Burke landed stiff one on
 O'Rourke's jaw and had his man almost out when one of Sans sec onds grabbed Burke's arm This made the Deaf 'un mad, and he
 whaled away and sent the second kicking. That ended the ring fight. The mob swarmed into the enclosure
 and made for Burke, who managed to escape to where a horse was tied. He rode away like mad, pursued by the bowling mob. The police came to his rescue and he was put in jail until he could safely be removed. In 1888 he returned to England, where, weakened by dissipation, he lost his title to Bendigo.
 Twenty-three years ago today Steve O'Donnell defeated Jake Klirain in twenty-one rounds at Coney Island. Jake and Steve had fought a draw in Boston a few weeks before, but in the second meeting the veteran Kilrain- was clearly outclassed. Kill
 rain, who had been declared cham
 pion of the world after his battle with Jem. Smith, the English champion,
 but was afterward defeated by John L. Sullivan, was rapidly slipping back at the time he fought O'Donnell. Only twice after that did he enter the ring. fighting a draw with Abe Ullman in Baltimore, and losing to Frank SIavin in the same city. He then retired from the ring. in which he won fame and a fair measure of f-- tune. Steve O'Donnell was an Aus tralian, and pretty good sort of when he was pitted against Kid Me fnv Tn his first m r1eefine- with the Hoosier they fought a furious draw, but in the second engagement the Kid although outweighed by twenty pounds, played with the Australian like a cat plays with a mouse, and in the sixth round knocked him cold.
 That inglorious defeat practically ended the fighting career of the Aus traIian.

Townsend and Lennon Hold Jack Tars at Bay in Sun day Pastime at Newfeld Park-Bill Smith, Local Boy, a Member of Visiting Club. ..,,...
By T. F. WAGNER.

The jolly jack tars from the good ship U. s. S. Indiana, might be past masters at scrubbing decks and climbing masts, but when it comes to performing on the old greensward they are not so active. At least they didn't set the fans wild with their baseball activities yesterday afternoon at Newfeld park against Paul Kri- ehell's All-Stars, and were defeated by to 0. The local collection of past and present stars punched their hits in the fourth and sixth inning which gave them just enough runs to win the pastime-
 w. Rogers error of an easy fly in the fourth hit by Paddy Lyons, paved the way for the first run. Lyons reached second on the misplay and took third when Skiff grounded out to Lucey. Tommy Bowden came through with a pretty blow to cen ter, sending Paddy across.
 In the sixth Martin beat out a bunt when O'Connor failed to. cover first and stopped at third on Fallon's smash to left, scoring on Skiff's squeeze" bunt. The homesters had a chance to score more runs in this inning but a fast double play, w. Rogers to Lucey, broke up the me lee.
 Only five of the regular members of the visiting team arrived at the park in time to take part in the game, incidently the sailor lads had to be contented with using four subs. Bill Smith, clerk at the Bridgeport Screw Co. prior to his enlistment last November in the marine service, 4s the only local boy with the team ~ Smith was one of the late arrivals.
 Otto Townsend started the game for the Stars and pitched a good game. He was relieved in the sixth inning to allow Lennon to Timber up. The score:

Ring Activities

The New Jersey Boxing Commission after adopting a number of excellent rules for the government of the sport, has made the mistake comon to nearly all commissions of putting forth an official scale of weights. The weights will be honored in the breach, and the only good feature is a clause prohibit ing ringside weighing and setting the hour at not later than p. m. Ring side weighing is a barbarity and richly deserves to be generally abol- ished.
 So far as fixing a scale of weights is concerned, the commission lacks the power to enforce them, and $le figures will get dusty on the records. There will be no use for the weights be- cause the commission has Jurisdiction over New Jersey boxing alone and cannot dictate weights for national or state championships, because decl- sions are not permitted under the Hurley law.
 So far as the rules are concerned they appear to be excellent, and the only thing to be done now is to en- force them. While the commission is taking it's time in issuing licenses, it shows wisdom in that respect, for every application should be closely sccrutinized.
 Ae was to have been expected, pro- tests have been filed with the commits sion against open air boxing in the Newark Velodrome. It does not ap- pear that a community which has well h in ho Velodrome can convincingly object to week day boxing in the same arena. Frankie Britt, who rejoices in the title of lightweight champion of New England, is discerning person. He recently got into the ring with Lew Tender and was stopped in jig time.
 Even this summary defeat did not injure Britt's drawing ability and he quickly accepted match with Joe | Yelling, who is decidedly a top notcher in the lightweight class. However, it appears that Britt had some doubts about the advisability of taking another trouncing on such i short notice, and therefore, when Yelling scaled two pounds over the stipulated weight the New England champion quickly declared off the | contest.
 In order not to disappoint the ticket buyers Britt consented to go on with his sparring partner, Shaver O'Brien who was more than two pounds over weight. This performance by Britt seems to show that Massachusetts needs a boxing commission to suspen6 | a chap like Britt.

