Song, Beautiful River"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-01-31
BENNY LEONARD
BEAT PHIL BLOOM

I: New York, JAM 31.-Benny Leonard,
the Harlem lightweight, was not
forced to extend himself to his limit
last night to win the honors over Phil
Bloom, the Brooklyn contender for
Freddie We1sh's championship title, in
their ten round bout, which was the
main, attraction at the Broadway
Sporting club Of Brooklyn. The con-
test can be summed up as hardly more
than gymnasium workout for the
fast little Harlem boxer, who man
aged to restrict his opponents efforts
to such a. degree that Bloom landed
hardly dozen blows.
Leoiard earned the honors in all of
the ten rounds and accomplished this
with apparent ease. He foored Bloom
clearly in the second round with a
hard right hand blow to the jaw and
the Brooklyn boxer found it necessary
70 take a count of eight before aris-
ing.
From this stage of the contest Leon
ard had his adversary holding at every
opportunity, and in the fifth, sixth and
tenth sessions Bloom was on the verge
Of q knockout. The bell in the fifth
round found the Brooklynite ready to
drop to the floor as a result of terrific
beowsI to the jaw. In the other two
rounds, when he had Bloom in dis
tress, Leonard either eased up in his
boxing or failed to land cleanly with
. deciding blow.

GIANTS GET JOE
WAGNER OF REDS
BY WAIVER ROUTE

New York, Jan. 31-John McGraw
is passing up no chances to acquire
experienced utility men. Close in
the wake Of his signing Red Murray
came the information yesterday that
the New York club had claimed Joe
Wagner from Cincinnati by the waiv-
er route.
The action Of the Giants nullifes a
deal which Cincinnati had arranged
with John Cancels Kansas City club.
Last season Wagner was with Mon
treal and was recalled in the au-
tumn He did not report back to
Matty and was released to Kansas
City without further trial. When
New York was asked recently to give
it's sanction to the release McGraw
decided that Wagner might prove a
handy man to have around for an
emergency. Wagner will leave with
the early squad Tor Marlin, on Feb.
%. y
Wagner can play any infie1d posi-
ton and is a highly desirable man
for defensive purposes. AS a batter
Wagner is not very formidable.
Though Wagner entered the big
league by way Of the West, he got
his early baseball education on Har-
lem lots.

GEORGE BURNS OF
DETROIT TEAM Is
ONLY BOY OF "a

George Burns, the towering first
sacker of the Detroit Tigers, is "a
years old today, as he was born on the
last day of January. 1898. He, got his
first trial with the Jennings bunch in
1913, when he was just past 20, but
Hughie did not consider him ripe for
fast company, and turned him back
to Sioux City on an optional agree
ment. Burns did SO well in the West
ern league that season. batting .301,
that he was recalled to the Automo-
bile City, and in 1914 landed a regu-
lar job at the initial bag.
He batted .291 his first year in the
big show, which was not so bad for
a new beginner, Mawruss. In 1915
his batting fell off to .253, but last
year, in 1875 games. he fattened his
acreage to 1856, standing third in bat
ting among the regular first sackers
of the Johnson circuit, although near
the bottom of the list in fielding.
Burns is a Philadelphia by birth
and early training in the diamond
pastime. He is one Of three represeD-
taties of the clan made famous by
the renowned Scottish bard to break
into fast company at about the same
time. Eddie Burns, Californian by
birth, and a backstop by trade, landed
with the Phillies the same year
George caught on with Detroit, and a
year after the other illustrious Geo.
Burns, the rd-hitting outf1elder of
the Giants, got into the main tent.

