" HICAGO, Jan 22.-Johnny Cou-
lon is still bantamweight cham
pion, but after he mad finished
ten rounds of fighting with frankie
Sinnet in the Racine boxing arena
last night he was a decidedly tagged
and tired young man, and didn't look
as much like "a class leader as he had
in the opening sessions
And the big crowd, with one glad
acclaim pronounced Sinnet about as
tough and hardy piece of fighting
machinery as anybody has ever seen.
The battle went the full ten
rounds. and they we're filled with
some of the greatest milling ever
shown in the lakeside arena.
After the ten rounds were COM
pleted. every fan inside the arena was
willing to admit that Sinnet was the
surprise of the night The youngster
has had only few fights under his
belt, but he fought like veteran
against the champion
With his head lowered, the little
Rock Island bantam would keep aft
er Johnny, not even once retreating
in his steps True, Coulon piled up
many points on HIS ilNdi III llH edl ~
rounds, but the blows carried little
power behind them.
II was evident from the first min
ute OF fighting that Coulon had a
tough piece of fighting machinery be-
fore him. Sinnet darted from his
corner al the sound of the gong, and
at once started after Johnny in a
very businesslike manner The cham
pion kept using his left hand rapidly
in the first two rounds, playing a
tattoo on Slnnets face and head.
Coulon followed up his advantage
in the third session, jabbing Sinnet's
eve and nose The Rock Island boy
started out fast in the fourth, follow
ing instructions from his manager,
Nate Lewis, to keep after the champ.
Sinnet made great showing in this
round, and kept up the good work in
the fifth and sixth periods.
The youngster weakened in the
seventh and eighth rounds, and Cou-
lon had a slight shade in both ses-
sions The boys fought hard in the
ninth and tenth, with honors even

them kneading and twisting their
mans head and arms as if they were
trying to soften hard putty, and
worse still, pouring ice water on them
at the wrong time, making them
shake with cold and tremble with
aguelike shiVerings.
Rake your mind and try to recall
how long ago it is since you saw
second in the corner talented enough
to offer advice to his man, forewarn
him of his dangers and the intentions
of his antagonist. Then again, how
often have you witnessed seconds
shrieking and performing all sorts of
clownish actions in attempting to ad
wise their charge, when really their
actions were detrac citing his attention
from the main issue, and sometimes
has led to an opening that has been
taken advantage of by a clever OPP
ponent.
When Terry McGovern and Young
Corbett fought for the second time in
the Mechanics Pavilion in San Fran
cisco Joe HUMPHREYS and Sam Harris
in particular would shout to Terry,
Come away-don't mix with him
walop him down below" and other
such advice. Corbett only smiled, and
tainted Terry by saying, why don't
you do as your seconds tell you? You
are a heluva champion; won't follow
instructions" Terry's mind was i'm
mediatelv directed on the men in his
corner instead of the man he was
lighting, and Corbett slapped over the
wallop that ended the battle.
THE late Jack Dempsey was a won
4 derful second-in fact, one of the
best that ever accompanied a man in
the ring. There is no doubt that
Dempsey had as much to do with
preventing defeat to Jack McAuliffe
the time that Jack fought Jem Car
ney at Revere Beach as he (McAu
liffe) had himself. The manner in
which Dempsey tainted Carney and
the way in which he forced the Eng
fish champion to come over and do
all his fighting in McAuliffe's cor
ner was the work of a master.
SPIDER KELLY, out in San Fran
y cisco, is a wonderful second, and
has helped many man to win. Kel-
~ had a great habit of instructing
his men to Immediately push their
hands into that of the referee when
the final gong sounded, and in this
way he at times ratified that official
so the Verdicts have been given to his
men when they had practically lost,
or his men have secured draws when

