Boxing has gone through

Boxing has gone through SC much that there is a question oi what the sport will stand. It has exhibited in barns and on barget since it's inception,> and has been housed in the glittering amphithe- aters of the Golden Era that ended with Gene Tunney.
 It has hidden from the law on seQuestered farms. And now, pro- tected by legislation, of one sort or another, 1t has become what Il never was in those fugitive days an instrument to cheat the fans oi 8 fair deal.
 Now boxing has furnished one spectacle of a heavyweight cham. pion winning by sitting on the floor, and another of a man being handed the same title by an atro- cious decision. The characters ir both of these vaudeville sketches have been the same-Schmeltnl and Sharkey, and even now the way is being prepared for a third meeting of the two.
 The political influence that en- tered into both of these extrava- Ranzas is no secret with the fans who pay the bill.
 The no-foul rule was suspended for the first bout-and Schmeling won on a foul. The decision hand ed down in the second affair by which Sharkey became champion was unbelievable, nearly every newspaperman at the ringside scoring Schmeling as winner.
 In both cases the fans were bilked. ..+..

These factors have played a large part in it's downfall:
 Control of pugilistic plums and decisions by political influence.
 Intimidation by gorillas.

 Boxing commission rivalry that encourages intrigue among mana gers and promoters.

FOR Bic 'UNS

Get me McMilIen, Steele,
LOndOs or any other ranking
wrestler. 1 want tougher Op-
position"
Thus spoke Rude" Rudy
Dusek after he had hurdled the
second barrier in his wrestling
comeback" by dropping George
Vassell with a body slam after
81 minutes of graphing in the
feature bout of the weekly at
traction at the Washington Audi
torium with 5000 fans attending.
Dusek had Dragged he would
throw VaSSell but never imagined
the old-time star would give him
such stern opposition. 1t wasn't
until toward the end that Dusek
gained the upper hand. At that,
body slams and rocking chair
splits weakened Vassell and his
resistance had vanished.
The victory was pleasing TO
Rudy in more ways than one.
He avenged a previous defeat
handed hi mby Vassell. He can
now demand that Promoter
Turner get him matches with the
big shots" and lastly. he has
again won over the fans to him.
Rudy was warmly cheered as he
shuffled from the arena.
Ernie DuSek, lii brother OF
Rudy, won a smashing victory
over the durable Mil Steinborn,
the German succumbing to a
body slam after 10 minutes. Chief
White Feather, the venerable
Indian, and Abe Coleman went
80 minutes to a draw. Pat Nc
Kay polished off Floyd Marshall

PIN THRILLER

The duckpins took an unmerci-
full beating in the Temple Major
Duckpin League this week as
leaders toppled and two 400 sets
were registered.
Freemans All-Stars provided
the biggest thrill when they
twice downed Frank P. LozuponeS
each time by two pins, staging
a whirlwind rally to take the
first, and staving off last min
ute rush to take the final game.
R Street Delicatessen also felt
the sting of defeat as Rinaldi
Tailors led by Ollie Pacini with
a 413, a new loop mark, garnered
two games, to tie for the lead.
Pacini's games were 141, 148 and
1914.

league high game with a 162,

Stecher Gets Ideas

On one of his recent visits to
Washington, Stecher said to
Turner:
"I'm tired meeting these fel-
lows in the lower bracket of
wrestling. I want shot at
the big fellow. He won't fool
around his customary As min
utes with me. If he throws me.
it's got to be quick, because if
he doesn't, Pm gonna throw
him-provided I can get a
crack at him."
This put the bee to buzzing
in Turner's head and this week
he will sound out the venerable
Ed White, who says "yes" or
mo" to all challenges hurled
at Londos.
Stetcher's main weapon is
his famed body scissors, the
trap into which some of the
best have fallen, including
Zbyszko, from whom Stecher
won the title several years
back, after Mum had been de-
feated by that worthy.
So, do not be surprised to
see Stecher and Londos, right
here in Washington, anG if
this match does materialiEe, it
will be one which will attract
many an old-time mat fan as
well as the newer crop.

New Ring Title
To Chocolate
BY HYPE IGOE

NEW YORK, Oct. IA GN.SO.
The keed is champ. Synthetic or
symbolic, Keed Chocolate is never
theless the new featherweight
champion of the world as far as
the New York commission is con-
cerned.
He stopped Brave Lew Feldman
in 2:45 of the twelfth round in
Madison Square Garden last night,
Patsy Haley halting the fracas
when a deep cut loomed up on the
bridge of Feldman's nose.
Twas we'll that such a catas.
trophe overcame the New Yorker.
else he might have been as flat on
the floor as a sweep of gold leaf,
in a moment or two.
Chocolate had battered Feldman
so 1elentlessly in the ninth, tenth
and eleventh that it was a rore-
gone conclusion that he couldn't
have toddled much further.
Lewis bid for world title was
superb. He actually outfought
Chocolate on sheer grit in many
of the rounds, but in the end the
bonbon from Cuba overlook him
and then class told in tremendous
fashion.
Chocolate, now the possessor of
two titles. the feather and the ju-
nior lightweight crowns, fought
one of the best battles of his
career. He was seldom in real
trouble last night despite the fact
that Feldman rode him hard in
the earlier rounds.

that they will be plenty trouble

Of the championship in the
days before Londos assembled
to the relatively undisputed
throneship, and a sturdier,
more crafty exponent of the
art, never trod upon the llat.
While Lewis and others Of his
archaic ilk were satisfied to
depend upon brute strength,
Stecher has kept pace with
the gymnastics of modern
wrestling and combines power
and agility in his work. des-
pite the fact he is generally
classified as belonging to the
older school of wreStlers.
Just what Manager Ed White
will say to Turner's proposal
for Londos to wrestle Stecher,
even Joe doesn't profess to
know. But he has been jug.
Cling the idea in his head and
by now probably has ap-
preached White on the pro-
posed match.
Stecher has absolutely re-
fused to stay in the doldrums
of straight wrestling, despite
he is of that early era and as
the sport evolved to its present
status of sensationalism, Joe
mastered some of the new
quirks, and therefore has been
in great demand in the pre-
liminarieS.

TRADE WILSON,
IS RUMOR
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Every-
body seems to be just a little
evasive about it but the general
understanding is that Mr.. Hack
Wilson, who drew around $4,000
in Chicago for 1881 and $16,500
in Brooklyn for 1882, will be ex-
pected to draw a lot of conclu-
sions for 1888. Otherwise, he
may be asked to hit the side
walk, where the tagging is un-
responsive and one does not
bounce.
Hackamore, it seems, wasn't
an altogether satisfactory en-
ploye this year. Age crept up
unbidden, his step grew laggard,
his eye dim. And, even as before
when a youthful flush mantled
his handsome cheek, he pursued
his simple pleasures where and
when he might.
All, however, might have been
forgiven, if it wasn't for the
escapade of the socked reporter.
This, in many respects, was
repetition of the socked reporter
incident in Chicago last year,
wit hthe exception that the lat
ter lost somebody the sum of
$1,000, whereas the affair has
cost Mr.. Wilson nothing except
an apology and all he can lose
is his job.
1t happened in Pittsburgh dur
ing the last western trip,
very morose occasion. Everybody
took the Dodgers, so they did the
only thing left to them. They
took the trip. 1t was very dis
tressing to Hackamore. who
hadn't been able to bit an audi
BILE foul and was beginning to
brood darkly and at some length.
1t seems that he was out
brooding for hours one evening
when high words arose with
gentleman he didn't recog-
nize then and possibly wouldn't
now.
