New York Sum-

DR.. Matilda Evans, of Columbia, S.
c., is the first Negro woman to prac-
tice medicine in South Carolina.
When Is she entered the school for
Negro children conducted by Miss
Martha Schofield at Aiken, S. G.
From there she went to Oberlin Col
lege, in Philadelphia, where she grad
uated. On returning to her native
city she began practice among the
Negroes and soon realizing the needs
of her people for a hospital, rented
the old home of a white family for
that purpose. This was the first hos
pital opened in the capital of South
Carolina. At one time during the
past winter DR.. Evans had in this hos
pital twenty-seven patients. although
there were only suitable accommoda.
tions for twelve. 1t is said that every
dollar Dr. Evans earns IN her private
practice goes to improve her hospital,
which has been in operation about
ten years.

BOXING GETS
SUDDEN SETBACK
Australian Authorities May
Take Action Following
Burns-J Johnson Go.

Sydney, N. S. W., Dec. 31.-William
H Wood, chief secretary of New South
Wales, in an interview yesterday, said
that the prize fight situation at Sydney
was being given serious consideration
by the government authorities, as the
Burns Johnson contest last Saturday
sevired of being mire brutal and re-
pulsive then scientific. He declared
that unless inf1ghting was eliminated
boxing here would have to be regarded
as an illegitimate sport.
Mr.. Wood said that an attempt
would be made to amend the law so as
to make New South Wales less of a
happy hunting ground for securing big
stakes than in the last contest, as 1t
was desired that sydney should cor
respond with the Pacific slope regard
ing pugilistic undertakings.
| However, as a result of the low char
acter of pugilism indicated by the
| fight on Saturday. the police will pre-
vent any other contest here betwee n
Burns and Johnson.

Al Kaufman Wins Hot Bat.
tie in Thirty Ninth
Round.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 31.-Al Kauf-
man technically knocked out Jim Barry
in the thirty ninth round of their
scheduled forty five-round bout in the
Jeffries club arena at Vernon last night,
after a long, hard. grueling. fierce bat
tie Barry's seconds threw up the
sponge. saying that both of Barry S
hands were broken. 1t was one of the
longest contests in modern ring an
nails. The men fought with tenacity
and stubborness which was remark
able.
After twenty rounds it developed in
to a contest of endurance. Barry was
a big surprise. He gave Kaufman by
all odds the toughest fight AL has had
since he was beaten by Jack O'Brien.
At times Barry looked like a winner
1t was not until the thirty-seventh
round that Kaufman began to look
like a winner. Up to this round honors
were fairly even and the spectators ex-
lpected to see the men go the limit. But
Kaufman sent Barry to the floor in the
thirty seventh and got him in a bad
way. He pressed his advantage and
Barry's seconds, seeing his chance was
hopeless, decided to give up the fight
two rounds later Concerning his ac-
| ton. Teddy Murphy. Barry's manager
said:
Both of Barry's hands were broker
at the end of the twentieth round. He
had no chance and that is why 1 gave
up the fight"
The men fought two and hal
hours. 1t was the longest fight the
coast has seen in many moons.
Barry did the better work in the
opening of the contest. He was tn,
aggressor in the first round, which h,
opened with a left and right for tn,
head, which Kaufman avoided by step
ping back. A jolt on the jaw in tn,
first session bothered Kaufman and h
swung wildly for Barry's face, Will,

RUHLIN SAYS NEGRO
CAN WHIP JEFFRIES.


New York. Dec. S1-Gus Rubin,
who once held Jim Jeffries TO twenty
round draw and later was knocked out
by Jen in six rounds. is out with a
statement that Jack Johnson can
whip Jeffries as the latter is today.
Jeff has been out Of the game too
long and would surely fall a victim to
the prowess OF the negro. says Rubin
The retired champion is well fixed and
would be foolish to go back and take
a beating even for the big purse he
no doubt would demand.
''As- for Sharkey's fighting Johnson
1t is to laugh. The sailor is four-fiush-
ing. If he really wants to fight I'll
take him on gladly. 1 whipped him
twice and can do it again.
Rubin added that he did not know
of anyone who had chance to beat
the negro.

Eugene Leigh Gives UP At
tempt to Buy Great Horse.

Lexington, KY, Dec. 30.-Eforts to
secure the services of the noted race
horse Hermis for his breeding stud in
France have been made by H. Eugene
Leigh, who recently made an offer to
Henry M. Zeigler to lease the horse for
two years, with the privilege of buy
ing him at the end of that time for
$4,000.
After a conference with Trainer
Charles Hughes today Zeigler refused
Leigh's offer by cable and said that a
price of $4,000 had been placed on
the horse, and that the leasing clause
would not be considered.
Zeigler is anxious to retain Hermis in
the stud, he having purchased him out
of the E. R. Thomas sale for that pur-
pose.

LOUGHREY VICTOR.
Defeats INK Russell in Fast
Bout Near Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 80. = Young
Loughrey tonight beat INK Russell in
a hard fifteen round bout at the Olym-
pic club at Essington. From the start
the fight was Loughrey's, and at close
quarters he battered Russelps head and
body with jabs uppercuts and swings,
bringing blood from Unk's nose in the
third and badly cutting his lips in
the fifth round.
Russell tried to stand off Loughrey
but the latter kept boring in, and
though INK was on his feet when the
final bell sounded he was badly used
up, while Loughrey did not have a
mark.
Tit fight worked the crowd to such
pitch that the sheriff jumped in the
ring in the tenth and told Referee Ro-
cap if he could not preserve better or
der he would stop the bout.
