PLACKE A FALSE ALARM
CHAMPION OF HOLLAND MAKES
APooR IMPRESSION in PUBLIC
BOUTS AT NEW YORK.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, March 80. Henry
Placke, the Holland champion, who is
matched to meet Kid Mccoy in Phila-
delphia on April 5, gave public ex-
hibition of his ability yesterday. He
made very poor impression upon
those who saw him at work. He is
slow and gave no impression of the
great strength that has been claimed
against Arthur Cripps. the Australian
middleweight, and barely held his
own. He showed lack of wind and
blows. Cripps had no difficulty in
reaching him hard and frequently
Placke showed plenty of courage
and ability to take punishment, how
ever. In the bout with Yank Kenny
he showed to better advantage, as his
opponent was slower than Cripps.
kid" Mccoy read statement yes
terday to the effect that Bob" Fitz-
simmons had stated in Boston that
his hands were In shape for fight,
and forthwith the Kids hacker, George
Considine, posted 81 900 with Al Smith
in support of McCoy's challenge to
fight Fitzsimmons at 1853 pounds.
Terry McGovern says that he won
$500 on Britt's victory over Young
Corbett.
II didn't think Corbett had chance
against Britt" declared the former
featherweight champion, but after
reading the accounts of the fight I
am convinced that Corbett was robbed
of the decision. The worst he should
have received was a draw

with the army for several years. but
has labored as a member Of the Bap-
list church In Milwaukee, She is a
speaker Of ability and for the past few
months has filled one Of the leading
pulpits OF the Wisconsin town. Her
assignment as corps captain for Salt
Lake comes as the result OF a request
from her to return to the work OF her
girlhOod.
II Is an interesting story that is
grouped about her early life and that

entertaining sallorfolk with religious

Then In 1879 the father brought his
wife and daughter 10 America, They
settled down IN the good old Quaker

factory, as foreman, and while engag ed
in this work It occurred to him to have
his family continue the kind OF meet
ings they had held at their former
home In England The result was that
the three Of them went out onto the
street and began to sing songs Of the
old Salvation Army type, At first they
were laughed at. but finally secured a
small following and began to hold open

salary as foreman OF the ribbon fac

and George Railton was sent TO take
charge He was accompanied by seven
uniformed women. and these quickly
sprang into newspaper fame az tho
seven hallelujah lasses' because Of the
novelty Of their appearing on the
streets with tambournes and prayer
books
From this beginning IN the Quaker
city the army work took permanent
root in America.
Miss Shirley continued IN the army
work until her marriage turned her at
tention TO domestic work, She Is now
widow with four daughters and
