RAICEVICH is
DOWNED BY
BIG ZBYSZKO
Poles New Hold Enough to
Cripple the Italian
Champion.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Stanislaus
zbyszko, the big Polish wrestler,
earned the right to meet Frank Gotch
for the worlds championship by de-
feating Giovanni Raicevich, the Italian,
In a bout at Madison Square Garden
last night.
It was to have been a finish affair
at catch weights, best two falls IN
three. Only one fall was required, how
ever, for after the Pole had downed
the Italian with a half Nelson with
leg and inside crotch hold, Raicevich
was not able again to come to the
scratch, and Tom Jenkins, the referee,
declared Zbyszko the winner.
The leg hold closely resembled the ia
nous toe bold of Frank Gotch, and
when his shoulders touched the mat
Raicevich lay writhing In pain. The
fall was secured after fifty-four min
utes and ffty-two seconds of gruelliny
work on both sides. and Il Which both
men were badly punished. Raicevich
was the aggressor nearly all the way
through, and several times had h big
Pole in tight positions. once with a
half Nelson and leg hold, just barely
missing putting his shoulders to the
mat.
A large crowd witnessed the bout and
loudly cheered the victor.

Kid AIbertS Is Away Too
Good for Bull Anderson

johnson Ia a head taller than his OPP
ponent, but that did not prevent him
from taking a walloping, and he was
houndering around like a rhip In dis
tress on several occasions. johnson
tried to pull something new by splitting
on his glove for luck every time he
started to deliver a blow, and some
wise one remarked that he was trying
to introduce the "spitblow' into box-
ing.
The third star bout of the night was
between Young Cardell, Of Montclair,
and Babe Jackson. jackson wore him
self out In the irst round. when he did
most of the leading. In the second
round Cardell began to find himself
and started the black boys nose to
bleeding. Thereafter he carried the
fight to Jackson all of the time and
finished a winner by a fair margin.
The preliminaries were only fair. The
only excitement they afforded came
when Young McCrea, a sorrelI-topped
individual, swopped over a right up
percut to Young Landes's Jaw and
Landes. who was already groggy, took
the count.

Kid Alberts, of Elizabeth, gave the
boxer in his star bout with Bull An
derson at Troxler's Central Institute
last night, and left the ring with a
victory to his credit. His ring knowl-
edge was superior to that Of his OPP
ponent and he held the master hand
all the way.
When the Bull tried to rush, Alberts
met him with q straight left jab that
rocked Anderson like the earthquake
shook up frisco a few years back. In
the second round Alberts swung a ter
rife right to the jaw that Jared the
Bull, who was 80 dazed he was con-
tented to hang on for the remainder
of the round. Anderson was beaten
from that time on. and in the next
round Kid Alberts, just to show that
he is somewhat ambidextrous, let loose
a left swing that sank two inches into
Anderson's stomach and doubled up
the Bull. Alberts matched his style to
his opponents attack perfectly, out
pointing him in the scientific end of the
game by landing two blows to Ander-
sons n and putting UP a defense
that baffied the vanquished gladiator.
Andersen, when he did not land, in
variably swung his right and there was
evidently little sting to his blows. for
Alberts came out of the ring without
the slightest mark to show that he had
been in a battle.
Little ns-:ssau-.
The Jim Finney-Jaok johnson bout
was a little on the burlesque order.

one. A fair day and q fair crowd
means $500 in the e~xchequer Of the
visiting club, and that's why they are
all anxious to come here.
Last ear the Newark Club switched
a couple of week day dates to Roches-
ter and Buffalo and jumped home from
the upper end of the circuit three or
-four times to play these Sunday games.
The Newark Club must stand for the
expenses of the two teams and give a
guarantee besides. In case of rain,
which happened on two or three oc-
casions. the Newark Club is a dead
loser. Big league teams pay their own
expenses from New York, which would
be trifling compared with the other ex-
penses, and If 1t did rain the loss would
be only the guarantee.
A draft of the International League
schedule is 10Y in the hands of the
Newark Club. The dates furnished are
only tentative, and it often happens
that they are completely changed by
the time the magnates are done with
their chickering's and chickering's In the
schedule meeting. which takes place at
Providence next week.
Joe McGinnity paid a visit to Presi-
dent Ed Barrow's office yesterday to
discuss t e schedule and the Newark
Clubs allotment of dates. 1t is re-
garded as a fixture hat Buffalo will
open here on Thursday, April Is.

