"I am a fighter and Malone a boxer. What could one expert. Every time I slugged with Jock he grabbed hold of me. He fouled me three times and It hurt, hut I didn’t go down only once, and that was because I had to." With tears coming to his eyes, the Englishman said that he always does his best and this was the first time he had ever been fined. He fought six times in Madison Square Garden, fighting Patty Flynn twice; Mike O’Keefe once; Al Slobby once and Abbott twice. He said he won riedsiseis In four boots and earned two draws. He Is scheduled to meet l.ew Bogash at the Garden late this month. 9 Ace Htidkins Wins Decision Over Jack CFToole— St. Paul Fighter Is Booed by Crow d. By "WAG.” .-4 I HE proposed 10 round main event bout between Jock Malone, St. Paul middleweight, and G e o r g 1 e West, English scrapper, • came to a sudden end after a min ute and a half of fighting in the fi nal round at the Auditorium Mon day night when Ueferee I.eo Shea stopped the bout and declared it no contest. It was an uninteresting scrap from the start. Malone, the clever boy, and West, the clumsy, awkward middle weight, failed to please the crowd. During the ninth and tenth rounds many fans left the Auditorium. Both fouled, hut neither was injured so that he was handicapped. The bout marred a good card of rights. Of the five bouts, two ended in knockouts, hut before the kayoes appeared on the horizon the fans were treated to some slam, hang, pick ’em - up - and-hit-'eni fighting. Mike Rozgall and Scliialfer were the leather pushers who put over the sleep producing punches on their opponents. Before the third preliminary started the fans were given an op portunity to witness a new wrinkle in deciding on main eventers. It was announced before the show that a coin would be tossed into the ozone to decide whether Schlaifer or Malone appeared in the main event. Ac cording to plans, Referee Shea flipped the coin into the air and It fell on the %lng floor. Then It was an nounced that Malone would appear In the main event. But the funny part of the whole thing was that no one said whether Schlaifer or Malone called heads or tails. Neither Malone or Schlaifcr's managers were present at the ringside. Shea just flipped the coin in the atmosphere and without uttering a word, the filthy lucre fell on the ring. It was then announced Malone was to fight last. It might have been a good thing had they not flipped the coin. Schlaifer and Harlem Jimmy Kelley put up a-better fight than the maln eventers, although the Coogan’s bluff battler faded out of the picture In the eighth round. Kelly, a short, chunky welter with a pretty smile and a pair of cauli flower ears, held the Omaha fighter more than on even terms during the first three rounds. Schlaifer’s weight was announced as 149 pounds, but he appeared to weigh about 150 or more. He was fat and didn't display the aggressiveness that has featured his previous scraps. Kelly nailed along in the flrat three rounds, scorning with his right. The New Yorker was handi capped by his sire and reach. Schlalfer had the advantage here. However. Kelly managed to con nect with his right in the second and third rounds enough times to make Schlalfer give ground. In the fourth Schlalfer turned the tide of battle and with a right cut Kelly’s lip. In the fifth Schlalfer hacked his little opponent against the ropes and with rights and lefts pounded Kelly hard. It was during this exchange of blows thst Morrie again injured his right hand. The sixth went to Kelly. He put up a good fight In this frame after taking a beating in two previous rounds. He had the best of the In fighting and scored three times with his right In midring. Schlalfer opened the seventh like he meant business, the first time during the fight. He closed Kelly’s eye with a left and cut his lip with s follow-up Wow. Morrie pounded the visitor hard In the kidneys and had the New Yorker wobbly at the bell. The blood was trickling down little Kelly’s swollen face and no smile came over Ills map as his seconds