LEACH CROSS
HARD LACED

NEW YORK October 22.-That loud
bang" about 1870 last night was the
bursting of Leach Cross's overinhated
reputation, punctured by young Mr..
Mcfarland, of Chicago. The hollow
grOaning sound that rumbled over
Harlem about the same time came
from the heaving bosoms of the Cross
cohorts that sat two or more in a seat
in the Fairmont A. G. and struggled
for standing room on each others
corns at s. per stand. The wild pean
of triumph came from few loyal Irish
and others who wanted to see Cross
beaten on general principles.
Packey Mcfarland outclassed Cross
in five of the six rounds so far that
the latter lonE,7 like a f1fth-rater. AS
coming Lightweight champion of
the world Cross is now good joke.
The fight was ushered in with much
pomp to the delight of a crowd that
filled the Fairmont from floor to raf-
ters in layers like a chocolate cake
Whew! What a mob; A fire in the
Fairmont last night would have left
New York looking like a village. We
were all there, and then a few more
from outlying districts.
! 1t was a good-natured crowd. Those
that couldn't find room to get botl
feet on the floor stood on one leg un
complainingly from s o'clock to neal
midnight. Four slugging preliminaries
winding up with cataclysm between
two walloping lightweights known al
Willie Herman and Ben Douglas, made
the mob lick its lips and howl for The
main course.

IS PROMISED

VANCOUVER, November 5. 49, A
great fight should be the result when
Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson meet
in the ring in Australia next month.
Johnson, 6 feet 2 inches tall, and seal
ing at 200 pounds tlghting weight, has
been trying to make a match with
Burns for two years. He has always
maintained that he could beat Burns
in a limited round bout or to a finish,
and has repeatedly offered to stop the
champion inside of twenty rounds or
forfeit all shares of the purse. When
Burns beat Jack O'Brien in Los An
geles and proclaimed himself cham
pion of the world Johnson got on his
trail Immediately, but was turned down
cold. At last Burns has given the
black smoke a chance to fight, and
American fight experts are now dop-
ing a winner. They are doing lot Of
knocking when Burns side of the
question is taken up, and to read the
average American journal one would
be led to believe that Burns is without
friends in Uncle SANS domain.
Which will carry the day? Burns is
fast, aggressive and a hard hitter. He

ALLEN HERBERT'S BIG
PACIFICATION FEAST

Allan Herbert's feast to the elect
and the non-elect of the parties in the
recent campaign, at his most charm
ing retreat at Wailele on Sunday, was
unique in its exceeding informality,
sumptuous in it's nature, warmhearted
but absolutely transformations in the
universally beloved hosts welcome
and altogether supremely delightful.
In the forenoon a prelude to the po-
litical lovefeast took place in the form
of luau to all Mr.. Herbert's neigh
bors. For the candidates and party
workers the feast was a barbecue, a
progressive affair, from l to 5 o'clock.
The guests were irregular in times of
arrival, probably on account of
the distances they travelled ranging
from half mile to seven or eight
miles. AS fast as one or two, or half
a dozen, came they were welcomed by
Mr.. Herbert in the cocoanut leaf rest
ing booth, which is one of the features
of the place, and conducted to the ban
quoting lanai. There a long table
against the wall was laden with vast
cuts of roast OK done beautifully
brown, huge slabs of most deliciously
corned fat beef cold, great pans OF
brown baked beans and pork of melt
ing lusciousness, countless whole
loaves of bread like mother made, -
condiments, papaias, etc. There was
beer from a chilled key on the side
and purest mountain water for al who
eschewed the mild stimulant.
There were no toasts or speeches,
nothing to make formal stiffness or
trap the unwary elect into inadvertent
divulgence of ''po1icies," or anybody
into post norton lCquacity that might
sour or ranIle, but just a plain free
dom of the home to all. AS the guests
finished their square meal they retired
at will to the billiard room pavilion,
! for smoke and a game of cards, or
strolled to other places in the viz
unity, or sat around relating hunors
of the campaign, until they felt like
taking their leave. And they left
struggling as they came.
All were delighted with the origin
ality and individuality of Mr.. Herbert
shown in the construction of his
mountain retreat. On one side the
white cottage of plain but picturesque
design forming the home proper Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert, its private APP
proach adorned with an elevated sta
tuette and a bell. Next the road are

CANADIAN RUGBY
OUT OF DATE

VANCOUVER, November 6.-Foot-
ball as played in Eastern Canada is a
mixture of the English and United
States rules, but it more closely re-
sembles the Old Country rules than
does that of the game played in the
States.
An old Rugby footballer, a Canadian
too, who learned the game in South
Africa, and has played under British
rules in several Of the clubs from
which the historic "Springbokken"
were recruited, after witnessing
game in Montreal recently gave his
impression of the Canadian game.
Though his remarks may not be agreed
with they are as follows:
Though not yet protesting to thor
oughly understand the Canadian game,
l am greatly disappointed in it. Nat
urally, as an adherent of the old school
of Rugby, | am liable to be accused
of prejudice, but not fairly, for l hon
estly expected to find some improve
ment on the old game, and was pre-
pared to appreciate them.
Blunt, and to the point, as a foot
baller has the privilege of being,
think the Canadian game is rotten.
It is uninteresting to watch and dan
gerous to play.
The game is apparently a conglom-
Grafton of Yankee football, Rugby, la
crosse and free fight. Had orthodox
Rugby a foothold in Canada this game
Of ours would not last a single season
Yankee influence has undoubtedly
had much to do with these changes in
our game. They have been spelling
the game ever since they took hold OF
it, until at last they are commencing
to come back to the fold of the or
thodox game-notably in California
From what saw on Saturday, should
say that we Eastern Canadians would
do well to do likewise"
