p- -v THE ST. LOTTIS EEPrBLTC: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER L'5. 190. PUGILISM--TUEF NEWS-WASHINGTON PEEPAKING FOE GEIDIEON SEASON j-r. BERGER SAYS "NATIVE SON" IDEA HAS NO INFLUENCE UN FIGHT DECISIONS. Pan Francisro Amateur Claims That the Verdicts Handed Down in Pacific Coast Bouts Have Xot I5een Such as to Put the Visitor at a Dkadvantape Crowd Alwavs Cheers the Eastern Man. He Declares, and the Native I5oy Has Xo More Support Than the Outsider. According to Kam Scrccr. the Pacific Coast amateur heavy-weight boT who wi-l return to s.m Francisco to-morrow night, but who expects to ilt the city again before he close of the Fair. there Is no truth in the statement that er dlcts in prize fights on the coast are in fluenced by the "natie-son" Idea "Vou can say what you pleas- about the came out there." said Merger, hut I rever saw a case where a visitor did not get what wa coming to him. The visi tors. If anything, get th edge oer the local men. I don't think that the fact a man belongs In San FrancIco has a bit of weight with any referee. "The mere fact that such a rumor has pot abroad has made the followers of the came out there n faor of a -visiting fighter. It's Just like in eery city, where one man is being touted as a world beater and another overlooked. Th crowd of sports attend the fisht prepared to ap plaud the man they deem the under dog. "When a visiting flchter has stepped In the ring out there against Hanlen or Britt. I hae -sen the whole house rise up and cheer. When the home flchter came in he would have his own contingent veil ing for him. of course; hut a lot of those present would hoot and hiss ihe home man just to encourage the visitor. "I don't think a visiting pugilist ever sets the worst of It In San Francisco. The crowd cheers for him and Is with him from start to finish. They believe that the referee and sporting element generally Is with the homo man. I suppose. "I have never seen a case whre an out sider got any the worst of a verd'et out there. If anything. I believe they have received the best of It. Professor Van Court, who was sent here by the Olympic Athletic. Club to nerve as my handler, thinks that both O'Keefe and Tanger hould have received their verdicts In their fights en the Coast. I didn't see those fights, so I can't pass Judgment there But It may be that It was simply a case where the referee and leading pugilistic experts differed In opinion." JOHN L. STJLTJVAX'S BBXEnT. John I Sullivan, the veteran "of the ring. Is to have his benefit at the Jal Ala! banding to-morrow night. The old lighter has already received assurances of support from the leading boxers of the neighborhood and many hae com from Chicago to tako part In the entertain ment.

GREEX-O'KEEFE BOUT. Dick Green did not prove tho victim In his bout with Jack O'Keefe at the West End Club last Thursday evening, although many members of the sporting world, who fancied themselves of ex treme astuteness In such matters, pre dicted that the bout had been arranged with Green as a mere punching bag far OKe-fe. Although Green lost the verdict, he put up a battle that showed him about the best man to be sent against O'Keefe as a preparatory battle to the latter" right with Britt. The contest gave Green his longed-fcr opportunity of showing that he was really a man who has to be consid ered In his own class. When Manager KiUIan arranged the fight he stated that be had not picked out Green because O'Keefe wanted an easy opponent for the battle. He raid that he bad selected Dick be cause the tatter's record showed he was clearlv the man to meet O'Keefe. and be cause It seemed as If he could put up the TRUE SPECIALISTS For Nervous, Sexual and Blood Diseases kBBBBBBBY .H BTaaSs aBfl best fight against Jick cf nr of the coterie that could be sscured on short notice. That Green lived up ts what was ex pecleu of him is proven by the; fight. It was a hard earnest throughout, ard the pole regrettable feature was the fact tnt both men rrepared for the bout upon tuch short notlee that they wre not worked Into the shape either ds!-ed. Both O'Keefe and Green had asked for a couple of davs more time before -nter-Ing the tin, but it was lmrossble to afford them this extension, after the Ujte of the bout had been annunr-d Aa It wa. they put up a tirst-class tight and one that will give the same a good start on the new erles the club lias In prospect. Vnnger has had a w-ek inor of tin: In which to train, nnd will tie up with a hard customer In Kid Abl Thursday. Benny Is in good shape now and should l In perfect trim by Thursday night.