NEW GIANT IS
 SEASONS FIND
Ross Young, Texan Out
 fielder, Sensation of 1918 in Big League Circles.

The year of 1918 is hardly likely to be particularly favorable season for young ball players. This is a year for veterans, particularly for married men and men over the draft age. Many grizzled baseball veteran holds a big league job this season solely because of the war. Other veterans, discarded to the minor several seasons ago, have been into major league service.
 Various conditions have worked against the creation of young stars during the past few years. In the first place, Uncle Sam has drafted great batch of promising embryonic talent into his own service. The
 number of young, unmarried ball players from now on will rapidly grow less and less. Then again the un- healthy conditions in the minor leagues in recent years hardly have tended to bring out good crop ,of promising talent.
 
 lowed by the world war, wore down the minor leagues to a skeleton of the prosperous chain of leagues which netted the country six years ago, baseball lost it's attraction to a great many young men as a business. While major league salaries have been high CT during the last five years than | ever before, minor league pay has been receding year by year, and the great majority of young fellows who | decide to make baseball their business must start with the minors. Further
 more, the minor league field has been | greatly reduced.
 There were close to fifty minor | leagues in existence when the Fed eral League was launched in the win ter of 1e13-1914. Of these only a | few of the larger ones survive. l Despite the blow-up of so many
 minor leagues, several good young l players are now appearing on the major league diamonds. Several
 mighty dexterous boys have made 1 their appearance since last year, and l one of them, at least, seems destined 1 for a career that will link his name 1 with Cobb and Speaker as one of the great stars of this era.
 | It remained for the New York Giants, the strongest team of individ- | uaI stars in either league, to pick out l this one big prize of the year, the | dashing young Texan outfe1der, Ross
 Young. From every indication Young has it in him to be the big ace of the
 National League, which since the de- cline of Wagner, has had no real star 1 to stand above his fellows. Young
 now is just past 20 and is not yet | eligible for the draft.
 His brief career is one round of
 batting successes. At the age of IS,
 playing for Sherman, Tex, he led the Western Association with an average of .362 It was here that McGraw saw him and immediately predicted | wonderful career for the boy. Last year, at the age of 19, he hit .356 in the International League, his figures
 being bettered only by the veteran 1 slugger Lajoie, who was one of the
 king pins of the National League sev-
 eraI wears before Young was born.

FIsTIC HISTORY

Prize Fighting as conducted in the early days of the game in America was far from being a pink tea affair b,1+ nerhaDs the most disgraceful hout ever pulled off was that between Deaf Burke, the British champlon and Samuel O'Rourke, the champion of Ireland, near New Orleans elgnIy- two year ago today. May 6, 1886 This battle was the most important that had ever been staged in America up to that time, and it aroused grea' excitement. Burke was the first Eng fish title-holder to invade the New World. while O'Rourke had fought and won many battles over here be- fore Burke's arrival. O'Rourke was running a saloon in the Crescent City when he issued a challenge to Burke and the dispenser of wet goods was very much surprised one day when Burke walked into his place and ac- cepted the challenge. Sam refused tc for less than a thousand dollars, and Burke didn't have that amount, but James H. Caldwell, manager of the St. Charles theatre and others offered to back the champion.
 While Burke was in training it was said that an attempt was made on his life, and although he was ot Irish descent, the hibernians Of New Orleans were all for O'Rourke. The O'Rourke men were out in force when the ring was pitched on the banks of the Mississippi. Most oi them were armed to the teeth ana carried clubs and sling shots besides pistols and knives. They were de termined to have their man win.
 It was a disgracfu1 affair all the way. O'Rourke and his packers en- gagged in all sorts of foul tactics but Burke was winning in a walk in spite of it. In the third round

 Runor has it that a local enthusiast will seek to have Governor Beeckman give his permission to have the fight held here, and that if the sanction is secured the ringside, reported to have been built in sections in Chicago, will be shipped to Newport, so that the fight can be staged at Freebody Park.
 The manager of the fight, 1t is said, loks with favor upon Newport, be- cause of the many service men here, and it's close proximity to New York, Boston and Providence.
