Il had been troubled some time with
my heart, which did not feel right. This
trouble grew worse steadily
Sometimes it would beat fast and at
other times very slowly so that would

MYSTERIOUS" B|LLY'S VICTORY
DEFEATS CHARLEY M'KEEVER
AT NEW YORK.
Sharkey Makes Talk Claiming Sill
er's Decision In Late Fight Was
Unfair.

New York, Nov. S-"Mysterious'
Billy Smith defeated Charley McKeev-
er of Philadelphia in a twenty round
bout at catch weights at the Broadway
Athletic club tonight Smith weighed
145 pounds and his opponent tipped the
scales at about the same weight. Both
men were in prime condition and the
fight was fast and interesting from
start to finish.
McKeever used his left to good ad-
vantage in the opening rounds, sending
straight labs to the face and neck, and
was equally clever at close quarters
as Smith. McKeever put a straight left
on the mouth in the eleventh and drew
first blood by cutting Smiths eye with
another left Jab. Smith replied with a
similar blow. which raised lump over
McKeever's left eve. From this point
Smith. who had had the worst of it,
began to improve. McKeever came out
of miX-up in the sixteenth round with
cut under his right eye. McKeever
jabbed his left on the Jaw. but had the
worst of the hard in-fighting which
followed.
In the nineteenth round there was
some vicious work on both sides and
in a half clinch Smith threw Mac from
him, the Philadelphia man going to
the floor. where he remained nine sec
ondS on one knee. Many persons cried
Foul" on account of Smiths work.
but the referee paid no attention to
them.
In the final round Smith was very
aggressive and put it all over his OPP
ponent, and the referee declared Smith
the winner. Smith was the favorite,
odds of 100 to so and 1G5 to so being laid
on his chances.
Tom Sharkey was introduced after
the second preliminary. and in response
to several calls for a speech, said:

High School Cannot Get Games

Manager Leonard of the high school

trouble-he can't get games for his
team. No sooner are they arranged
than they are called OFF for some rea-
son. The game scheduled for Nov Is
with Collegiate Destitute has been post
poned at the instance of the institute
manager.
The reason for rhis action is that
several of the men were hurt in the
game which the collegiates played W tn
the Y. NJ. c. A, and that they will not
be in a condition to play on the date
aat mad been arranged. They said,
90, that the game that they had ar
ranged for tomorrow would in all prob
ability be called off with the All Hal
lows college. Leonard then went to All
Hallows and asked to be allowed to fill
the date of the collegiates. should they
not be able to play. The reply was
that one of the All Hallows boys was
in the hospital as a result of the last
game that they played with the SOL
diers, and the college boys did not feel
as though they ought to play with one
man missing Leonard then went to the
first university team for a game with
them, but could get no date arranged.
The only game that the high school has
is one with the Ogden high school.
