left as they met in the twelfth. Wilson
hooked right to Mikes jaw, then
rocked him with left to the jaw
Wilson was hitting low all the time
with his left hand. They mixed it
furiously, Wilson pounding Mikes body
with hard lefts. Mike knocked Wilson
against the ropes with right to the
jaw. Wilson came back with left to
the wind which was evidently low, but
Mikes claim of foul was unheeded.
They stood head to head, hammering
away with both hands at close quar-
tels, while pandemonium ran riot
through the arena. This was another
whirlwnd round and by far the best
fighting they had shown thus far.
They were at it like bulldogs again
in the thirteenth. Mike whipped a
hard right to Wilson's jaw, but took
three stiff lefts to the wind in return.
Mike had great difficulty in avoiding
cut over O'Dowd's left eye with right
swing and in few seconds Mike was
covered with blood from head to foot.
Wilson kept peppering the spot with
his right. Mike seemed much dis
tressed.
Wilson kept up the bombardment
against the wound in the fourteenth
round. O'Dowd, however, got his right
to working and four times in rapid
succession swung stiff rights to Will
sons jaw that set the champion back
on his heels. Wilson put, in several
stiff short-arm lefts to Mikes wind.
O'Dowd staggered Wilson with a wick
ed right to the head. which the cham
pion fortunately got inside of. O'Dowd
was wild with his right and missed
several swings, Wilson ripping lefts
into his midriff. Each. time Wilson
was taking advantage of O'Dowd's
blind side
Wilson jabbed Mike with right
after they shook hands for the final
round. Mike worked in close and shot
q right hook to Wilson'S body. They
stood at close quarters pounding away
with both hands for half minute.
Wilson caught Mike with stiff left to
the wind then he peppered his bad eye
with the right. Wilson hooked his
right to Mikes jaw. Mike shot stiff
right swing to Wilson's face but got a
right on the bad eye in exchange. Will

Stewards Give
Trainer FeustcI
Secret Hearing
Jockey Club Board Fails
10 Tell Why License
Was Laid Upon Table

Though he appeared before them In
secret in this city Wednesday night at
his own solicitation, the stewards of
the Jockey Club maintain discreet
silence as to the case of Louis FeusteI.
trainer and developer of Man o. War.
the greatest sensation the American
turf has ever known. The Jockey Club
admitted yesterday that Feustel had At
tended q star chamber session the pre-
vious night, but absolutely refused to
divulge anything that had taken place.
Feustel's application for renewal
of his trainers license was laid on che
table at the last regular meeting of
the stewards of the Jockey Club. This
fact was announced publicly, though
there appeared no good reason why the
incident should have BEEN published
broadcast unless the powers had cause
for complaint against the trainer. The
implied stigma has set tongues waggine
and all sorts of gossip and rumors as
to the cause of the action have been
launched.
The Jockey Club, which arrogates
unto itself the most autocratic powers,
would naturally take it's own time to
even if he were able to make satis-
factory explanation. 1t is believed the
tabling of his license was move to
make him "turn copper" on another
prominent trainer. Perhaps som ethins
will develop at the next meeting of the
Jockey Club.
Meanwhile the Jockey Club has in
stituted an innovation which should do
racing world of good and eliminate
the rough riding that has been q dis
grace for some years past. Hereafter
there will be an extra steward, known
as the starting steward, on the job. He
will accompany Starter Mars Cassidy
to the post and take his station within
Is short distance of the barrier, so that
he may see everything that happens at
the post and for the first furlong or
more of the race
He will report to the presiding stew
ards Immediately after each race. This
additional official, with the patrol
judges, should be able to dsafeguar
every yard of the course and to prevent
the rough riding that has been in vogue
in the early running of races, and more
especially in two-year-old racing
through the chutes
New-York tribune., 1921-03-18

One Of the greatest crowds that ever
saw fight in the Garden watched the
two middleweights rush and swing,
burdencd with the skill that belonged
to such great middleweights of the
past, as Bob Fitzsimmons or Tommy
Ryan.
O'Dowd, the Irish blond, grim and
determined, was the aggressor, but as
he charged in the black-haired, swarthy
Italian met each charge with singing
left. 1t was this left of @Wilson's
that kept chuggiRg into the badly ham
mered pit of Mikes stomach that turned
the tide.
O'Dowd Deep Crimson
Wilson, being southpaw, led with
his right, swinging the left for pun
ishing series of body blows. In the
thirteenth round one of Wilson'S saw
age blows cut deep trench. at the edge
of O'Dowd's scalp, directly over the left
eye.
From this trench red stream
poured into Mikes optic, and after .
Few seconds spread over his entire
face, so O'Dowd finished the last three
rounds deep crimson from head to
waist, a brighter red than Georgia
sunset. The cut may have come from
a rim of the gloves or from the lacinps.
but after it arrived O'Dowd was no
part of beautiful sight.
For the first ten rounds the two
slugging middleweights maintained an
even pace, with little advantage either
way, but at this stage Wilson'S busy
left began to tell as it played a merry
and endless tattoo upon the Irish
fighters stomach. In the ninth round
Wilson staggered his opponent with a
resounding hook to the pit of the abdo-
men, but Mike gamely returned the
FIRE, organized a counter charge of his
own and promptly staggered Wilson
with q right hook to the jaw.
After this exchange the two fighters
whirled together into a wild melee AS
the crowd arose upon its hind legs and
rocked the Garden with its approving
roar. This was the best round of the
fight.
O'Dowd Claims a Foul
Another outburst of frenzied excite
ment came in the twelfth, when O'Dowd
staggered and claimed that he had
been fouled. Wilson had been hitting
dangerously low more than once, but
the referee refused to allow the claim.
Mike could not have been badly hurt,
for after his claim was turned down
he rushed at Wilson with a snarl and
swept him into the ropes. In the last
two rounds, O'Dowd opend furious
attack in a vain effort to get a right.
hook across, but Wilson continued to
slow him down with that slugging left.

Wilson came up for the eighth paving

Strengthened him up with right to the

his chin, but the champion tucked two

They started cautiously, Wilson paw
ing at Mike, who sent his right to Will
sons jaw as they clinchd. They ex-
changed lefts and rights without much
effect. Wilson seemed uncertain with
his right. O'Dowd crowded Wilson to
the ropes and hammered him with a
half dozen 1efts and rights. AS the
champion covered, Wilson pecked
ODowd several times with the right,
but Mike worked in close and got
stiff right to the champions wind. 1t
was rather tame first round, with
u'Dowd having shade the better of it.
O'Dowd, who had appeared nervous at
the start, was plainly waiting with the
right as they clashed in the second
round. They got in close and exchange
wailops to the stomach. Wilson whipped
tour stiff lefts to Mikes wind, and
though Mike retaliated in kind, his
blows did not have the force of Wilson's.
Mike then worked in close and spun
wilson round with a right hook to the
Jaw. Wilson shot the left to Mikes
lace, but O'Dowd came back with left
nook to the stomach and right to the
Jaw. Wilson found O'Dowd twice with
stiff lefts, to the face and then to the
oody. Wilson looked a little better.

Just how good Weinert is nobody
