To Even Battle
In Newark Ring

Welterweight champion Mickey Wal
ker, OF Elizabeth, and Phil Krug, Of
Harrison. battled to sensational
twelve-round draw in the Newark
Armory last night In the main bout Of
q show under the auspices Of the Ma
tional sportsmen's Club and the Broad
A. c. Although no title was at stake
the boys battled furiously throughout
FOR local supremacy, and IL was as even
as a bout could be.
Krug entered the ring weighing 154
pounds, which made the title safe for
Walker, no matter what the result, as
the welterwciRht limit is l47. Mickey
himself tipped the beam at 1881.
KruR battled fercely from the start
and got away 10 a big lead Walker
seemed lost in the early sessions, and
the Harrison boy had him groggy in
several periods. The champion, how
ever, came back in the last six sessions
and clearly earned draw. Walker
was actually furious in the closing
stanzas and bore in with rights and
lcfts. Mickcy's most effective blow In
this last-minute assault was body
blow which had disastrous effect on

fashion, shooting hard drives TO the
iaw and a number Of mean digs 20 the

Racing Opens Auspiciously.

The continued popularity of the
sport of horse racing was made evil
dent by the gathering at the Jamaica
course OF the Metropolitan Jockey
Club on Wednesday, when the Jockey
Club season was opened. There are
few things that Are the blood more
than contest in which an evenly
matched field of thoroughbreds strain
nerve and muscle to the utmost to
gain the victory. There are some
persons who contend that racing
without the stimulant of betting is
tame, but such critics are in the same
class as the man who goes into the
fields and sees none of the beauties
spread before him by nature.
1t is safe to say that a large pro-
portion of those who saw six horses
finish Tapped on each other in the
Paumonok Handicap on Wednesday
did not have a personal wager on the
race, yet the fury of the battle was so
inspiriting that every man and wom-
an in the assemblage was thrilled. Ad-
miration for good horse arouses the
enthusiasm of the most phlegmatic
when the tests of racing call for the
last ounce of speed and last atom of
nerve force.
The present racing season consists
of 154 days, of which the month of
August will be devoted to Saratoga.
This will carry the sport to the clos
ing days of October. All the best
horses will be seen in the searching
tests which are designed to disclose
the strength or weakness OF picked
thoroughbreds.
