H OTHER it was i h e well ■ known Friday, the 13th jinx" or just plain I 1 ti t ention t h at c a used "B i 11 y” I Kyan to foul "KUl” Schlaifer in the third round of tlielr 10 • round bout at the Audi torium last night, remains to be de- | t ided, but there Is | no getting round the fact that the Omaha welter was j on the receiving end of three awful foul blows. For this act. the state boxing commission held a meeting imme diately following (lie bout, sus|icnd ed Mister Kyan for a period of six months and decided to give his purse, which amounts to $1,000 to charily. Kyan, his manager, Eddie Slicv lin. Commissioners Doyle, Kavan, Hopkins, Kilmartin and Dr. ‘Map" Tamisiea attended meeting together with Secretary Antic* of the stale welfare board. The Cincinnati boxer frartured his right hand in tile second round and was attended by Dr. Tamisiea immediately after the bout. The bout, which was down on the program of the Spanlsh-Ameriean War Veterans’ show as the main event, was a slow affair until the third round, when all of a sudden, like a bolt of lightning out of a clear sky, ! Ryan shot over three righthand blows that landed below the belt. The first time this happened the Cincinnati boxer was cautioned by Referee Ul rich, the second time the mix was \teld up for a short time, while the third foul cost Ryan the fight. Hits Good Record. Just what caused the Cincinnati visitor to strike low, is a question. Ryan has been fighting since 1915 and I,as met all the topnotchera in the wel ter ranks. Not once has he fouled an opponent. To our eyes — and we were at the ringsidt—the final foul blow executed by Ryan, was for a pur- \ pose. It came after Schlaifer and ; Ryan came out of a tight mix on the ropes and the ‘ Kid” cracked his op ponent a stiff jolt on the Jaw. Until the third round the bout was slow. In tho first round both fought cautiously. Just before the b< 11 for round one Ryan shot over three good lefts. One of these lefts hit the ’ Kid” in the pit of the stomach, while the remaining two caught Schlalfer on the eye. The second round was about even. Behlaifer got in a couple of good blows on Ryan's jaw. The Buckeye kept ■•playing" for Sehialfer’s stomach. It was in this round that Referee T lrlch warned both fighters. Several blows were landed In this round and sev eral were stopped before they had been spent. Just before the start of the fatal round, Ulrich again warned both fighters, instructing them to fight. The Instructions from the third man In the ring seemed to take effect, for it was in this round that the spec tatora were treated to some real ac tion. I,amis With I.eft. Jlyan utartad the atanssa. by landing in the stomach ami sticking Ids lefl Into Schlaifer'a already half dosed glimmer. Sj< hlnlfer then connected with a left ok Ryan's jaw that shook the < 'IncinnatlSjtKhter from his head to feet. Following this Mow of Kchlalfer’s came Ryan's find foul, fte was warned. Then again he fouled. Ills right hit Kchlalfer’s pro tector and It was this blow that free- ' tured Ryan’S right hand. After the second foul Referee 1T1 rich stopped the tight. Schlaifer was Instructed to go and bo examined. Ryan crawled out of the ring. When | Schlsifer refused to quit, tho bout was resumed. More fireworks. Itynn rushed Bchlatfcr to the ropes, landing i lefts to tho stomach and Jaw. The "Kid" came off the ropes sort of i wobbly, but game as he is, stuck up ' his dukes and started milling, much to tin, surprise of Rian, Schlaifer then planted his left on j Ryan’s Jaw. This blow made the easterner Mink his eyes. It was a clean, straight left from Hehllefer's •boulder. What followed is history. Ryan rushed (lie "Kid" wjtli his night, fouled ths Omaha welter and lost the match. Was leading Sdilalfer. ft. might tie said ”^pht here that Ryan did not have any cause to hit low, If he did It intentionally or not. lie was leading his opponent and his left found no difficulty in pecking away at Sehlaifer's eye. Sehlaifer's a lough guy and can lake a good heat lag. Perhaps Ryan became disgusted when he saw •Schlatter stand up UUf'er his blows. In the semi-windup, Connie Curry, clever little bantamweight from Sioux City, won a 19-round referee's decision over the veteran, Karl Pur tear of Omaha. The Sioux City fighter copped the first four rounds by pretty good margin. His left and rights found any a landing, place and his fast ajtwork made the ''Gentleman” of the ring miss quite often. In the second round, Curry dropped Puryear to his knees for a short