if they saw It. The result
naturally was a tame afternoon's sport
and a disgusted crowd.
Secretary Nathanson of the Harlem
Jockey club last night issued a state
ment calling off the remaining three
days of the meeting. Following is the
statement:
"Our intention was to race out the re
maining three days of our meeting with
out allowing betting, but our attorney's
advice is not to race, as such action
might be construed as disrespectful to
the court's injunction and might injure
our case, which comes up on Monday.
The decision to close Harlem came as
a surprise to the public and to most of
the bookmakers. The managers of the
track held a conference last night and
the above notice will be issued.
The decision to close the track was the
result of Judge Stein's refusal to dis
solve Judge Holdom's Injunction against
the race track people.
Out of the courts the bookmakers re
ceived a blow when Mayor Harrison de
clared, with emphasis, that he would
not allow betting on the Derby to be
run at the opening of the Washington
park races on Saturday.
Chief O'Neill declared that he would
act "when the time comes."
"There certainly will be no gambling
at the Derby," were the words of the
mayor.
"I will permit no gambling there and
that was the understanding on which
the license was Issued."
There is no doubt that the American
Derby will be run. whether there is any
betting or not. It is reported that the
chief of police has received certain in
structions, but it is not believed that
the mayor will enforce the threat made
by him that there will be no betting.

CONSTITUTI ON AG AIN AT WORK
Everything Moves Like a Charm
Aboard the Yacht After Her
Preliminary Wreck.
(By Associated Press.)
Newport, R. I.. June 19.—After being
laid by for two weeks for repairs to her
broken steel mast, the Constitution has
resumed her tuning work, going outside
and sailing back and forth between
Brenton's reef lightship and Point Ju
dith for about four hours.
The trial yesterday, while testing the
repaired mast and rigging to some ex
tent, was more especially for the benefit
of the crew, for during the time practi
cally every sail in the locker was set and
taken in. Mr. Duncan said everything
went smoothly and the yacht would go
cut every day. His immediate racing
lilans are not determined, but he proba
bly will not take the Constitution to
Glencove or other events on the sound
arranged for this month.

INTERNATIO NAL YA CHT RAGE
All the Big White Winged Flyers May
Join in a Grand Ocean
Regatta.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, June 19.—The proposed
trans-Atlantic race between yachts of
the America's cup class is receiving
much consideration from yachtsmen in
this city. The fact that Sir T% mas
Lipton looks with favor on the proposi
tion leads many to believe that Thomas
VV. Lawson and W. Butler Duncan, Jr.
will agree to enter the Independence
and the Constitution against the Sham
rock.
J. V. S. Oddie, secretary of the New
York YacKt club, was seen last night
and said that the trans-Atlantic race
had not yet been brought to the atten
tion of the club. *
Lacrosse Team Organized.
Butte now has a lacrosse team. It
was organized at a meeting last night
at the office of Conroy & O'Brien, and
the following officers were chosen: P. A.
Allen, manager; Byron E. Conroy, secre
tary; J. T. O'Brien, treasurer. Sticks
and suits will be ordered at jnce and
within a short time practice will begin.
The question of grounds has not been
decided, but it is probable the base ball
park will be selected. A meeting of tl.e
club has been called for June 25, when
definite arrangements for the first game
will be made. The personnel of the club
is as follows: P. A. Allen, J. T. O'Brien,
R. D. Daprato, D. J. McDonald, A. P.

TO GIVE HOME TO SHOP GIRLS.
The Business Women's association of
Des Moines, which is trying to furnisn
a respectable home for the girls who
come into the city to work for a beg
garly pittance in the stores and offices
here. Is trying to raise money to build a
permanent home. The institution has
occupied the old Callahan college prop
erty, which is now being converted into
a Methodist hospital. F. M. Hubbeli ad
vanced $5,000 to the board of managers
of the association with which to pur
chase a home, but this is not largt,
enough, and It is necessary to build a
$7,000 addition. The people generally,
even in this city, have little knowledge
of how these shop girls and office girls
are paid and how some of them live.
Very often they are expected to supp jrt
themselves on $2 a week. A great many
of them earn only $3 and $4: $5 Is con
sidered good pay for this class of girls.
The question of why they do this rather
than to take positions In good homes,
where they can have every comfort and
earn $3 or $4 or là a week besides, is
I
I

:
I
one that the association of promlnsnt
women, led by Mrs. J. C. Cummins, is
not trying to solve. What they hope ty
do Is to take these girls who come in
from outside and supply a respectable
and attractive home at a price running
from $1.50 to $3 a week for board and
room. The desire to get into the city In
the hope of bettering their condition
brings hundreds of girls to Des Moines
every year. The Business Women's as
sociation is trying to exert an influence
on the lives of these girls after they
reach Des Moines.
Work of a Daring Fainter.
A1 visitors to the Salon in Paris this
year halt and gaze at a canvls bearing
the title, "Christ Tied to a Coulmn.'*
Jean Beraud, the Peter the Hermit of
the crusade for the renaissance of mys
îû'isni, has set the art world and the
beulevards to talking again, for in a
canvas purporting to represent a mob
lashing the Savior to a pillar with ropes
he has grouped the forms and features
of some of the best-known of modern
Frenchmen. They are of all walks of
life, politicians, other artists, men of
letters, socialists, and reformers. One
may easily recognize their features and
the allegorical meaning of it all is plain.
In addition to its daring conception the
art value of the production Is startling.
Critics are unanimous in their praise of
its masterful coloring and technique,
fully on a par with the painter's "Modern
Christ" and "Descent from the Cross"
twelve years ago, and far more impres
sive—for in his latest work the Christ
has blue eyes and auburn hair and wears
robes of flaming scarlet. As he stands
he weaves defiance to his persecutors,
who are crowded about him with scowl
ing or sneering faces and clenched fists.