The pugilistic diary has that mectin-; scheduled for Septemb-r S. with Phila delphia the placo where, and sit rtnnds the limited distance. Young McGovern. like Murphy, has fought N!l and fought him well. But his showing was not so gool as that made by Murphy, for which several rea sons and excuses may be advanced. Hughle may not peess y,e coolness; and determination of Murphy and this alone may be taken as an explanation of Itit difference of their fights against tho Uui tam champion. Figure as one may. Murphy anil Mc Govern are well matcned. Both have ben efited by their bouts with Neil; both have ability seldom found In joungstere of their inches, nnd both have backers that will risk cash, chiefly of the hard-earned va riety, on the outcome. That the capacity of t!-e National A. C cf Slowtown. wherein the little lads are to clash, will be taxed, goes almost with out saying. All Harlem will be there to root for Murphy, while Brooklyn will be represented to give the proper encourage ment to the last of the McGoverns. The middle-of-the-road shouters will be on hand to give their plaudits to the "upper dog."

BAKER'S ILL LUCK. Hugh Baker Is having hU share of 111 luck In these latter davp of the season. During the KInloch. Delmar spring and Fair Grounds meetings, his horre-- did es pecially well, but It looks as though the name will be far down in the list of money winners at the current De'i-ar meeting. Broomstick, the arin-ipal money-winner for the stable, and unquestionably one of the greatest ;-jrear-olo stown in the West this year, is on the retired list, and will race no more this season. The Injury which he sustained in Chi cago was more serious than was at tirst believed, and Mr. Baker lias made up his mind that It will be recessary to Are the colt and turn him out. It appar- thit he must have had a fall and strained his hock, and though the lameness disap pears when the colt Is allow ed to rest, even a mild gallop on the track brings It back, hence the nec-.Tlty to apply tha firing Irons. All the other horses In the string are doing poorly, probabiv because of th hard campaigning which they received in the mud In the early part of the season. For this same reason, nearly all the horses which were raced her regularlv ln the spring seem to hxv trained off and the fresh horses now- coming in are getting the money. FIRST MASON'S DEFEAT T; defeat of FirJt Mason by an ordinal-- field at Gravesen,i -a,t Thursday seen to let Beldame stand oat In the l'ght as the horse of the year. It Is a magnificent achievement for a 3-year-old filly, something unprecedented In racing history, still the honor ha3 been falrly earned. She has b-en tried In every branch of tli game and has not been found want ing. Her victory In the Saratoga Cup was criticised because it was won in the muddy golrg. which was said to militate against her opponents and lu her favor. Site discounted this criticism by coming nacK wnn ner impressive victories in th September stakes and in th- tlrst speciil. snowing herself to be a gran 1 race horse under any conditions.