count. Again in the ninth Curry had his opponent in a had way, hut the veteran was able to weather the storm. Puryear's best round came in the seventh when he got In some good body blows. The Iowa bantam showed best out in the open, while Puryear worked best in close quar ters. Howard Beats Gartin. As a,rough and tumble fighter Ted Gartin. Lincoln welterweight, no doubt is a past master, but in the Marquis of Queensbury s 24 foot do main he isn't near so good. "Kid” ■ Howard of the same stable as Ryan, was awarded the decision over him. Gartin had the edge on Howard all the way, and In the second and third rounds had him on the canvas taking the count. Gartin hit coming out of the breaks and used his mitt in the clinches in a manner that is objectionable to lov ers of clean sport. It was his tactics, ' undoubtedly, that caused Howard to be awarded the verdict. ‘‘Bad News” Murphy, fighting his first professional fight, won the de cision over "Red” Dice In the four round opener, which proved a side splitting comedy. Paddock Mav Return to ('oast Txts Angeles. April 14.—Charles \V. j Paddock, world's champion sprinter j of the University of Southern Caii- i fornia, will not run in the Interna- | Uonal intercollegiate track and field championships at the University of Paris, May 1 to 6, if the recent ruling j of the American branch of the Inter national Athletic federation is not | reversed, according to Robert S. Weaver, formerly president of the Amateur Athletic union, present presl- ; dent of the Southern Pacific associa tion of the A. A. U. Paddock is on the way to New j York, whore he planned to embark ! for France. It Is said be will return to the Pacific coast immediately if he is refused permission to compete in the meet at Paris. “It is an International athletic fed eration ruling that a foreigner can not compete without the sanction of officials of his own country,” said Weaver. “Paddock can go to Paris If he likes, hut if the Jfrenclt allow him to run, they will be breaking the ruling, which I do not believe they will do. “I have noticed that Paddock has said he will throw his shoes In the Seine after running at Paris. I think this is a mistake. His country will need him in the Olympic games next year, and he should consider it his duty to represent the United States at that time. “It would be a great, honor for him to win the 100 meter race in two Olympiads.'' i Ro|mt Wants Bout. < 'hlcago, April 14 -Captain Hob I topi-r w ants tc» mc**t Tom Gibbon* m tit#* American Legion boxing show if Shelliv.

Murphy, winner of last year's clas sic in the world's record breaking average speed of 94 48 miles an hour, is nominated to pilot a Durant, al though there has been some rumor that he will leave the Durant fold and go it ns a lone wolf. However. It appears now as though the Irish son of speed would remain under the banner of Cliff Durant, millionaire sportsman, who has entered four oars in the Indianapolis race. • From a standpoint of dollars grab bed at the finish wire of racing events Murphy has unquestionably been the outstanding figure in motoc dom.

April 14.—The 1923 tournament of the American Bowling congress was the greatest Hassle in the tenpin world, both in the number of bowlers competing and in the record-breaking scores hung up. The monotonous regularity with which m*w records wore made has caused many fans to ask for the un derlying reasons. Was* the equipment used in this tournament better than formerly? Is there such a thing as a lively hall in l*>wling as well as in haBehall, or are our bowlers getting better and better day bv day? W. M. “Billy" la-e. bowling expert for the Bcunswicke-Balke < ollender company, stated that it was his belief atmospheric conditions were respon sible for the high scores. “All through the tournament." said Mr Lee, "the weather was cold and dry and an even temperature prevail ed at all times in the auditorium where the alleys were laid. Condi tions were letter during this tourna ment than at any which 1 ever attend ed. and with such a large number competing I was surprised that more new records wire not hung up for future generations to shoot at." It is predicted that the 1924 tourna ment. which w ill be held in Chicago, will l*e featured by many record* t.nuking performances, especially if the weather conditions are as favor able as they ware in Milwaukee. Near ly 10.000 bowlers competed in that tournament and officers of the con gross are confident that the entry list for .text year will pass 15,000.