HANDS DARCY
$4,000 FOR
BOXING MCCOY

New York. Jan. 31-Les Darcy can
thank E. Timothy O'Sullivan, the
man who came all the way from Aus
tralia with him, for getting a fat
guarantee of $4,000 for his first fistic
appearance in America. OSullivan
forced Grant Hugh Browne to livk
up to his preliminary Contract last
night before he placed his signature
to set of articles calling for a To-
round bout with Middleweight Cham
pion al Mccoy at Madison Square
Garden on the night Of March 5.
O'Sullivan accepted Charley White
for referee without comment.
Darcy's manager went to the Nc
Alpin to close with Browne, and Grant
Hugh wanted to postpone the signing
until after he had returned from
Montreal on Thursday,
'I should very we'll like ito sign
now" said O'Sullivan in his quaint
Australian way.
'''Too busy now, Tim. Much too
busy. Off to Montreal in a jiffy. Back
Thursday. See you then"
t'See me NOW or shall very well
advise Les to take one Of the big
Western Offers" piped O'Sullivan.
"Al1 right, then. Well sign now
said Browne "Give you $25,O0O."
you'll give us the 100000 you con-
tracted for in your preliminary agree
ment or there will be no fight on
March s." snapped O'Sullivan.
Pop Rudolph, father of the cham
pion, with visions of sonny's $4,000
gone aglimmering, begged O'Sullivan
to be nice little boy and accept the
$4,000. O'Sullivan tipped his chair
back against the wall and murmered,
$4,000, gentlemen ,as per the
agreement in my inside pocket, sign
ed by Mr.. Browne And there he
sat- Browne, whose whole existence
is composed of dots and dashes, finally
broke the deadlock.
4"Oh, since you insist, O'Sullivan,
$4,000 it will be. Sign" he said as
he handed O'Sullivan bejewelled
fountain pen.
ga very lovely looking trinket, Mr..
Browne said O'SulIivan, as he eyed
the gaudy descendant of the common
goose quill. ''but I DON'T sign until
get the $4,000 advance which you
promised to hand over in your pre-
liminary contract"
"You never overlook anything, do
you, O'Sullivan?" said Browne.
3eWhy should I, Mr.. Browne, since
it's such LOT Of money! unused
E. Timothy. Thereupon Browne took
the sursingle off the G. H. B. bankroll
and handed OSullivan $1,000 in
crisp bank notes and check, certi-
fed check, if you please, for $4,000
O'Sullivan admired the pen again
took deep breath and scrawled "E
Timothy O'Sullivan" across the ar
ticles of agreement for James Leslie
Darcy.
There is one clause in the articles
that did not like but had to give
way to Rudolph. It is the one which
stipulates that in case Mccoy loses on
foul he shall not lose his title.' said
O'Sullivan shortly after. cit leaves a
loophole for Mccoy, but I had te
stand for it,

Jack Dempsey Was
Never Afraid To Box
Heavier Opponents

1t takes a mighty good little man
to whip a good big man, but Jack
Dempsey, who was middlewefght
champion in the sos and until he
knocked out by Fitz in New Orleans in
81, was an extraordinary scrapper.
Only 5 feet 8 inches in height, and
weighing at his fighting best less than
$50 pounds, he often fought heavy
weights. Perhaps the best of the big
fellows he tackled was Dominick Nc
Caffrey. The Nonpareil fought Dom
mick, who had a weight advantage OF
at least 25 pounds IN Jersey City
twenty nine years ago today, and
clearly outpointed the big chap in 10
rounds.
McCaffrey had defeated the famous
Charlie Mitchell, and had stayed 6
rounds with John L. Sullivan in Gin
cinnati in 1885. He confidently ex-
pected that his superior height and
weight would enable him to knock out
Dempsey, but the feinting and foot
work Of the middleweight champion
made all Of Dominick's ferocious on
slaughts futile. Dempsey's friends
were delighted with this exhibition,
as they had feared that in tackling
McCafrey their idol was biting off
more than he could masticate.

