career Of Tom Sayers that time
will never erase. No matter
whether he was merely an inno-
cent party to the dastardly deed.
it will always be remembered when
his name comes up for discussion.
That frtghtful happening came
about in his fight with John
Heenan, when the latter was actual
ly robbed of his honors by the
cowardly and ruffianly tactics of
Sayers's seconds. The ending was
so far out of order that the fair.
minded critics of that day always
conceded Heenan was the winner
though the referee. Frank Bowling.
called II a draw.
ATTACKED BY CROWD.
Nothing like 1t could happen in
these times. Heenan was not only
forced to fight Sayers. but when
the Englishman was reeling around
absolutely helpless. the American
was attacked by some of Sayers's s
friends and compelled to fight them.
They didn't hesitate to punch. kick
and do everything to hurt Heenan,
but the latter was too game and
strong and did more damage than
he received.
It was q brawI that would never
be heard Of in these times. for con-
ditions have advanced too far to
permit such terrible spectacles OF
mob rule. especially when the at
tack Is directed at one man.
Sayers made the fatal mistake
Of Understanding Heenan. which
he quickly discovered after the
fight started. When 1t got around
to the thirty-eighth round Sayers'
seconds determined to do some
thing to save their idol. They pre-
pared to break through the ropes
and end hostilities in a scrimmage.
Heenan saw the ruse and grabbed
Sayers by the neck. Holding his
head under his arm, Heenan
punched away and Sayers was only
saved from sinking to the ground
by Heenan's grasp. The Sayers
adherents grabbed Heenan s arm
and while they punched and kicked
him dragged Sayers to his corner.
REFEREE RAN AWAY.
In the next round the crowd jump
ed into the ring and the referee ran
away. Heenan rushed through the
CrOWd ana pursued SdyeTs. ne NIT
the Englishman freely and chased
him all around. In the forty-second
round Sayers was unable to rise. but
his seconds wouldn't toss in the
towel as an indication Of defeat.
Heenan rushed at Savers and struck
the seated fighter. This started
general melee, and as the free-for-
all continued Sayers' friends carried
him out of the ring. 1t was a de-
spicable ending and robbery so far
as Heenan was concerned.
When you read of these disgrace
full fights in former days and wit
ness fights of today the difference is
startling. You never hear of
crowd storming a ring and hitting
a winning fighter. They may boo
and hiss. but never start roughing.
If they did they would not last an
instant. SO well are the fighters
protected. Now and then there Is
a little rumpus, but It never gets
beyond control. We can be thankful
that the fighting Of today is so far
above that of the old times, other
wise we would never be able to see
any scraps.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE

As this amounts to the same

That old, quaint tribal cere-

they indorsed their betrothal
with enduring aim, with this

ruled out Of declarations Of

Boston admirers Of exclusive
errors will have to limit their

Can Philadelphia fans con-
troll their sloth-like belliger-

Will Washington and Cleye-

victory wherein nobody is de-

How will Detroit do it's after

CHOICE CARD
OF GAMES FOR
METHODISTS
Marines Awarded Grid Date on
Green and Gold Schedule
Next Season.
WESTMINSTER, Md, Dec. II.
" The schedule as planned

"T ES MlNSl En-, Mo-, Dec. 4.
" The schedule as planned
for Western Maryland foot
ball team Of 1928 will be one of
the most pretentious calendars ar
ranged by the Green and Gold in
years, although the list of games
is still more or less problematical.
The committee has been working
upon the schedule for some time,
and it is thought it will be COM
plete within the next few days.
The announcement that Western
Maryland will play the Marines in
Westminster on October 6 indicates
that the Green and Gold Is going
far out OF its usual beaten path &C
far as grid games are concerned.
Enough games with State colleges
are considered the top portion Of
the Methodist schedule, due to the
fact that the Maryland title hinges
thereon, the invasion Of the Quan.
tico men will be the feature Of the
program for the Westminster lads.
As Uncle Sans service men from
the Virginia camp tackle the Third
wi pS Fi "a ttiIIl III OdiJlN1Ore SIa-
dium in the big Marine-Army game
later in the season. the first 1923
appearance OF the Leathernecks on
Maryland soil undoubtedly will draw
much attention. though 1t must be
admitted that Western Maryland is
going out Of its class to meet the
Marines. However, the Methodists
can rely upon practically all Of
their 1922 team and are looking
into the future with no small de-
gree Of hope. They will be salts
fled II they can make a good show
ing against the Gyrenes.
In addition to the varsity sched-
ule next year a schedule will be
arranged for the Freshman team
with such teams as Briarley Hall,
Gettysburg Academy and Frederick
High, the arrangement being to
have the Freshman play on the
home field on those dates when the
