ONE PUNCH KNOCKS
OUT MacSHERRY

NEW YORK. February 13.-Jay Mac
Sherrys tistic debut at the National
\. c. last night against Sailor Burke
was crying shame. He was Knocked out
practically with the first punch the sailor
shot across. The fellow was green
as a cucumber and he didn't have a
living chance TO win, and the wonder OF
it ali is that lie wasn't killed.
After being knocked down three times
in the first minute of the fight he arose
absolutely helpless. There was nothing
for Referee Jim Buckley to do under the
sun but to stop it. But he didn't. Poor
MacSherry, with his eyes rolling like
those of man who had eaten paris
green, stood near the ropes with his arms
dangling lifeiessly at his sides. Burke
walked up, measured him and MacSherry
went crashing to the floor. His head hit
the boards with a terrible whack.
They dragged MacSherry to his corner
and flung MIN onto the little stool. he
rushed to his aid. \ block of ice was
clapped on the back of his head. but he
showed no signs of life. He was pulled
bodily through the ropes and laid out
on some chairs. After being rubbed
vigorously for ten minutes MacSherry
was able to sit up.
Then Johnny White. Macsherry's man
ager and the matchmaker Of the
National, breathcd easy for the first
time. Well he showed that he was
game and that he could take it," was
all that White had to say. MacSherry
was game and he did take it-toOk his
life in his hands, to be correct-and White
had the pleasure of hearing such men
as Charles Dana Gibson, tinlay Peter
dunno, Jerry Segle. Davy Johnson and
scores of other prominent men Cry
Shame. into his ears.
Many vowed that it was their last
visit 10 the club
Burke himself would have made friends
if he had refused to hit the unfortunate
fellow Nobody moved hand save
Burke. but there wasn't any mercy at
tached to it. Helpless. half-conscious.
unschooled, MacSherry got the full force
of Burke's powerful right arm. and his
head hit the floor harder than that of
any man in the experience of many on
lockers. Such heartless matchmaking
will surely kill the sport in New York.

NEW YORK. February 13-Alfred De
Orc won the match for the three-cush-
ion billiard championship which ended

For three nights he has been playing
with II. 3. Lean in a 150-point match,

had to make 81 before De Orc could
score 30 in order to win. AS on the two
previous nights. the room was filled with
enthusiasts, in spite of the fact that the
result seemed a foregone conclusion.
Lean was in improved form and he
started off we'll. He made run OF in
his fifth inning: in his tenth he ran 4:
) more were added in the thirteenth, and
in the seventeenth he made another run
OF g. so that the score then for the even
ing stood Lean, %; De Orc, ii. De Orc
gained a little in the next few. innings
and then Lean went ahead. In the forty
second inning the score was, Lean, 40;
De Orc, 81 That was the end Of Leans
good work.
De Orc settled down to business and
played wonderfully good game, scor-
ing fast and nearly always leaving the
balls safe. SO that he made %, while
Lean added but to his score.
De Orc made his 80 for the evening,
while Lean made 43, and the final totals
for the three nights play were: De Orc,
80: Lean, 1O3.
