RYAN PULLED HIS
FIGHT WITH O'BR|FN
&c -
Sports Begin to. Look Upon
Philadelphia Battle as
Plain Fake.

Before the meeting of Tommy Ryan
and philadelphia Jack" OBrien last
Wednesday night there were rumors that
job had been arranged between the pair,
but they put up such lively contest that
1t was not until the close of the week
that any paper charged openly that the
fight was fake. DIR. textbook a writ
er for the New York Telegram, in a long
story has declared that it was pre-,
arranged affair, and that both men kept
their agreement up to the fifth round,
when O'Brien hit much harder than was
necessary. Then Ryan, according to DR..
Lefthook, sailed in and put O'Brien out,
but the timekeeper saved him with a
short bell.
The interesting part of DR.. Textbooks
story follows:
1t was a business partnership. Conse-
quently the fight, so far as the public,
who paid the freight, was concerned, was

the public a good exhibition for their
money And they did
The house, being a Philadelphia house,
was with O'Brien. and its cries of en-
couragement got the better of O'BrieE's
business sense. He COPIED Tommy a hard
one and dropped him. That was Jacks
mistake. Ryan. the foxiest thing that ever
wore fighting shoes, didn't know whether
he was up against the double cross or not.
It would be a big feather in the cap of
Ryan.
When Tommy got to his feet he fell
into clinch, and then said to his bust
ness partner: flF
You want to fight, Ell? Well, I'll give
you all the fight yeu want

After saving him by short bell, they
managed to get O'Brien on his feet so

ship again, and allowed his victim to stay
through the final round.
When they left the ring Ryan was as
fresh as when he entered it. O Brien was
so sick that he could hardly walk.
That was the fight that two interested

SMITH LANDS GAME
St. Louis BiIIiardist Makes Good
Showing in Tournament.

NEW YORK, Feb. 81 De Nun Smith,
of ST. Louis, surprised many of the local
billiard players by his defeat of Edward
w. Gardner of Passaic N. j., in the
fourth game Of the national amateur bill
lizard championship tournament, which was
played at the Liederkranz club today, by
a score of 300 to 292. The Western player
took the lead in the fifth inning and held
it to the end, although Gardner pressed
him slosely toward the finish. When
Smith had only two TO make to win at
the end of the forty second inning, Gard
ner added neat bunch of Is to his score,
and Smith could only make one. Then
Gardner settled down for a splendid run
of Ga, but slipped up on an easy shot,
leaving the balls in perfect position for the
ST. Louis man to score the necessary shot
to win. The scores were:
Smith-Total. 300; high runs, SO, "a, 20,
&c; average, 36-44.
Gardner-Total. 292; high runs, GA, 27,
%, %; average. 6 1914
]. Ferdinand Poggenburg, of the Lieder-
kranZ club, scored very easy victory
over the Canadian champion, Arthur Mar
cote, in tonight'S contest his draw and
maSSe shots being particularly brilliant.
The Canadians open-table play was par
ticularly good, but he was outclassed at
every stage by the local man. The
scores follow:
Poggenburg-Total, 800: high runs, so,
80, %, 20; average, 10.
Marcotte-Total, ISL; high runs, 26, 81,

T. JENKINS A GIANT
Wrestler's Exhibition at Y. M.
c. A. Surprises Local Athletes.

1.-The most remarkable physical develop
ment I ever saw These were the words
of Prof. Carl Rothfus, the athletic di-
rector of the Y. M. c. A, at the conclu-
sion of the exhibition given by Tom
Jenkins in the association gymnasium last
night.
The same opinion was shared by 200
enthusiastic people who cheered the
champions every turn. In both wrestling
and boxing, local champions were dis
posed of as if they had been so many
children
Prof. Fred Burns was the first man to
go against Jenkins. He admitted after
the bout was over that the big fellow
could have disposed of him as often as he
wanted Ed Duffy next went on. and
Whlle jenkins let him do all the aggressive
work. he was willing to quit at the end
OF ten minutes wrestling.
e. Erickson gave Jenkins the most eX-
erclse He is short and very powerful
gave up in despair.
AT the conclusion of the wrestling eX-
hlbitiOn Jenkins boxed three fast rounds
with Mark O'Donnell
:, The strength exhibition brought forth
the greatest applause. Jenkins did some
feats that would keep Sandow guessing
he allowed Fred Murnane to jump on his
head while he did the floor dip With
one hand he lifted Murnane in the air
while he bridged
When the programme was concluded
Prof. Rothfus announced that he would
dismiss his classes Monday in order to
allow his men to see the match with Nc
Auley.

