By RALPH WAGNKR.
Tho bulldog aggressiveness of
"Billy” Wells, claimant of the English
welterweight championship, was too
much for the * scientific and clever
Frankie Schoell of Buffalo, and the
Englishman won tho verdict In their
3 0-round bout held at the auditorium
Friday night .
Wells was all over the Buffalo wri
ter from the start and had him dazed
toward the last with a tattoo of swift
punches that sent him back against
the ropes several times. In last
two frames Schoell found the travel
ing rough and it was all he could do
to stand on his pins.
English fighters as a rule are pret
ty boxers, but are sadly weak In the
art of infighting, but not so of this
lad. Billy Wells. The /Englishman
made Schoell break ground every
time they got together for infighting.
Wells frequently beat Frankie to the
punch ns the latter came thundering
in. and once inside the Buffalo wel
ter was at sea. Wells had a defense
for infighting that shed Schoell's
blows like a duck sheds water. When
in tight quarters Wells would slam
the Beuffalo welter unmercifully with
lefts and rights to the body -and head.
Schoell's vleverness showed to bel
ter advantage in the first and second
rounds, where things were even.
From the second on uhtil the fin
ish. Wells .piled up a lead that was
as wide as Farnarn street. The Eng
lishman. by his aggressiveness, clever
ness and wallops. won the third,
fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth
and 10th by large margins. The sixth
was even, hut it wouldn t have to be
stretched very far in order to give
K to Wells.
Schocll Retreats.
Wells was on top Schorll like a bull
(log from the third round on, and had
the Buffalo 1ml retreating under a
rain of blows. It was a different
Wells who fought in the ring last
night compared to the Wells who
fought Schlalfer. The Englishman 1
gave tho spectators an exhibition of
(lever boxing and lighting combined.
At times during the bout Wells i
would throw his defense to tlie winds,
but each tpne he tr.e.i this. Schooll
would send home a left. The Buffalo
welter managed to get in several good
blows during the contest, but wbne
seemed to interfere with the aggres
siveness of the Englishman. On tho
other hand. Wells' left and rights
found many landing pine s and as •.
Jesuit Frankie was a pretty tired boy
when the gong sounded for the con- ]
test to end.
There was no doubt in the minds of
the fans who won. The decision of
Referees "Curley" l'lriit/wns greeted
a lot better than previous ring dc- i
vision*.
First Round J-iven.
No sooner had the bell sounded for
(he bout to start than Schocll and j
Wells were slinging gloves at each i
other. There was no get acquainted 1
stuff. The Englishman landed a couple j
of good lefts and so did Frankie in the :
initial round, and thijigs were pretty j
even. The second was like the first,
with plenty of action.
Wells face was thoughtful as ho
came out for the third, lie kn*w h
tnust spurt, and he did, Not only did
lie score several times, but ones lie \
really shook the Buffalo boy with a
left hook that seemed to burn over ,
from nowhere. Well chasi d Bchoell
from one corner to the other and sent j
him against the ropes at the bell. Tho ,
purple started to trickle down Sehoella i
faco during the round.
The fourth and fIf: 11 were repeti
tions of the third, but tri tile sixth 1
Bchoell fought buck tooth uni nail,
while th" crowd went will. Bchoell
landed with a left and then cuniH tho
Wells rush. Frankie withstood tho
attack like a warrior he Is. Tin- I'rg
lishman sent over a right, followed
by a b fi hook, b it Fi inkicc was on
guard and the blows didn't do nun h
damage.
Well i On Top Sehoell.
Wells rallied again in tho eighth
and showered H<hooll with gloves from
nil angles; some i ime up from tho
canvas while others seemed to como
out of the ozone. It was a stormy
session for tho easterner, who, to
ward th« end of the round, t* ■ -• 1 like
n boat on a stormy km. Tho bell at
the end of this stanza must have been
sweet music to Brhoalln ears.
In tli« ninth it was ng-tln all Wells.
The Englishman chusc-1 Bchoell
around the ring filling his face full
of leather mittens .Some of the wick

were lost to the spectators, but they
were not wasted by Wills nor on
Bchoell.
These punches hurt and hurt deep.
Tljgy were* not enough of Hu nt to put
Frankie on the canvas, hut they made
his knees knock together before the
round closed.
Wells bounced out of his corner at
th* start of the 10th and rushed
Bchoell to the ropes where he drove
home a left that made Frankie think
lie was In a rocking chair. The gnnic
Bchoell tried to shoot over a left, but
WsIIm’ defense was working In good
order and the Buffalo tsiy's blows
were wasted.

