STEWART A PROMISING MAN
New Heavyweight Has Speed and
a Knockout Punch
Brooklyn Lad Broke Jack BOnner's
nib and stopped Eight Mem In
SAX Months ScraPping.

New York. April 25.-Its many a year
since Brooklyn. once the home OF cham
pions, has boasted Of having one. But il
looks like II viii not be long before a
premier in the puglistic world will write
his hailing place brooklyn"
That statement will hardly cause a
guessing contest. Every enthusiast OF the
boxing game across the Bridge, and, In
fact, wherever there is one in the greater
city, has heard of Jim Stewart protege
of Billy Elmer, once great fighter him
self and to-day one of the leading instruc-
tors OF the game. Stewards latest feat
was I'm stopping Jack Bonner, of Summit
HIN. He hit him hard that he broke
one of Jacks ribs.
Stewart viii be twenty-one next June.
It's little more than six months ago
that he started in boxing. He took to the
profession ike any one would TO another
1t was with no mercenary object that he
broke into IL. Being a big powerful fell
low he longed for exercise and ran
against Billy Elmer, who invited him to
his gymnasium, which was then located
up on Sixty-hfth street and Broadway.
Elmer saw the fighter in him and In
duced him to take up the game. He did,
and I'm those six months that have passed
since he first glanced at the instructor
he has scored eight knock-outs. All told,
he has had nine fights, and the worst he
got was draw with the experienced
Fred Bradley. Later Mr.. Bradley paid
for whatever lesson he may have taught,
for Stewart knocked him out in their
second meeting.
stewart by occupation is a draughts-
man in Brooklyn, and is quite able to
make "A living at that, but he likes the
lighting game. lie is in no way afraid of
punishment. and is capable Of taking as
good a beating as he can deal out. This
is vouched for by several members of El-
mer's club, who saw him in "A six-round
bout with big Joe Jeanette. II was El-
mcr' S idea TO find out IL the big Brooklyn
boys heart was in the right place. lie
sent jeanette after the youngster and
told them not to stop. For six rounds
the pair hammered each other around,
and az the end the colored boy was just
as tired as his young foe. He gave
beating and in giving it took one. OF
course Stewart did not display the
knowledge OF the game that did Jeanette,
but he did well II is probably a good
thing for the colored one that stewart
knew so little. o
Anyway, after that the youngster work
ed with Jeanette. and gained lot OF eX-
perience. Then he was put on 10 fight,
and has made goodsever since. If he con-
tinues TO climb as rapidly i'm the next
year as he has in the last six months,
Tommy Burns will have another fellow
10 think about.
Stewart has the physique of "a fighter.
In action he reminds the old-timers OF
Jim Corbott. when the latter was cham
pion His build is almost like Gentle
man Jim's." lie is quick on his feet and
with his hands, and has. as has been said
before, a sleep-producing wallop in either

Special 20 The Washington Herald.
Annapolis. Md, April 25.-One record
was smashed and another equaled as the
result OF the annual interclass field and
track meet held by the Midshipmen to-
day.
While the meet decided the class cham
pionship OF the Naval Academy for the
year, it was held primarily for the pur-
pose OF getting a line on the more promi-
nent athletes in preparation for the COM
ing dual meets with Johns Hopkins uni
versity. Swarthmore, and Columbia, 70
be held at the Academy next month.
The class OF 1908 won the meet with
total OF 54 points out OF a possible III;
the third class was second with "a points;
the fourth class captured third place with
q points. and the second class finished
last with rs points.
The Academy record broken was that
of the broad JUMP, in which Gates 1910,
did y feet 3 inches against the record OF
Navy's best sprinters, equaled the record
for the 22O-yard low hurdles event, cover
ing the distance in - seconds fiat.
All OF the events were spirited and
closely contested, so much SO that two OF
them the high jump and pole vault re-
suited in ties for first place. Carey. the
Maryland athlete who came TO Annapo-
lis from Tome Institute, did well in the
events I'm which he was entered, but his
work was married by the fact that he
fouled Burg in the 2lU- yard dash and Burg
was given the decision.

hand, He is always cool-headed, and the
success he has attained has i'm no way
changed his temperament.
His FIRST serious fight was with Bob
Ward, hsralded as a good one from the
Coast. Ward had the advice Of Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien to act on, but Stew
arts wallops were more effective, and
Ward took to the mat for the count OF
ten i'm the second round. Stewart not only
outboxed the more experienced Ward,
but gave him a beating such as O'Brien
never did in the training stable
