About Fights
and Fighters
BY LEO III. LASSEN

CAPABLE seconds some
- times make a fighter,
while poor handlers can do
much to ruin good ring men,
During the heat of the bat
tie in the squared circle,
many fighters are apt to lose
their heads and overlook
openings or fail TO use the
right defensive tactics that a
cool boxing judge, in his cor
ner. can tell him between
rounds or yell to him during
the fight itself.
One of the greatest sec
onds that ever went in Il
fighters corner was Spider
Kelly, the famous Californian.
A good fighter himself, Kelly
knew all of the angles Of the
glove game. and he had plen-
ty of nerve.
Bert McCloud. manager OF Gene
clinA California welterweighi. says
that Kelly forgot more than tho
average se,ond ever knows about
handling fighter in the ring. and
the nerviest OF seeonding ever done
any place found Kelly in tho lead
ing role.
IL was In san Francisco some 10
years ago when Oakland Frankie
Burns was fighting one-Round
Hogan. Kelly was in Hogan's
corner. and when Burns floored
Hogan in the sixth round. Kelly
jumped into the ring with a big
sponge. threw cold water on the
unconscious fighter. shook him. and
when he snapped out OF It Kelly
jumped out OF the ring and Hogan
started fighting again.
1t all happened so quickly that
Kelly got away with Il and the
most surprised fellow in the house
was the Referee Jim Griffen, one
of the most famous OF California g
osstime officials.
Hogan was eventually knocked
ont. but Keliy's nerve put over this
classic OF secondIng.

REBEL BATTLESHIP
REACHES URUGUAY

Monevideo, Uruguay, Nov. 10
The Brazilian battleship Sac Paulo,
whose crew 'mutinied last Tuesday
and sailed the vessel out to sea from
Rio Janeiro harbor, arrived here to
day and anchored In the roads. She
was boarded by the Uruguayan au
thorities.
The battleship did not show any
exterior signs of damage from the
shells with which, according to OF
ficial accounts, she was hit when the
Rio Janeiro forts attempted to pre-
vent her flight.
When the Uruguayan pilot boarded
the battleship early this morning
about so miles from the coast ne
found her steaming slowly. cleared for
action. She was flying the Brazilian
flag, but lowered it as soon as the
pilot took charge. It was estimated
that the pursuing Brazilian fleet was
about 200 miles behind.
