Narrow Escape From Injury
Superior Footwork During Willard-Morris Fight Saves
William Joh From Bodily Harm While He Im
plores Alleged Pugilists to Really Land on
Each Other ; They Just Wished Their
Swings Well and Let Them Go.
BY DAMOJf
NEW YORH.Iec. 9. Williams Joh,
the well known boxlns referee,
had a. -very narrow escape from
serious injury at Madison Square Gar
den, coming' off unharmed only through
superior footwork, but he lost only
his respect for prize fighters and es
teems himself quite fortunate at that
Mr. Joh "wsas caught in the same
ring with Jess Willard and Carl Mar
ns, two of the largest and loosest
White Hopes known to science, who
were spilled all over the Garden arena,
for a space of 30 minutes, during
which time no1 one could do a thing
about it.
It was decidedly a thrilling expe
rience for Mr. Joh, because there wera
frequently moments when it appeared
certain that either Morris or Willard
would fall on Mr. Joh and squash him.
Then, too, there were times when a
wild swing might have struck Mr.
Joh in the Jaw, for all Mr. Joh knew,
or for all either Morris or JVillard
knew, either, for that matter.
They did not fe that it was their
business to exercise control over their
swings after they had started them.
They just wished their swings well
and let 'em go, and Mr. Joh had to
do the dodging.
Referee Show Garaeness.
It must be said for the referee that
he is a game fellow. He is almost as
game as the Boxing commission whii
sanctioned the meeting f Messrs.
Morris and Willard, althouxh it is
understood that the commissioners all
feel duly apologetic about the natter
now.
However, they did not have to risk
tfcrir lives as did Mr. Joh.

official figaree give the amount of the

accepted a guarantee of 23 percent of
the gate amounting to $1500. one-third
more than the purse drawn by the real
drawing card of the show.
Ad Wolgast and Charlie White will
clash in a 10 round bout at Mil
waukee, on Dec. 18. Nate Lewis, man
ager of the Chicagoan completed ar
rangements for the contest after a
fruitless effort to re-match White
with Johnny Dundee in Chicago. Ru

demanded a larger guarantee were
downed when the match was made.

the Federal league has been able to

Stanley Ketchel was the greatest
middleweight that ever denned a pair
of gloves, according to Billy Papke,
the Kewanee "thunderbolt" Papke
declared that Ketchel was the most
tremendous and accurate hitter he
ever met. while Hugo Kelly was the
greatest for speed and skill. The Ke
wanee middleweight has never gotten
over the' wallop with which Ketchel
knocked him cold in 190S.
When Willie Ritchie changed the
lightweight limit to 135 "pounds the

understand the matter, was to make
George Rodel, the Boer from Au
stralia, as he was introduced by Joe
Humphreys, champion of something
or other. We understand this from
James Johnston, manager of the
Boer, who was haunting the Garden,
claiming the title for his charge. Mr.
Johnston' says that Willard won, and
as Rodel beat Willard in Milwaukee,
that makes Rodel champion.
Willard Wins Fight.
It may be that Willard won, as Mr.
Johnston says. He was the least of
two pronounced evils, anyway, al
though the audience seemed to feel
that there ought to be some law cov
ering both of the parties implicated
in the proceedings.
Nothing said above must be taken
as detracting from the efforts of Mr.
Joh, however. The referee took his
life in his hands and implored the
gpnts to fight. Frequently he bur
rowed between them like a mole and
undermined their most fervent clinches,
but nothing much came of it.
They say Morris has improved -J,ftftO-per
cent. One shudders to think what
he "was. He came on weighing 234 1-4
pounds, or maybe !t was tons, and
above his 3. V. D's his wsist line
Quivered in the cold glare of the
calcium. Willard weighed 235 3-4 1
pounds, hut they were distributed over
somewhat more altitude and were not
so noticeable. When the grand total
for -weight got Spread out over the
rmg the result was quite inspiring. It
inspired the gallery to jeers and it in
spired large numbers of persons to
leave the premises before their time
was up. William Joh could not leave.
This is said injustice to Mr. Joh, so
that no one will think he stayed there
of his own accord.
Both are reported as having refused
the offers.

Tuesday morning, after being delayfed

Tommy O'Rourke Is a wonderful ln
fighter. This was the verdict of as
sembled boxing critics Monday after
noon when they witnessed the north
ern lightweight go through his Initial
boxing workout, preparatory to the
Thorpe contest, Dec 14 at Juarez. Eddie
Duffey, an asslmllator of note, donned
the gloves for two rounds with
O'Rourke, at the end of which the visi
tor's right eye was bleeding, the result
of a collision with Duffeys head. In
fighting is O'Rourke's strongest as
set. In the clinches, the northerner
pounded Duffeys midriff section with
straight right and lefts, varying with
left and right uppercuts to the Jaw
and face. Thorpe has the cleverness
and punch to hold O'Rourke at distance.
but the aggressive Memphis boxer
shows as well at distance as in the
clinches. A left hook to the jaw and
a left uppercut at distance are both
qualities of O'Rourke. His punches
appear to have the necessary steam be

Britton fought McFarland to a stand

only in flashes.
The crowd jeered the boxers much of
the time and there were cries of "put
'em out; stop the bout." It was an
nounced that Britton weighed 135 at
3 oclock. McFarland's weight was not
announced, but it was reported he

ancient rivals, will clash In the four

work with O'Rourke. while Patrick
will In all probability train with
"Fighting" Thorpe. Spinner Is work
ing with O'Rourke while Gene will
either box with Thorpe or on Stanton

Gene is a clever little boxer, who would
make a good sparring partner. Little
is known of the ability of Patrick,
except that he claims to have knocked
oat Al Higgins, of Roswell, in one
round. Gordon has participated In a
number of shows at Juarez and is a
hard hitting aggressive fighter.
Joe Herrlck has postponed his pro

being made to secure a match for Joe

Herrlck left Tuesday morning for Col
