Hunt Club Presents Hot Heavy Battle Fight Critics Hit Scoring System
Vote Ross Most
Popular Fighter

DARNEY ROSS has been voted
- the most popular fighter of all
classes who performed during
1894.
Barney's astounding victories over
Tony Canzoneri and Billy Petrolle
established his right to be classed
among the best lightweights of the
game.
He went further than this when
he outpaced and won the welter-
weight crown from Jimmy McLar-
min and fought the latter a close
fight in return meeting. Barney
lost the title but he stood toe to
toe with the hardest hitter the
l47-pound class has produced in
some time.

Referee Held Enough.

ETTING back to the rules, as or
" dered by various boxing COM
missions, 1t is well to advocate
the abolition Of judges and place the
responsibility on the one man who is
in position to know what goes on at
close quarters. Leave the decision to
the referee. Nothing could be fairer.
1t was the rule from the inception of
boxing and worked out we'll until
somebody took notion to have three
men.
Considering the way our fighters
tug and maui in close, a third man
Is necessary to part them and make
them fight. This was proved when
Referee Kid Mcfarland, obeying a
new rule mot to lay hands on the
principals" since rescinded, permitted
one fighter to grab and hold through
out the best part Of 10 rounds. Ad-
mirerS of the fighter who was cheated
out of a possible knockout nearly
mobbed Mcfarland because he did
not separate the contestants.
In England the referee sits outside
the ring. He merely cautions an Of
Tending boxer for holding. Two such
warnings result in disqualification. and
so far no one has found fault with
that system. The British system of
scoring is somewhat different from
the systems employed over here They
go in for fractions. Willie Ritchie
lost his lightweight title to Freddie
Welsh by half point. Just try that
over here.

IS SEEN
AS P|T|FUL FIGURE
BeIabored by Youths Who
Formerly Couldn't Have
MuSSed His Hair.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

IN
nj Tommy Loughran is in far
| Y off South America, gathering
what few purses man of his
former greatness can command.
Tommy has had to fight big fel-
lows who know little, but swing them
from the floor, and If you ask any
good boxer he will tell you that type
is the most dangerous to fight.
1t would not be surprising If a cable
dispatch conveys the news that
round-house haymaker settled on
Toms chin and put him down for
the count. Tommy is not as spry as
he used to be. and he must perforce
absorb q certain amount Of punish
ment as he goes along.
Loughran will not hang up his
gloves. He persists in the thought
that his superior knowledge of the
fine points is suficient to pull him
through.
It Is a pity to see him, a shadow
OF his old self, belabored by youths
who could not touch him with a
handful Of gloves when he was in
his prime.

Police and Girls Scrap.

TINE police broke up the match and
arrested one of the combatants.
Although she was endowed with
the nimbleness Of bird, they Sc
cured and Gagged her. The other, by
some secret means, made her escape"
On June S, 1895, the Sporting Mag
azine records:
"A most severe pugilistic contest en-
sued between two heroic females, Mary
Ann Fielding of Whitechapel and a
noted Jewess of wentworth street, in
a large field near the New Road for
two guineas a side. The battle began
soon after the necessary arrangements
and was continued for some time with
great intrepidity, each exhibiting
many maneuvres relating to the art
of boxing
after much alternate dexterity the
scene changed in favor of Fielding,
who fought with great GOODNESS and
knocked down her adversary not less
than 10 times This battle lasted l
hour and 20 minutes when victory was
declared in favor of Fielding"
Mendoza Daniel Mendoza, at that
time the champion of EnglanO was
second to the Jewess and jackson
(also a prominent fighter to Field
Ing, and they had two of their own
sex as bottle holders A vast con-
course of people assembled to see this
rare and unrivaled circumstance.
In July, 1900, the Sporting Maga-
zine reports: "A very severe and scien-
tific set-to took place a few evenings
since in the coffee room of the opera
house between rival queens of the
fruit basket who disputed about the
excellence of a bottle of Grafton
cherries, and agreed, after many flow
cry arguments on both sides, to box
it out for two guineas. A ring i'm
mediately was formed and the fair
champs fought a considerable time
with such dubious success that it was
at length agreed to make drawn
battle and spend the money in jolli-
fication. Too much praise cannot be
given to Sully, who acted as umpire,
for his impartiality. nor can we with
hold our commendation from Mrs.
Crouch who arrived just in time to
be bottle holder and who executed her
part with such spirit as to appear
quite at home"

Girls Get Really Rough.

: A ND a few months later the maga-
n zine records: "A very severe and
scientific set-to lately took place
in the Broadway near st. Clements
Church between two of the fair in
habitants Of the softer sex. After
a contest of 10 minutes one of the
Amazons thought proper to give in
and the conqueress behaved so gen.
erouSly on the occasion that she not
only exchanged fists in token of
amity, but treated in very handsome
libation of that fashionable liquor
called flashes of lightning"
The Sporting Magazine quoted from
a Dublin paper: Yesterday morning
two of the fair sex in the occupation
of carrying baskets had a misunder-
standing in Pill lane. opposite the
fish market. They engaged in twink
ling, beak and claws. One of them
bit piece completely out Of the cheek
of her antagonist, while the other re-
turned the compliment by tearing out
an eye Of her devourer."
Girls fought and were fought for.

Outsiders Believe Kidnap
Victim Dead: Gone
Sixteen Days.

BIZ United Pres
ST. PAUL, Feb. 2.-Outsiders to-
day believed that Edward G. Brem-
er. St. Paul banker kidnapped six
teen days ago. probably is dead. but
the Bremen family still expressed
hope in spite Of its firm denials that
word had been received since the
day Of the kidnapping.
Adolph Bremen. father Of the VIC
tim and friend of President Roose-
welt, has maintained consistently
that no messages from the kidnap-
ers have been received since the first
note demanding $500 600 ransom. In
the face Of a sixteen-day silence,
however, the 73-year-old man has
assumed a Spartan-like calm, in
contrast TO the evident nervous
strain of the first few days.
Police. Outwardly at least, have
refrained from intervening in the
case, as requested by the father.
The Vern Sankey case caused an
exodus of federal agents to Chicago,
which. the family hoped. would en-
courage the kidnapc-s to reopen
negotiations.