n SHORT time back | had the
~ pleasure of sitting at the ring
side watching quite an inter-
esting scrap between evenly matched
men. Neither of them by any clever
ness or exceptional lighting ability
caused us to become excited. In fact,
it was one of those contests in which
every succeeding round is a repeti-
ton, or nearly so, of the preceding
one. For that reason the best amuse-
ment was afforded me in watching the
antics of the valet de chambre, or,
in other words, the seconds in the
corners. | am not stretching the
point a single iota when | say that
not one man in a hundred who gets
in the angled corner of the ring to
help, assist advise and succor prln-
cipaI knows the first rudiments of the
position he is attempting to fill. Time
was when a second was as essential
to the success Of champion as he
(the champion) was himself.
To my mind the most solemn part
Of a fistic encounter is the duty en-
trusted to seconds, and especially
was this true in the London prize
ring We find that poor seconding is
now more common than severe fight
ing. and I have often seen men get
more punishment from their seconds
than from the men they nave peeh
battling against.
My experiences and observations, as
4Nl well as what information | nave
gathered from those who know, is
that in summer, or warm weather Ice
should be applied to the temples. the
pulses of the wrists and back or the
neck. In cold weather it should be
avoided altogether and it's place taken
by clean, damp sponge Slulclng is
not necessary at all, unless at a time
when he has received what appears
knockout wallop, IN when case me
suddenly; all else that's done for him
is labor thrown away.
When Aft Greenfield was IN Amer
lea. some years back, we often spoke
of these things. and ] have yet to ma

Tri-City Syndicate Boat Has Sprung
Bowsprit, Which Will Detain

NEW YORK. May 30.-There will be
but two yachts. Resolute and Vanitie.
in the opening races between the
Americas cup defense sloops. which
will be held off Glen Cove. L. l.. next
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday.
The tricity candidate, Defiance. lies off
Jacobs yard. City Island. with her
bowsprit sprung beyond repair. and
she will be lucky if she is ready TO
get under sail for the special race ar
ranged by the Larchmont Yacht Club
next Saturday.
II is not merely the injured bowsprit
that puts Defiance out of the pre-
liminary running. The boat is to un-
dergo radical changes to her super
structure. which. according to George
NJ. Pynchno. managing director of the
syndicate OF Boston. Philadelphia and
New York yachtsmen who own her, will
greatly reduce the boats rating
The principal change. il is under
stood. will be the looping off of fifteen
feet from her 152-foot mast. which will
necessitate a general shortening up of
her STAYS and rigging and general
recruiting of her immense canvas.
We hope to make a decided reduc-
at his home in Greenwich. Conn, last
night without seriously affecting her
speed. 1t will not be necessary to haul

expect to be at the line in any of next

GAS HEATER EXPLODES IN
EPIPHANY CHURCH KITCHEN
Mrs. H. Rupertus Painfully Hurt
and George Berry, Janitor, Serious
ly Injured at Festival.

A strawberry festival held at Epiphany
Church last night was suddenly inter-
rupted by the explosion of the gas
water heater in the kitchen. Two per-
sons were injured, dishes and ice cream
and strawberries scattered in all direc-
tions. and church windows were de-
molished.
Mrs. Henry Rupertus, 1876 Randolph place
northwest, and George Berry. the col
ored janitor, were injured. Mrs.
Rupertus received painful scalp
wound, while Berry received cuts to his
face. They were taken to Emergency
Hospital
1t was about $50 o'clock when the
explosion occurred, and SO suddenly did
it occur that the scores of persons at
tending the festival were so badly
frightened that they hardly realized the
danger of the situation.
Force of the Explosion.
The force of the explosion was great
enough to tear away some of the plaster
ing and do great damage to wall. 1t
was soon realized that the danger was
over, and when the cloud of dust had
cleared away an examination of the kitch-
en- was made.
Mrs Rupertus tainted, it is stated. and
it was thought she had received serious
injuries, but physicians at Emergency
Hospital assured her friends that she was
only slightly hurt and she was able to
leave the hospital after her wound was
dressed.
The colored janitor was more seriously
hurt. He received an injury to his eye
and his sight. it is stated. may be af-
fected. He remained in the hospital all
night and was transferred to Episcopal
Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital today. The
explosion caused about 500 damage.
