RANKS COUNTED
OUT DURING '18
Grim Reaper Exacts Heavy
Toll from Pugilistic Frater
nity, Including Sullivan
and Mitchell.
New Dec. IS. Within the
memory of the oldest sport follow
ers there lias never been another
year when so many prominent mem-
I lers of the pugilistic fraternity took
l . . :.. .u. .. .
iiuai luiim 4 3 in ine year now
drawing to a close. Former cham
pions and near champions, active
ringsters in all divisions, together
with numerous managers, veteran
trainers and others prominently
identified with the game have been
included among the victims of the
Grim Reaper during the past twelve
months.
At the head of the list stands the
name of John L. Sullivan, the former
champion pugilist of America and
"the greatest tighter of them all."
who passed away suddenly at his
home at West Abington, Mass., on
February 3. Until an autumn day
26 years ago, when Jim Corbett put
him down and out at New Orleans
in 21 rounds, Sullivan had the repu
tation of being the world's greatest
fighter. That was his last battle. He
never made any effort to regain the
lost laurels, the crown he had de
fended so successfully against all
comers for many years. When his
career as a ringman ended he took
to the footlights, where he was no
stranger, because back in those great
ring days he had his own companies
and toured the world, reaping tre
mendous financial returns.
Manager Dies Too.
A few weeks after the demise of
Sullivan saw the passing of "Billy"
Madden, who had been Sullivan's
manager when the latter won the
championship. Madden, in addition
to having managed Sullivan, also
handled Jack McAulifi'e and Jack
Dempsey.
In the early part of April Charley
Mitchell, former English middle
weight champion, died at Brighton,
England. Mitchell's most famous
fight was with John L. Sullivan, at
Chantilly. France, March 10. 1888.
He held the famous American heavy
weight to a draw in 39 rounds. Five
years later Mitchell was knocked out
by Corbett in three rounds.
Terry McGovern, former world's
Featherweight champion, died in
Brooklyn on February 22, after a
brief illness. McGovern was one of
the most popular fighters of his day.
As a bantamweight he was supreme
for several years, and in 1899 won
the undisputed world's title by
knocking out Fedlar Palmer, the
English champion. In the next two
years he twice beat George Dixon,
the greatest of the negro feather
weights, and won from Kid Broad,
Eddie Santry and Frank Erne. The
career of McGovern as champion
was brought to an abrupt end in 1901
by Young Corbett at Hartford,
Conn.
"The Marine."
George LaBlanche, "The Marine,"
and one of the greatest middle
weights that ever lived, passed away
in the city hospital at Lawrence,

Blanche defeated some of the great

known. His greatest feat was in
San Francisco, August 27; 1889.
when he knocked out Jack Demp
sey. "The Nonpareil," in 32 rounds.
Jim Stewart of Brooklyn, who at
one time was considered a likely
candidate for the heavyweight hon
ors, died of pneumonia at Camp Dix
on September 26.

lightweight who in his day had met
nearly all of the best fighters in his
division, died at his home in