That bsxlng guards for the wrists and arms may be a regular part of prise ring harness in the near future. Is the opinion expressed by Benny Yanger. who flght-s Kid Abel at the West End Club next Thursday night. Yanger believes that many objections to the game have been raised on the ground of the apparent brul'lng which some men seem to undergo In spite of the padded gloves, whereas. In reality, the punishment comes from the forearms and elbows of an opponent. He thinks that everything possible should be done to remove all apparently brutal features from the game, and states that once It Is shown tliat boxing Is a clean and harmless sport for Its partici pants, objections to It will cease. "Because a man bleeds a trifle In the prise ring." said Benny, last wee'k. "many persons seem to think that the sport Is brutal. That's no sign at alL Boxing Is as harmless a game as ever was Invented. Tou never hear of a well-trained man being- hurt. When some rumsoakcd bum gets hurt in the ring the whole game suf fers. To blame the sport for such acci dents Is as unreasonable as to prevent the sale of potatoes because there have lieen Instances of persons choking to death on Ihera. "More persons were killed In one theater lire last, year xnxn ever were killed In the modern American ring's history cf thlrty or forty years. We don't hear any talk about suppressing the theaters, though. But If some bums get In a nght down South or In sob alley, and one sets a bit hurt, there's a wild cry to suppress the game. "Now. therp Is one thing that makes the fighting came appear worse than It is. This Is the blood which often conies even from a well-trained man. A hard Jolt on the nose and mouth will often bring the hlcod In small quantities from ih lest-tralae-1 man that ever stepped in a ling. I helleve that this bleeding is often causM by men gettlns jolted with the elbows, unintentionally, it may be. cr bv belng scraped with the forearms of their opponent. "In some cases a man has used his fore arm or elbow deliberately. To prevent the us of the wrist or elbow In a fight. I think it would be a good thing lo have litht leather pads fastened on the elbow iolnt and to have the gloves continued t-p the forearm of a boxer. Thbi would rnke It useless for him to attempt any laubing wth these points of his arms. "It might be argued that thee pads on the elbews will obstruct the use of the arms. But I can't see It. It the harness Is constructed properly. The same argu ment night be advanced against the gloves which have been In use for so long. If the padding extended only on the citcr surface of the elbow. It need not affect a man's ability. "To continue the gloves beyond the wrist bone would not necessarily Increase their weight. a some padding could be removed from the fists. "This would make the entire hand and forearm a padded weapon Instead of one with projecting points, like those where the wrist and forearm is not covered by the glove. "I don't know that there Is any neces sity for such a change In the ring. B'lt any move that tendu to prevent outcry against the sport on the ground that It Is severe en the participants, will be beno flcia, I am sura." BAAEBtl.l. CAUKBIt OF JlrKIHW. Head or Giants Xot Only n Crent Manager, but Greatest at Players. John J. JIcGraw. manager of the Near York National League baseball teair. msch heralded as the Giants. Ls responsi ble for the maneious article of ball the team has furnished since the season start ed. Mcflraw Is not cn!y a great ma-ger. but he Is also one of the star players of this country, always being regarded as a premier third baseman and a good hitter and base runner. Baseball would rever have been so pep ular at the present day If It had not been for Si Ur.iw's making a winning tesm of tne i..ini. nnat the baseball fans in New York havo wanted for years is a winning team, and that Is Just what JIc Graw has given them. Thousands of peo ple watch the games played by the Glanti this year that never before attended the sport, with the result that the record at tendance for a game has been broken. MeGnw was born In Trntton. N. Y.. and Is 29 years of age. His flm profes sional engagements with the Olean. N. Y.. club In ISM. The fnllonlng sea son he plajed In Cedar Rapid, where the late William Barnie dlrv-nv.red him. Karolo signed the oung plavcr for the Baltimore club In the latter cart of 1531. He was kept as a utility man until It was discovered that he could play as welt as any of the men whose places he filled. From 1S?2 to 1593 JIcGraw was always one or tne leaning ngures in the famoss Oriole team that wen three pennants and finished a close second In three other ears. In 1S99. when the Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs consolidated. .McGraw was given the cast-offs for the Baltimore club. McGraw and his supposed "dubs" set a sizzling pace throughout th- campaign and were the senvitlons of the season. He made a record as n manner thtt vear that has never been excelled. Balti more