BEN HOLDER WON

When Ben Holder. a good three-year old
colt by The Commoner. won the Christ
mas handicap from Phil Finch at the
Crescent city track, New Orleans. yester-
day he not only added $3.50 to Willie
Shields bank account. but he placed his
owner at the top Of the list OF winning
horsemen
II was Ben Holders race from start
to finish. He jumped off with the lead
and acted as pacemaker throughout the
mile and a sixteenth.
He always held an advantage of day
light over Phil Finch. This horse was
second after the first half-mile lie
made a bold bid for the lead turning into
the homestretch. and was within a length
OF the leader as they swung for home, but
the big weight he caIried---l20 pounds
told on him at that point and Ben Holder
was able TO draw away again and win
from him by a length
The handicap was the event OF the
afternoons program at the fair grounds
track, and a big crowd OF holiday proper
tions. fully $1,000. was on hand At least
"a third Of the racegoers bet on w Shields
entry-Ben Holder and s. Valentine. This
pair were second favorites 10 Phil Finch
He closed at 20 8. The eastern dele
cation backed the Shields horses to a man
They forced the odds against the pair
down from 10 to to 5.

Maurice Sayers OF Milwaukee Is another
western boxer who needs more experience
I'm Philadelphia. Sayers yesterday after
noon met Harry Lewis OF this city In the
star bout at the National a. &. and the
Quaker was ahead at every stage OF the
contest
Lewis was the better man larely on ac-
count OF his superior quickness. Sayers
having been accustomed To IL and 20
round bouts. did not get up speed until
the setto was more than half over Even
then Lewis proved To be the faster man.
Harry outboxed Sayers at long range
as well as In the clinches, although Maui
rice proved that he has a punch and Is
at any stage Sayers started In the sixth
round TO make a whirlwind hnish>
In this lewis was willing To meet him
more than halfway and some terrific slug
OF every mixup and. fortunately for him,
he needed the advice Of his manager. Jack
McGuigan, to fight clever" and use his
footwork. BY 40 doing Sayers managed
he was several times staggered by Lewis
and had big cut over his right eye.
one OF the features OF the show was
hout between George Cole and Nero
novice az the game. but his gameness and
his willingness 10 force matters earned
him considerable applause.
In the first round Cole sent Neromous
to the floor four times, but the Mexican
never remained down long enough 20 take
the count After the first round he made
things very lively for Cole and honors
were fairly even at the finish, for some
OF the Mexican's wild swings landed on
Frank Carsey bested Jack I.angdon in
the semi -windup. In the other bouts
Billy Willis boxed a draw with Austin
Mowatt also went six rounds with honors

MAY H0L0 LONG FIGHT

There Is a rumor that with the dawn
ing OF the new year a big athletic club
devoted almost exclusively TO boxing w
be organized In New York. anl that I'm
the course OF time 20-round fights will
be put on the boards for the anus rnent
OF members only.
The men who have tne project under
consideration have received legal advice
TO the effect that there can be no police
interference III no admission OF any kind
Is charged at the doors The plan is 10
charge an initiation fee OF $50 for mem
Der. the number to be limited TO $1,000.
The dues Will be $50 month and two
payments will be collected the day before
a contest is pulled off. or in other words.
there will be two fights a month at $40
a fight.
In passing the doors membership tickets
must be shown, but no tickets can be
taken up. The public Will be excluded
after the limited membership list has
been filed. The promoters Of this scheme
say that IL IL IL legal for clubs TO hold
three round bouts for members q Is lust
rs legal to put on 2O-round contests under
similar conditions and that no fighter can
take part In n battle unless he first has
become member in good standing
II remains TO be seen what action would
be taken by the authorities I'm the event
OF an attempt TO hold a contest between
such Pugilists as McGovern and Nelson
for instance. But there Is sure TO be n
test case I'm the near future. and II the
game is not squslched New Workers will

BRUTAL FIGHT

Joe Grim. the human punching bag -
thought that Jack Reardon, OF Philadel-
phia, was landing too hard on him IN
their fight before the National Sporting
club, at Wilmington, yesterday. and re-
sorted To an old prize ring trick that
caused the worst rough and tumble fight
ever seen here i'm roped arena.
At the end OF the third round Grim
realized that he was getting the worst
OF the bout and called Reardon n foul
name, hoping IL would anger his oppo-
nent and cause him 10 be careless I'm the
next round. Reardon however pounced
upon Grim who threw him 10 the floor.
Then Grim proceeded to kick Reardon
brutally
The crowd became highly excited and
everyone Jumped TO his feet Referee
Lew Bailey, or Philadelphia was equal
TO the occasion and seizing Grim threw
him almost out OF the ring
After quiCtness was restored the bout
went on. IL is needless To say the spec
tators got their moneys worth I'm the
next three rounds Reardon had all tho
best Of IL and the bell alone saved Grim
from being knocked out in the sixth
Before this bout, Harry Jones, OF Phil
adelphia, stopped Jack Cheadle. Of Will
mington. I'm three rounds. and Jack Muir
ply, OF Philadelphia, stopped KID
O'Donnell. also OF Philadelphia, In two
rounds.

WORLDS CHAMPION BEATEN

Peter Latham. the worlds champion
at racquets. played his first public match
I'm an international four handed profes-
sional set yesterday and was beaten. -Ae
game was played on the Racquet and
Tennis clubs court in West Fifty-third
street. New York, and George Standing.
the American champion. was responsible
i'm good part for IAtham's undoing by a
score OF four games 10 two.
The Engllshman had David Gardner
az n partner and Standing was paired
with Edward Rodges. Both Gardiner and
Rodgers are Standings aids at the Racquet
and Tennis club and both proved 10 be
promising players.
For is years Latham has held the
racquet title against all comers Once In
1890 and again I'm 1897 Standing tried FOR
the title and failed. Yesterday he proved
that his chances OF beating the English
man I'm singles on Jan. s, whee they Will
play for n purse OF $4,000 are good.
A second after Referee Patton threw In
the small leather covered hall the game
started with flourish Latham's plac-
ing and speed were remarkable, but las
serves were not as swift nor as accu-
rately placed as those Of Standing. The
latter did exceptionally good work with
the least possible amount OF effort. Few
balls passed him and he made many clever
cuts across the court.
Latham and his partner won the first
game. Then their opponent took the
second In the third the Englishman again
won The American took the fourth and
the score was at all
Then Latham's partner. Gardiner. ana
even the worlds champion himself, be-
gan TO weaken. He was playing with
occarional flashes OF brilliancy, but lacked
consistency. The pair lost the NTH game
by Ave points.
In the last and deciding they
went completely to pieces. Rodgers
alone made nine points on service. Latham
and Gardner made but one each on serves
Unless Latham's games improve the
sl3. 600 will surely be Standings on Jan. g.
