JACK RYAN HAS RETIRED
FROM PRIZE RING

Jack Ryan, of Brooklyn, who won
the twenty round go from Herman Mil
Ter at the Savannah Athletic Club on
the night of July 3, has retired from
the prize ring forever, and will return
to the more peaceful avocation of
bridge builder, at which trade he is an
adept. Ryan made a statement to this
effect before he left Savannah, and
said that he was convinced that there
was nothing to prize fighting for him
any more, and that he preferred to go
back to his old trade.
Few prize fighters have ever visited
Savannah who have been better liked
than Ryan. He was gentlemanly in
has bearing in and out of the ring,
and his conduct in the ring, and his
evident desire for fairness won for
him the admiration of all who knew
him. He was for a long time boxing
instructor at the Brooklyn Athletic
Club, but he has also given this up.

WALTH0UR'S RE
MARKABLE FEAT,

His Riding at Boston Last Tuesday
Night of Sensational Order.
Bobby Walthours sensational ride at
Boston on Tuesday is the most wonder
full bit of work in cycling history.
Even one year ago the statement that
riders behind pace would shortly ride
miles at a lilo clip seemed impossible,
but Walthour rode fifteen miles and
all averaged less than ITO
Joe Nelson, who has the Record
Bug" and who set new marks for the
twenty-mile on the Fourth, and whose
greatest desire was to ride a mile at
los, was scheduled to go for this mile
on Tuesday night. but failed to get it.
While Walthour, as finsher to his f1f-
teen miles set a new mark of one min
lite and seven seconds. This is the
fastest mile ever ridden behind mo-
tor cycle by any cyclist in the world.
This performance is simply marvellous
when it is considered that the fastest
mile ever Travelled by motor cycle,
the record held by Albert Champion
on the Empire track made especially
for automobile record rides, was
IA
Walthour's record was made on
tive-lap track, and within 3-5 seconds
of Champions ride on a specially built
motor cycle, and Walthour calling for
more pace.
This ride was made behind Harry
Caldwelrs motor cycle, as Walthours
Ben Hur" will not go that fast by
four or five seconds to the mile.
WalthOur has demonstrated that he
is in a class alone, and is to-day with
out competition. The only chance 9TH
er riders have to win against him is by
accident or motor trouble, but with
conditions equal he can lap with ease
any of his competitors in the pace
game. The fastest mile ever ridden
on a bicycle was by Charles Murphy
who rode behind an express train with
a specially constructed hood to create
a vacuum in which to ride. He made
the mile in Isl 2-5 seconds. Nelson's
record for one mile, the fastest in the
world up to the time Walthour broke
it Tuesday night, was beaten by over
one minues by Walthour, and this new
record bids fair to stand for some time
to come.

TOMMY FELIX'S DEFEAT
SIMILAR TO THAT OF MILLER.

The defeat of Tommy Feltz at St.
Louis Thursday night by Tommy Sulli-
van was great surprise to the friends
of Feltz here, as it was believed that
Sullivan could not last eight rounds
before the former Savannah cham
pion.
Feltz owes his defeat to the same
in his twenty-round match with Ryan
July 8. He had just undergone a surg
ical operation similar to the one that
Miller had been subjected to- and was
hardly in condition to stand any pun
ishment in the stomach In speaking
of the matter last night Billy Wilson,
matchmaker for the Savannah Ath-
letic Club. said: 81 feared that Feltz
would not be able to recover from the
operation which he had performed
some time ago in time for the bout
last night, He suffers the same trou-
Bile that has put many a good man
down and out before his time. 1t is
a well known fact among physicians
that there is a number of ligaments
in the lower part of the stomach that
when unduly disturbed will become
swollen and sore. and finally necessi-
tates their entire removal. Boxing
men everywhere suffer more or less
from this disease after being punched
in the ribs and stomach hundreds and
hundreds of times as they are and
sooner or later have to submit to the
surgeons knife. That was what was
the matter with Miller, and as Ryan
said to me the other day after the CO.
Miller had the fight won three differ
ent times if he had been able to stay
In all of his fights Feltz has been
wearing a padded aluminium protector,
which, of course, could not be used
with success after an operation, and
in consequence Sullivan played on his
stomach and put him out"

were disappointed yesterday afternoon

The game was Indefinitely postponed,
when It was found that the grounds
would not be in condition, and the Ma
