RETIREMENT OF
ADMIRAL BARKER

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
United States navy loses most valu-
able and popular officer in Rear Ad-
miral Albert S. Baker, who was
placed on the retired list today. hav-
ing reached the age limit of 62 years.
Admiral Barker is a son of Massa-
chusetts, and had not yet completed
his four years course in the naval
academy at Annapolis when he was
ordered out to the steam frigate
mississippi He took part in the cap
ture of New Orleans and in the night
at Port Hudson, where the MISSISSIPPI
ri was lost. After the civil war he
was assigned to various posts until
in 1888, as commander, he was given
charge of the Enterprise, and for
three years was the skipper of that
ship while line of deep sea sound
ings was run across the Atlantic and
Indian oceans from New Zealand to
the Straits of Magellan. The scien-
tific results of this voyage were pub
lished by Captain Barker, and they
are known to hydrographists the
world over. He was the commander
of the Philadelphia when that cruiser
was the flagship of Admiral Gherard
in the international naval review OF
1898. For a quarter of century the
admiral has used the seat say
nothing of his record as fighter dur
ing the civil war During the Span
ish-American war he commanded the
protected cruiser Newark and took 6
prominent part in the battle of San

The men worked every second of
the time from the first sound of the
gong and after the referee decided to
keep clear of the fighters and allow
them to work themselves out of the
clinches it was just the hardest kind
of battling-the kind which tests Sc
verely a mans strength and endur-
ance.
Honestly, I was surprised at the
work of the Indian in that go. He
has never been given full credit for
his cleverness, his staying powers
and his headwork. In generalship
Joe certainly had it over Mullin for
a shade, but his blows were not
forceful enough. He landed dozens
of times in vulnerable spots, but only
once or twice did his blows prove
damaging. On the other hand, Mullin
was stronger with the punch, but
Gregg's swift work minmized the
force of the Irishman's blows, which
all to ooften were blocked or evaded
o o o
one OF the most noteworthy rounds
was the tenth, in which both mer
were up against a funny proposition
1t came in a mixup which, at shor,
range, was one of the few times the
two did not tie up in a clinch. Bar
ney whipped through an uppercut just
as Gregg came through with a wild
haymaker.
Both blows landed.
Gregg went back. ali but out and
hung onto the ropes, dazed ant
wabbly.
Barney went down on his face and
although able to get up at once, he
had been jolted severely and imagined
that his blow did not lang strong.
Therefore, without looking al
Gregg, Barney stayed down and tool
the count for six.
Q o o
BY that time Gregg was able to see
a few things in front of him. He
was away over to the side hanging

SULLIVAN VS..
HERRERA TONIGHT

BALTIMORE, Md. March 31.-The
Eureka Athletic club has carded Au-
relia Herrera and kid" Sullivan to
furnish the principal bout at it's box
ing show tonight. Herrera, with his
record of having been the first man
to stand a 20-round go with Bat
Ting Nelson, is naturally the favor
lite, though the Washington feather
weight has many admirers hereabouts
who expect him to make a good show
ing against the Mexican. Both men
appear to be in good shape for the
mill and are expected to put up a
lively contest. In accordance with the
articles of agreement the two fight
ers will weigh in late this afternoon
at 1870 pounds.

mounted for field uses and which can
be moved about almost as easily. but
of course not so quickly. as the ordi-
nary field guns. 1t is probable that
not less than 100 Russian guns will
be usesd by the japanese in the COM
ing fight, ~
Waiting for the Bombardment.
A large number of machine. guns
will also be usesd. Up to this time
the Japanese have made but little use
of these guns, except with their cav
airy on the TANKS of the army, but
no wthey have scores of them scat
tered along the whole line. They are
all, at least all l have seen. the latest
pattern of the Maxim automatic gun,
which, once the trigger is pulled, keep
on firing as long as the cartridges
are fed in. while the man at the
handle can sweep a zone of almost
1870 degrees. They are nasty affairs
and can NOW down whole lines of
men as a we'll directed rOfle shot can
drop a single man.
We are now patiently waiting for
the big bombardment to begin The
guns are ready and the men are
ready; they are only waiting for the
word from the general to turn the
whole front into a death-dealing hell
of shot and shell of every descrip-
ton. 1t may be that the Russians
can stand against this terrible fire
when it begins-but if they do they
will be something a little more than
human. I don't think they will. BY
the time this letter is printed you
will know whether they did or not.

reality, they were doing harder worf

As matter of fact it was SUR
prising to those alive to the hard
work being done thateithe r man went
the full 20 rounds. n

But at the end of the twentieth
round both men were strong, and
neither had been punished to any
appreciable extent Gregg had his
cheek cut and Barney's lips were cut
slightly Gregg came up strong to
ward the close, but, although both
men landed repeatedly and with light
ming blows. it was with short arm
punches which could not bring the
money.
When.the pair would get apart and
start in the punches came hard, but
it was only a punch at a time, as
both jumped into the clinches and cut
off whatever chances they might have
had to swing in effective blows.

1t is still up to Barney Mullin and
'Tndian" Joe Gregg to "Missourize'
the public as to who is the better
man in a straight rule fight. Neither
man was able to establish a sufficient
superiority last night to secure a de-
Cision and the hard fought, gruelling
mill resulted in draw at the end of
20 rounds. 1t was a notable battle
and there were times when il was
just hard luck that kept either man
from winning.
1t was an exceptionally orderly
crowd which gathered in Washington
hall last night to witness the much
talked of and much postponed go.
Never has a contest in this section
of the country ever gone through the
adversities that did the Mullin-Gregg
so. Between the hoodoos and the
knockers, the contest was up in the
air for weeks and even as late as last
night some of the men with sledges
did what they could to convince those
desiring to attend that the fight
would not be allowed to go on.
Q o
But all the efforts to hammer the
two men out of the city resulted in
failure and those who accepted the
invitations to be present were surely
given their moneys worth. 1t was not
what any expert would call a scien-
tiho fight. but it is dead certain that
there was more fighting in those 90
rounds than has been found in any
two fights in this city put together
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-03-31

on to the ropes and almost fell away
from them as Barney raised to his
feet. Before Mullin could take advan-
tage of the condition of the Indian,
however. the bell tapped and the
round ended. 1t was the closest call
on winning or losing during the en-
tire fight.
To everyone who understands and
likes straight rules, the go was I'M
doubtedly the best ever seen in Spo-
kane. both from a fighting standpoint
and the admirable way in which the
men handled themselves.
But there are whole lot of people
attending the contest who, having
been accustomed to the long range
fighting with clean breaks, do not get
down to the fine work of straight
rules, protection on the breakaway
and one arm free hitting. For this
reason contest with clean breaks is
more popular in Spokane.
Yet with two such men as Muliin
and Gregg a fight with clean breaks
would be most unsatisfactory
Neither man can really fight that way
and stand any chance of getting
through without falling foul of the
referee
Either man would be likely to lose
a clean break fight on a foul as
neither is heady enough to hold back
| on a breakaway or in getting into a
| clinch. For this reason it would be
| unwise to match the pair for clean
breaks, must as some of their adj
| mirers are insisting upon that style
| for any future match.
Q o O
There was some extra fine work
| during the mixups and some unusual
| ly heavy body punching, but to the
| crowd the pulling and hauling and
wrestling and maneuvering to break
! away without getting hit looked as
| if the men were soldering. when, II