While nothing d eHnite has been heard from John M.
Chapman, manager of the Velodrome, as to the riders that
will sign to ride here this season, it is almost certain tnat
Comes, the great French sprinter, will be one of them
In a letter just received from Willie BoHes, VINO ls
raining the America riders now In Europe, the veteran
trainer states that Chapman is very sweet on Comes, and
will bring him to America, If he can make satisfactory
terms with the foreigner.
In his letter Bolles states: "I look to see this man
Comes the future champion of Europe, and that future
is not far OFF, in my belief. Comes is only a youngster'
lie is a clean-cut, well built lad, whose style of riding is
very much similar to Goullett. He Is a great plugger as
well as a Splinter. and Is a bear in handicap races. Chap
man could not select a better man to compete In America,
for Comes is a glutton for work. and will be able to stand
our hard races at the longer distances.
THE prevailing impression in America that these for
eigners cannot ride hard races is wrong. 1 saw Ellegaard
and Friol put up a ride in a handicap race here that
equals the best efforts of Kramer. Clarke or Goullett
Walter Rutt, the big German champion, is riding in grand
form, and the Rutt- Stol combination Is the only one we
fear in the Berlin six-day race. With the exception OF
Eddie Root, all Of the Americans are in good shape
Moran is greatly improved over his New Yark race
form"

Jim Stewart No Match in Any
Round for Oklahoma

NEW YORK. Feb. is.-Cari Morriss

with Jim Stewart. the Brooklyn heavy
weight, al the Carlyle A.. c.. in Brook
Ign. last night Although Stewart had
been hailed as an ven match for Nor
ris, he lasted out the ten rounds only
by holding on and running away.
Morris did about all the lighting.
chasing Stewart about the ring. and
cornering him In almost every round
when he placed a few stiff punches. It
was a general opinion that Stewart
would have been knocked out had ne
stood up and fought. Morris was POOL
and steady at all stages and showed
greater accuracy than usual. In the
sixth round he cut open Stewards lips
with a hard punch. Morris. weighing
in at 230 pounds. had 2s pounds the
better of the Brooklyn man.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Magnates of the National
League, gathering here today for the annual spring meet
Ing to adopt a playing schedule and arrange for certain
necessary routine matters for the conduct of the league
business. expected that no friction would develop durins
the meeting and that everything would be harmonious
The schedule has already been prepared, and, while two
members have. 1t Is understood. made some objection TO
certain playing dates, 1t will probably be adopted in its
present form either today or tomorrow.
The first business of today's session was the meeting
OF the board of directors, following which the league
itself was scheduled to go into session
There may be a meeting of the joint rules committee
today. The trouble between Manager Roger Bresnahan
of st. Louis. and Charles Murphy. of the Chicago Cubs
comes before the National League for adjustment, where
1t was referred by the National Commission. Some mag
mates think that he trouble may be patched up and
further publicity avoided. Bresnahan asserts that he wa
insulted by Murphy at the last meeting of the league and
reported the matter to the National Commission.
There Is little or no serious talk Of trades of PLAYERS
The magnates do not take the contemplated outlaw or
ganization. the United States League very seriously. The,
say the outlaw league has no financial backing.

O'Keefe Is Too
Fast for Joe
ShugrO

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Eddie O'Keefe
defeated Young Shugro last night at
the Olympic A. c. 1t was O'Keefe's
lightning left hand jabs and his ag-
gressiveness that rave him the better
of every session except the second and
third, which were even.
The Philadelphia fighter started off
as if he would make short work Of his
Jersey rival. He 1abbed his left three
times to Shugro's face and then hooked
a left to the jaw that staggered his
adversary. O'Keefe then drove Shu-
gro over the lower rope with a hard
right to the jaw, but Shugro came
back strong in the next session and
managed to hold o'Keefe eve From
the third on O'Keefe had a shade the
better of 1t.
