BIG five AND TROYS
TIEDAT THE FINISH
Many Fouls Called When Play
ers of Rival Basketball
Teams Hold.
SM0LIK is STAR OF GAME

In a game which at times was
loosely played, members of the Har-
rison Big Five and the Troys, of
Union Hill, engaged in a draw, 19
10 10, at Hantmon's Hall. Harrison,
last night. A big crowd witnessed
the struggle, which at half time fa-
vored the home combination by a
margin of a single point, IL to IL.
The players of both teams were
inclined to use holding tactics
throughout. which resulted in many
fouls being called. At this style the
visitors were best, for they rolled
up seven points from the free throw
mark, as against three for Harri-
son. In field goal caging, however,
the home boys excelled, accounting
for eight. while the Troy players
were content with six. Mike Smo-
lis, who the night previous starred
for the Knickerbockers against the
st. George team at Paterson, was
shining light for the Harrison
quintet. He succeeded in dropping
in four field goals. For the winners
Stretch Harvey and Harry Wallum
were in the limelight. Johnny Bieg-
ner. one Of the Harrison players,
was injuI in the first half and
had to re from the game. The

In the first round Mace severely in

of Mace's lack of spirit, and fearing
trick of the willy ring master, did
not take advantage of his opportunity.
After the men had been fighting over

Australia, Mace pulled off amateur

by pitting professional ringers"

ton of putting the black against John

kicked in the bud'' when he sent his
giant against a slender young New
Zealand blacksmith named Bob Fitz-

was started on the career that made

Now that boxing has received a
Knockout blow in California, and
championship bouts have been legal
ized in Louisiana, New Orleans is
likely 10 regain much of It's former
glory as a great pugilistic centre.
Many of the greatest championship
contests of the last half century have
been staged in the Crescent City and
it's immediate vicinity. John l.. Sui
van won the big title from Paddy
Ryan at Mississippi City, not far
from the Southern metropolis, de-
Tended 1t against Jake Kilrain at
Riohburg, Miss, and lost it to Jim
Corbett in a Crescent City ring.
At an earlier period the neighbor-
hood of New Orleans was the scene
Of Jem Mace's two great combats
for the American championship. The
clever English gypsy, although only
a middleweight, had fought his way
to the top of the heap in England,
and had earned a reputation as the
most scientific fighter the ring had
ever seen. The opposition of the
British authorities at that period led
Mace to follow the example of many
other British boxers and emigrate TO
America. He landed on these shores
in 1863, and the following year fought
and defeated Tom Allen, another
Englishman, at Kennerville, La, near
New Orleans.
Jem's right to the title was dis
puted by a native American, Joe
Coburn, and in 1871 Mace and Co
burn were matched to fight In
Canada for $4,000 and the American
championship. The Dominion au-
thorities did not take kindly to the
project, and stopped the arrange
ments. The men were again matched,
the date being set for November 49,
1871, and the place to be within
hundred miles of New Orleans. Bhe
