Is Defeated by Newly Organized
Club by 3 to 2.

soccer eleven hsiling from near George

The men who featured in the game
were Mike Raftery, who ingeniously
spread his net of digits in forcing the
ball back into play; Jack Crawford. who
dribbled the ball into the enemy's goal,
and it was through his efforts that the
goals were scored for Washington.
Capt. William Pearson and young Bob
Leckie for the "Rovers'' were at all
times in the game, and their strenuous
attitude of agility spelled defeat for the

Fighting Fierce Throughout.
There was a whole lot OF lighting
crowded into yesterdays twenty-round
bout and also a couple OF acts not adver-
tised IN the newspapers.
HoUck proved the same demon as Of
yore for absorbing punishment, and had
all the better OF it when 1t came to close
range, but on the other hand Lowe kept
poking away with that famous left jab
and short right when the boys mixed
things up toe to toe, 50 Referee O'Con-
nor's verdict Of a draw was about the
only decision that could have been rem
dered.
In the eighth round, or, to be exact,
during the three-minute recess preceding
this chapter, HOuck's seconds dabbed
some collodion on a cut under the boxer 8
left eye. with the result that the fumes
Of the stun entered the eye and so blind
ed the PhiladelPhian that he boxed the
round with one lamp entirely closed.
HOuck Meets with Injury.
In the eighteenth round Houck dislo-
Gated one OF the leaders Of his left arm
and during intermissiOn a doctor was
called to look at the injured member.
Although the bell rang before cursory
examination could be made. and Referee
O'Connor asked Lowe to hold back few
minutes, the veteran refused and insisted
that the fight either proceed or else that
The Washington herald., 1916-01-02

Houck quit. Houck refused to out and
stuck to his task gamely until the final
bell rang.
Despite the two handicaps mentioned in
the foregoing, Houck put up a gallant
fight, and Lowe did not possess the
necessary punch to knock out his rug
ged adversary when opportunities pre-
sented.
Houck's left hook only landed the
once, for the veteran was too crafty to
be caught mapping after the first chap
ter.
Thomas Beats smith.
In the semi-wind-up Young Thomas
was given a decision over Henry Smith,
of Baltimore, after six rounds of fight
ing. Smith was hog fat when he enter
ed the ring. and knew just enough to
keep the local boy at a safe distance.
rhe car service after the bouts was
wretched, and the fans were kept wait
ing more than one hour before the
trains left for the Capital. Such poor
service will eventually kill the game
at ArdmOre, for people will not patronze
a club unless transportation facilities in
sure a quick getaway.
In the curtan-raiser Yellow Slugger,
OF Washington, gained the decision
over Ferry Jones. OF Philadelphia The
other preliminary resulted in a draw
between Jack Boland, of Washington,
and Soldier Dutch, of Fort Myer.

Billy weart. the Quaker City baseball
writer. vouchsafes the Information that
Mack has under cover a shortstop who
is going to prove a sensation and that
Connie has the youth tied up to con-
tract, but that for certain reasons he
may not spring him upon the public until
next June.
Clark Griffith will probably take a n.y.
ing trip to Charlottesville this week for
the purpose of settling IL possible the
spring training camp problem.
While Trainer Mike Martin. on a pre-
vious visit to the university town, brought
back the discouraging report that suta-
Bile lodgings for the Washington baseball
family could not be obtained, Grif hopes
to find a way out of the difficulty, and
the Old Fox usually gets what he goes
after, so do not be surprised to read that
everything is settled for the ~ttionals to
train in Charlottesville next March.
Local boxing fans who attend the Ard
more bouts marvel each time they see
the veteran, Tommy Lowe, in action
marvel at the old-timer, and wonder how
he gets away with it, for Lowe is 80
years old, and no matter how tough is
his opponent backed up with youth Lowe
usually brings home the bacon and ap-
pears faster than ever.
One secret Of loves success is that he
always keeps in good physical condition.
He does not dissipate. and never allows
the fat to creep onto that bony frame of
his.
If Lowe had just a little more power in
his wallops he would be right up among
the topnotchers of the lightweight d.
vision today.
