weigh anchor was run up to the top of
the Brook1yns military mast. Thirty
minutes later smoke was curling from
the ships and they were blowing the
sea at a rate of Is knots.
Hundreds of people, mostly the guests
at the hotels, including the wives and
daughters of the officers of the ships,
stood on the dock and waved God-speed
to the men who were going to do battle
for their country. After passing through
the capes the Scorpion took the lead,

a reliable source. The ships passed the
capes at 7:15 o'clock. After reaching
the open sea, the vessels took the mid

The cruisers Minneapolis and New Or

auxiliary cruiser ST. Paul, which is still

MAHER KNOCKED OUT
BY an Accidental Blow Joe Goddard
Disposes of Him in Less Than
Two Minutes.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 14-Pugilistic
history was made very rapidly in the
arena last night, when, in one minute
and ffty-one seconds of combined spar
ring and fighting, Joe Goddard, the
Barrier Champion retired Peter Ma
her, with sort of pivot punch, which
was delivered so suddenly that hardly a
spectator realized what had come off
Up to the time he received his quietus
Maher looked like a winner. What few
punches had been landed were in his
favor.
AS a matter of fact, Goddard landed
the punch which proved so disastrous
to Peter while trying to escape from one
of the 1atter's vigorous onslaughts near
the ropes.
1t was evident that Goddard was in
the better physical condition of the two.
He looked pounds lighter than upon the
occasion of his memorable encounter
with Peter before, at Coney Island, and
displayed a stiffness of foot that was
surprising in one of his years.
There was the usual fiddling at the
opening and no end of feinting, both
men being apparently DESTROYS of draw
ing the other into a lead. Maher took
the initiative, essaying left handler,
which fell short. Goddard also tried the
Goddard, however, invariably followed
up his lefts with his right toward the
body, which saved him from at least
one good stiff counter.
Maher finally landed with his left
hand on Goddard's jaw. Goddard swung
for the body and landed, but it did not
amount to much, and a clinch followed.
AS soon as the men broke away, Ma
her again took the offensive, landing
with his long left on Goddard's face, the
barrier champion retaliating with the
right on the body. Maher rushed Cod
dard to the ropes. There was slight
mix up.
Suddenly Goddard, who appeared to
be breaking away, brought his right
around in a backward movement. The
end of his glove caught Maher about
the face, whether on the jaw, where
Goddard says it did, on the cheek
bone, where Maher says it did, will pro-
baby be never revealed. As Maher re-
ceived the punch, he was partly tripped
by Goddard whose right foot was COW
ering one of Makers. Peter fell face
forward striking the floor with a great
deal of force.
When Maher went down the specta-
tors thought it was only an ordinary
knockdown, but the referee tolled off
the fateful ten seconds, and Maher was
still on the floor. Tt was fully ten sec
onds beyond that time before he rose to
his feet The time of the fight was just
one minute and fifty-one seconds.
