For First Time In History Of Prize
Ring in Pennsylvania Women were
Admitted to Public Boxing
Bout.
MANY HORSES ENTERED POPULAR WIN KAUFMAN
California Heavyweight Had it on
Bill Lang In Six Round Go Be-
fore 1000 Spectators
Story Of Bout.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. al Kauf-
last night got the popular decision
over Bill Lang, the Australian heavy
weight, in siX-rou1d bout at the
National League ball park. In only
one round did the Australian show to
advantage, the second, in which he
fought back and punished the Cali
fornian as severely as the latter had
hurt him in the opening round. From
this round to the close of the fight
Kaufman had all the advantage.
The fight as a spectacular exhibit
ton was disappointing. Time and
again Lang would lead with his left
and then rush to clinch, it requiring
the assistance of the referee to force
the men apart. In the fifth round
Kaufman drove Lang to the ropes and
had him in evident distress, but the
Australian grabbed his heavy oppon
ent and hung on long enough to save
him from probable knockout.
In the sixth round Kaufman rushed
his man all around the ring, but was
unable to land the knockout blow.
Kaufman left the ring without mark
while Lang's face was swollen and
there was cut between his eyes
where Kaufman had sent hard left.
When the principals appeared in
the ring there were between 1000
and 5000 persons in the park. Seated
in the boxes and through the big
grand stand there were many women,
who had been admitted to public
boxing bout for the first time in the
history of the sport in the city.
The ring was pitched midway be-
tween the home plate and the pitch
er's box and was perfectly lighted by
giant arc lights suspended from the
top of the grand stand
Kaufman had in his corner, as chief
adviser Billy Delaney, probably one
of the greatest seconds in the coun-
try, while Kid Mccoy looked after
Lang.
Others in Kaufman's corner were
Bob Deadly and Tom Kennedy, while
Jim Corbett, Hugh Mcintosh and
Charlie Griffith assisted Mccoy in
taking care of the Australian.

CROWDS ABOUT
CUT IN HALF
Threatening Weather Throughout Gen.
trail Association Puts Big Crimp
in Attendance.

Threatening and inclement weather
throughout the Central Association on
Labor Day cut the holiday attendance
in half and The Gate City today esti-
mates that the total figures will not
go over the $500 mark. While it is
many more than were attracted to
the four parks last year, yet little re-
lief will be given the clubs when the
money Is pooled, as 1t is three times
a year. About $1,000 will be divided
among eight clubs, meaning less than
$3.50 apiece.
Ottumwa was the leader with 1913
However, it is impossible to arrive at
the exact number. The report comes
from Monmouth that 500 fans were
there, meaning total attendance Of
1000. At Keokuk the figures were
1,07o, and at Burlington G42, which
doubled is 1924. The figures In a
total reach the 1868 mark.

DliZer's Hit in TweLhh 71ghtens Pennant Race

again in the fifth, although Bresna-
hans wild heave about twenty feet
over Miller's head assisted the gentle
pennant fighters to the killing. Clarke
was handed the ticket to first on this
occasion and Jerger shot down sac
rifice in Bresnahan's direction. Con-
ME made his first mistake in several
games and he sure made it worth
while, for the heave almost went out
of the park. Both runners were
pushed around, Clarke stopping on
third as per ground rules and Jerger
ambling to second Hartman and
Fleming flew out to the outfield, max
ing two down. Burg hit slow roller
to Pennington. The big shortstop
came in on the ball and folded it to
first, but the speedy Burg beat the
throw and was safe. A score counted
and Donahue went out, Blue Jacket
to Miller.

keokuk's Opportunities

keokuk had just about three real
chances to score, but hit could not
be found until the sixth when they
came thick and fast. Blue Jacket led
of the inning with a scratch clout
through Burg and Hunter dumped one
out into right field. Herbert sacri-
feed both runners Bresnahan hit a
fast one about a foot inside the third
base line Blue Jacket scored. but
Hunter was caught at the plate on
Patterson's perfect throw from the
field. The game should have been
won on Reichle's hit and would have
had it not been for the powerful arm
OF Joe Burg. Ed cut into fast one
and sent it skipping between third and
short. The best Burg could do was
knock the ball down and Bresnahan
thought he saw chance to score from
second. He was half way in when
Burg recovered the ball and heaved it
home with great speed and accurf cy,
Clarke nipping Bresnahan at the

followed with a safe one to left and
Bresnahan's was safe when Myers
