BOXER TRIES
TO FEIGN A
KNOCKOUT
Referee Mckinley Declares
the Vickers-Ryan Bout
mo Contest"

The second boxing exhibition of the
Columbia Athletic Club held last night
was made up of four exciting bouts and
a fifth which was stopped by the referee.
Charles Nickers. one of the principals in
this contest. tried his best TO lose. but
his awkward attempts 10 pose as a de-
feated man excited the derision of the
spectators and he was Kissed out of the
ring.
His bout with James RYAN was sched-
uled as the principal event on the pro-
gramme. The men hardly came together
when those In attendance saw that Wick
ers was not lighting. He was clumsy
railing repeatedly before he was hit and
showing none OF the aggressiveness which
has always marked his work During the
intervals Of rest he sat as II in a stupor.
Ine second round was of the same char
acter as the first and the spectators were
on their feet yelling at Referee Mckinley
TO call all bets of.
He let the men box a small portion of
the third round and seeing no change in
Nickers tactics declared the bout mo

be placed on his actions last night He

was poor faker, as he could not restrain
his laughter when he was down and time

The shortest bout OF the evening was
between Jack" Moss and Eugene Field.
The latter was knocked out in one min
ute. Moss. VINO halls from Angels Camp,

he was attacked at once with stage fright.
When the bell sent them together Field
was 10th TO move, but Moss lost no time
getting into action. He chased Field
around the ring and after two circuits OF
the padded floor nailed him in corner.
II was some time before Fieid came to
and was assisted from the ring.
The bout between Joe" Long and Char
lie Thurston lasted only five rounds.

the third and fourth rounds, but could
not stop him. Long was unwilling 10

three fast rounds Just before the finish
OF the third round Porter was knocked
down and twisted his ankle out of place
which ended his usefulness.
The only bout 10 20 the limit was be-
tween Kid Finnerty and joe O'Leary
The latter was tall and spidery and looked
anything but a boxer He had a clever
opponent away from him. In the eighth
round the boys fought themselves TO a
standstill and had no steam in their
blows. The referee awarded the bout to
Finnerty on points, although il could have
been draw.
The gymnasium in which the bouts were
held was crowded to the doors.

NEW YORK. Dec. THE leaders in the
six-day bicycle race at Madison Square
Garden at midnight tonight were rs
miles ahead OF the record made when ir-
dividual scores and almost continuous rid
ing were the rule. The fairest comparison
which would be made between the Did
style. riding as individuals, and the new
style Of TWO riders alternating is that OF
the Miiler-Waller combination results
made this week as contrasted with the
results 5btaned by Miller a year ago
The MillerWaller combination was Z7S
miles ahead of Miller's record at mid
night.
McEachern has developed a severe at
tack of tonsilitis and his physicians are
watching him carefully. Aside from this
he is riding very strongly and his team is
regarded as a dangerous one 10 the lead
ers.

Coaches Cochran and Kelly are still at

A new scheme. but without any authori-

taken in hand the organization of an
eleven sufficiently strong TO give them a
