WITH 100000 HE HOLDS
ON TO HIS $40 A WEEK

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-With $4,000
In securities and $4,000 In cash, Ray
mond |. Blakeslee, 81 lawyer of 81 Mas
sau street, made his way to the cellar
and machinery rooms Of Keith d Proc
tors theater, at Twenty-eighth street
and Broadway, a week ago and found
Watson Raine, q bent and grizzled en-
gineer, at work there. Mr.. Blakeslee
turned over the $50, 900 to Raine and told
him he would receive in a short time
about $4,000 more, the balance of a
legacy from Hardy Bliss, brother of
Raines mother and "a wealthy land
holder of Canada, who died recently
leaving one-fourth of his estate TO the
engineer.
Raine took the money, heard the law
years explanation of it's source. and
kept right on at work. He still tolls
from to o'clock every day, and has
told his employers that he will continue
to act as engineer of the playhouse
until he dies or is discharged. He did
not tell them anything about his legacy
until by chance yesterday F. f. Proc
tor jr visited Raine, who has been en-
ployed for twenty years by f. F. Proc
tor Mr.. Proctor noticed several new
tools, apparently of the finest grade,
in the engine room and asked where
they had come from.
II bought EN-" said the engineer,
bluntly.
Mr.. Proctor's inquiries finally elicted
a reluctant announcement of the legacy
Raine then asked that Mr.. Proctor take
charge of the 900 for him, and ar
rangements were made TO deposit it to
his credit in banks and trust companies
His wages are $40 a week.

however, became ratified and surprised
the crowd by stating that although
Gorbett had lost, all bets were declared
off. There was something queer about
this fight, and direct charges were
made that 1t was a fake. But nothing
was proved even after an investiga ton
by Big Tim Sullivan had been held.
Kelly was accused of having had a
bet for himself on Corbett, but this
was believed to he idle gossip. The
decision caused no end of discussion
and resulted IN Kelly's finish as q
referee.
Probably the rawest judge of a ring
contest that ever rendered decision
was Wyatt carp, who was known as
a gunfghter and bad man generally
on the coast
carp refereed the Fitzsimmons-
Sharkey fight at San Francisco When
Titz lost on an alleged foul, which
was pronounced highway robbery
by close observers, carp got into the
ring with q cannon i'm his hip pocket.
He had received instructions to give
the fight to Sharkey on a foul and he
was there with the goods when the
proper time arrived.
When Sharzey fell to the floor in
agony carp declared him the winner
and jumped out of the ring amid a
wild scene. But nobody had the nerve
to intercept him. Little has been heard
of EarD since.

TRACK ATHLETES ARE
TRAINING FOR CINDERS

~ ESPITE the weather conditions
prevailing recently, track ath-
letes OF Southern California have
been training steadily in preparation
for the coming season of cinder sport.
Many members Of the teams which
contested last year have not returned
but promising assortment Of material
Is at hand and the intercollegiate track
competitions should result i'm some keen
rivalry
The academic schools are not to be
outdone by their senior brethren and
at least five strong teams will be put
on the field I'm the immediate vicinity
of Los Angeles. Throop Polytechnic,
Harvard Military academy, Los An
geles high, Los Angeles Polytechnic
and Pasadena high are all confident Of
securing the Southern California cham
pionship and unless some Of the coun-
try high schools develop unexpected
strength one of the quintet will carry
away the honors
1t would be impossible to make u
strong prediction at the present time
as to which of the five may be ex-
pected to win out, as several strong
men have been lost to each representa-
tion.
Los Angeles nlgn SutterS a serious
handicap i'm the loss of Horace Dom
nell one of the fastest academic sprint
ers in the south, Holmes, the half
miller and holder of the inter-scholastic
record of Southern California, will also
be missed this year. Youngs, who was
counted upon to take the hurdles, Is
another loss sustained by the local
highs.
Throop experiences a severe loss in
Crowley, an all around athlete whose
record in the pole vault is five feet five
and one-half inches.
Los Angeles Polytechnic gains by
the loss of the Los Angeles highs, as
Holmes has registered at the Poly
technic institution. Clark Bonner, an
Occidental college prep, has also en-
tered the Polytechnic school.
Coach Hamilton of Harvard Military
academy is rather uncertain as to the
grade of track work to be expected
from his men. Cline and Lee are the
best men available and probably most
of Harvard's laurels will come through
them. Two years ago when Forrest
Stanton was breaking into the lime
light as a local star Harvard annexed
the Southern California championship.
Stars Leave
1t does not appear as though sensa-
tional performances would enter into
the academic season, judging from the
material at hand. Crowley and DON
nell of high school and Richardson of
Santa Paula are not in the running and
none of the present men have showed
record breaking proclivities.
Throop Polytechnic has the follow

