cHoYNsK1 THE WINNER
Knocked Out Australian Jimmy Ryan
In Seventh Round.

Now York, Oct. 21.-Joe Choynski, of
California, whipped Jimmy Ryan, OF
Australia in the seventh round or their
fight last night at the Broadway Atm
letfc club Choynski was far the clev-
erer and the result was expected Ryan
was outpointed from the first tap OF the
gong, and when the knockout came
Choynski was as fresh as when he pc
gan Ryan's previous showing with
Choynsl1i, with whom he stayed twenty
rounds, made some people bet even
money that Ryan would stay the limit
this time. But the money they bet was
badly invested as Ryan never had a
possible show when it came to nara
work.
In the opening round Choynski Kept
forcing with the left on the face and
Ryan remained on the defensive
throughout, scoring only one left hand
punch on the face. ChOynsl<f kept 1ab-
over three times, twice to the eye and
once to the mouth. Ryan tried to DO
something at close quarters, but Choyn-
ski blocked every lead.
The third round was simply a repeti-
ton of the second. Ryan opened the
fourth with a rush. sending a right
swing to the jaw. He then tried a lett
to the body, but Joe Strengthened him
up VITA a hard left on the face. Ryan
did some clever lodging, but his at
tempts to land were Intellectual. This
was also Choynski's round.
In the fifth Ryan swung his right to
a clean punch, while Joe kept up a con-
tinuous jabbing of left on the face
Ryan began with a straight left on
the face in the sixth and they exchang-
ed left swings on the head. Joe jabbed
a left to the mouth and nose, drawing a
little blood. Ryan fought gameIy, but
his face was badly battered when he re-
turned to his corner, where they mixed
it up early in the seventh. but Choyn-
ski soon sent his opponent to the floor
with a right on the jaw. Ryan got up
inside the limit, but went down again
from another right on the mark. After
reviving from this blow, Ryan saved
himself from being counted out by
clean margin, but when he regained his
feet he was so groggy that there was
no possible chance of his fighting any
longer. Choynski went to him without
a seconds delay and swung his right
once to the mark and Ryan went down
on his hand and knees. He lay in that
position as if he were paralyzed. The
referee counted the Australian out and
declared Choynski the winner.
Time of round, 2:35.

SIGNING BALL PLAYERS.
Cincinnati the Only Club Which
Seems to Be Indifferent

Chicago, Oct. 21.-John T. Brush,
seemingly, is the only one of the league
the rival league talk. Brush, according
to the Cincinnati players, was asked to
sign a contract for next season
The rest of the clubs were busy Sc
curing signatures of players before the
season closed. The Chicago club Sc
cured a few, but the stars of the team
withheld their signatures. Callahan
refused to be tempted by a big increase
in salary, and Donahue failed to call at
the office and sign after he had been
requested. Indeed, the management
sent out letters to all the players, noti-
fving them they were reserved, and
calling their particular attention to the
reserve clause in their contracts.
The St. Louis crowd has little faith
in the new league, and all but four
signed contracts before the team dis
banded. Powell, O'Connor, Blake, and
Wallace declined to sign, not because
they believe in the new league, but be-