worked over him. To make things worse. Schlalfer opened the eighth by partly closing Kelly’s other eye. The Omahsn pounded his opponent from one side of the ring to the other. Occasionally Kelly fought back, hut he wae too busy guarding to display an offensive. He was thing from Sohlalfer’s body blows. With the round still young. Kelly moved out of one corner and waa headed for another when Schlalfer shot over his left. It caught Kelly flush on the Jaw and he started to reel as Schlalfer’s Injured right came FIGHT RESULTS. Jock Malone-Georgie West bout stopped In 10th by referee, de clared no contest. Morris Schlaifer knocked out Harlem Jimmy Kelly in eighth round of 10-ronnd bout. Ace Hudkins won referee’s de cision over Jack O'Toole end 10 rounds. “Rusty” Evans won four-round referee’s decision over Joe Hum phries. Mike Rozgall awarded technical knockout over Frank Vankat In second of four-round bout. L ._J Into play- Down flopped Harlem Jimmy kelly. He rolled over and tried to get up. Referee Shea holated Schlalfer'e hand up In token of «a technical knockout. Then raine the Malone-W’eet af fair. Malone had the heat of West by a mile. He outhoxed the Knelith man at every turn of the way. hut didn't hit hard enough In mime the John Hull any III effect*. The Ht. I’aul "uncrowned middleweight champion" won aix of the nine E HATE to recall this one, but Howard Wahl, who formerly played hall on the Omaha sand lota, could never get it off his mind. Possibly Carl Stangl, who Is the victim of this incident, probably never heard it before, so we will set it down and see what lie and the rest of tlie readers think of it. Several years ago the McCaffrey Motors, of which Wahl was at mem ber, played a game at Herman, Neb., against the ' town team that Carl played with. The grounds on which ths game was played had not been very well taken care of and the weeda were tall. Carl played renter field and could hardly be seen for the weeda. One of the McCaffrey players hit one pretty hard towards center field and the center fieidrr for the town team started in pursuit of the ball followed by several Missouri mules. .linimy Mirasky of the Motor men, eveiteo with glee over the hit his teammate had made, started yelling loudly,” which one is Stangl.” One of the teammates who Walil can’t recall, replied,” “The one with the longest ears.” Capahlanra Held to Draw. Xpw York. March 18.—Juse R. Cap ahlanca of Cuba, world’s chess cham pion, was held to a draw today by Edward Lasker of Chicago in the first match completed in the third round of the international chess masters’ tour nament. It was the third straight draw for the title holder. rounds and three were even. West was about as aggressive as Malone, but that’s all we ran say about him. He soeked -fork a couple of times after the commission warned the two fighters to fight, but these blows only caused a smile to come over Malone's map. Ace Hudkins won a referee’s deci sion over Jack O'Toole of Sioux City in 10 rounds. The Lincoln lightweight knocked O'Toole down in the fifth, the hell saving him from a knockout. Hudkins pounded O'Toole plenty dur ing the 10 frames, but the Sioux City battler showed a brand of gameness seldom seen in Omaha and managed to stick through the mill, although he was a badly beaten fighter, with face swollen and body red. O'Toole’s ability to take It and bore in for more seemed to please the 'crowd aad his gameness is not to be overlooked. He Is as game as they make ’em. In the first bout, Mike Kozgall won over Frank Vankat in the second round of a four-round mill by a tech nical knockout. He knocked Vankat down for a count of eight In the first round. "Rusty” Evans, York, Neb.; light weight, won Referee Ico Sliea’s de rision over Joe Humphries in fonr rounds. In the third round Evans knocked Humphries down and the bell saved the Oinahan. In the fourth Humphries went down twice, hut managed to weather the storm. Evans showed plenty of good box ing ability and has a good defense, but he has yet to learn how to hit.

