Kid Larigne's
Memoirs of
a Sdrdge
Ring
BY GEORGE KID) LAVIGNE,

Former lightweight champion Of the world
whose many victories included two over
Joe WalcOtt and one over Englands
famous champion, Dick Burge.
(AS TOLD TO Il. p. RUCKER)
Y WENT to New Orleans in De-
cember, 1894, to meet Andy Bow
en-. a mulatto, one of the tough :
4 est lightweights in tho country
and a fine fellow personally.
Andy had beaten his fellow towns
man. Jack Everhardt, a few months
before in a desperate struggle that
lasted IS rounds. He also had en-
gagged in the longest fight on record
when he and Jack Burke fought 110
rounds & hours and 10 minutes).
That historic event took place at
New Orleans, April 6, 1898.
Bowen was a terror to the light
weights and most of them were side
stepping him. He was trained for
his fight with me by no less an ex-
pert than the original Jack Dempsey
a master of1ring science.
But poor Andy wasn't able to use
much science against me. l set TOO
fast a pace. From the first tap or
the bell was on top OF him with
out a seconds pause.
Bowen had, three famous old-timers
in his corner, australian Billy Nc
Carthy, Billy Layton and Al Spitz-
fadden. My seconds were Sam F1tZ-
patrick and Jim Hall. The referee
was John Duffy. who had refereed the
Sullivan Corbett battle.
Orders His Own Death.
Andy Bowen was responsible for his
own death. He insisted that all pad
ding be taken from under the ring
canvas. He complained that it made
the footing slow. The ring floor was
Of cypress. hard as oak. Over this
hard surface we fought with nothing
covering it but canvas.
Press reports gave the first two
rounds to Bowen. He certainly socked
me some mean wallops in those ses-
sions. But by the third round l had
the range and from then on until the
end / gave him one-sided whaling.
The fight should have been stopped
long before it's finish, for Andy was
repeatedly groggy and almost blind.
Bowen was game, however, and
fought back desperately. Both Of us
bled freely. but never was in trouble.

| ring floor to wash up the blood.

rounds, Have 'em throw little resin

excited to do anything.

H ALIAS. Tex, December T.
Recommendation for revision
of rules governing player
- deals and a suggestion for re.
classification of minor circuits
today occupied delegates to the con-
vention of the National Association Of
professional Base Ball Leagues here.
The recommendation were ad.
vanced at the initial session of the
convention yesterday by President
Mike II. Sexton, who also criticized
activities of major leagues.
President Sexton found that after
seven years of operation the ma ior-
minor agreement caused more or less
widespread complaint from both par
| ties. He urged an effort be made to
| eliminate Objectionable features before
an open rupture resulted.
The agreement provides that the
minor leagues recognize the office of
commissioner as created by the ma jOr
| leagues and submit themselves to his
| jurisdiction. The agreement also pro-
| vides a schedule for promotion and
selection of players, ranging from
| 81 900 for class d to S. 900 for class
AA.
In his criticism of major league
scouting activities, Mr.. Sexton de.
clared the present indisCriminate and
| far-reaching signing of young players
had proved a serious handicap to the
minors. He said he believed the
source of supply. from colleges and
sandlots, would be destroyed unless
some sort of protective measures were
adopted.
| He urged minor leagues to adopt
new classifcations on the basis of the
Federal census in 1880. He believed
this would prove an important factor
in keeping down expenses. He also
suggested new classification, class
L, for all lesser leagues, with several
of the class ID leagues dropping to that
level. He proposed to prohibit al
circuits below class B from the use
| of option YNlat-prS
