Loses on Foul

Cincinnati Welter Hits Oppo

H OTHER it was

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

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

New York Giants Twenty-Five
Per Cent Stronger Than Last
Season, Says John J. McGraw
|{y JOHN J. MIGRAW.
Manager World's Champion Giants.
15W YORK Giants
the world’s cham
pions are all set
for the opening
of the National
l.eague cham
pion season of
1923. Wo get
our start in
Boston with
Christy Mathew
son's Braves,
April 17. It is
very appropriate
that such old
paJs get our send
off together. Still friendship ceases
n tile fleid of battle. Off it our pul
ship will he resumed and with re
newed ardor, for I am greatly pleased
that "Matty" is bark In the game that
he, by his masterful example, did so
much to uplift.
I consider my present team to be
15 per cent stronger then the one last
season. I say this advisedly and
with full confidence. A* my aggre
gation of 1922 won the world's series
of that year it might be imagined
that I am predicting they will repeat
for the third time in succession next
October. That does not necessarily
follow, however.
What if other teams have improved
in like percentage or even bigger?
That I have considered possible. Con
sequent!)- I refrain frutn claiming
anything for my team this season
other than that they will lie in the ,
National league race right up to
the last game and I hope from start i
to finish. That they will, I feel tea
nonably sure.
Believe me. I have no higher am
t-ition than to win threo world's ,
•ei.es In succession and I shall leave
nothing undone to reach that goal
I feel safe in saying too. that 1 shall :
have everyone of my players working
IS conscientiously na<l energetically !
is their manager in the accomplish
ment of smashing all world series
records by winning three in a row. I
| I will state that they are as fine
ns a fiddle right now on the eve of
I the championship season. Several of
them caught colds In the homeward
trip from the San Antonio training
camp, the weather being very change
able but none were seriously ill.
There were no disabling accidents
to set us back as was the case last
season. I have not moro than two
pitchers who could not go into the
"Big Show" if called on. Several of
tho ,pitching stAf have been slower
than others in rounding out but they
are not so very backward.
Of course I shall rely on mv older
pitchers who are In the best form
for some time to come. It has always
been my plan of campaign every
spring to get the jump on the other
fellows and I think I will this year.
Surely I never brought back a team
in any better shape to further my
plans.
1 will Have Arthur Nehf, Jack
Scott. Hugh McQuillan, Jess Barnes
and Claude Jonnnrd. Verenas, yes and
Virvll Barnes, all of whom I feel
confident will have winning records
to their credit. That will give me lime
to spend In the development of Karl
Webb. Clinton Blume. "Hefty" Wal
burg and I-ucas. I shall have until
June 15. this year, to get fully set
tled.
My Infield is going along splendid
ly. Henry Oroh was never better, lbs
sl| around play has been little short
of phenomenal. Frank Frisch, to.
who was h-st to me by accident for
nearly six weeks last spring, Is In
Treat physical form. While Bancroft
and Kelly are the same old standbys.
Ross Young Is hitting and fielding up
to his liest form, and "Irish" Muesel
is batting in his last season's timely
way. Jim O'Connell is showing Im
provement. I still have faith In his
ability to make good.
My catchers are In good condition
and form. 1 shall call Karl Smith
back to the regulars.

Milwaukee, Wis . 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.

merly called a "hitout," a "setup,"
a "sucker," a "bohunk." a pushover.”
All of these words mean a very

many slang words, it has no appar

Cline was a lightweight, at his

fought all the good men in his elass,
including Benny I/conard.
"Cline had a little notebook," says
"Jerry the fireek." After a fight he
would make eaiVfnl notes in the
book of everything he had seen of
his opponent, of his own mistakes.
He would study these notes con
