FICHTALISTLESS DRAW
Veteran Twin Shows That He Has Gone
Back and Youngster IS Too Green
By WILLIAM ]. SLATTERY

out of the corner butcher shop. Man
tell bled profusely, but he was strong
and game and the beating about the
head apparently had no effect upon
him. He was never in distress, while
Sullivan was very tired at the finish.
When .he did jump into the lead,
Sullivan used the heels of his gloves,
his elbows and his head to advantage.
Mantell did not seem to know any bet
ter than to stand there and take 1t.
cree, SO Sullivan was allowed to go
right ahead and use everything he
knew. Still, he could not hold lead
long enough to entitle him to victory.
The best fighting was done along
about the thirteenth. fourteenth and
fifteenth rounds. Both men opened up
in these stages. Mantell especially. He
slapped in many hard right to Sulli-
vans jaw and forced the Twin all
around the ring, and the only thing
which saved Sullivan was his ability
TO come back with a rally just. when
he seemed ready to be dropped
Joe Willis, the big heavy weight, ac-
cording to his manager, Billy Carauth-
ers, got cold feet, and Carauthers dug
up big fellow named Jack Burke as
a substitute to fight Young Peter Jack
son. Burke was in no shape, and en-
tered the ring with his mind fully
made up to flop at the first available
opportunity. and he lost no time doin
a haymaker which went around Burke s
neck, but this was enough for him, as
he lowered himself to the canvas and
wriggled around for 10 seconds while
Referee Toby Irwin counted him out
The club officials are more to be CEN
sured than the fighters, as they should
have never allowed a fighter to enter
the ring in Burkes condition. They
were aware all along that Willis was
not to fight, but they insisted he would
appear just the same.
AS far as Jackson was concerned he
could not be blamed. He was willing
to fight any one, and he did the best
he could against the man that was sub
stituted. 1t would have been better for
the club officials TO have substituted
another event when they knew Willis
was not to appear 1t was a clear case
of bunkoing the public.
Percy Cove outfought Joe Ieahy in
six rounds and Referee Toby Irwin
gave the palm to Cove. The Seattle
spider did all the fighting. Leahy held
his own in the first round, but after
that Cove was the aggressor. He had
good lead in the second round and
started the claret from Leahy's nose.
Cove kept fighting all the time. He
kept swinging both hands and while
many of the blows failed to reach their
mark, the punches that landed were
enough to slow the local lad. The con-
test was full of action throughout.
The San Francisco call., 1909-09-07

Jack Twin sullivan and Frank Man
tell stalled and tugged and wrestled
around the Coliseum ring last night
for 30 rounds and at the finish Referee
Harry Foley pointed both hands sky
ward. signaling a draw. This is about
the only decision that does nobody
harm. 1t might have been called no
contest and the decision might nave
gone to either man had a referee seen
his way clear to indulge in mathe-
matics. The draw was accepted by
most of the fans as quite correct,
though a few of them Missed.
The battle ranks with the many
other disappointing ones that have
been pulled off here during the last
year. The few flashes of speed which
the men showed did not tend to square
themselves for the slovenly Work
which they pulled off most Of the time.
Sullivan loomed up and fought like an
old man, while Mantell failed to dis
bring him to the front. He proved a
very disappointing fighter.

rush him hard from the fifteenth to

young fellow from Providence known
the game at all he could nave met
Sullivan squarely and carried off the
palm. But the best he did was TO
swing around like wild man.
There was not one good, lively
round in the 90. Both men would oc-
casionally brace. up a bit and land
their rights. flush on each others Jaw,
but even this did not have the effect OF
cheering the gallery up. Neither could
hit hard enough TO fiatten a hunk OF
cheese. Mantell had a shade on the
nimble Twin as far as this particular
part of the game went, but this is not
much of a boost for him, because Sui
livan is only the shadow OF once

In the earlier rounds it looked as

never fought here before, made the
fight look very bad to the smart ones

|BARB'S RUGBY TEAM
DEFEATS THE FRESHMEN
Pomeroy's Field Goal Kick and Leo Meyers
Great Run Are Features
By WILLIAM UNMACK

The California freshmen yesterday
did not play up to the same standard
they exhibited Saturday and the Bar
barians also played a loose game. Both
teams failed at critical stages to take
the ball neatly. Fumbles and knock
ons were prevalent. Nevertheless for
first games these delinquencies must
be expected. Comparing the present
freshmen with those of last year, the
1913 youngsters look to me as being
far more advanced in the game than
last years babies.
This statement is borne out when it
is known that last year the Barbarians
administered a severe defeat of 26 to 0
to the babies. This year the Barbs
could only score half that amount and
won by Is to 0.
A goal dropped from the field of
play during the action of a game is
very seldom seen in any Rugby coun-
try these days. though years ago this
mode of scoring was frequent. When
Pomeroy of the Barbarians dropped a
goal he was, therefore. rightly ap-
plauded for his fine kick He was in
good position to take a chance. but
his opponents were coming at him from
all sides.
The other feature of the day was the
magnificent run of Leo Meyers, the
Lowell high school captain, who was
playing on the Barbs' three-quarter
line. Meyer secured the ball near his
own 25 yard line and. raced down the
field, lodging several of his opponents,
outdistancing them all, and finally
planted the ball behind the posts.
For the winners Sharpe Pomeroy,
Meyer. Harriet. Elliot and Davis Were
always conspicuous. In the forwards
Browne was by far the best man on
the field. Sadler. Mum and Smith were
also prominent. For the freshies Peart
at fullback played a good game. SAILS
bury was the best of the other men,
and on his two games gives the i'm
preston that he will be a contender
for the varsity team this year Hart
man and Mini did well in the backs
- Both sides used a number of sub
stitutes during the game. The teams
lined up a. S follows:
