SOME SHORT RING BATTLES
Matthews s-McPartland Said to Hold RecOrd-One Punch Makes a
 Champion.

New York, Feb. 4-Awarding the 1 distinction, if such it be. of having been the victim of the quick est knockout in these parts of Kid Mcfarland, aroused considerable discussion yesterday Several counter claims for the speed record in this section were presented, but from the best authority, it can be said that the Matty Matthew's Mcfarland go was the shortest big bout staged here. One onlooker asserted the other day that it lasted less than ten seconds.
 There have been many other short scraps here. On September 2, 1912, Eddie McGoorty knocked out Dave Smith, middleweight champion of Australia, in just two minutes. On New Years day. 1914. McGoorty turned a similar trick against Smith in Sydney.
 Then there was the bout in which Al Mccoy took the middleweight honors from George Chip, at the Broadway s. c. That lasted little more than one minute.
 Another memorable scrap that failed to go one round, was the ban tamweight championship meeting be- tween Terry McGovern and Pedlar Palmer of England at Tuckahoe, ou September 12. 1899. McGovern put the Briton to sleep in about a minute and a half. Only the year before. Tom Sharkey knocked out the late Gus Ruhlin with only one punch at the Coney Island A. c. They say that took less than one minute.
 There was one rather malodorous tWo-minute knockout here. It oC- cured in the Tommy Murphy Knock out Brown bout at the Harlem river Casino, in 1911:
 Mike Gibbons recently knocked out Young Ahearn in less than one min . ute at St. Paul, Minn.

A ONE-ARMED STAR.
Texas CoIlegian Despite Disadvantage
 Plays Wonderful Fielding Game.

Dick Hooper, of Texas university, has only one arm, but is one of the best college baseball players in the country. He is captain of the team.
 Hooper is an outf1elder. He wears a glove on his right hand, the only one he has. After he catches a ball he losses into the air and slaps the glove under what is left of his left arm Then he grabs the ball out of the air and throws it.
 Hooper goes through the whole operation with such speed he can get a ball started toward the diamond, after making a catch, almost as quickly as an outfielder with two hands.
 Last season Hooper threw out 10 runners at the plate He had 1O5 chances in the field and did not make an error.
 He is a good batter. He uses a short, thick bat. Last season he hit safely in 16 consecutive games, mak- ing a better record than most of his teammates.
 This is Hoopers last year at Texas university. He plans to enter Dart mouth next year.

New York, Feb. 4-Caulihowered1 cared and battle-scarred but stGl very much alive, the National league has just completed it's fortieth miles stone. Although the banquet in New York, which will commemorate the the oldest of baseball organizations will not be pulled off until next weel~ this is the actual anniversary, as it was on Groundhog Day in 1876, the centenary of American independence, that the magnates met in the old Broadway Central hotel in New York to complete the organization of the circuit. A secret session of the base ball moguls had been held in Louis- vile about a month before when the preliminary plans were decided,
 but the New York gathering mark ed the actual launching of the basas ball ship which has since weathered so many gales.

Mack and Baker.

If Frank Baker expects Connie Mack to yield finally and give up s1O,OOO of the purchase price the Trappe slugger will be forced to daily outside the fold for many a crimson moon
 Mack blames a large part of his 1915 cave-in on Baker, and so feels accordingly He had no idea of wrecking his machine when he let Collins go, but expected still to have a fine infeld with McInnis, Lajoie Barry and Baker. When Baker re- fused to fulfill his contract, and thereby broke up the infeld, Mack decided to have a housekeeping, and so let Barry go. But if Baker had reported Barry would still be mem- Der of the Athletic lineup. So John Franlxlin's chance of collecting any kale from Connie is as good as if he had requested the gift of $10,O00 from William J. Bryan.

DREW STOPS IN RAGE
Negro Sprinter Suddenly Stops in Sev- enty Yard Dash in New York Claimed Muscles Frightened.

New York, Feb. .4.-Howard P. Drew, worlds irecord holder for 100 yards disappointed a fairsized gather ing at the annual games of the SeV- enty-first Infantry A. A. in it's East Thlrty-fOurth Street armOry last night by virtually quitting in the 7o-yard handicap dash, which was one of the feature open events of the meeting. In the third heat of this race, in which he started from scratch, the colored sprinter, competing for the University of Southern California, pulled up after running the first fifty yards as though he were out to win and crossed the finish line almost last.
 No suspicion was attached by A. A. U. officials to this occurrence, in view of the fact that Drew after the race explained that the sudden change in the weather had frightened the muscles of his legs and made it inn possible for him to be al his best. Tn the Millrose A. A.. games last week Drew ran a sensational seventy yards, equaling the worlds indoor record for the distance, and his poor showing last night was, therefore, the more 
 The colored boy demonstrated that he can start as well without spiked shoes as with them, for he was off at the crack of the gun, and at twenty-five yards was running well. He picked up a bit in the next twenty five yards but, evidently ~eeing ne had but little chance to win. he stop ped practically in his tracks before reaching the tape.

ARE ON WATER WAGON
Ball Players No Longer Sip" From Bowl That Cheers to Former EX- tent-Sobriety Now Features.

Dave Fultz, president of the Base ball Players Fraternity, apparently lacks appreciation of the morals broadly speaking, as well as the com- mon sense of performers in the big arena, as well as in the minor leagues, writes N. B. BeasleN in the Detroit Journal.
 Fultz, according to the latest edict is calling upon the members of the Fraternity-and players in general to refrain from spirituous liquors. In other words, F'ultz favors complete so- briety, in season and out, for the diamond performers.
 Fultz ceased being an active play CT some years ago; at that time it is admitted that ball players, as a rule were not active opponents of the pro- hlbltlon movement. In recent years, however, there has been a wave of understanding. No longer do major leaguers stand up to bars and i'm bibe freely and whole -heartedly of the bowl that cheers.
 In the first place, the game is so fast that dissipation is prohibited in the minds of those who seek suc- cess. Ninety-nine per cent. of the ma jor league ball players of this day realize that their present living as well as their future to a great extent, depends upon the quickness of eye, the deftness of hand and the sureness of foot
 They are in the game for what it holds for them. They want to stay as long as they can. The only way they can realize on their hopes is to maintain a strict code of living.

".JuSt Once More"

Sir: ''Gotch," says sporting writer. twill not be foolish enough at 38 to re-enter the arena against stecher at 23.''
 Bad logic. No matter how old they get, there is always the idea they are sood enough for one more victory. No champion believes he can be beaten until it is too late. Jeffries had been out of commission seven years. He was in no shape to fight Rut he thought he still had that "one last" battle under his belt. Gotch will fall for the same line of reason ing. Being human, he cant help it.
