SCHIEBERL IS GIVEN
DECISION AT QUINCY

Peanuts Schieberl, the local ban
tam who is beating up all who oppose
him in the ring, was given the deci-
cision over Harrison Goodwin of Quin-
cy in 10-round bout staged at the
Northside Boat clubhouse, Quincy, last
night. More than 600 fistic fans wit
messed the fight. The principals
weighed in at 3 O'Clock at 118 pounds,
the local Lad making the exact weight
while Goodwin weighed in at 1872.
Schieberl announced that the weights
were satisfactory to him. When the
men were in the ring, Goodwin sug-
gested that the winner take the entire
purse and Schieberl took him up, sur
prising the committee in charge and
the audience as well. Peanuts
fought cautiously and smiled whenev-
Ell Goodwin landed punch. In the
first round, the local pugilist landed on
Goodwin's nose and the blood flowed
through the remaining nine rounds. A
right cross to the ear in the same
round kept Goodwin worried through
the fight. It will be remembered that
Young Sinnett of Rock Island had
three fights with Goodwin, securing a
draw in the last two. Whitney of &c.
dar Rapids and Schaffer of Memphis
/ fought 10 fast rounds to a draw.

RING LURE TO JEFF.
| Los Angeles, Feb. 15.-James j. JEFF
fries, former heavyweight champion of
| the world, is listening to the lure of
the ring again. He gave out signed
statement yesterday relative to his po-
sition on future pugilistic battles, in
which he showed none of his former
remuneration of the ring. The state
ment is as follows:
my good friends have urged me to
fight Johnson and l have considered
their requests, but have not fully made
up my mind yet whether will or will
not fight again. Circumstances and
conditions might arise which would
cause me to say Yes to the PROPOSE
ton, but l have been out of the game
so long that, really, dislike to think
OF fighting again.
JAMES J. JEFFRIES."
That Jeffries is seriously consider
ing such return TO the ring is shown
by his talk before he delivered hi:
statement He said in part:

again until such time as am ready t.

that he was drugged at Reno, New, o

JOHNSON WOLGAST BOTH WIN
BIG BLACK PLAYS WITH JIM
FLYNN UNTIL POLICE
STOP SLAUGHTER

Jack Johnson is still champion of
the world. Yesterday, as was expect
ed by every intelligent ring follower
who didn't let race prejudice override
reason, he made monkey of Jim
Flynn, the Pueblo false alarm. and
gave MN such 4 beating that the POI
lice stopped the fight in the ninth
round
Bar frame-up, of which some wise
ones We're afraid. Johnson hadn't a
chance in the world to lose. From the
brief cable accounts, it would seem
that he had lost none of the speed and
cleverness he showed at Reno, and
when he won that fight two years ago
he was better man than ferries ever
was. Another crop of White Hopes"
must be sown before the blacks crown
will fall.
The Johnson Flynn fight was so bru-
tai that the police stopped it.
There was large delegation of Flynn
boosters who came down from Colorado
to urge their favorite son on to vic
tory.
Johnson's old time cleverness SEEM
ed to be even intensified. He simply
played with Flynn much as cat will
play with rat.
Flynn butted his head into Johnson
continually and time and again john
son landed blows easily
Willy Jack cleverly blocked every ct
tempt of Flynn to hit him and then
grinned and showed his white teeth.
In the ninth round, after Johnson
had fearfufly beaten up Flynn, the po-
lice rushed into the ring and stopped
the fight. The referee Immediately
end came to one of the worst farces in
the history of heavyweight pugilism.
Johnson weighed in at 1875 pounds and
Flynn at 176.
