S WEESTLING FIGHTING DOG'S WORK RECALLED EXCITING' LOCAL PIT BATTLE. JULB3 BERTHOLD AND "PADDY." Berthold Is a local sport, who fancies fighting dogs. "Paddy" was the hero of a sensational dog fight. In which his opponent became mad while In the pit WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC. Performances In training by an 18-znonths-old fighting bulldog, known as Rose, who Is said to be one of the most promising local performers at her weight, recalls what was likely the most exciting Vplsode In the history of the St. Louis 3og pit. In which her sire, Paddy, had to be turned loose to protect a crowd of spec tators, whom his opponent, a vicious bull terrier, had attacked. This Incident occurred nearly two years ago In the match between Paddy, then owned by Jack Crowley of No. 345 South Vande7enter avenue, and. a white bull ter rier known as Bob. owned by Julius Bort feld of North St. Louis. The match was (ought In an oil cariage-house on the North Side and was the occasion of two wild stampedes on the part of the spec tators. Considerable Interest was manifested In the flghti by local sporting men, and a irowd cf about forty persons attended the affair. The building In which It was card ed had no pit arrangad, the cartages with which It was stored being merely pushed aside to xrjike an open place In the floor. Bagging was stretched from wheel to wheel to lhcloso a rough species of ring. The bull terrier Bob was known as a vicious brute, who could be safely handled only by Bortfeld. The young man chosen to referee had Incurred the animal's par ticular animosity by teasing him and by once administering a beating when Bob had snapped at him. It was thought that the dog would not notice him In the pit, however. On the dogs being released for the first time. Bob had all the better of the fight ing, and, after twenty minutes, Crowley's dog, Paddy, "turned,'' or drew aside, from his opponent. The animals wre separated for an inter-al allowed by the rules and were then sent together again. According to the terms of the contest, the dog mak ing the turns had to "scratch," or take the Initiative, In the battle, and Paddy gamely responded. After thlny-ne minutes of battling Bob turned, and it was, therefore, his turn to scratch after the interval. When he was released by his handler he apparently no ticed the relerce for the first time, and flew at that oiliclal. Instead of attacking Paddy. The referee did not attempt to argue witt Bob, but made a flying leap onto th box of a carriage. Not contented with t'ils perch, he climbed onto the roof of ihe vehicle. Disappointed in this attack. Bob turned his attention to the specta tors, easily broke through the bagging mid chargtd on the members of the crowd. DOG CHASEE3 CROWD. Posts of vantage on the carriages were lmmeolately at a Dremium, but dearth of space in the vehicles made It appear like ly that, some one would have been seri ously Injured had not Crowley turned Pad.iy ioc&e and sent him after Bob. Pad dy grabbed his opponent by the shoulder and Drought him down, holding him until Bortfeld could secure a grip on his dog's neck. The animals were then torn apart. In the excitement the referee, evidently believing ho had seen enough of the game, mysteriously disappeared. According to the rules of the match.Crowley could have claimed a victory throueh Bob's failure to "scratch" to Paddy. Wishing to settle the question of supremacy, however, he allowed the match to be remade and set a date one month later. Por thw light a clt of lattice work was constructed, around which the spectators could stand and watch the battle. In the Interval of a month, however. Bob had grown incurablv v'clovs and seemed to hav become fairly demented, as he would attack any person approaching him. As Crowley had to enter the pit to han DR. GHAS. A. DUFF'S CIIAS.

