championship, of America was pulled
off in 1S49 between Tom Hyer and
Yankee Sullivan, and was for a purse
of $4,000. Hyer was the victor, win
ming in sixteen rounds, and thus be-
came the first recognized American
champion. This bout was staged in
Maryland, and was held in the open
air, with the ground covered with
snow. Hyer was an idol for a, time
but he dfssfpated his strength and
pendent upon the charity of his
friends. Morrissey made a fortune in
fighting and got rid Of most of it in
gambling. After retiring from the
ring he. entered politics and was elect
ed to Congress. He died fairly we'll
to-do, and is buried in a Troy cene-
terry. John @. Heenan, known as the
"Benecia Boy,'' was the next American
fighter to come to the front. In 1860
the big IriSh-American went over to
England and fought Tom Savers for
the worlds heavy weight Champion
ship. Heenan was an aggressive fight
err with a punch like a mules kick,
and he had all the best of it in the
early rounds. When Savers was all
but out the police fnterfered. Heenan,
loudly giving expression to the opinion
that the dom Br4tishers'' were trying
to rob him of victory, bowled over
Sayers seconds, throttled Sayers, and
then ran from the cops. Heenan was
undoubtedly entitled to the worlds
championship belt, but he didn't get
it, as Savers retired from the ring and
refused to fight again. While in Eng
land Heenan married Adah Menken, a
famous actress of the Gay, who was
also noted as a poet and writer, and
who moved in the best social and
literary circles of London. She soon
tired of the Benecia Boy, and got a
divorce, when Heenan married another
actress, Sara stevens. Another great
American fighter of this period was
Joe Coburn, who won the American
championship Just half a century ago.
After quitting the ring. Joe opened a
gilded cafe on the great white streak.
but failed in business and died in ex-
IRENE poverty.

MECHANIC, VICTIM I
OF VACCINATION,
TELLS HIS PLIGHT
Came From England to Make
Home For Sweetheart, Now
He's Disabled.

Ralph Unett, the young mechanic,
whose plight, due to vaccination on
shipboard, was detailed in The Far
mer of yesterday. called at The Far
mer office today to explain in detail
the compulsory vaccination that has
brought him distress. and to voice a
protest on behalf of other newcomer
to American shores against such q
system.
Unett, aged Is, is boarding with
friends at 13S Garden street. He was
assured of employment before he SAIL
ed, landing in America three weeks
ago, else with his small capital no
would not have ventured away from
home. But the condition Of his arm
is such that doctors tell him It may
be three weeks before he will be able
to resume his work. With the three
weeks that have elapsed since the
vaccine point was thrust into his arm,
this will make a total of six weeks
that he will have been disabled.
Unett came to America to better
his condition, and he expected. with
good fortune, to secure enough funds
to bring his sweetheart here next
spring. TT doesn't look very bright,
now" he said, gloomily, as ne barred
his muscular arm, and displayed the
inf1amed, feverish member. swollen
badly and swathed in bandages. Il
thought that by next spring I'd have
my own home here, but this vaccfna-
ton business has turned things up
side down"
Unett has been vaccinated twice be-
fore. He recalls nothing Of the FIRST
vaccination, but the second time. sev-
en- years ago, he says he experienced
little discomfort. He was told that he
would not be allowed to land in
America unless he submitted to an
other vaccination.
The young Englishman came here
to work as a motor assembier at The
Locomobile plant. He found thai his
arm was so bad that he couldn't work

MATHEWSON LAST
HOPE OF GIANTS
Veteran Picked to Save Me-
Graw's Men from IngIOriOus
Defeat.

New York Oct lit was under far
different circumstances from those that
prevailed on the occasion of their last
previous meeting here that Giants and
Athletics prepared, today, to play the
fifth and possibly the last game of
the 1913 worlds series. In the first
instance, games won and lost were
even and it was a toss up as to
which would prove the ultimate vic
tor Today, the Mackmen needed but
a single game to assure them of the
worlds Iaurels they have been fight
ing for while the Giants are two In
arrears
1t was with confidence that the Phil
iadelphians. this morning, set about
organisations for the fray of the day.
The spirited rally Of the New Yorks
in Yesterdays affair at Philadelphia
had taught the Athletics thorough re-
spect for their opponents gameness
and power of regeneration.
It was recalled that last year, after
the Boston Red Sox had tucked away
three games of the series to the
Giants one, the latter had rallied and
taken the next two, forcing the series
to go the limit and only losing the
deciding contest by reason of the IA
tai mum by an outfelder that permit
ted the winning Boston run to be ta4-
lied in the tenth inning. Whether
the game of the day would turn out
to be another battle royal between
the veteran p1LC1SIS q the wv tS1AhA9'
7Eatthewson and Plank, was a, secret
that the morning failed to reveal
Itseemed a Certainty that McGraw
would select the "Old Master''-Mat-
itheuson-to do the twirIing for the
Giants There was no telling before
game time which of his availables
Mack would assign TO the hurting
slab.
Plank, at his age, requires q, long
rest between games to be at his best
and although it is three days since
he pitched his great game against
adatthewson, it seemed that Mack
might feel that even this interval was
not sufficient
Shawkey was the likely selection
should plank be kept out of it, al
though Brown has<been longing for
chance to pitch in the series There
was trepidation among the Giant fans,
to-day, as to what might happen even
to the trusted -'Matty," whose second
and third essays against Athletic slug
gers were not nearly so successful two
years ago as was his first.
The batting order for today will
probably be as follows:

CConC1nued from Page l.
: When the Carmania, reached the vi
cinity of the VoIturrro at noon she
found the worward end of the vessel
burning fiercely. The flaming ship
was rolling heavily while her prope1-
lers were fouIed with boat tackle used
in lowering her six 1ifeboats. 1t was
learned by the captain of the Car
mamie that two only out of six life
boats had succeeded in getting away
from the Volutrno. The other four
crowded from stem to stern with pass
engers and members of the crew had
been smashed against the side of the
vessel and all occupants thrown into
the sea and drowned.
In spite of the terrific gale raging
when she arrived near the Vo1turno,
the captain of the Carmania had one
of his nfeboats lowered to help in
the rescue. This was. effected with
much difficulty, for even on the lee side
of the Carmania the sea was terribly
rough and it was only by extraordin-
airy efforts that the small craft was
prevented from being smashed or cap
sized as she left the side of the ship.
The Carmania's Iifeboat, in charge
of First Officer Gardiner, made a gall
liant but futile attempt to get along
side the doomed Volturno. After%two
hours battle with the waves, during
which the lifeboat lost all but three
of her oars, the rest being broken or
torn from the hands of the crew, First
officer Gardiner returned to the Car
mania, which he succeeded in making
without loss of life or broken limbs
among the members of his boats
crew.
Captain Barr, of the Carmania, then
maneuvered his big vessel very close
to the Volturno and finally got the
Carmania's bows within a hundred feet
of the Volturno's stern. It was found
however, to cast a line
on board the XoIturrto OF. to get any.
