LOU HOUSEMAN'S STORY.

Lou HouSeman writes the following story about one of the scraps in Chi cagO: The diSgraceful row ensuing on the decision of Referee Fallon at the Star theater shows the utter lack of discipline exercised by managers of clubs in America. Such thing never would have been permitted in an ln- stitution like the National club of Lon don. l understand that Harry Forbes, the brother of one of the principals in the bout which precipitated the riot ill embryo, has been barred out of the club quarters. A few such steps will undoubtedly have the proper stay ing effects on club ruttianism. The game is in a bad enough way without further slnirchfng it from within. Manager Carroll may have erred in permitting Fallon to referee the bout. Patsy, who should know as much about the art of refereeing as any one, was hardly in shape to pass judgment on any sort of contest Friday night. His decision of draw was a bad one. This, however, did not justify Forbes in his assault on the referee. The mat ter might have been adjusted by a reversal of the decision at the hands of the club management. -I In the final between Sullivan and 1anger there was not enough margin either way to warrant d verdict other than draw Sullivan did most of the forcing, but this, as 1 have always maintained, does not entitle q boxer to any con sideration. Tommy Ryan has won most of his battles by making his op ponent do the forcing. and then win ming with counters or feinting his wis a-vie into Jumping up against his Ryan'sl own extended left. Sullivan was somewhat of a disappointment. His showing against Yanger was hard rly as good as when he met Buddy Ryan. His left was slow and wild, while his right appears to lack all distance judgment. That Sullivan should have won over George Dixon demonstrates just how far Little Chocolate'' has gone back. The Dixon who whipped Cal Mccarthy, Tommy White, and Eddie Santry could have disposed of a couple of Sullivans one after the other in the same ring. The more I see of the present day feather weights the greater my admiration grows for the wonderful little boxer from Boston. Ranger may some day make a. champion, but if he does he will have to go forward approximate ly as fast as Dixon has gone back. One lone, straight left-handed punch was all that Yanger was able to land on his re-topped adversary. The lit tie fellow, however, eXcelled at short arm work, and in roughing it with
 Sullivan he showed that he has lots of strength and knows how to husband
 it. a,8
 BERNSTEIN USES zJAWBREAKERS
 Joe Bernstein. the champion of the Ghetto, is now in Louisville, training for a bout with McGovern tomorrow When Joseph was asked some, ques- tions about McGovern. he is said to have replied: ''The secret of Terry liMcGovern's success is his wonderful physical ability, nothing more nor less There is no element of psychology about McGovern. He is a fighter pure and simple. That is. the result of the analysis of his styles" One shudders to think what would happen to Joey | Bernstein ifsthez attempted to explei- the word "psychology' on the east sidt l of New York If Joe really made tho
 remark attributed to him his jaws must be lame.
