MORGAN MEETS TARTAR
0'Keefe BObs Up Strongly at
Finish and Gets Draw.
SHUGRUE WINS HANDlLY
Outpoints De Ponthieu in Fast
Ten Round Bout at the.
Garden.

Three fercely contested ten-round box
Ing bouts kept a large crowd in good
humor at Madison Square Garden last
night. In the last contest Eddie Morgan.
bantam weight champion Of Great Brit
ain, had a hard time Of il with Eddie
O'Keefe, of Philadelphia.
In the second round Morgan caught
O'Keefe with solid right to the jaw that
almost finished Eddie. who weathered the
storm only by covering up. O'Keefe was
stil unsteady when he came out or his
corner for the third round, but he was
doing better at the end.
From then on the boys went ut each
other from bell to bell O'Keefe using his
long left to advantage. He shot 1t out so
rapidly that the fair haired Briton could
not avoid it, and in the last few rounds
O'Keefe overcame the others lead The
last mound was all O'Keefe's, but in view
Of Morgan's better showing at the start
draw would be the fairest decision
OEeefe weighed 122 and Morgan 100.
The fastest bout Of the night resulted
from the meeting Of young" Shugrue, OF
Jersey City, and Louis De Ponthieu,
champion light weight OF France. 1t took
Shugrue a round or two TO solve the
Frenchmans defence but after that the
Jersey City boy had the upper hand.
IL the sixth round he caught De Pom
thieu with lefts and rights, causing the
foreigner TO reel De Ponthieu fought
back hard, however.
Shugrue rested in the ninth round,
which De Ponthieu had by narrow mar
gin, but the tenth was all the other way,
Shugrue hitting his man almost at will.
II was Shugrues bout by a comfortable
margin. Both weighed 1924 pounds.
Jack Goodman. introduced as the West
Side IDOL" and Bill Fleming, a willing
fighter from Old Town, Me, furnished
ten rounds OF action that kept the crowd
bowling. Fleming knew little Of the art
of boxing, but kept boring in with awk-
ward swings that were hard 10 avoid.
Goodman was as clever as ever, using
his left TO good advantage in every
round, and won on points.
At the outset Goodman quickly got TO
Fleming. cutting the Maine boys lip. but
the latter drove in several pile-driving
let's 10 the body that made Jack grunt
Goodman probably never hit nah
harder than he did Fleming, but the only
effect it had was TO make the other punch
the fercer.

Yesterday from ST. Paul. appeared TO be

difficulty IN landing its business, but
some roads viii encounter trouble
Asked about the prospect OF permanence
OF the present prosperity in the North

has been slowly recovering from the
effects Of the panic OF 1870, and in the last
Few years merchants manufacturers ana

and merchants and jObbers report salts

how they can be handled.

PLEA FOR HONEST RECORDS
Crying Need for Body to Govern
Motor Boat Speed Trials.

There has been so much criticism con-
corning alleged records OF speed boats
during the last season, both In regard to
the actual timing and 10 the inaccuracies
OF the courses, that q great deal OF feel
ing has been aroused. says Yachting" in
an editorial plea for honest records" in
its current issue. Continuing, IL says:
1T is high time that something was
done in regard to this and that some con-
trolling body had supervision OF all races
OF more than local character where rec
ords are TO be tried for. IN number OF
instances courses have been properly
buoyed by competent measurers or by
government surveyors, and the buoys
have later been moved without the
knowledge OF the public, or often Of the
contestants themselves. There IL a nat
ural incentive for such a procedure, mas
much as II always adds TO the success
Of race meet TO have records broken,
and good advertising Is frequently had
thereby; but the practice is reprehensible,
is unfair to the public, 10 the contestants
themselves and TO other possible entries,
and should not be courtenanced.
practically every other form Of COM
petitiye sport has some controlling body
which recognizes the legitimacy OF any
claim for records and not only sees that
the timing is accurate, but that the
course is OF the required length, so that
no record stands accepted without It's
sanction. Such a controlling association
in power boat racing should not only
verify the accuracy OF every course over
which a record is made, but SHOULD have
a representative timer present at all such
special race meets. II would thus nave
control OF the granting Of championship
titles, which under the present system
are loosely used and are little more than
a farce
1T is not, OF course, meant that suCh a
supervision is necessary for all races, but
certainly all meets OF national, inter
national or sectional importance should be
properly sanctioned by such controlling
body
This would also result In the proper
tabulating and recording Of all records.
As II Is now, the speeds OF all boats are
not recorded definitely, outside OF the
newspaper reports, and these at best are
inaccessible and liable 70 error. which
results in the claim OF records by boats
In different parts Of the country, pracu-
cally without fear OF their being dis
proved. If the various power boat assoc
Citations OF the United States could get
together and form such a controlling body
II would be big step In the right direc-
ton.
Practically all the yacht and power
boat clubs Of the country are members OF
some racing association, and 1t would not
be n very difficult task 10 get together II
national commission with control In such
matters. In any particular race the cost
OF such supervision could be borne equal
ly BY the association and the club holding
tho regatta. the burden OF expense being
small in comparison to the benefits In
Cured Something must be done II the
present state Of affairs is not 10 resolve
into scandal"
