S. Farnsworth, noted sports writer, of Jim Corbett’s knockout victory over Charley Mitcheel, British titleholder, in the third round of their internatonal battle at aJcksonville, Fla., on Jan uary 25, 1896.) By W. S. FARNSWORTH (Copyright, 1933, by International News Service) The great international fight took exactly nine minutes to decide. In that brief period the American put the “English Buffer” to sleep. And in the same time “Gentleman Jim” became world’s champion and added the $20,000 winner-take all purse to his bankroll. As soon as the fight was over,’ the principals were arrested by | the State authorities. Prize fight ing was barred in Florida, but the promoters saw to it there was no interference until the bout was completed. Bitter Feeling There was bitter feeling be tween the men, which was plainly evident when Referee Kelly called them together for instructions and gave them words of advice about breaking away at his order. “You will now shake hands,” “Honest John” told them. Neither man obeyed, however. Again came the request for the formal sign of amity. But the fighters stood like stone men. There was no “shake.” In the second round Corbett landed a terrific right to the tem ple and Mitchell was knocked flat on his back. Corbett lost his head for a minute. He was so eager to get at his adversary that he started to punch him while he was down. But the restraining hand of the referee saved him. When the third round opened Mitchell responded very slowly. He appeared to be stiff and sore. Corbett sprang at him and rushed him into a cor ner. Corbett Smashes Foe He punched Charlie in the nose, drawing blood. Then he swung his ponderous left to the jaw and Mitchell dropped. Charlie ’was dazed and wanted to nurse his ten seconds. This seemed to mad den Corbett. He wanted to get at his victim, but his seconds jumped into the ring and drag ged him away. The instant Mitchell was up Corbett was at him, smashing him in the mouth, causing blood to gush from his mouth and nostrils. Beaten. bleeding, Mitchell slowly turned on the floor and staggered to his feet. Corbett sensed the final moment for a knockout had arrived. Swinging a terrific right hand, he smashed Mitchell on the jaw. The English man fell heavily on his side, rolled over on his face senseless and knocked out.

Corbett are Pat O’Con nor, prominent local ring official and bondsman, and Detective Dick Cox. both of whom were in timate friends of the deceased former world’s champion who al ways visited with them on his various visits to Washington. ~ Pat O’Connor today said of Corbett; “One of the smartest and cleanest fighters who ever pulled on a glove and the man who did more than any other to remove boxing from the half-world to the state where it was followed by the best people.” Detective’Cox s tribute to Cor bett was: “He was my ideal when I was a boy and since I’ve been grown I never had any reason to remove him from the ped estal.” Local theatrical folk also had high praise for Corbett’s career both in the ring and on the stage.

Late special—Sweet Chariot Fifth race at Fair Grounds GALLAUDET ININ IS FEATURE Intercollegiate athletic teams of the District and viiinity are today celebrating three wins and tie, as against two losses, in contests of the week end. Victories were registered by George Washington University’s Colonial basketers, by Maryland’s floor team and by Gallaudet’s quint. Maryland’s boxers escaped from their Western Maryland boxing meet with a tie. Navy’s boxing team lost to Virginia and Georgetown’s five lost to Car negie Tech. G. W. won its eighth straight game, winning in a breeze over St. John’s. 46 to 22; Maryland took a hot game from the ’Ter rors from Westminster, 37 to 32; Gallaudet’s quint won over Quan tico Marines 37-31. Forced to forfeit two matches of eight bcuts scheduled, because of disagrement as to use of fresh man boxers, Western Maryland showed a fine sextet of ringmen who won four bouts out of six actually fought against Mary land mittsters. While the books carry the result as a tie. the Terrors proved altogether too good for the Terps in the bouts fought, and lost one by a mere shade. Virginia’s boxers gave Navy’s ringmen a real trouncing, the final count being 5 to 3. Some ringside enthusiasts felt that Vir ginia should have won by a 6-to -2 count. Georgetown’s quint came off second best in its game with Carnegie Tech which marked the second invasion of Pittsburgh by the Hoyas. The final count was 32 to 27. Trailing seven points at half time, the Hilltonpers fell short of victory when Tech nip ped a blossoming rally toward the close jof the game. WHIRLWINDS PLAY The Whirlwinds tackle the Army War College tossers tonight at 8 o’clock in the latter’s gym. ■The National Daily ‘FLU’AFFECTEEJ SCHAAF BRAIN NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Ernie Schaaf was suffering from in flammation of the brain when he encountered Primo Camera in the Madison Square Garden box ing ring on February 10, and his condition “interfered with Schaaf’s boxing skill sq that he was less able to avoid blows.” This is the conclusion of Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical ex aminer, who today made public his report on the autopsy and microscopic examination of the brain of Schaaf, who died last Tuesday. James J. Daly, assist ant district attorney, who con ducted an investigation following Schaaf’s death, will get Dr. Nor ris’ report today. Dr. Norris’ report places no blame.