RYAN WINS EASILY
MYSTERIOUS" BILLY SMITH Is
KNOCKED OUT IN THE
FOURTH ROUND
LOSER PUT UP GAME FIGHT
HOnOrs Were Even for First Two
Rounds, but Ryan's CIeverness
and Hitting Powers
Won Out.

KANSAS CITY, March 14-Tommy
Ryan, of this city, tonight knocked out
Mysterious" Billy Smith, of Portland,
Or, in the fourth round of what was
scheduled as a ten-round bout, in Turner
hall. After one minute and thirty-five
seconds of furious fighting in the last
round Ryan landed terrific left in the
stomach, which was followed so closely
by a right hook on Smiths jaw that it
was difficult to tell which blow was the
more effective. Smith went down and
though he struggled hard to regain his
feet he was unable to do SO before the
fatal ten seconds were counted off,
At the outset of the fourth round both
men began to fight viciously. Ryan
landed several body blows which seemed
to distress Smith. The latter landed
some stinging blows on Ryan's kidneys
and neck, but without apparent effect on
the Kansas City man. Smith made a
VICIOUS swing at Ryan, which the latter
ducked cleverly and Smith slipped, and
fell from the force of his own effort, and
he remained on his knees seven seconds,
resting. The two blows which knocked
him out were landed within two seconds
after Smith rega,ned lis feet. Duri-g the
first two rounds honors were even. Ryan
appeared to be in the pink of condition,
while Smith seemed too heavy. In the
first round Smith led off with left to
Ryan's stomach, which he followed with
right to the kidneys. Smith started
out the aggressor, which gave Ryan an
opportunity to do some clever blocking
and footwork. A half dozen body blows
were landed in this round, each man re-
ceiving his share.
In the second round Ryan became the
aggresscr and bored in and landed some
hard blows, to Smiths body. Smith con-
a hard one in Ryan's face In this round
the referee had some difficulty in making
the men break clean. Smith made his
best showing in the third round, and at
times Ryan was forced to clinch.
Smiths frequent blows in the kidneys
were causing Ryan some annoyance. and
he was on the defensive throughout the
round

Great Britain.
Exchange Usual Greetings.

The Americans played the white pieces
on the odd numbered boards, and tie
British on the even numbered boards.
Previous to the beginning of play and
before the names of the teams were ex-
changed in order to ascertain the pairic g,
the usual complimentary messages were
exchanged between the officials and the
players.
A dispatch by Pilsbury to the Brook
1yn Chess club assured the managers of
- the contest that he and Marshall would
play their games with Lawrence and
Atkins respectively over the board in
London today.
The British team this year is handi-
capped by the absence of J. H. Black
burn. The British captains substitute is
Lawrence. The Kentuckian, Showalter,
was prevented from taking part in the
match this year, and so Helms, for
mer champion Of the Brooklyn Chess
club, took his place on the team. Precise
ly at 10 o'clock the first moves We're
sent to London and vice versa. The
American team conducted play at the
Academy of Music at Brooklyn, while
the Britishers played at the Cafe Monico,
London.
BY mutual conent Pillsbury and Mar
shall were scheduled to play their re-
spective games against Lawrence and At
klnS over the board in London.
Openings Were Close.
Close openings prevailed. OF the Eng
HShmen Blake alone started with PK4
The Americans chose an open game only
on the fifth and ninth boards. but Mills,
on the former board defended himself
with a Sicilian, so that there were only
two open games, both OF them being
Ruy Lopez.
Mason, in his game with Barry, re-
viVed an old form of attack, which some
times is called English opening. He out
maneuVered his adversary in the opening
and eventually isolated Whites queen
pawn. When play ceased for the day
the position was still in favor of Barry.
On the fourth board, Lee offered a
queens gambit to Lodges, the latter de-
the DAY Hodges improved his position,
and just before adjournment he Won the
exchange.
A very interesting and spirited encoun-
ter took place on board 5, where Hymes
had to contend against a Sicili "a defense,
played by Mills. Just before adjourn
ment the position was left in favor of
Mills.
The game on the sixth board was al
most identically like that on the fourth
table, and Voight, too, succeeded in iso-
lating one of Bellingham's paWns. The
Englishman, however, by pinning a
knight, is making trouble for the Amer
lean.
Delmar, on the seventh board, obtained
a superiority in the opening, but event.
ually Trenchard assumed the initiative,
pressing the attack with great skill.
The game between Howell and Mitchell
stands rather evenly.
Helms, on the last board, has slightly
the better position.

BoERS GROW MORE FRIENDLY
Only Bitterness Observable Among
Leaders is Against France
and Germany.

PRETORIA, Wednesday June ii :,
ports from all the districts say that
burghers are increasingly friendly.
only bitterness observable among the lead
ing Beers here is against France and Ger
many. They declare the war was pro-
tracted unnecessarily owing to hopes held
out by the French and German press.
Some Of the Beers are so incensed that
they have expressed the hope that some
day they will fight on the side Of the
British against one Of these powers.
The anticipated friction between the sur
rendered Beers and their former comrades
Of the national scouts has not materiaIized
to any extent.
The Beers admit they received ammuni-
tion through Portuguese territory.
General Dewet says the youngsters were
his best fighters and frequently held posi-
tions after the older burghers had cleared
out.
The Beers Of the Orange River colony
are handing in only a small percentage
Of their ammunition. They explain that
they used most of It hunting game since
the peace agreement was signed
Addressing the surrendered Beers at
Kroonstadt, Orange River colony, General
Elliott said the only wish Of King Edward.
his government and the British people
was to help the burghers and get them
back to their farms so soon as possible.
The king, the general added, had tele-
graphed congratulations to the burghers on
the good stand they had made. This an
nouncement was greeted with lusty cheers
for the king and for Lord Kitchener.

FIGHT THAT STIRS A STATE
Ex-COngressman CampbeII's Boy
Pitted Against ProteEe of Sem
atOr CIarke's Son.

BUTTE, Mont. June 12.-All Montana
is stirred up over a sensational bare
knuckle fight which took place last night
between Roy Campbell. a son of ex-Con-
gresham A. ]. Campbell, and William G.
Mangan, an athlete Of some local repute
and said to be a protege of w. A.
Clark, jr.
The affair is said to be an outgrowth OF
the bitter political fight made against Sen
ator w. A. Clark in Washington a few
years ago in which Congressman Camp
bell was a leading figure and which re-
suited in Senator Clark resigning. There
has been considerable i'll feeling between
partisans Of the two factions ever since.
Yesterday Campbell and Mangan met at
ball game and Mangan is alleged to have
insulted Campbell. who promptly knocked
him down. Later in the day Campbell was
waited upon by friends of Mangan and
told that he must fight the latter. Camp
bell, who is but 20 years old, ten years
the junior OF Mangan, referred the matter
to his father. The ex-congressmau is said
to have told his son that he must meet
Mangan and beat him.
A number Of friends Of the contestants
drove some distance out from Butte, where
ring was pitched. The two men stripped
to the waist and the battle began. II was
bloody affair and lasted but three rounds.
Campbell landed frequently upon Mangan,
but his blows lacked steam and were inef-
fecuve. Near the end of the third round
the more experienced pugilist landed on
the students jaw and knocked him out.
Young Clarke is said to have been the
referee.
