THE FACTS ABOUT

I'D, an Interesting Manner;
Other Goes.

f. The Marquis of Queensbury in. a re
cent article called attention to the
Heenan-Sayers fight on April 1, 1860
unused well known sporting man to-
day. The marquis says that Heenan
had good trip from America to
England; that he did not get sea sick;
that he regarded that as good omen ;
that he was mighty fine fellow;
that he trained good and hard, and
brings Heenan and Sayers right down
to where the reader thinks he is go.
ing to tell the story Of the battle-but
he doesn't tell it. Instead of telling the
story of the fight, he dismisses it by
saying, Whats the use of repeating
the old, old story Of the fight except
to say that it was draw after two
hours and twenty minutes" ILL.,.
The record of that fight shows that
it was a one-sided battle from start
to finish. 1T was fought on the ground
under London prize ring rules. A
round in these rules is not of any
specific time. A round lasts until one
Of the men is either knocked or
thrown down. So that round may be
very long or very short. This fight
was a hard fight because Sayers was
game. The crowd was against Heenan.
It was fought at Marlborough,
England, and the ring was surrounded
by sayers' friends. Sayers was either
knocked down or thrown down at al.
most every round. After 81 rounds had
been fought in two hours and six min.
utes, the referee saw that sayers was
whipped, but he would not give
Heenan the decision, for fear the
,cvrowd would mob him. and he ran
away from the ring. Then they fought
seven. rounds, without any referee, at
the end of which time Heenan knocked
Sayers senseless out Of the ring and
then ran across the ring and knocked
one OF Savers seconds down because
he would not throw up the sponge for
Sayers. There was no referee there
to declare which had won and the
hackers of Sayers claimed that as
there had been no decision they were
entitled to their money back and the
stake holder gave each man his stake
money.

Sayers refused to fight him. TT

Savers refused to fight him. The
English sports knew that Heenan had
won and in order to in measure
square themselves with their own con-
science, they had a meeting and pre-
scented Heenan and Sayers each with
a championship belt, but they never
paid for Heenan's belt SO he had to
give it back. That Is in brief the fight
story which the marquis lodges. N
But that fight was not the one that
should be used in Judging the ability
of Tom Sayers. He was one OF the
greatest boxing fighters that England
or any other country ever produced.
He was a stone mason by trade and
fought best at about 1872 pounds. He
was outclassed in weight by Heenan,
and Heenan whipped him, but did not
get the decision he was entitled to.
He was about the same weight as jim
Mace the greatest boxer that England
ever produced up to the time Of Char
ley Mitchell.
John c. Heenan was born in Troy,
New York, in 1885 and stood six feet
two inches in height and weighed, IN
condition, 100 pounds. He was a retir-
ing sort of a man and did not really
have the disposition for fighter, al
though he was dead game and never
had any idea of quitting after he
started. He had quite a number OF
fights and was really the best man
among the fighters of his time, but
he never won a fight. That is he was
never awarded decision. In 1858 he
fought John Morrissey at Long Point
Canada and was beaten in twenty-one
minutes. In the first round Of the fight
he backed Morrissey in the corner
and struck at him with all his might
Morrissey pulled his head to one side
and Heenan's hand struck the top Of
one Of the stakes of the ring, injurfng
it so he could not use 1t again. during
the fight and he simply fought the
best he could with one hand during the
next ten rounds, while Morrissey beat
him into Inconsistencies.
Heenan Whipped Tom King.
;. Three years after his fight with
Sayers, he went back to England and
fought Tom King. King was said to be
the cleverest man in England at that
time. He had been whipped by Jim
Mace and later had whipped Mace. He
weighed 1872 pounds. King and Heenan
fought twenty-five rounds in thirty
five minutes and King was given the
decision. In the eighteenth round
Heenan won the fight fair and square.
He had had the best of it up to that
and finally knocked King down so
hard that he was unable to come to
the center of the ring at the call of
time and finally knocked King down so
the Savers fight, inundated the
referee, raised big disturbance, and
kept up free for all brawd until King
had had time to come to, and the
referee ordered them to 60 on fighting.
They started at it again and in the
nineteenth round Heenan still had the
best Of it, but in the twentieth and
from then on until the finish he simply
lost. all control of himself and King
punished him terribly in the last three
rounds. Heenan claimed that during
the melee after the eighteenth round
his seconds save him drink that was
drugged and that he moved in dazed
condieNsa after the twentieth round.

Do NOT WISH TO SHOW
BEULAH BlNFORD FILMS
Mr.. Brylawski Says Local Exhib-

to the Proposed Display.

Coupled with the assertion of Com
missioner Rudolph that no pictures de-
picting Beulah Binford, the "other wom-
an In the Beattie case can be shown In

Of A. Brylawsk Of the Exhibitors Asso-

many Of the first-class moving picture
theaters Of the city, that the association
members do not ~esire to show the pic
lures in question.
Mr.. Brylawski points out that it is the
intention Of the leaders in the associa-
ton to show at all times in their theaAers
only pictures which any woman or child
would enjoy seeing or which would profit
them. Pictures depicting the Binford
girl, he said, are not desired in the thea
ters controlled by the association.