Good competent boxing referees are
scarce nowadays. or the men active
IN presiding over the championship
glove fights during the last ten or Af-
teen years George Siler of Chicago is
practically the only one still In harness
Silers most recent engagement was
In the GansNelson battle at Goldfield,
New, when he declared The colored mar
winner on foul in the fortysthird
round, much to the satisfaction of a
majority of the spectators
Siler has refereed many fights. Some
were private affairs at which there were
comparatively few spectators because
OF the obscure regulations of the prin
cipals, while others attracted the atten-
tion of sporting men all over the world
Because of an almost perfect knowl-
= edge of the rules of he ring, coupled
with rugged honesty and cool headed
judgment, Siler has come to be regard
ed as the best boxing referee in Ameri-
CO II not I'm the world. Much of his
1ame has been earned by presiding over
heavyweight contests, several of them
for the chamr ionship.
When Corbett put old Cullivan out at
New Orleans, nearly fifteen years ago
John Duffy was the referee. When Sui

the Empire Athletic club at Maspeth
II was at this club that Hurst presided
over the never to be forgotten Walcott-
Levigne fight probably the most sem
sational mill ever seen i'm this country.
Hurst refereed the Sharkey- Mccoy
mill at the Lenox Athletic club and
showed his shrewdness to a marked
degree. The fight was going against
Mccoy when suddenly, in the eighth
round, the kid PIT his hands over
his stomach.
"He foulcd me, Tint" walled Mccoy.
Hurst was purple with rage as he began
to count off the seconds.
"One, two! You miserable faker!" he
yelled, as he paused between counts.
You can't fool me with that bunk bust =.

Get up and fight like a man! Five Six!

Eight! You coward! l can lick you
myself! Ninel'
Now take the beating that is coming
and don't depend on me to help you
escape it!' Sharkey knocked the Kid
out I'm the tenth round.
Honest John Kelly was another well
known referee, but he was always IN
het water. Kelly, once National
league baseball umpire and good one,
too, went down to Jacksonville 10
referee the Corbett- Mitchell fight.
When John got into the ring he saw
in the crowd some of the toughest GUS
toners in the world. They had guns in
their hip pockets and were well supplied
with whisky and money which they bet
on Corbett. Kelly was introduced to
the mob and looked nervous.
Corbett Fouls Mitchell
Corbett trained to the hour, had a
personal grudge against Mitchell and
was ready to fly off at tangent.
Mitchell knew this and was also fully
aware that he was in for a good beat
ing, as the Engishman at that time
had entered the back number class.
SO as soon as the fight was under way
Mitchell began to apply all sorts of vile
epithets to Corbett, which soon made the
latter fairly crazy with rage. In n
sharp mixup in the second round
Mitchell fell to the floor. Corbett a per-
feet wild man, landed punch on the
Englishman's head while the latter was
still down, committing a clean cut foul.
Foul FOUL" yelled the men in
Mitchelrs corner and the crowd leaped
up in an uproar. All eyes were on
Kelly. He saw whisky bottles and
guns brandished on all sides and he
lost no time in arriving at the conclu-
SlOii tlitil ilO lOul ildu ptCli Cullllllllltu.
This ruling saved Corbett and also
the money that had been wagered on
him. Kelly told some friends after
ward that he was lucky to get out of
Jacksonville alive.
Referee Saves Corbett
1t was the Corbett-Sharkey fight at
the Lenox Athletic club several years
later that gave Kelly a black eye in
the estimation of ring followers When
Corbett, beaten to standstill had
his second, Con McVey, jump into the
ring in the tenth round to save him.
Kelly should have decided Sharkey the
winner then and there on foul under
the strict wording of the rules Kelly,