finishing fourth In the twelve-elu, league In 1P00 the league reduced Its cir cuit to eight clubs, an-l McGraV with his business partner, Wilbcrt nobinsoi. was sold to the St. Iouis club, where JIcGraw played that season. In 1M1 h made the Eastern Invasion of the American league a possibility by organizing the Baltimore club. In IK'l and part of 1!E he managed the Orioles, being engaged In constant dif ficulties with Ban Johnson, president of the American League. In July. ISO, JIcGraw signed to manage the New York club. His battlnc average last year was -Irf per cent with Baltimore and .ITS with New York: fielding .315. AMERICA SCORES IN CYCLE RACING By the end cf another week. CtJich Eoynton of th Washington University expects to have a lire on the team that will play more than a dozen hard games throughout the coming Rugby reason. The team practiced last week at League Park, but only a few of the players were In uniform. In another week It Is ex pected that the majority of lart year's players, together with many new men. y-ho have done service on the gridiron, and who are expected to be a help to the myrtle ard maroon team this season, will be ready to try for the positions. So far only four of the 1STB team have applied. They are Walter Krause. who played tackle: Captain Casseji at center. and captain of this year's team: Seth Smith, wbo served at half back, and Lucky, one of the guards. They were on the field last week and unless there appear players who are cracks, this quartet Is suro of their old positions or ones that will better suit them In 'their playing. The boys who have been at practice are as a whole big. and will undoubtedly form a heavier team than last year's team, al though some who have not appeared are lighter Preliminary practice has consisted of passing the ball, falling on the pigskin, punting, rushing and running a mile or two each afternoon to test the wind of the candidates. Arno Kraue. who played on the 1XZ team, together with Sherman, has again applied for a position, and their playing will likely help the team. Fritz Lehman, late of Harvard University, has joined the lecal university, and with his 1SS pounds will surely land a place. Wallers. Logan and Jlackllnd are rew eomers at the school, but each has had his share of football, and come well rec otrrrended. With these men and mere that ar to come. w. U. will probably have a team that will eclipse all others, as "hey will have to have when they meet such teems as Jllssourl. Illinois and the Haskell Indians. The Haskell Indians will probably have the strongest team r severs, years. Many of the e!a men are coming back and there Is a lot of new material on hand and pros pects are bright. Several men on th team have been play ing the cam for four years and ther ar not subject to the. rules of other coUetes, and a good man may stay as lone aa h pleases. REPORTS FROM KANSAS. Reports from Kansas are to the effect that the prospects are bright for a good team. It Is true that nearly all the men are new. only four members of last year's) team belcg on hand. The old men now on the field are Captain Hicks. Donald, Ackerman and Bruner. Two or thrsa others are expected back scon, among them Pooler, the man who kicked the coal and won the game from Jllssourl Univer sity last ear. Ackerman and Hicks have played two rears but the other two old members) had their Srst regular place en last year's) team. A new coach has charge of the Jay hawkers this year. Coach Weeks decided In the spring to give up the position, and his place was taken by Bert Kennedy, an old K. U. man. wbo has coached smaller teams. DE WITT TO TAKE CHARGE. John R- DeWItt of last season's cham pionship team, will probably take actrra part In the coaching of tho Princeton team when the regular call for tho mem Is) made. The candidates have been on th field for about an hour and a half each daj- under the direction of Coaches) Holt and Davis. They have been sent through the preliminary work, and havo gon through a few formations) that will bo used this fall. There ls a husky bunch of football play ers In the Incoming classes, and the) coaches have their hands full weeding them out and selecting the most promis ing material. Up to this time the work of tho candi date s has been purely voluntary, but tho largo number of players that havo donned their uniforms already speaks well for the popularity of football at the Tiger college. Their first scheduled game, ls with Dickinson next Wednesday after noon. PENNSTIA'ANIA'S SHOWTXOv In scrimmage work tho University of Pennsylvania players have shown to bat ter advantage In offensive than defensive, although nothing particularly brilliant has been done In either line. The coaches are Insisting on tho funda mentals and havo not attempted much to the line of team play. Zllllgm has been placed at fall back and Smith has been placed at this position oa the scrub team. Stevenson, who has shown up well in practice, cot bis first chance at quarter back on tho. 'Tarslty.
