LYNCH WANTED NOBODY BUT
THE BAD MAN.

Long Green Andy Lawrence, managing
editor of the Examiner, true to his black
mailing, bulldozing instincts, after having
been exposed for his unfair treatment of
the Tufts.Lyons baseball team attempted
to force Manager Aschner to write a re-
traction of the charges against him. Upon
Aschner refusing to do so the managing
editor informed Mr.. Aschner that his
team would get the worst or it hereafter.
In other words the team was to be bull
dozed by the Examiner.
This episode is in keeping with a news
paper which when the citizens of Pasa-
dena few days ago declined to subscribe
the money required by the Examiner for
write-up of that town published a fake
dispatch to the effect that the town had
been devastated by cyclone, thus ho ing
to iniure the people Of Pasadena by soaring
immigration and capital away from it.,
1t has been ascertained that between 8
and o'clock of the evening of the fight a
tip was given out to few favored indi-
yiduals to the effect that Sharkey would
be awarded the victory, right or wrong,
aud that Fitzsimmons would be done up,
not by Sharkey, but by the decision.
Those who were so fortunate as TO receive
rooms and placed their money on Sharkey
so that they might hedge out of the bet.
The tip proved to be correct.
| Peop,e are now asking why was Sharkey
kept an hour in the dressing-room. and
| why the press reporters and many physi-
clans among the spectators were not al
| lowed to examine him2
II is argued that if Sharkey were fouled
IL ;z.-, =
allowed to inspect the injury the better it
would be for Sharkey, as there would then
be no doubt whatever ss to the foul. If
this course had been pursued no one
would have enjoined the stake money,
and there would have been no dispute in
the courts.
Attorney Kowalsky said to-day that he
had ten or eleven witnesses to prove the
existence of the conspiracy and the fact
that carp had been chosen as a suitable
tool to do their bidding. He added that
the evidence would be stronger and more
direct than any that had yet been offered
in court
Julian said to CALL reporter that the
witnesses would show the connection of
Long Green Lawrence with conspiracy,
and the fact that it was he who had in
duced Gibbs to secure the appointment of
Bodyguard carp as referee.
1t Will be shown also by the best of evil
dence that Dan Lynch told the sporting
editor of one of the newspapers before the
fight that the Sharkey crowd would OBJ
ject to every referee that might be named
by the Fitzsim mons people, and that they
would have referee OF their own choos-
ing appointed by the club.
The following named gentlemen were
proposed to Lynch as suitable material
out of which referee might be chosen:
Hiram Cook, Lem Fulda, Eddie Graney,
Robert Macarthur, w. w. Naughton, AL
Herford and Billy Jordan. Each of these
gentlemen is we'll known and has good
reputation for honesty and integrity.
But that was not the Kind of referee
that Lynch and Long Green wanted.
They had carp up their sleeve and were
determined to play him for ali he was
worth.
Concerning the fight and the moral 10 be
deduced from it, Hugh Keough has the
following to say in the New Orleans Item:
Boxing has been killed on the coast at the
outset of its second boom. 1t was hoped that
when the promoters of the game were granted
a measure of license after a long period OF en-
forced idleness they would avoid the mistakes
that closed San Francisco to the glove men
four years ago. But they haven't. The same
grasping greed, the same old meretrcious spirit
and the same old subversion of honesty to
serve selfish ends; the same unscrupulous
grafters who ran sick man to his death
against Dal Hawkins merely because there
