g PEAklNG of famous left
- hands, we were reminded
sharply the other night that we
had forgotten to mention one of
the greatest that ever flashed in
the boxing arena, that possessed
by Dial Hawkins, the sensational
California lightweight who -four
ished back in the old days of the
late '90s. 1t took an old-timer to
remind us of Dals wonderful left,
which, by the way, was the same
sort of a flashy weapon that
Charley White yields off the port
side in the present decade. Jim
Griffin, of California, now about
the premier referee of San Fran
cisco, was the man who recalled
Hawkins.
INSTANTLY the name Haw-
kins is mentioned ones mind
goes back to that famous day in
1897 at Carson City, New, when
Bob Fitzsimmons laid low the
mighty Corbett with a solar plex
us blow, and especially to those
who were at the ringslde that
chilly St. PatriCk'S Day does the
mention of Hawkins and Carson
City seem almost synonymous. 1t
was on that afternoon that Haw-
kips made record of having put
over about the quickest knock
out ever recorded. His victim was
Martin F'laherty, then one of the
hardest featherweights Of the
day, for Hawkins himself at that
time was only Il feather The
affair was the only preliminary to
that famous old encounter and
took place shortly after noon and
Immediately before Corbett and
t'itz were called into the arena
to settle the big question.
T HE late Malachy Hogan, one
of the best referees known
to the game at the time, was ref
cree of the preliminary, and
George Sller, also of this city and
who also since has passed away,
acted in the big battle. Malachy
instructed the men briefly on how
he wanted them to battle and
then they stepped back to their
corners and the bell sounded.
f'laherty walked out rather slow
~ while Hawkins, advancing with
a great deal OF speed, tented once
rather low, as If TO strike at the

guard and over went Hawkins

Of whip on the point Of the
New England mans chin and no
fell over backwards, fiat on his
spine and as senseless as IL hit
by a train. He never made a
tremor while Hogan was count
ing out the ten and then was car
ried to his corner. The time was
said to have been only four Sec

w THO will be captain OF the
Nv Crackers next season? Who
will cover the first cushion?
What players will compose the Crack
er infeld?
These are the questions local fans
are asking these days.
Some time to-day Bill Smith,
Cracker manager, viii land in Allan
ia, and he will probably answer some
of these questions. Bill has been at
his home in Springfield, Ohio, for the
past few weeks figuring just what sort
of a team he will have next season.
Yesterday the write. happened to
drop into the local baseball head
quarters, where Messrs. Galloway,
Ryan and Nunnally were talking
baseball 1t did not take long for
the trio to get well heated up.
The loss of Whitley Alperman
seemed to be the biggest blow handed
the Crackers during the, past few
weeks Not that Whitley was the big
Rest cog in the wonderful machine
last season, as the Crackers won the
pennant practically with him out But
Whitley Is a valuable player. Also he
was captain of the te. n, and is an
old head at the game.
The directors seemed divided as to
who will replace Alperman as field
captain, although Nunnally did sort
of lean to Harry Welchonce. You
know Welchonce has led the Southern
League in batting for the past two
seasons, and Is, without doubt, the
greatest outhelder in the Southern
League Nunnally could not state
automatically as to Welchonee being
the choice, as il will be up to Bill
smith to make the final selection.
At that it looks as If Harry will nail
the job. He is well liked by the play
ors and his great work last season
certainly earned him the position.
Bill ought to have some real good

SPORTING COMMENT

gan who was one of the great
est characters of the decade in
addition to being a great ring ar
bitter, acted as referee in an
other and perhaps the shortest
fight possible under the rules.
This one happened in Harvey,
H., and Battling Nelson was the
victor, knocking Billy Rossler out
with the first punch, delivered
almost before the men had put
their gloves up in defensive posi-
ton. 1t took place on April 3,
1902, and almost as soon as the
bell sounded Nelson ran across
the ring, met his opponent with
heavy left-hand swing and
knocked him as fiat and as cold
as could be.
| OGAN always claimed after
- wards that the Harvey fight
was shorter than the Hawkins
knockout at Carson city and be-
ing referee Of both of them was
in a position to know. Both were
so fast that the timekeepers hard
ly could measure them with any
degree of accuracy. In both cases
the blows were of a similar char
aCter. although Hawkins punch
was a short snappy one, while
Nelson's was delivered with a
long swing following a run and
jump.
n EsPiTE Hawkins great speed
~ and skill and undoubted hit
ting ability with his left hand he
fell considerably short of land
ing near the championship chair,
The Flaherty battle gave him
lot of prestige and advertising,
the more so because the Fitz-
simmons Corbett battle was so
extensively written about all over
the world, and he did pretty well
during the remainder of that year.
He beat the clever Charley Nc
Keever in fifteen rounds, went
twenty rounds to A draw with
George Dixon and then Knocked
out Eddie Connolly, of New
Brunswick in fourteen rounds on
the coast.