- Explaining possible ab sence of any symptoms of the inflammation when Schaaf was examined by Dr. William Walker, on the afternoon of the bout, it says: “The deceased had a chronic or sub acute meningoencephal itis characterized by lympho cytic infiltration around the blood vessels in the sub arachnoid space and the ad jacent cortex. The cause of the inflammation cannot be known with certainty, but it may be referred to the recent attack of influenza with a reasonable degree of proba bility. “The meningo-encephalitis ob viously antedated the boxing match, but because of its in sidious development it would not necessarily give symptoms and would have been highly improbable to detect at the time before the bout. In the ring, however, it interfered with Schaaf’s boxing skill so that he was less able to avoid blows.” MONDAY—FEBRUARY 20—1933 RIDE YOUR DOUGH WITH JOCKEY JOE Baltimore Resumes Pin Feud With D. C. In G. W. Test By GINO SIMI Baltimore and Washington duckpin bambinos will re sume their ancient feud Wednesday in the George Washing ton duckpin sweepstakes which starts at 11 o’clock at Lucky Strike. At least a half dozen of Balti more’s foremost exponents of the maple-walloping pastime are cer tain to toe the foul line when the whistle blows and there is a likelihood that the number may be increased to ten. The Monumental City has de veloped a flock of first class sweepstakes bowlers in the past two years and, results show there is little to chose between them. Andy Zeiler is the latest to work himself to the top in this branch of duckpin-mauling. Andy won the Baltimore City Sweep stakes, the annual blue ribbon classic of the Maryland metro polis last year with a record 20- game total. He backed this per formance un by grabbing the first Maryland State Sweepstakes in December. Money Shooters In both of these events he had to contend against Ray Barnes and Ray Von Dreele. deemed two of the country’s most powerful “money” shooters. > In the Maryland Sweepstakes the field also included Henry Hiser, Bethesda’s great ‘ “cash” grabber, and Bill Arnold, An napolis’ sensational performer, and winner of the Ray Barnes Classic and the National Singles crown last year. Zeiler is restrained by his work from taking part in out-of-town major events. But Wednesday, a legal holiday, will give him a chance to sally forth. Von Dreele and Barnes, both entries last year, are sure repeat ers. Arnold, of Annapolis, too. is expected. George Lang, a veteran top-notcher and a feared “money” oerformer. may essay a comeback role in this event. Joe Della, Baltimore's premier Italian roller, who came through with a brilliant 683 set in a spe cial match at Temple Saturday, is another Oriole who is expected to appear at the Lucky Strike early Wednesday. Herman Kullick, who almost succeeded in snatching victory out of the jaws of defeat for Poehl man in their match against Occi dental recently with a 647 set. is another and dangerous prospective entry. Three Youngsters Charlie Bauer. Meyer Jacobson and Dawson Snyder, three young sters who have come to the fore in the past two years and are ac quitting themselves in sensational manner, may also make the trip. Sam Cunningham, Frank Keyes, Wilmer Robey. Otto Klatt, Hap Franz. Percy Baker, Willie Hamil ton, Ned Hom. Henry Miller, ’rer non Buckingham. Frank Welzen bach and Carl Eissele are other crack Monumental City naple ad dicts who may help swell Wednes day’s entry list. The entry fee is small for an event of major importance, only sls per man, and, with a chance of pocketing around $l5O for one day’s work and the opportunity of gaining wide renown, many a bril liant but timid bowler is expected to thaw out his “cold feet.” Entries will be accepted up to starting time of the first block— -11 o’clock. The second block will be at 3 o’clock and the f inal at 8. Mamaux Is Tendered Honor at Fox Theater Baseball players of the Griff men now assembled in Washing ton to depart for Biloxi tomorrow were to be guests of the Fox The ater tonight in tribute to Al Ma maux, Newark manager and former Pittsburgh and Brooklyn star pitcher, doing a turn this week on the stage of the local theater. Mamaux’s specialty is a singing number and for his Washington appearance does an Irish medley dedicated to Al Schacht. Mamaux is noted. throughout baseball circles for his splendid voice and wherever men of the diamond foregather, Al is selected to lead the roundelays. His hit this week is “It’s a Girl!" Local Golfers Taboo Big Cup By GEORGE A. SIMPSON The reign of the 8-inch golf cups here is due for a short life. Given their trials at the Ban nockburn Country Club and Rock Creek Park yesterday, there appeared slight sentiment for these craters in the greens. Practically every good golfer and most of the duffers