Too Much for the Ex-
Olympian |
BY r. A. Sn1yth

Tad Rlordan. the ex-Olympic Club
boxer. was spared the humiliation OF q
Knockout In bout with 'sBatting'e
Johnson last night. but the decision
went against him. marking the drsf re-
verse he has ever experienced in the
prize ring. Police Lieutenant Kelly
stopped the fight IN the third round.
as Riordan was practically defenseless.
When they shaped up In the hrst
round johnson covered up and his op-
ponent could not lay q glove on him.
Near the end Of the round Johnson
changed his tactics and did some eff
fecttve work with straight left.
Johnson used right and left effective
ly early IN the second round and soon
had his opponent alternately swinging
wildly and then hanging on Near the
end OF the round they stood uD and
slugged without trying TO guard the
blows. When the bell sounded Rfor-
dan did not know where his corner
was located. For a time in the third
round both seemed groggy, but John
son recovered and had Riordan hang
ing on the rope when the police stopped
the bout Johnson showed wonderful
improvement since his last fight His
most effective blows were - straight
left followed by a right hook
Dick Sullivan punished George Mur-
ray severely in their bout Murray
took the place of Walter Stanton, who
was advertised to appear, although the
club management knew he was in Reno.
The fights attracted a crowd which
packed DreamIand Pavilion to the
doors.
Monk EnochS quit under punishment
in the second round of his fight with
Willie Ritchie.
Jim Beynan wore Eddie Lovejoy
down with right hand punches to the
body and then outpointed him handily
after the fight had gone the full four
rounds.
Kyle Whitney knocked out Joe Mitch
ell when there was 40 seconds to go OF
the fourth round Of their bout The
blow was a clean left to the jaw and
Mitchell did not seem to feel the ef-
feet for an instant. He dropped his
hands to his side, staggered about and
then sank unconscious to the floor
Mitchell did not hear the bell at the
end Of the first round and for time
there was a battle royal in which the
two fighters. the referee and all the
seconds took part, to the great delight
OF the spectators.
The bout between Tom Barry and
Willie Johnson was more of a wrest-
ling match than a fight The men were
clinched most of the time while they
struggled all over the ring. Barry
used his elbow and tried all the for
hidden tricks OF the foul fighter, but
he was entitled to the decision which
Referee Hanlon gave him.

NEWSY STATE NOTES.

The secretary OF the interior Monday
announced that he had abolished the
Office of agent at the Cheyenne River
Indian agency In South Dakota and put
Charles w. Rastall formerly clerk in
the agency, in charge as bonded super
intendent. Ira Hatch, former agent,
resigned nearly year ago and Special
Agent Douris has been in charge since
then. The Office of agent is part of the
senatorial patronage, but Senators Gam
BILE and Kittredge could not agree on a
man for the place and the secretary
took advantage of the law permitting
him to place the agency in the charge Of
bonded superintendent and made his
own selection for appointment. The
new officer is in tire classified service
and does not have TO be confirmed by
the senate.
Captain Seth Bullock, United States
marshal for the district of South Oak ota
who at the invitation of President
Roosevelt accompanied the president
and his party on part of his western
tour, tells some interesting incidents of
the trip. The president wanted Mr.
Bullock to accompany him through the
entire trip but the captain had other
business in connection with his office
which prevented lis doing so How
ever, he met the president and his party
at Keokuk and accompanied the presi-
dent on the river trip to st. Louis. Mr.
Bullock in speaking of the trip says
that it was an enthusiastic reception for
the president throughout and showed
conclusivsly that il the president per-
mitted his name to go before the next
national convention that he would be an
easy winner. But he believes that the
president is just as determined as ever
in his resolution not to be candidate.
