TRACK MEN At WORK

The track team of the South Cen
trail high school turned out yester-
day afternoon for spring practice at
Natatorium park. Considering the
time of the year and the condition
of the weather, a goodly number OF
athletes turned out. They will prac-
tice steadily from now on until the
end of the season.
The Natatorium park grounds are
a great Improvement over the Inter-
state fair grounds because of their
location, being protected from the
winds. The Washington Water
Power Co. has been induced,
through the efforts of Coach Van
Cook, to install shower baths in the
clubhouse and to put in one-fifth
mile cinder path for the use of the
sprinters. A jumping pit will also
be made.
Although the South Central high
school was the only school actively
represented on the field yesterday
the North Central boys will have
the same privileges and equal use

FIGHT FOR TITLE so YEARS AGO;
TOM SAVERS QUITS BUT WINS

Just so years ago the 18th Of
April, Tom Sayers of England and
John G. Heenan of West Troy, N.
Y, fought for the heavyweight
championship of the world near
London.
The following article from Les
Hes Weekly, together with the de-
tails of the famous battle taken
from the files of that year, will be
of much interest now that the
eyes of the pugilistic world are
centered on the Jeffries-Johnson
fight:
This famous fight of half a CEN
fury ago attracted fully as much
attention at the time as the JEFF
fries-Johnson mix-up is doing to-
day. The championship belt was
held by Tom Savers, of England
who won it in 1857 from Perry
(the Upton Slasher), together
with side bet of G2OO. John C.
Heenan, of West Troy, N. Y, chal
lenged Sayers for the belt and a
920O side bet in August, 1859
STIMULATING that the fight must
take place near London, England
under the London prize-ring rules
Heenan arrived in Liverpool Jan
uary 16, 1860. after the acceptance
OF his challenge, but he was Sc
overwhelmed with entertainment
that he had to leave for London

match, he went to wiltshire Downs

did not fight like a champion and
showed either lack of training or
no desire to mix it up.
Several times he overlooked
chances to land effective blows,
and when he did land there was no
steam behind his punches. He did
not land real hard punch during
the six rounds and contented him
self with using defensive tactics at
every opportunity.
1t was not a satisfactory fight,

to witness a hard. fought battle
were sadly disappointed. Several

pleasure by kissing the fighters and