vetoed Gene Sarazen’s suggestion. McGuire in Accord Bill McGuire, one of the better players at Rock Creek Park, was totally in accord with the bigger cups. As an example, he scored 35 on B course, where the 8-inch cups have been installed, and 34 on A course, where the standard 4’/4-inch cups remain untouched. Nick Altrock, who bows to few putters hereabouts, sees no ad vantage in the larger cups. As Tony Sylvester, Bannock burn pro, says: “We’ll keep the 8-inch cups until the golfers tire of them.” Bannockburn put the 8-inch cups on its last nine. The 8 inch cups lasted but three days at East Potomac Park, being tried out on Course D. They met with such general disfavor that S. G. Leoffler, course operator, ordered them removed late Sat urday night and the regular cups were returned for play early yes terday morning. Sarazen himself has discovered the 8-inch proposition is out of proportion to all golf theory,and has retracted. He has dropped down to 6 inches Within a month’s time he’ll probably an nounce the 4 1 /4-inch cups are O. K. HALLYSCDRES DUCKPIN ININ BALTIMORE, Feb. 20.—Con vention Hall, District League lead ers, proved their mettle when they staged a whirlwind finish to snatch the decision from the Recreation Happy Five in the bowling carnival at the Recre ation here yesterday in which Washington men and women bowlers won seven out of ten matches. Convention Hall jumped to a 101 pin lead in the first game with a 686, but the plugging Orioles kept whitting down the margin as the invaders faltered badly until they had assumed a 54-pin lead themselves at the end of the fourth game. Then the Hallmen showed their class with all five men clicking like champions, they piled up a 662 game to win by 25 pins. N. E. Temple came away with ever-deepening respect for the bowling prowess of Charlie Bauer, whose 428 total for his final three games and 655 set, the highest of the carnival, featured the defeat of Washingtonians suffered at the hands of the Recreation Juniors. Ollie Pacini managed to save Temple from a shut-out when he won the Central-South Atlantic newspaper championship from Herman Kullick. Pacini and Red Megaw bowed to Meyer Jacobson and Dawson Snyder in the doubles. SCHAINUCK'O CLOTHES \ 2 FOR THE PRICE OF I W 11 MOUND ARTISTS NEEDED DI PHILS Editor’s note—This is one in a series of articles by Pat Robinson analysing the major league ball dubs and outlining their prospects or the year. Bv PAT ROBINSON Internntloniil News Service Sport* Writer It’s the same old story with the Phillies this year — they need pitchers more than a chorine needs make-up. Two more pitchers of the right sort and the Phils would be a cinch to win the pennant. But they must be the right kind of pitchers. It takes more than a "ood pitcher to win in that dinky band box the Phillies call a ball park. Dazzy Vance would have been a flop there and he knew it. That's why the speed ball artist didn’t pitch there for years. A tap and his fast ball became a homer. Depend on Rhem Old Pete Alexander was a suc cess there because he had phe nomenal control and could keep the ball at the hitters’ knees. I don’t believe Carl Mays and his underhand delivery ever lost a game there. Cy Moore, of the Yanks, would go great there with his sinker ball. The Phils will depend on Flint Rhem, if the kidnapers don’t get him again. Phidgety Phil Collins, Roy Hansen. Big Jim Elliott, as long as his tummy behaves, and a strange assortment that includes Dudley, Holley, Liska, Pearce, Pick rel and Grabowski. That’s the sad side of the pic ture. The happy side envisions a slow but hard-hitting catcher, a dazzling infield and a fine out field. featuring Chick Klein, the greatest outfielder in the coun try. Nothing need be said about Klein. He's almost a whole ball club by himself. Hal Lee would be one of the stars of the game if somebody could inject a little hot pepper in his shoes. Chick Fullis and Zuggie Dugas proba bly will alternate in the other out field spot. Finn Will Help Last year the Phils had three parts of a great infield. There was a gap at second, but this has been plugged with the addition of Mickey Finn, who is smart and aggressive, and a wonderful pivot man on a double play. With the brilliant Bartell beside him. the Phils will kill many a budding .ally via the double play route. Hurst at first is a topnotcher. and Whitney at third is surpassed only by Pie Traynor, of the Pi rates. and many rate him even above Pie. The team’s pitching is too weak for a pennant winner, but it is the most powerful club in the league and any time it gets a de cently pitched game it will make life miserable for anv other club, be none. DIST. LOOP ADDS ANOTHER GLASS An unlimited edition has been added to the newly organized Dis trict Baseball League, President V. M. Lawrence announced today. Winfree Johnson, secretary of the District A.A.U.; Jack Whitely, athletic director of the Costello Post; Lou Steiner, well known fisherman: Bob McCormick, of the News sports department; Sid Katz nell, of The Washington Times sports department and Pat Divver, former star basebailer, will com pose the advisory board.
