GOOD ACTING BY
YOUNG AHEARN
FOLLOWS FOUL
Boxer Is Saved from a
Defeat When Chip
Hits Low.
BY ". o. MCCLELLAN.

Some rather overdone acting BY
Jacob Ahearn and some rapid thinking
By Dan McKetrick gave Ahearn a vic
tory over George Chip on foul at the
Broadway Sporting Club yesterday
afternoon. The end was decidedly un-
satisfactory 20 everybody in the vicin-
lty with the exception of Ahearn and
McKetrick.
In the early part of the fight il
seemed certainty that Young Ahearn
would be knocked out. The Greek geek,
Chip. sent Jacob TO the mattress for
the count of five in the third round,
and though Ahearn was boxing prettily
II was evident that he could not last
ten rounds.
In fact, Chip was tearing in fercely
in the start Of the fifth round when
the alleged foul was committed. The
blow was left hook and undoubtedly
was below the belt. But Ahearn showed
no evidence OF being hurt. until Ref
cree Haukop pushed Chip aside and
inquired of Ahearn, Are you hurt very
badly"
Ahearn puckered his brow in deep
mediation. He looked over to his
corner. where Dan McKetrick was sig
mailing him in the deaf and dumb
alphabet. Suddenly it occurred to
Ahearn that he must have been injured
somehow. Come 70 think of il, he
meditated, that punch in the jaw in
the third round was not exactly COM
Portable. II suggested the wallop that
Mike Gibbons had hung on the same
place few weeks previous.
Yes, Mr.. Referee. am hurt" re-
Piled Jacob. assuming a very sorrowful
look. Referee Haukop waved the men
to their corners.
As soon as Ahearn Topped into his
chair Daniel McKetrick. the great
prompter. whispered into his ear. you
than Willard ever thought he was. Be
sick and look the part or I'll bean YOU"
BY the time the club physician en-
tered the ring Jacob was doubled UP
and he looked as though every kick
would be his last. The medico took a
peek at Jacobs sorrowful face and
decided that he was decidedly i'll. so
the bout ended. IL took four pail
bearers to carry Jacob TO the dressing
room. making the act very realistic.
Technically. Referee Haukop was
within his rights. The blow was. geo
metrcally. a foul one. but quick think
ing referees seldom give decision on
point OF this sort unless the blow ia
intentional or unless it incapacitates
the man who receives it from further
fighting. The foul which ended the
Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfed and the
foul which gave Willie Richie the
lightweight championship in the fight
with Ad Wolgast are examples. Cans
was incapacitated and Richie was de-
liberately fouled.

MORTIMER WINS
AT RACQUETS
Title Changes Hands in
Hard Fought Battle
in Boston.

Boston. Feb. % Stanley G.. Morti-
mer won the national racquet singles
championship title at the Tennis and
Racquet Club to-day by defeating the
1915 champion, Clarence c. Pell, in
three straight, IS -, 10, 15-l2.
Mortimer won the title-he never
held it before by playing what the
experts agree is the best racquets ever
seen at the Tennis and Racquet Club.
This is a big statement, as the worlds
best have played on the Back Bay
court. but TO it the pros and the ANA
tours give assent
The Iirst and the last games were
hard fought, i5-l2. The second game
was walkover for the new litle holder,
10 >. In the third game OF the match
Pell was leading by 10 1. Some of
those who had followed Mortimer's
carly play in the tournament and who
knew what his play had been at Tuxedo
in the gold racquet a week ago, when
he WAS defeated by Pell, said Mortimer
had cracked, that his limit was two
good games and then collapse. But
they erred.
Mortimer rallied beautifully. In sew
eral brilliant hands he ran the count 10
10 all Pell fought for his title and
fought well. Not so agile as Mortimer
the 1915 champion yet managed TO
cover the entire court. and his game
was very fast. But he could not hold
Mortimer. There wasn't even a chance
10 set the game. Mortimer ran out
10 -12, and the title had changed
hands.
Mortimer service was excellent
When serving right he used forehand
service and was able TO get tremendous
speed, but he varied has stroking and
had Pell plainly worried on every ser
wee stroke. The victor scored twelve
service aces 10 seven for Pell.