HARRY TUTHILL SAYS
CORBETT WILL WIN
Champions Trainer Thinks
Jimmy Britt VIII Lose
His Fight.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Henry Tuthill
who has trained Young Corbett for many
a battle, and who recently came East
after the champions bout with Hanlon.
said that the reports of the fights which
came East were more or less misleading,
as Hanlon never had a chance Of win
ming throughout the entire contest. He
says that Corbett's victory was never in
doubt, and that he secured an advantage
in the early rounds which he maintained
to the end.
Regarding the Britt -Corbett encounter
Tuthill said he looked for an interestin
battle, but that he expected Corbett to
win sure He said that Corbett was full
of confidence and that he was anxious to
tackle Britt.
]. "Corhett will be better when he meets
Britt than he has. ever been since he
reached the coast said Tuthfll. He
has become acclimated now and he has
no trouble in making the necessary work.
I believe that he could make 125 pounds
will begin to get the Kid in shape. He has
been taking things easy since his go with
Hanlon, SO that he would not go stale.
Corbett does not fear the outcome of his
go with Britt In fact, he is full of con-
fidence, for he believes that he has some
thing on the Californian. When he saw
Britt fight Willie Fitzgerald at San Fran
cisco he came to the conclusion that he
could beat him in bout. II he did not
feel confident that he could get away
with the winners end of the purse I don't
think he would have made the match
"Corbett is improving with every fight
and while Britt may be a heavier man,
Corbett will be there with the goods.
There is no boxer who loves to fight bet
ter than COrbett He has a wonderful
head and no matter how his oppo-
nents mix matters he never gets ratified.
He is there with the punch all the time
and never fails to get home wallop
whenever the opportunity is offered"

EDDIE COCHEMS NAMED
AS ASSISTANT COACH
Wisconsin Athletic Council Ends Row and
Elects the Player.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. edward B.
CochemS was approved as assistant coach
Of the Wisconsin football team for the
coming year at a special meeting Of the
athletic council
Two previous meetings of the council
had been held to consider his case and
as the objection was made at the first
meeting. that the collegiate career Of
Cochems In the last year that he played
on the Wisconsin football team, was
marred by the fact that he was not bona
f1de student OF the university, the advis-
ability Of affirming his election was ques
toned. The extra meetings were held
SO that all the evidence might be fully
considered. The first vote taken on the
matter was registered and was In favor
of his approval.
1t was claimed that Cochems had taken
UP work in the graduate department with
the intention of not doing the work; that
he had failed to do the work, and that he
had violated an express promise given to
Prof. Slichter and the council that he
would continue in the university for the
semester and pursue his studies faith
fully. All the evidence in the case was
considered at the meeting and the con-
clusion reached that Cochems was with
out doubt a bona fide student, and that
no compact had been violated.
COchemS was permitted to come before
the council to assist them in clearing up
the doubts in the case.

It is stated in a news item that a riot
was threatened at a Confederate reunion
at Columbia. Mo, the other day over a.
resolution offered by some rash and
finicky person that Dixie be rewritten
and worded in more dignified language.
We are told that the motion was greeted
with "a yell of disapproval," and that
when It was put to, only one Ne man d OF the 29o0
at it, If we had been there the yell would
have something added to it. Yankee
Doodle is not particularly dignified, but

any American audience to have that ia

SHINY Guns for Police.

"If l were arming police department"
said Police Captain Weber yesterday, no
man on the force would be allowed to
carry a pistol with a blue steel barrel.
would see that every officers weapon was
nickel-plated and was kept just as bright
and shiny as it could be made. Why
would 1 have only shiny pistols? Why,
for the moral suasiOn they convey. There
is something terror inspiring about the
CLINT Of light on highly polished pistol
barrel that is entirely missing in the APP
pearance of a blue steel barrel.
MANY a criminal resists when placed
under arrest and threatened with q dull
colored revolver who would have capitu-
lated Immediately had the officers pistol
been brightly polished. That is the case
even when the weapon is merely held in
the hand ready for use. but a shiny pistol
barrel to a man who is looking into It,
appears three times as big as blue steel
pistol barrel of the same caliber. KAN
