DOCKED MOUNTS NO
LONGER RECOGNIZED
Only English Saddle Type Will
BE Exhibited at Horse Show
in Garden.

In making up the prize list soon TO
be issued for the National Horse Show in
Madison Square Garden from November
IL TO IL all classes for locked saddle
horses have been eliminated. The type
has become SO nearly extinct that the
few shown hereafter will have to COM
pete in the same classes with long tailed
horses of the thoroughbred type, which
now dominate the show rings and the
bride paths OF Central Park.
The action Of the association Is deemed
TO mark the passing OF tho old time New
York type Of saddle horse which held
und sputed sway in the early days Of the
horse show back In 1888. and for many
years afterward. The beginning OF the
end came when Vivian Gooch Of Wind
sor. England. was engaged to Judge at
the Garden about fifteen years ago. He
pronounced the American saddle horses
too "harnessy." meaning they looked like
harness horses. and In Judging he gave
the principal prizes to few long tailed
horses OF the thoroughbred type ex-
hlbited by horsemen who knew what the
English expert liked.
Owners and admirers OF the brilliant
srtioned. high styled. locked horses
raj sed a commotion over Goochs revolu.
tionary awards, but the association
stood behind him. and he came back
year after year until the English type
was firmly established here.
Exhibitors OF locked horses threat
ened to go on strike when the tide be-
gan 10 run strongly against them. and
the National Horse Show Association
then poured oil on the troubled waters
by making separate classes for locked
and unlocked saddle horses.

COMMERCE STARTS
FOOTBALL BADLY
Suffers Defeat by Manual
Training in Brooklyn by a
Score Of 10 to O.

In the opening game OF the local
afternoon Manual Training High School
of Brooklyn defeated tho High School
OF Commerce by a score OF 10 to o. The
game was played at Commercial Field,
Brooklyn.
Although both teams were composed
almost entirely OF new players the game
was well played and hard fought
throughout. Both elevens handled the
ball we'll only once during the contest
did either side make tumble. Both
sides played straight football through
out. The forward pass was put into
play once by Commerce. but the Orange
and Blue failed to successfully execute It.
Frank Toble. right halfback, and
Mosczenski. fulloack. were the Blue and
Gold stars. Tobie went over for two
touchdowns and scored touchback,
while Moscxenski scored Il touchdown.
1t was the fine line plunging OF these
two lads that earned Manual the VIC
tory.
All OF the scoring was done In the
second half. During the first two periods
the ball left midheld on only one occa-
sion. That was when Manual carried
the leather to the Commerce yard line.
but the quarter ended before the Brook
lynites could carry II over the line
Manuals first touchdown came late IN
the third period after series OF line
plunges by Mosczenski and Tobie which
placed the ball on Commences 20 YARD
line. Tobie then went around right end
for ten yards before being brought down.
On the next play the big Blue and Gold
halfback went over for his teams nrst
touchdown. Scofeld kicked the goal.
Tobie registered his second touchdown
early In the last quarter after double
tumble. The ball rolled from Com
merce's yard line behind the Com
merce posts, with Tobie falling on the
ball. This time Scofield failed at goal,
Mosczensk then tailed the final touch
down of the game from Commences 3
ward line, where the ball was placed by
half a dozen line punges.
Once in the last quarter Commerce
came near Its opponents posts This
was toward the latter part OF the quar-
ter, when they had the ball on Manuars
20 yard line. But Manual braced and
quickly brought 1t back to midfield. The

pardon us for pointing out a few errors
in his statistics.
The bout between walcott and La
vigns took place at the Empire A. c.,
Maspeth. December 2. 1895. and at this
time LaviEne was not even the recog-
nized champion lightweight Of America,
McAuliffe. who still held the title. did
not formally retire till March II. 1895,
which was the date on which he and
Lavigne boxed q six round bout In this
city McAuliffe learned enough about
Iavigne's ability in this bout to induce
him to retire. thus resigning all claim
TO tho lightweight title Of America,
which is the only one that McAuliffe
ever held.
Lavigne at once claimed title and de-
Tended 1t successfully for three years.
Lavigne did not become the worlds
lightweight champion till June 1. 1895.
when he knocked out Dick Burge in the
National Sporting Club Of London.
Therefore when Lavigne got into the
ring with walcott December 2. 1895. the
Saginaw Kid did not hold any title at
all
Joe walcott won the weller title from
Jim Ferns in 1901. six years after the
meeting with Lavtgne. so that the negro
held no title whatever when no got into
the ring with Lavigne. The bout there
fore between Lavigne and walcott was
not championship contest, as neither
man was a champion.
Handicap Contest.
The contest between Lavgne and Wal
colt was a handicap affair. The negro
undertook to stop Layigne inside OF
fifteen rounds for side bet OF $500.
and he failed. walcott under the agree
nent was compelled to make 1873 ring
side, and this weakened the negro to a
degree that prevented him fighting In
his usual FORM Lavigne had the better
OF the fight on points and also won the
side bet
Walcott and Cans met in San Fran
cisco September so, 1904. and battled to
draw In twenty rounds. As Cans had
won the lightweight championship OF
the world from Erne May ~. 1902. the
negro was champion Of his class at the
time he entered the ring with Walcott.
Unfortunately for the titular aspect of
NE battle Walcott had been Invested of
his wtlter title on April 80. 1904. by
Dixie Kid. who received a. referees de-
as!on over the Black Demon In the
twentieth round OF their battle because
Of foul blow by walcott. Dixie Kid
rad the better OF the contest on points
~ to the time the foul blow was struck.
Taking into consideration these indls-
outable facts. the bout between Leonard
and Lewis was the first in America In
which the worlds champions OF the light
and weller divisions were pitted against
each other.

LEONARD OVERCAME
HANDICAP IN.WEIGHT
Lightweight Fought Skilful
and Courageous Battle
Against Lewis.
PRESS AGENT IN ERROR
Not Third Effort Of 1876 Pound
Title Holder to Win
Welter HOnOrs. -
PRESS AGENT IN ERROR
By CROSS COUNTER.

One angle of the Leonard-Lewis con-
test that appears to have been over
looked Is the weight handicap that the
lightweight champion overcame. A few
pounds of flesh In a bout between boxers
OF the lighter classes Is decided ad-
vantage TO the possessor. especially II
the men in other respects are well
matched. Shrewd managers OF boxers
are keenly alive to that fact, and there
has been more haggling over questions
Of weight than over even the important
matter of compensation. Many in
stances are on record Of forfeits claimed
for a few ounces overweight.
Therefore when 1t Is considered that
Leonard conceded at least six pounds TO
the craftiest boxer and hardest hitter in
tho weller division the performance of
the lightweight champion In making so
remarkable a fight against odds, looms
up as one OF his greatest battles.
II was evident when Lewis began the
battle that he had mapped out cam
paien based on the Peter jackson plan
VI inducing his opponent to lead with
%e left and then crossing him with the
right It looked in the opening round
as though the Briton would succeed
for he landed two right hand thumps
on the side of Leonard's face that were
uncomfortable to say the least. Had
either hit the chin 1t might have been
curtains for Benny.
1t took Leonard three rounds to gauge
Lewis's tactics. and after that the well
ter champion found his attack ineffec-
tive. His right and left swings for the
Jaw went wild or were easily ducked by
Leonard. while the lightweight seldom
missed the face with his lightning left.
From our point OF view Lewis was a
bewidered and badly mussed up youth
when the final bell sounded. In a bout
Of twelve or fifteen rounds there Is
reason for the belief that Leonard would
score a knockout