La., where the Omaha Buffaloes are going through their spring training grind indicate that the two reliables. Harry I-es and "Bill” Bailey, southpaws, have found the southern climate to their liking. Sunday these two port-aiders, hurled the Buffaloes to a 6 te 0 victory over the Shreveport Gass ers. Shutout victories In spring training games are not very com mon and the fact that both Leo and Bailey didn't get into condition until the later part of the 1923 sea son speaks sort of well of these former Texas leaguers lor 19*4. Owner Burch Is counting on Les and Bailey to carry ths brunt of pitching this season. The majority of Western league clubs last year were weak on southpaw pitching and as the lineups of the teams are not changed much for the 3924 campaign, both Lee and Bailey should turn In many victories for the herd. Burch, In our oplnon, should not rely full force on l>ee and Bailey. Neither are very strong physically and are the type of hurlers who need plenty of rest between games. However, llie owner of the Buf faloes has a good nucleus around which to build a good pitching staff with Bsiley and Lee In good condi tion. The Buffaloes didn’t get good pitch ing until it was too late last year. Burch should sea to It that tha club gets ths pitching from the start this season. Best Thing to Happen for Sehlalfer. □ORRIE SCHIjAIFER, fresh from his victory over Harlem Jlinmle Kelly of New York, leaves to day for Youngstown, O., where on Wednesday, March 26. he meets Paul Doyla In a return bout. He bent Hoyle here, but fighting sway from home and the "home boys” may have some kind of sn effect on Schlalfer's bout with Hoyle. Front Youngstown, the Schlalfer party will go to ('hlragn, where he Is scheduled for a bout with Johnny Karr, March 31. The object of these bouts Is to gradually work up a fight with Mickey Walker, the king pin of the welterweights. Going east to display his fistic marcs la the heat thing Schlalfer could do, that Is. If he wants to stay In the fighting gnme. Remaining at, home and knocking over this fellow nml that guy wouldn't Spell anything In the end for Omaha's lending welter weight. In New York City, we venture to say that Schlalfer is unknown. Of course, there might ho a few fislle fans, you find ’em everywhere, who, know fighters, where they eonie from and their records, but the rninmunlty ns n whole probably never heard of the Omaha fighter. Going east and luiildiiu; up a repu tation would remedy this to a cer tain extent. Schlalfer, fighting as lie does at the Auditorium, would soon build up a reputation among thn eastern fight fans good enough to pul hint in the | spotlight Reinstatement of Paddock Closes Bitter War Among Athletic Bodies Hy Awcl«*ed EW YORK, Marcn IS—Rein state ment of Charles W. Paddock, sen sational California sprinter, has closed a bitter war among ath letic governing or ganizations. For nearly a year the stocky western flyer haa been the i storm center of a controversy, but factional Interests have been sub merged in the common chum of Olyni pic preparations for 1>24. Differences existing for some time between the A. A. U„ American track and field governing body, and Inter ests represented by the National Col legiate Athletic association were brought to a climax last May when Paddock, defying a dictum of the A. A.

"1 am glad the matter has at last been satisfactorily settled." said Paddock regarding Ids reinstate ment. “Whatever impression of ar bitrary action that A. A.

WILL QUIT RING LEAVES WILLS IN LINE FOR BOUT WITH DEMPSEY _ 5 Tiajuana or Montreal Only Towns Eligible to Stage Championship Go, Says Walsh. _ By DAVIS J. WALSH, EW YORK, March 18.— Announcerncnt from Buenos Alrea that Luis Kirpo, the well known human being, intends to retire from affairs fistic after the A1 Reich push over, April 5, furnishes a monumental opportu nity to Harry Wills and some enterprising com munity beyond the bor ders of this country. With Kirpo out, Wills is the only attraction within Dempsey’s vision for a heavy weight championship jig-step, but the transaction cannot and will not take place in the United States. Tiajuana or Montreal might team up with the affair with a little pro gressive initiative and a few pro gressive dollars. A Ilempsey-Wills bout would make money anywhere. Tiajuana once attempted a few ges tures in that direction, but Jim Coffroth abandoned the idea because the boys were afraid that James was weary with money and wanted to help him carry the load. He could drive a keener bargain now. Dempsey has no one to turn to except Wills, if he wants to get the big money. Tom Gibbons is entitled to another fling at the title after staying 15 rounds at Shelby, but a Gibbons-Dempsey attraction would not drive the customers into hysterics. They know that Tom hardly has a white man's chance with the cham pion and can see no reason why they should pay heavily for what enter tainment there may be in such a pro gram. Kirpo may exercise the gentle man's privilege of changing his mind, but it lias been the writer’s information for some weeks that I.uis has no distinct hankering for another wallop on the Jaw from Dempsey. The Latin, however, is extremely interested in money and the soft clink of falling gold may in tlie end lure him on to rash activities. He says he Is tired of the game. We don't doubj it, for Luis, like Willard, does not fight for love or hate or excitement. He has one eye on the box office and the other on hia opponent. He says he has plenty of money. We don’t doubt that eith er. The point is that he may decide later that plenty is far from enough. They generally do. But if he does make good his threat (here is no real money in this world for Dempsey except in collaboration with his old friend. Wills. Gibbons would give him an interesting after noon, physically, but not financially. Jack Renault would do neither. Step out. Tlajuana. Now ia your chance.