A 'door was arranged in the side of the lattice, through which Crowley could Jump after he had turned Paddy loose. Upon the first turn Bortfeld Jumped Into the ring, grabbed Bob, and held him while Crowley would jump over the edge and attend to Paddy. The dogs were fighting for the second time when Bob turned. They were sent to gether after the Interval, and Bob In stantly started for Crowley Instead of Paddy. Crowley had no time to close the gate behind him. and Bob dashed out among the spectators, with' Paddy In hot pursuit. There was a wild break for the door, just as two patrolmen, who had been at tracted by the noise, came rushing up the alley. They f. .nd the old carriage house belching forth a torrent of spectators, fol lowed by two dogs, one of whom collared the first dog and brought him down. Crowley and Bortfeld managed to sep arate the animals, and the victory was awarded to Paddy on account of Bob's falluro to scratch on this Instance. Paddy Is now owned by Bortfeld, who liked his style and who purchased him from Crowley. Rose, one of the first of Paddy's get. Is now owned "by. Crowley, who has been' training her at his home on South Vandeventer avenue. She is a Im pounder, and Is said to be a fast fighter at her weight. "WIXinXG JOCKEY A GERMAN. Leading- Rider on the English Tori Dora la Foreign Country. WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC. England has suffered some severe blows to lts'sportlng pride In the1 past, but an incident of last summer was probably the bitterest of all, wlien It was discovered that the leading English Jockey wasn't English at alt. This seeming paradox Is due" to the fact that Otto Madden led the riders of the British turf in number of actual wins, W. Lane being his closest competitor. Al though generally ranked as an English man. It was found that Madden had been born In Germany, and that he was orig inally of Hungarian descent. He came to England when a child and 1 a citizen of that country. Yet his father was a Hungarian and "came to the Brl.lsh Isles in 1S7E with the Hungarian mare, K ncsem. who won the Goodwood cup of that year. Madden las long been a leading Jockey In Great Britain, and has headed the list of winning riders on several occasions, be sides hl3 work of last summer. He won the Derby on Jeddah when that colt was 100 to lMn the betting. He has ridden for the Prince of Wales for two or three season, and firs: attracted notice after he had been on the turf about three months. He rode his first mount as a licensed Jockey In 1K. His best year was IDS, when he rode 161 winners. English turfmen have been patting themselves on the back over the fact that an Englishman had headed the list of riders for last year. Now they find that it was uermany wmen produced mm, even If he Is an English citizen. This being the case Mornlngton Cannon has been held up of late In the English sporting press as the typical English Jock ey. He did rather poor work last year, his younger brother, Kempton Cannon, tying him In number of wins. Cannon, It will be recalled, derived his name from E. Brayleys horse, Mornlngton, on which his father won the Metropolitan Handicap in the late seventies. Mornlngton Cannon was born May 21. 1875. and has won all the classic races of England except the 2,000 guineas. He has ridden for the Prince of wales, and was first acquainted with the royal colors In 1895, when he won the Caterham plate on Courier at Eosom by a short head.

Mike Crist and Kid Calvert will meet this afternoon In a special wrestling match before the Columbian Athletic .Club, the pair being scheduled to com pete for tho best two In three falls, catcb- as-catch-can. at 124 pounds. Each man has a good local following and, In' addition, Calvert has a Belleville contingent which is strong numerically. He belongs to the Belleville Turnvereln, and Is said to be the -best wrestler at his weight ever produced at the Institution. Interest attaches to the bout. Inasmuch as the winner will likely be sent against Fred Doerr If the weight question can be satisfactorily arranged. Crist opposed Doerr last February and the bout Is still commented on as being the most desperata ever witnessed here. The men were to go on at catch weights. Doerr weighed 133, Crist 122. The entire contest took five hours and fifty minutes and the first bout was only won by Crist after four hour's and Bins minutes of continuous work. Doerr won the second and final bouts In forty and thirty-eight minutes respective ly, after Crist had dislocated his shoulder In the last turn on the' mat. This contest was wrestled at the Columbian Athlstlc Association. A boxing contest will also 'be held to day, Al Tofte and Jack Gaylord being matched to furnish the feature at this branch of sport.

He states that he has already wagered 1100 on tho Belle ville man. Several wagers recorded In South St. Louis- showed odds of 3 to 1 against Calvert, but It is not thought these figures will prevail at the ring side. The entertainment will likely be the last held In the old quarters of the club, as the Institution Is to movo into Its Broadway location some time this month. Andy Stevenson and George Block are scheduled to meet In the near future,-having agreed upon the weight question. They fought about eighteen months ago before the St. Louis Rowing Club, the re sult being a draw after ten rounds of hard battling. Stevenson had considerably the advan tage in weight on that occasion, and had Block on the floor the greater part of the first two rounds. The lanky South Slder managed to keep'hls head clear, however, always got up Insldo tho count, and camo back strongly enough to have Stevenson swaying on hla feet at the end. Stevenson hall the early stages of that battle altogether In his favor, while Block was securing a good lead at the close. The return fight between the two ought to produce a first-class contest. There are few fighters In the ring to day, from champions down .to the hum blest scrapper, who do not rejoice In some sort of a nickname, says the Chicago. In ter Ocean.

