Lad Fights off Death
By Running in Circle

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Although only
ten years old. Charles Brant5en, of 436
Columbia Avenue, Hudson City, knew
how TO keep life IN his child body when
astray in the Hackensack meadows
Lost for twenty-four hours, the lad
kept alive by constant exercise and
manfully fought off that fatal inclination
TO sleep that overcomes those in danger
OF freezing to death.
When found by band OF searchers,
the boy, half frozen and famished, was
running in circle in an open space in
the brush. He had beaten a path through
the snow and into the ground, and his
shoes were almost worn from his feet
Continued to Run.
Almost unconscious, the little chap
didn't seem to realize rescue was at
hand. and continued to run up and down
the path until forcibly restrained 1t is
probable that he thought the men he
saw were only in his inaagination.- and
one of the many fancies that passed
through his mind during those long
terrible hours alone.

Lewis proved to be a good two-handed
fighter and gives evidence Of some day
becoming a dangerous boxer. His style
is awkward and while he lands hard
he does not go about delivering a blow
IL particularly scientific manner HIS
right is a sleep producer, but he tele-
graphs his blows to some extent. What

he displayed of being able to learn the
game and assimilate instruction 1t

Leaves Jaw Open.
The worst fault Lewis has is leaving
his jaw open. He holds his guard in
rather unusual manner and lunches UP

the shoulder does not go high enough to
make him a crouch fighter and lie will

The preliminary between Myers ana
Baker was as fast and exciting as the
star bout. Myers had the bad manners
to take a nap in the middle or the ring

to awaken until after Referee Mace had

Myers Unfortunate
Despite his remarkable chest, Myers
proved to be somewhat faster and foxier
than Baker. He had clearly the best of

rounds and in the others he landed
many painful pokes. He had no trouble

Danny Lewis fully justified the conf
dence of his friends yesterday afternoon
when he stopped Kid Lackey. at the
meeting of the Rock Spring Club, in the
fourth round
Lewis showed himself to be a hurry
up boxer who keeps after his man all
the time. and takes punishment like a
little major. He scored his victory by
a right hand swing to the body that
brought Lackey forward. followed by
right and left swings to the jaw. These
clips to the jaw caused the Baltimorean
to sit gracefully upon the floor while
Referee Harry Mace tolled off ten sec
onds and announced the Washington
boy a winner
Lackey Started Well
In the first round Lackey showed the
old eleverness that made him furnish
fast fights for some of the best boys in
the country. He got busy with his
right with swings and straight jabs
and had no trouble in connecting with
the jaw and stomach of the local lad
Lewis had been warned that If Lackey
did not begin to gain an advantage in
the early part of the scrap he would be-
come discouraged, and he accordingly
came right back at the Baitimorean ali
the time, returning blow for blow.
Lackey landed the more whacks in these
genial exchanges, but Lewis delivered
the more goods. His punches were
strong, and. although not delivered with
any startling amount of science, they
hurt.
In the second and third rounds Lackey
still showed his superiority as a boxer
| and landed some stout swats on his op-
ponent- He stalled many of Lewis
punches, but enough others reached him
to cause him to weaken. His side and
| neck were red and it was obvious that
he was against harder game than he
| expected when he came to our fair city.
| His defense became weaker and Lewis
| landed more and more often
The Decisive Punch.

This giant, pronounced the physically

and is speedy as well. 1t is said that
he could drag an entire eleven along

be unable to throw Rose.

Large Grant of Money.

This project was made possible by the
Carnegie Institute for the Promotion of
Science, of Washington, which has made
a grant of $3.50, 600, TO become availa bic
in 1903. TO be used in establishing solar
observatory at Mount Wilson, providing
its equipment and further maintenance
is furnished by subsequent grants II is
estimated that the total outlay in this
establishment will be 100000.
Dr. Hale and his companion will not
sever their connection with the Yerkes
institution. and at the University of
Chicago 1t was said that DR.. Hale would
also continue to be the head of the
department of astronomy at that insu-
tuition and would probably resume his
duties upon returning from California
after the Ieriod OF observation is ter
minated. Ferdinand Etterman and Wal

which will astonish the scientific world.
Mount Wilson has been chosen as the
most perfect spot In the United States
for observations of the solar object.
The sun spots develop from a declina-

FIGHT To DRAW
Fifteen-Round Bout Before
Glen Echo Club.
BATTLE ROYAL AMUSING
Alex Brown Victor-Farren and Eagan
Divide Honors-Snowbau Won
BATTLE ROYAL AMUSING

In the presence of fully fifteen hun
dred people the newly organized Mary
land Musical and Dramatic Club yester-
day afternoon most auspiciously opened
the clubhouse at Glen Echo.
Although the crowd was the largest
that has attended a meeting of this sort
In these parts, there were no signs of
disorder, and the whole affair was run
of smoothly, much TO the qualification
of the Maryland authorities, who were
present to see that the law was car
ried out.
SNOWFALL Won.
After the offerings of the club in the
line of sentimental songs, the .St.
Mary County Bully and SNOWFALL
started. For three rounds the pride of
southern Maryland kept poking his left
wing out like Il swimmer in distress, but
finally the SNOWFALL gave him a wal

him to the canvas with a thud- He re-
fused TO accept defeat, and even after
the gong had sounded stood in the ring

Eagan, OF this city, the ngave a neat
sparring exhibition for 115-pound boys.
For while they mixed it up nicely, but
Hardy called it a draw.
Battle Royal.
The battle royal which followed was,
to many, the most enjoyable event on
the program Alex Brown, who has
made quite a reputation for himself
around these parts as rough-house
fighter, was the fayorite with the crowd
when the four duSlSy scrappers entered
the ring. Hardly had the bell rung
when the four Black Arrows began TO
mix it up. First one and then the
other would be sent to the floor with a
vicious, old-fashioned cartwheel swing,
Black Fire was the first to go down and
out, and then the other two sailed into
the redeubtable Brown. but he held
them off until he could give each a good
swat and he was declared the victor
amid uproarious applause.
Big Bout Draw.
The main bout between Tommy Lowe
OF this city, and Harry Lewis, of Phila-
delphia, at $50 pounds, went TIE limit
Of fifteen rounds, when Referee Kid
Sullivan called the fighters TO the cen
ter of the ring and declared it draw
There was little TO choose between tn.
men at any stage of the mill, but tn,
styles We're. entirely different. Lewis
fought at d distance and did most OF
his damage with a straight right fol

Mccoy set a hot pace from the time he
arrived in Los Angeles, and, though

He spent money lavishly and positively
refused to train. When he finally de-
cided TO begin training for his battle
with Sullivan he was unable to stand
the strain and was compelled to go to
bed. After q complete rest il is said
that MCCOY will return TO New York,
