BEN DOUGLASS FINDS
DEFINING TOO FAST
A NAN FOR HIM
New Yorker Wins Proctor Clubs
Star Bout-M0ore Beats
Schwartz.

TACK DEFINING was far too clever,
shifty and speedy for Ben Douglass,
y of Newark, in the star bout of the
Proctor A. C. show at Renner's Hal
last night, and Ben took a beating from
the visitor. Ben was swinging Wild
most of the time and missed with
vicious wallops several times that
made him look ridiculous in the eyes
of the spectators.
Denning used a straight left iab and
a right uppercut, and had Douglass
covering up several times. Repeatedly
the New York boy showed his left
through his opponents defense, and In
the first round Ben's face and should
ers were red from the welting he re-
ceived. Denning outboxed him from
every angle. In the second Ben landed
his only clean blow of the fight, a
vicious right swing to the Jaw, but
Denning came right back and fought as
hard as ever.
The third was about the most ven
round of the fight. The pair started
to box at close quarters, and for a
minute Douglass had the better OF the
game at infighting, but when Denning
kept way he again regained his adj
vantage. On one occasion he met
Douglass coming In n turned him
completely around with a vicious
swing. Some of the blows that Denning
landed to Douglass's jaw would have
put another man to sleep in short or
der. but the husky ironworker was able
TO weather the storm successfully. In
the fifth round Douglass was bleed
ing from the nose and did little leading.
Denning was the winner easily.
Schwartz Beaten.
The semi-fnal at six rounds between
Bobby Moore and Young Schwartz was
one of the best bouts Of the night.
Moore had it on Schwartz in height,
reach and weight, as well as science.
Schwartz took a beating and showed
he was game, but on one occasion lost
his mead and did not fight clean. In
direct opposition was the work of
Moore. Though he was a visitor, he
was roundly %applauded for his clean
work.
In the preliminaries John Ray, of
New York, and Jim Kane, of Newark.
fought a draw. Young Davis, of Pas
sale, was beaten by Dick Burge, of
Newark. Mickey Sayres hung 1t over
on Young Arstin and Walter Burke
knocked out George Brown, of Jersey
City, in the first round of their fight
by clipping him twice with rights to
the jaw. ~
The star bout next week will bring
together YOU'VE. Eurtz and Jim Dona-
hue, the latter of Passaic. Irish Ma
hon will fight in the semi-final with
either Babe Cullen or some good boy
from Boston.

WISCONSIN PROFESSOR
ACQUlTS FACULTY FOR
ATHLETIC DECLINE
MADISON. Wis. Feb. 2.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 2.
TN the current number OF the Alumni
Magazine of the University of Wis
consin. Prof. G. II. Bunting gives
his version of why Wisconsin Is weak
In athletics. He points out to the
alumni hat the professors do not lie
awake nights planning now to cripple
the athletic teams, but that Is a con-
dition and not a theory which confronts
the athletes In the university. ,
AT present It is the scarcity of ma
terial and not faculty edicts which put
a blight on different cams. He dis
putes the statement made that athletes
are compelled TO pass a hisher scholar
ship test than other students, and
shows that all students are on abso-
lutely evef basis.

1T has just been learned that frankie
Burns, the Jersey City bantam, was
suffering from a facilitating all
ment directly before II after his re-
cent bout with Digger Stanley. Tommy
Lee. Burns's manager, had frankie
examined by a physician, who advised
that the Jersey City lad should not
fight. The lad was game and went
through with the bout, taking a chance.
Lee will not accuse anybody of playing
a trick on Burns, but the rumor is out
that a New York gambler fixed up a
job on Burns down in camp. At any
rate, Burns was not at his best for his
last fight. An investigation is being
made, and there will be a lively time
for somebody If anything crooked is
discovered.

CAMP EXPECTS TO SEE
SOME RULES CHANGED.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, FEB. Mot
many changes in the intercollegiate
football rules are expected at the forth
coming meeting of the rules committee
by Walter Camp, the advisory au-
thority on ath etics at Yale. He says;
81 expect to see some changes decided
upon which will result in the wording
being clarified. 1t is but natural that
in a new code there should be some
complications in drawing the rules. The
alterations probably will not affect the
play from the field. 1t is clear that
the rules which forbade pushing and
pulling the past season were a decided
development of the game, and / hope
that It will be retained I know of no
movement to change it."
