BARRY GOES WRONG
AFTER FIRST ROUND
Neglects Training and Fred Brad
ley Has Him Sailing for
Wind.

NEW YORK. Sept. FIRED Bradley,
of Boston, earned the decision over Jim
Barry, of Chicago, last night at the
Princess Club, after six rounds of
vicious fighting.
The outcome of the bout was a big
surprise to the members. It was ex-
pected that Bradley had little chance
with the Iron Man from Chicago, who
has made quite a reputation for himself
throughout the country, notwithstand-
ing his defeat at the hands OF Sam
Lagford.
BY the way, it win be sad news for
Sam, who was figuring on getting Barry
again and putting in a rev tons of
coal for the winter. Barry held Brad
ley too cheaply and neglected his train
ing. He was fat and after beating
Bradley all the way in the first round,
blew up. Not until the fourth did he
show any signs of coming back. while
Bradley forced the lighting round after
round, and had Barry stalling for wind
in every round.

NO MINORS At TRACKS.

Them HHhOut Parents.

The first step looking to what may he a gen
eral reform in the government of the turf in this
state made yesterday at meeting OF the
stewards of the Jockey Club and representa-
tves of the various racing associations held in
he Windsor Arcade So much has been said in
he campaign waged against raCetraCk betting
during the last four months about the demoral-
izing effect attendance at the track had had on
young men that the stewards decided that here
after no minor should be permitted upon any
course under the jurisdiction of the Jockey Club
unless accompanied by his parent or guardian
Under the law minor is any boy under
twenty-one years old or any girl under eighteen
years old, and while il may be difficult TO dis
crmnate in the absence Of a birth certificate. it
is said the rule will be enforced 10 the letter
far possible.
Heretofore boys who were plainly under age
have not been permitted 10 enter, but there was
no hard and fast rule on the subject The
Jockey Club, which has expressed a Willingness
make any reforms TO elevate the standards Of
racing, and If possible save it from the threat
ened annihiIatiou, believes that this move Will
be for the best.
It said -that-etheF suggestions were cOFlsid-
cred but for the present no definite understand
ing was arrived at to the best means for car
rying the reforms further.
