of husky heavyweights who have at
tracted no little attention in recent
months. Athletic club members were
at the ringside to see their champion
perform, and to bet on him. Many
wagers were laid that Allen would win
by the knockout route. Allen looked
like a baby elephant as he climbed
through the ropes and appeared to out
weigh Caresse by fully thirty pounds,
While the boys were being "costumed"
Barney Oldfield was hauled through
the ropes and forced to blush while he
was given a fine ovation. Then he
made a four-word speech.
The round began with Caresse break
ing in front like a quarter horse, stag
gering Allen with straight jabs to the
jaw, and following it up with right
hook to the same place that forced
Allen into the ropes and half way
around. Caresse continued a careful
policy and frequently landed, Allen ap-
pearing bit too slow to defend him.
self
Allen stopped Caresse after two min
utes of fighting in the second round
and after taking considerable punish
ment. CaresSe opened the round by
knocking Allen to his knees with a
right cross. and a few seconds later
put Allen down with a similar punch.
Then Allen went after him and scored
three knockdowns, Caresse taking the
count of nine the second time down
and coming up so groggy that he was
unable to defend himself. Allen put
him down the third time, and while
Referee Blake was counting him out
Captain Dixon of the police depart
ment ordered the fight stopped Allen
appeared affected by stage fright and
moved slowly, always allowing Caresse
plenty of time in which to get set and
lead.
Extra Bout Put On
The management of the club an
nounced that owing to the "brevity"
of the Allen-Caresse bout, Dick Col
Inns and Kid Rees would go on for
four rounds. This bout was put on to
fill in time between the preliminaries
and the main event.
They were so awkward that the
first round resembled a comic section
of a newspaper more than a real fight,
but they succeeded in disturbing the
clouds Of smoke with their wild swings
and were useful on that account. Reese
put Collins down with a left hook to
the jaw, but otherwise no damage was
done. Collins went to the mat four
times in the second round, sometimes
when showed and other times when
Reese got too close and threatening.
| The exhibition to this point was a
farce. Before the third round had gone
half minute Collins went down again
without being hit, and Manager Nc
Carey ordered Referee Blake to stop
the bout. The fans howled in derision
{ at the exhibition
Wolgast entered the ring imme-
diately, accompanied by Manager Tom
/ IJ,.f1
Eddie Webster and Hobo Dougherty
| Memsic followed a few seconds later
with Jack Tippetts, Abdul the Turk
Chicken Duffy and Will Gigem as his
seconds. Frank Picato was introduced
and challenged the winner.

RIAL I'D GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

! himself, tried to anticipate Favorable
legislation, and it stopped the tide OF
sentiment that might have restored rae
ing there, and now all efforts IN that
line have been called off for the present
This buttinsky did not make dime for
himself and only succeeded in graphing
the game. That always is the result
of such selfshness, and always Will be
the same as long as human nature re-
mains unchanged.
Statements have been printed at vari-
Gus times in which James r. Keene is
gwen first place in the list of winning
owners in America for 1909, but Of
fetal statistics give first place to sam
Hildreth. He won seventy-nine races
and S159,11 in purses, while keene won
only twenty-one races and $112,OOO II.
G. Bedwell, Barney Schrieber and Phil
Chinn finished in the order named be-
hind Hildreth and Keene. California
racing last year was quite a boost to
these horsemen.
Barney Schrieber is authority for the
statement that Juarez racing is BOOM
ing and that all doubt regarding the
success of racing there has been dis
PEELED. Barney knows what he is talk
ing about and is not given to saying
things that are not true, so the news
comes as most welcome.
William Rabb, promoter of bush race
meetings that usually fail to benefit
anybody or the sport, was arrested in
New Orleans a few days ago on the
charge of operating a pool room in vio-
lation of the strict laws in that state
against betting on races. Rabb is not
helping the sport any at any time or
anywhere.
Friends of George Memsic are de-
lighted at the exhibition he gave last
night against Wolgast. The MilWau
kee whirlwind has been whipping
everything in sight, but Memsic showed
his old-time form last night and for
the second time should have won. Bar
ring the two punches in the last half
of the ninth, Memsic would have had a
lead so clear that there would have
been no disputing it. He probably is
lacking in the stamina of old, but at
six or ten rounds he is the same old
speedy, clever slugger that was q
lightweight terror two years ago.
The hearts of the L. A. A. c. mem
bers were in their mouths, ready to
slip out on the floor, ALE through the
first round of the Dick Allen Henry
Caresse fight last night. 1t looked for
awhile as if Caresse might put over
the lucky punch, but Allen gamely
went after his man and copped him
with a few of those terrific wallops
of his. Allen needs an electric bat
terry or some of Red Walkers hop to
liven him up a bit in the ring, but
he probably will take on speed with
experience. Then he will be a tough
customer to handle.
News that Sam Langford and Jim
Flynn will hook up February s for a
ten-round scrap created considerable
enthusiasm last night at the fight pa
vilion. Despite the terrorism that at
taches to the name of Langford, the
fans are pulling for Jim because the
old trial horse bars nobody, Jack
Johnson included, and always is will
ing to tackle dark meat as well as the
white, if the fans ask it of him.