Lavlgne became known as the kid because of his youthful appearance. Spike Sullivan, whose flrat name Is Wil liam, got his nickname In a peculiar way. Sullivan began boxing In 18KJ. In 1896, in Boston, he met a fellow named Eddie Burke. The latter had a great local rep utation, while Sullivan was practically un known. Gulllvan won in three rounds, and the young Irishman demonstrated such terrific hitting powers in that encounter that Burks was cnmnlfttelv irnnr1rari nut and remained unconscious for some time. vvaen ne came to, ne weagiy asked to see his conqueror. Sullivan came forward and extended his hand. "You're an awful puncher," said Burke, partly dazed. "I didn't know that," responded Spike, Proudly. 'T hepe you're not much hurt" "No, I'm not hurt." said Burke, "but I am still dizty. But I'm afraid that, you had a couple of spikes In your gloves when you smashed me. That last blow felt as though It was landed with a .spike." After'that Sullivan was dubbed Spike. "Mysterious Bl'ly" Smith, whoso correct name Is Amos Smith, got his nickname Just prior to his first nubile appearance In 'the East. Although born at Eastport, Me., Smith fought mostly on the Pacific Coast In 1892 Tom Williams, champion welter weights; of Australia, came to this country In search of a fight. Ex-Judge rewton. who was matchmaker of the od Coney liiand Athletic Club, and who had seen Smith flght, sent for the latter to come here and meet the Antipodean. Very little was known of Smith in the East, and there was much speculation as to hls.ldcntlty. Some of the sports guessed that be was a "ringer," while others con jectured that he was a fourth-rater, who was selected merely to try Williams out. Others figured that Smith was a bank clerk, while some beard that he was a col lege, youth, who was in financial stra ts and became a fighter because he needed reuoy money, his movements and every thing pertaining to him were kept so ' " i"o ciuu management mat ne finally became known as the "Mysterious One." After Smith fought Williams and whipped him so quickly the newspapers called him "Mysterious Billy" Smith. Prank Craig, the "Harlem Coffee Cooler." color J.. came by h"s name wren he lived In Washington. That was In ISM, and he had no thought of becoming a pugilist. Craig Is an intelligent fellow, and from, boyhood had iO hustle for himself. One day he found himself out of a Job, and applied for a position in a cheap res taurant ns waiter. The projrtetor. a-white man, was averse to employing negroes and told Craig so. Craig was disappointed and was about to .go when he turned to the boss and said: "What's the difference whether I'm col ored or not as long as I do the work?" "A great difference." returned tho pro prietor, angrily. "You better get out of here, or I'Hjnash your head off." "I'll tell you what I'll do, boss." Craig said. "If you' give me some work I'll wait for- nothing. All I want Is my grub and a place' to sleep." The proprietor admired Craig's persist ency and in order to get rid of him finally said: ."All right; ril give you a Job. Til employ you as a coffee cooler." "What Is that?" asked the negro. "After a cup of coffee Is drawn." an swered the man,' "you Just go ahead and wait until It cools off. Then when It Is cooi mane it not again." Somehow the story got about, and when Craig camo to New York and Joined the fighting ranks one of hla old friends balled him as the champion "coffee cooler."

Jim Jeffries, the ''Boilermaker," was a bollermaker before ne became a Knight of tne ring, joe wai cott received his title of "Joe the Giant Killer" because of his fearlessness in meeting men heavier than himself, and through his victory over Joe Choynskl at the Broadway A.

Whether Hertz used the word Tipton In lieu for another name for a certain warm place has not been divulged. At any rate. Yanger has been called the "Tipton Slasher" ever since.

In the next ten days, handlers of thoroughbred horses In Kentucky will begin active training op erations and not a few will change base with the strings in their charge. Turner Bros, will likely again train at Nashville next spring. They did want to send their horses to Memphis, but the overcrowded condition of the stables there has caused a change in early winter plans and the Rock City will probably be their headquarters In the next three weeks. Woodford Clay and Woodford & Buck ner, the ether prominent Bourbon County racing firms, will train at home, having determined not to race before the Latonia spring meeting. What running they do" there will be sort of preliminary to getting their horses thoroughly fit for Washing ton Park; Chicago, and summer racing at Saratoga Springs. J. T. Williams, who had only two or three horses last fail, now has a string of fifteen head near Spring Station, and at last accounts was figuring between Memphis and Nashville as a spring train ing ground. His first intention was to go to California, but he finally concluded It was too far away from home. Moreover, ho thought It unwise to ship Proof Reader, a colt he really believes will make a crack S-year-old, such a long distance. Indica tions are that Williams, like Turney Bros., will decide on Nashville as a spring train ing ground. . Of the old guard. John Rodegap. J. C. Milan. Dan O'Brien, J. H.

Jack Baker's string will not be so extensive this year or In future seasons, as his brother. Robert L. Baker. Is a mem ber of the firm of Baker & Gentry, and they have decided to sell the product of their Kingston stud, instead of racing the colts and fillies they raise. T. W. Moore will also train his stable here, and he has taken upln the last few days the 3-year-old filly White Plume, winner of the Debutante Stakes last year at Louisville, and a very prominent Oaks candidate. Moore essayed an Eastern campaign last year with this daughter of Im.
