Assaulted liver Lawson.

The great showing of liver Lawson in

he has wrested laurels from the fast bike
riders, has been the occasion for con-
siderable jealousy among the cracks. so
pronounced is the jealousy, as far as
Floyd Mcfarland is concerned. that that

Swede The affair took place in WASH

according to the dispatches sen. out de-

final for the half-mile circuit champion
ship Mcfarland claimed that Lawson
caused him to fall by a foul. He grew
so angry that before he could be re-
strained he pulled Lawson off his wheel
and struck him vicious blow on the
law. The police interfered and the race
was given to John B. Fisher, who nm
ished third.

Nose LaEontise Confident.

Nose LaFontise stated today that he
was never more confident of victory in
his life than he is over Tom Tracey, in
their boxing match at the saucer track
arena Monday. Nose says he is aware of
the fact that he is taking on man who
has bested some good ones, but declares
that does not worry him in the least.
He says there are many persons who
think he has been successful because he
has not had many hard contests, but
Nose says that he will demonstrate on
Monday night that he can deliver the
goods against good man. Nose thinks
that if he had met more men of the cali
bre Of Tracey he would have created a
better impression. He declares that the
coming bout will give him the oppor-
tunity he has long wanted-to put it over
a good man. If Tracey is in his old
time form Nose has some hard work cut
out for him.

TO BREAK BROAD JUMP RECORD
Worlds Champion Hopes to Eliminate
Fault and Clear Twenty-six
Feet

Peter O'Connor the greatest jumper in
the athletic history of the world. showed
to Herald reporter the manner in which
he reaches to distances never before at
tanned by any other athlete, says the
New York Herald.
In possession Of worlds records from
both grass and board take OFFS" O'Con-
nor's abilities at broad jumping have
probabl made him the best known attn
lete of the day.
In order to show Just how he attains
great distances, O'Connor took several
practice leaps from the "block" at Celtic
Park, the training ground of the Greater
New York Irish Athletic association.
Without any apparent effort he clear
ed % feet, but in so doing he betrayed
a lack of one of the important features
of the game. a perfect approach to the
take off," AS against this failing. how
ever, the greatest amount of natural
ability is shown.
The great Irishman. who is 6 feet IL
inches in height, scaling $50 pounds in
athletic costume, starts back about 125
feet, and COMES on with great speed.
When probably thirty feet for the block
he comes almost to stop in order to
measure with his eye his chances of hit
ting the take off right and true. He
probably gets q greater rise than any
jumper who has preceded him, and lands
SPRAYING sideways when taxed to his
best.
A peculiar thing about OConnor is
that he takes off with his left leg, trick
unknown to his predecessors of record
holding fame.
In being question as to his hesitation
down the runaway. Mr.. O'Connor said;
Il have never been able to eliminate
the pause you speak of. and have been
content to rely upon the powers given
me. With some suggestion. 1 hope to
be able to get to the take off in the
scientific manner of American jumpers
kraenzlein, in particular, whom l saw
on the other side.''
Among former champions who have
seen OConnor in practice the opinion
prevails that the muscular Irishman
who is mass Of muscular and nervous
energy will be able to jump twenty-siS
feet. They figure that II with the cur
tailed run and distance cleared now
O'Connor can clear within fraction OF
an inch of twenty-five feet, with goof
approach he can tack on foot. y

it appears, had been under cover for
week at French Lick springs Glowing
reports Of his condition were given out.
but as no one was allowed to see him,
the club got an inkling that all was
not right and began an investigation.
The club ordered Hart examined by a
PHYSICIAN, who at once pronounced the
boxer unfit and suffering from COM

then declared off. Steve Crosby has
been boxing with Hart and is said to
have declared that he was more like a