HUGH ROSS TO TAKE
ON MIKE MTIGUE In
NEW HAVEN TONIGHT

New Haven, Jan. 31-New Haven
boxing fans are on edge for the series
Of bouts to be staged at the Royal A.
c. on George street tonight Thirty
one rounds of milling comprise the
card. The show will start at S:15
o'clock. q
In the star bout Hugh Ross, OF
Bridgeport, will clash with Mike Nc
Tigue, the veteran New York scrap-
per, in a mill of Is rounds. Ross,
on the strength Of his brilliant show.
ing thus far this season, has been in
stalled a favorite to win the decision.
He has failed to meet with reverse
this season and has chalked up VIC
tories over such men as Jimmy
O'Hagen, Knockout Sweeney, Cow .
boy Stands, Dave Kurtz and Joe
Borrell.
Ross is coming along rapidly upon
the careful guidance Of Terry Lee and
bids fair to make considerable trou-,
BILE in the middleweight ranks be-
fore the end of the year. He finish,,,
ed up his training at Battling Levin
sky's camp at Stratford yesterday
and appeared to be in gold shape for
his long grind. ~

DECIDE TO MAKE
RACE ON HUDSON /.
ONLY THREE MILES

s New York, Jan 31-The varsity
eight-oared shell race at Poughkeep-
sic will, in the future, be over three
mile instead OF a four-mile course.
This was announced yesterday by
Charles Halstead of Mapes, chairman
Of the Board Of Stewards Of the In
tercollegiate Rowing Asso citation,
which governs the !Pougheepsie Re-
kgatta.I The stewards voted by long
distance telephone on Monday to
shorten the race a. mile.
This followed an informal decis-
ion reached on Thursday last. At
that time the stewards voted inform
ally as being unanimously In favor OF
three instead Of a four-mile race
for the varsity race.
Reduction of the distance Of the big
race at Poughkeepsie has been agi-
tated by rowing auth orities for some
time. Many men prominent in
aquatic circles have gone on record
as being in favor of three-mile race.
Courtney of Cornell, Rice of Column
bia. and Wright of the University OF
Pennsylvania were all outspoken IA
favor of the change.
Officials who agitated the change,
which takes effect next June, hold
that If soatsmen suffer any ill effects
physically from the strain Of four
mile race the wear and tear on me
physique Of the man will certainly be
less in the shorter contest

Hartman Gains In
Dog Team Race AS
His Opponents Sleep

Dalton, Mimi, Jan. 31-While
seven entries in the Winnipeg-St.
Paul dog race slept here last night.
in the belief that all would get away
to an even start this morning and
that Fred Hartman, the American
driver, would be forced to stop for
the night many miles behind them,
"the Yankee" as Herman is known
to his rivals, passed through here in
the dead of night, headed for .Ashby,
Mimi, eight miles southeast of
here,
When Hartman left Fergus Falls
last night he announced that he
would 'hit the trair' again at day
light, no matter at what hour he tied
up for the night.
The townspeople in Fergus Falls
had prepared to entertain Hartman
at banquet, but he pushed out into
the teeth Of a northwest gale and is
believed to have covered more than
SO miles during the day and part of
the night, as against 33 miles covered
by his rivals, who spent the night
here.
Until last night Hartman was
thought to be hopelessly out Of the
race. Shortly after leaving ST.
Agatha, Man, he lost his dead dog,
which was killed when the other
members Of the team attacked him.
Since then Hartman has driven only
three dogs, during a greater part Of
the time carrying one of the dogs
which was injured in the fight. From
st. Agatha to this place Hartman has
travelled every mile on foot, while
his rivals have ridden much of the
time.

ceived by Provost Smith by telephone,
telegraph, letter, and in person. From
personal complaints against the sum-
mary dismissal of Folwe1l without any
explanation early in the morning, the
protests grew by leaps and bounds
until early evening, when a climax
was reached in the form Of formal
standardization emanating from the
fRate Legislature session at Harris
burg ~ 4A 46 IL.
Twenty-one members Of the legisla-
ture, alumni Of the university, and
among them number Of former foot
ball stars, rallied at Harrisburg to

q comfttee to meet DR.. Goodspeed and
other members of the faculty and to
