POLICE BUSY WITH
N. Y. PRIZE FIGHTS

NEW YORK, April marked police
activity is noticeable since Governor
Hughes has made inquiries concerning
the holding Of prize fights in New York.
Following the raid Monday night on
the Marathon A. c., of Brooklyn, In
which two boxers, their handlers and
the ring official were arrested, the po-
lice interrupted a fight last night in q
cellar beneath a saloon In Seventh ave
nue.. Three hundred men were assem-
bled to witness three fights. but the po-
lice stopped the contests after two had
been held and arrested the fighters, the
referee and the timekeeper.
Last nights fights were well adver-
tised as a "testimoniar' on the par
of friends Of a local pugilist. Tickets
according to the police, were sold fol
$1.50 and the box office discontinued
business only when the basement was
full. Four policemen succeeded in pur'
chasing tickets and they were among
the crowd which gathered around
dimly lighted ring. The only entrance
to the cellar was, by a trap door In tn
floor@of the saloon above.
When the third bout was about t
start a policeman jumped into the
ring. The spectators rushed for tn
ladder leading to the trap door, bu
there they were met by q. large squat
of officers who turned soda syphon bot
ties upon them and beat them back
wet, frightened and angry. The pris
oners were arraigned in the night cour
and held in $500 bail each for examina
ton today.

BLACKBERRY FIGHT
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Danny Savage is acting as trainer
for Bill Leary, the hard-hitting Glad
stone boxer who has many matches in
view. Kid Black is to fight Leary next
Tuesday night at the Long Acre. Leary
will fight Johnny Carroll, Of Brooklyn,
in a short time. He fought the Brook
Ignite once before and made him go
some in order to make a showing
against him. This time Leary figures
that he will be able to dispose Of Car
roll. The fight with Black is sure to
cause much interest in fight circles
throughout Jersey. Black has tickets
for the fight at 294 Market street.
Savage and Learyare old-time friends
although they have engaged in two
torrid fistic arguments at the Long
Acre A.. c., in New York. In the last
fight Leary was the victor by a good
margin. Savage has been working
with his brother Jim for his fight with
Herbert Rohrman at Browns gymna-
stun in New York on Tuesday night.

that he will bet $4,000 that Kaufman

These are the headline fight items OF
the day. Britt cannot allow Billy De-
laney or Kaufman to get away with
any such line of dope. and says that
Kaufman has not got a chance Of put
ting the K. o. sign on Ketchel in ten
rounds; on the contrary. AKetchel can
win from Kaufman in six rounds. Britt
also announces that Ketchel will give
Burns a fight at any time. johnson be-
lieves that Jeffr1es will not fight, ana
that Kaufman is the logical candidate
for honors. In size Kaufman compares
most ifavurably with johnson.

KLINE AND BLACK FIGHT
TOMORROW NIGHT in N. Y.
Both Local Boys Fit for Hard. Battle at the
Whirlwind- Kline Boxes Eddie Kelly.
Black Meets 'DOdO" Maher.

Patsy Kline and Kid Black, two
Newark boys, who have been making
good In the pugilistic arena are sched-
uled to have some hard battling tomor-
row night, when they meet Eddie
Kelly and Dodo Maher. In Kelly, Kline
will find that he has IN opponent who
will keep him busy and Maher is a
fighter from the start of the exhibition
until the finish. Both local lads are
in good shape, and many Newark
members of the Whirlwind Club will be
on hand. This Is the most important
fight for Kline since his fight with At
tell; in fact, 1t is the most important
night in his boxing career because no
one expected that Patsy would put the
clever and shifty Attell away. How
ever, many Of his local admirers believe
that he has a good chance of putting
the sleep wallop IN Kelly. Black is the
hero of over 300 battles. He is cool
under fire and can kick with consider
sble emphasis. Newark fight fans are
sure to witness two good fights.

stock high. The lads KNEE was in bad
shape previous to hat bout. and that

IN splendid shape, and expects to put
Kelly. away with little trouble, though
realizing that his opponent is there with
the mits to a great extent.
Eddy Kelly has always given the fight
fans a good run Tor their money. and as
the same Is certainly true of Patsy, a hot
battle Is bound to result, because both
men are fighters and in good shape. Kelly
has fought with Attell on two occasions,
but did not show the class against the
champion that Kline did. He is a rough
young man. He learned a great deal from
Battling Nelson when he was the ~latter'e
sparring partner, and he uses them for all
they are worth. Patsy has a campaign
all figured out to stop %anythin0 that Eddy
has in his repertoire of hooks and Jabs,
and is confident that he can trim the pupil
of the redoubtable Nelson quickly and de-
~cfsively.
Many Newarkers will take the trip over
on the New York side to see the little
fellows clash. Almost n thousand tickets
were sold right here In Newark for the

a large number will be disposed of here

valuable to any team. That he will
stick with Jersey City is now almost a
f%oregone conclusion, and lie carries
with him the best wishes of a whole
army of friends in this city.
1t looks very much as though Billy
was destined to become one Of the few
really great ball players. He eats,
drinks and sleeps baseball and, when
in a game, is alert for the selling of
every chance. He is. not afraid to go
after a ball just because it happens to
look safe, but will take liberties with
his fielding averages, if, by doing so, he
thinks he can help his team on to VIC
tory. AS a batter, he Is very strong
and his showing last Sunday against
Billy Murray's up there" pitchers
only proved the foregoing assertion
He is truly a Newark product and his
league career will be watched with
careful interest.
Some of his work around third base

rooters.
