THE PUGILISTS.
BOTH MEN
 WON FIGHT
First Knockout So Short That Fight Was Contin- ued and Decision Revers- ed-Other News.

Tn the ten round bout between Larry Connolly of Boston and Fred Bryson of Cambridge before the Cam bridge A. c. on Monday night, both men won. Tn the first round Bryson, who has a fine left hand, tried to reach his rivals jaw. As he did Cop nelly made rush, showed Bryson's s guard to one side, and dropped him to the floor with stinging right on the jaw. Bryson was not unconscious, but simply dazed. He took the count, but misjudged the seconds. Instead of rising at the toll of nine, he stayed down until ten was counted. He was practically knocked out and the referee declared Connolly the victor. The crowd began filing out and Con nelly, realizing that his. victory was q luke. agreed to meet his rival again. So the crowd returned and after fif- teeh minutes rest the scrap was re- sunned with the first victory going to Connelly's credit. The pair fought the entire ten rounds. Bryson had all better of the struggle from the open ing round and got the verdict on points. So both men beat each other on the same night. a thing unparai- ,leled in the history of the ring.

JIMMY BURKE WON.

ssYoung Mississippi" the negro feath- erweight, received a setback in his march for championship honors on Monday night. when he met Jimmy Burke of Lawrence, Mass, in q 10 round bout before the Haverhill A. c. Burke did all the leading and had no difficulty in influencing the referee Ill his favor. It was "NIississippi's" first appearance in New England, and Il good sized crowd turned out to witness fhe struggle Burke outclassed him from the beginning. The white mari had the negro on the run throughout. Jimmy has fine left iab which he poked into 'Mississippi's" face with impunity. The black man did not like the blows and covered up at every op- pogtuRity. Then Burke went for the negro's stomach, and Mississippi showed that he did not like the smash es by either clinching or running away. Tn only one round-the seventh-.lid the Philadelphian gain an advantage. But the lead was only temporary, for fin the eighth Burke hammered him hard and almost scored a knockout.

a bunt with one hand, and, without preliminary halt or careful aim, shoot the ball to first straight and true. That become as much an everyday occur. renee as the plain catching of pop fly. The third baseman of to-day can handle the grounders over as mtcn ground as he ever could, is just as good on flies or thrown balls, aand is 8 far more accurate thrower taan in the past. Years ago, the third baseman was necessarily, sailing the ball high over first, or hitting the baseman on the foot, or firing the leather way out to right or left. Last season the wild throws from third were few and far be- tween. Third base has no real leader, simply because so many experts now cover the sack that there is little choice between them. Bradley and Col lins are generally referred to as the best third basemen in the business, yet neither of them. in the details of the position, had anything on Lave Cross or Lee Tannehill last summer. Leach, Casey, Wolverton and McCor- mick played fine ball on third in the National, the weak hitting of McCor- mick running his chance to gain great fame. The. American league had the edge on the National at third. for in the Johnsonian organization was the best set of third basemen ever got to- gether. When, in the history of the game, was there ever lot of third basemen to equal Bradley, Collins. Cross, Tannehill, Coughlin and Con- roy? Of these men, Collins, Cross and Bradley add materially to their value by their excellent batting Coughlin and Conroy are medium fair hitters, and Tannehill the weakest. batsman of the lot. The oldest thing about the modern third baseman is the fact that many of them began their big careers in other positions, and afterwards de- ve,oped sudden and unexpected skill in the toughest place an infielder can es- say. Collins was an outfielder. Cross was a catcher. TannehiH was short stop. Casey was 8 catcher. Conroy was a shortstop. All of these men showed up better at third than they did in their former places, despite the fact that they had to learn all the an gles of a job that was more difficult than the one they had held down be- fore.

wENTlTHE LIMIT.

The large crowd that attendea .ne K round bout between Herman Miiler, an ap exploded phenomenon discovered fv M Al Herford, and Con I4auterpacn' which was decided at the Nonpareli A; q Baltimore, on Monday night, did not have chance to suffer from ennui. The combat was replete with acLion from the start, and although Miller was the victor he had to work his hard- ast to secure the award. Miller was moi in the best of condition. But ae that he had. ten pounds the better or If in weight. From the beginnlng Miller made rushing bout of It. lie played for Lauterbach's wind. His blows were straight drives and were delivered with considerable force. But as the contest progressed Miiler's poor trim told. and he had to use all of his skill to forestall Lauterhach. who was growing stronger In the fifth round Miller weakened < Lauterbach with bIows under the heart. The latter re- covered and outpointed his opponent until the eleventh round. Then Miller forged ahead by clever infighting and vicious blows on the jaw! He had Lauterbach nearly out i'll the fifteenth, the call of time alone saving him. The decision was well received.

French champion. Marshall is one of the youngest opponents of the royal game. Born in 1877, he took up the game when quite youth. His first notable success was at London in 1899, when he took first prize in the minor tournament. The year following he participated in the Paris international tournament, in which he tied for third place. Lasker secured first and Pills bury second prize. Since the Paris con- test Marshall participated in practical ly every competition and his daring play attracted attention and found uni versal admiration. Lasker, Pillsbury, Dr. Tarrasch, Tschigorin, Maroczy. Schlechter, Ganowski, and practically all the leading masters were victims of his aggressive tactics. While young Marshall on numerous occasions ex-. celled, he. apparently developed full strength but recently, at the Cam bridge Springs (Pa.) tournament. where he secured first honors, ahead of gorin, going through the contest with out the loss of a single game. This phenomenal showing was repeated in the New York state and the St. Louis national contests. Marshall's play is particularly attractive, principally be- cause so often it is on the surprise order. Like most leading opponents of the game, he is thoroughly familiar with the theory of the game, but, quite noteworthy, he adopts only very dis tinct openings. A queens gambit when playing the attack, rather risky de- fense to the we'll known Ruy Lopez, and perhaps a Sicilian defense are practically all he uses In serious com petitions, and strange enough-well an-. alyzed as these games are-he knows how to introduce novelties. Marshall at present does not hold the worlds or the national championship. The for mer belonys to Dr. Lasker, the latter to H. N. Pillsbury.

NEIL AND RoWKER.

Frankie Neil is not discouraged over the announcement that Jim Bowker, the new worlds champion and his conaueror, has been matched to meet Pinkey Evans of Yonkers and does not intend coming here i'll hurry. Neil has just received word that if the Briton does not make the trip here Bowker will consent to meet the American abroad next June. The date is set for November IT. The regular boxing season ends in London on Derby night, and consequently if the combat takes place it will be held in some hall. Neil is studying the Eng fish rules of boxing and exDects to have no trouble in beating the Eng lishman when they meet again.

TWO GREAT PUNTs.

Two remarkable punts were made in the west last Saturday. Eckersall, the Chicago quarterback, booted the ball seventy-five yards on the play. He stood on his lO-yard line and the ball struck on Michigan's 25-yard line It rolled 9 yards further. Curtis of Michigan kicked out to Michigan's 4O- yard line, so that Chicago gained about fifty yards on the exchange. Harris of Minnesota made one punt of 70 yards And yet rubber cored balls are barred from football.

WRESTLING.
JENKINS WANTS
 HIS TITLE BACK

According to advices from Cleveland Tom Jenkins, the herculean wrestler of that city, who lost the American championship to Frank Gotch, is train ing quietly in anticipation or match with the winner of the contest be- tween Gotch and Yankee" Rogers, which takes place in Buffalo one week from next Friday night. Jenkins, who held the championship for seven years before meeting Gotch, feels keenly the loss of his title, and is determined to make a desperate effort to regain 1t. Of course, if Rogers should defeat the present champion, Jenkins would be obliged to look to the big Yankee for his title, and he will find Rogers more than willing to accommodate him.