McTigue Wins
Siki’s Crown
by Decision
By I uiwo.il Si'mIit.
Dublin. March 17.—Spurred on by
shouts of thousands of Irishmen filled
with the spirit nf St. Patrick day,
Mike McTigue. t'annda's lighting
Irishman, won the light-heavyweight
championship of the world tonight in
a 20-round decision bout with 1 tat t lit ■
Slki.'the Senegalese. s'
Every available Dit of space In the
Sea la theater was jarrtnied to see Mr
Tigue. fighting coolly, stop the wild
rushes #f’ the African who had won
his title from Georges Carpentler, the
French Idol.
In tlie 18th round the roof was al
most lifted with the roar of McTigue'*
sympathizers when it looked as
though the negro was about to be
knocked out. McTigue had caught
Slki with a powerful right on the chin
and the Senegalese began to paw tic
air wildly and show much white of
hi* eyes.
Irish With McTigue.
McTigue rushed in like a flash and
Siki reeled backward. Ho ripped
over two more rights and had the
negro groggy, hut Siki, shaking his
head like a spaniel to Hear his dizzy
brain, fell into a clinch and hung on.
When the bell sounded Hu* negro was
swinging as wildly and as willingly
as ever.
Threats of interference with the
fight by the crowd did not materialize,
ami the several hundred heavily
armed free, state policemen l}a<l noth
ing to do except yell with the rest of
tlie crowd when McTigue had the
Senegalese on the run.
McTigue hod the crowd with him
without exception and was given a
great ovation when the referee's de
cision was announced.
Hiki started the fight with a wild
rush and a volley of smashes with
both hands. It was evident from the
first that the negro wanted to end
things qul'kly with a knockout. Hut
McTigue was cool and easily evaded
the wild swings of the champio':
Negro Almost Out.
Tlie first Id rounds saw onlv wild
swinging by Hiki and clever boxing
by M' Tigue. who seemed bent on tir
ing out the negro. Neither was
much hurt when the bell sounded.
Blood flowed in the nth, Hiki rip
ping a cut on McTigue's head and
also bruising the Irishmans light
rye. This and the 12th round were
Hlki’s. Tlie rounds were slew then
until the 16th, w lien Hiki opened up
again and brought blood from Mo
Tigue* mouth.
In the 18th McTigue suddenly
started his rally that nearly put the
negro o it A terrific rizht to the
jaw put the ne-rro almost out. but
he saved hlmst-lf bv clinching. The
15th saw lsxth men cautious and rest
ing. The 2f>th opened w ith a rush
by both lighters and it was a xx U
round until the bell tang, both men
s winging with a vt ngeancs nnd put
ting up a mill worthy of St. Patrick
day In Ireland.

EW YOKK. March 17.
—F i g h t era, lighters,
everywhere and not a
jaw to sock, is the
probable refrain run
ning through the great
mind of Mr. J a c-k
Kearns as he sits in
his Broadway office
and counts the bmtons
on his vest for lack of something bet
ter to th Life, as far as the Kearns
Dempsey menus.- is concerned, has
become just one vanishing prospec.
after another.
The champion has not pullc 1 on a
glove, except for afternoon teas, since
that memorable occasion, almost two
years ago, when he collaborated w.th
Georges the Gorgeous in that $1,600,
000 extravaganza ir. Jusey City. From
present indications he will not do so
in the immediate future, popular yam
mering about Firpo, Gibbons and oth
ers to the contrary.
( rape Hanging.
The Dempsey-Firpo enterprise at
Buenos Aires was the last prospect
to evaporate Into thin air. The
worthy Mr. Kiekard put the crusher
oil tliat one when hr* declared that
lie held n year's option on the man
taler's activities. This, if true, meant
that Kickard would cut In on the
Bueno* Aires profits and Kearns will
have none of this. He hart an ample
sufficiency fit Ri< kard's cut-in tactics
at the Carpentier affair.
Kickard, of course, might indicate
a desire to promote the Dempsey Fir
po I tout in Argentina himself, in which
case Kearns would have no objection
provided the dollars were big, round
and American. Rickard's Interest in
an Argentine enterprise at this time
is unlikely, however. He seems to
teiieve honestly that Firpo is a pos
sible world's champion in the making
and he sees no particular reason why
he should arrange to have him
knocked off at this early date.
.Some Day—Maybe.
S-ime time Dempsey and Firpo may
team up for one or more of Rocke
feller's millions, provided nothing of
an unseemly nature happens to the
Argentine's jaw while Kickard is at
tempting to jockey him into position.
If that should happen, and the pros
pect is by no, means a vague one,
Kearns may have to fight Dempsey
himself.