world for a few months in the early

"FIGHT NIGHT"
AT FORT OMAHA
FOR CIVILIANS
Army Boxing Bouts at Fori
Omaha Monday Open to
Civilians and Real
Fights Guaranteed.
"All work and no play makes
poor soldiers," said Lieutenant
McKay of Fort Omaha in announc
ing a boxing and wrestling carnival
for the fort next Monday night. The
entertainment has been designated
"Fight Night" by the soldiers at
the fort and an invitation is ex
tended to all followers of the
squared arena. Admission prices
will be $2 for ringside seat and $1
general admission.
"The men at the fort are fighters,"
said the lieutenant. "They enlisted
to see fighting and as there ap
pears to be small chance of going
overseas we must entertain them
here. They are red blooded Ameri
cans and cannot be satisfied spend
ing the'r leisure hours playing
"authors" or "tiddle-de-winks."
Roommates will not be allowed to
participate and every bout will be
a good one."
The balloon men at the fort are
enthusiastic over the outlined pro
gram and the various companies
are backing their candidates in a
lively manner. The bouts will all
be under the regulations of the War
Department Commission on Train
ig Camp Activities.
Build Ring in Garage.
A ring has been builti n the garage
with circus seats in order to ac
commodate all spectators. The
Knights of Columbus hut at the
fort was found too small to accom
modate the crowds of soldiers when
no civilians were allowed.
The receipts will all go to the
recreation fund with the exception
of the money awarded the contes
tants as prizes. The entertainment
will not start until 8:30 o'clock in
order to allow civilians to reach the
fort from the city.
All bouts will be to a decision.
The glove contests being on a gov
ernment reservation will not come
under the ban of the state law pro
hibiting boxing.
The semi-final on the program
will be a four round decision contest
between two fast welterweights, Kid
Henderson and Santiago Montoya.
Henderson is a new man at the
fort but reputed to be a comer. He
weighs in at 145 pounds. He is ama
teur champion of Montana and has
won many of his bouts by K. O.
route. He is a great favorite of the
miners in Butte, Mont., where he
fought most of his battles.
His opponent was welterweight
champ of Kelly field where he was
known as Knockout Montaya. He
is a Mexican with lots of speed and
dash and a hard clean hitter.
Lightweights Go Six Rounds.
The final will be between Battling
Kirby and Kid King. It will be a
six round decision contest.
Kirby went ten rounds with Tom
Murphy to a draw. He was cham
pion of the 135 pounders in the
Canadian army winning his laurels
over the ten-round-route from all
members of the sport battalion. He
has medals to prove his title In
Canada. He went six rounds with
Pat O'Brien, a fast Detroit man. His
bout with Wishnefsky of Winnipeg
was stopped in the second round as
knockouts were not allowed. Hard,
fast, snappy hitting features his ap
pearance in the ring.
Kid King is a fast and hard hitting
army man. He is a dark horse at
the fort but has a coterie of backers
who have seen him work out, that
are certain of his victory. He says
he can beat Kirby and the opinion
is confirmed by his friends.
Scandrett, a strong armed North
Dakotan, will wrestle with Stensbol,
the South Dakota champ. Both
men are lightweights and fast in
the ring. Scandrett went an hour
and a half with Farmer Burns and
threw Casper Brugger two falls in
seven minutes. He was college
champion and wrestled on the col
lege team six vears.
Stensbol won the championship
of South Dakota by throwing the
former champion two falls in two
hours and twenty-one minutes.

GRAIN MARKET
Omaha. December 18, 1918.
Receipts today continued substantial for
wheat and corn and were moderate fur
oats. Arrivals were 126 cars of wheat,
77 cars of corn, 41 cars of oats, 9 cars
of rye and 14 cars of barley. There was
a very good demand for corn today, prices
ranging from 1 to 3 cents higher. The
bulk of th" samples were In the good
grades as they have been generally this
fall. Offerings of the new crop are of
very good quality, while last year the
presence of damaged kernels and high
moisture content brought a great deal In
the off grades.
Oats were He to o higher, the No.
3 white selling at the extreme advance.
Rye was 2 cents up and barley 2o higher
to 1c lower. Wheat continued unchanged.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, Dec. 18. Corn averaged higher
in price today, chiefly owing to weather
conditions unfavorable to the crop move
ment. The close was steady at the same
as yesterday's finish to ltyc up, with
January $1,36 to 1.361 and May $1,351,
to 1.3S Oats finished unchanged to
c cff. and provisions varying from 45c
declino to 66c advance.
Trade In corn was mainly local and
prices fluctuated often, but within a rather
narrow range. During most of the day.
bulls had the advantage, as a result of
continued scantiness of receipts and be
cause of the outlook that dampness and
mild temperatures would further tend to
restrict arrivals. The only pronounced
weak spot in the market was coincident
with a notice from the food administra
tion that practically all war rules as to
the handling of grain had been cancelled
by the government. The bearish Influence
of the notice, however, was quickly dis
pelled by the fact that trade had not yet
rescinded an order limiting strictly the
amount of dealings allowed for any single
Interest.
Absence of export buying operated as a
weight on the oats market.
Increased stocks of lard rendered that
commodity weak. Pork and ribs developed
strength. '

New York, Dec. 18. Heaviness pre.
vailed In the stock market today after a
firm opening, prices soon yielding on light
offerings. Pressure was not confined to
any particular group, oils and other re
cent strong favorites displaying reaction
ary tendencies.
Confusion of sentiment incidental to
the administration's attitude toward the
transportation companies found further
expression in moderate liquidation of rail
way nhares. albeit losses in that division
were relatively limited.
I'nlted States Steel backed and filled
within a fractional radius, but Indepen
dent steels broke more severely with rela
ted equipments, of 1 to points, being
attended by trade reports of additional
cancellations of domestic and foreign con
tracts. Coppers were temporarily strengthened
by announcement of the organization of a
new export company, having for Its main
object the stabilization of that Industry,
but failed to retain their moderate gains.
Uncertainty marked the course of ship
pings. Marine preferred holding relatively
steady for a time, but forfeiting part of
its advance later. Tobaccos leathers,
sugars and utilities were included among
the other irregular to heavy issues.
The one encouraging feature of the
session was a drop in call money to 4
per cent, the ruling rate, however, ap
proximating 4. Dealings In foreign ex
change were at low ebb, neutral remit
tances, especially to Stockholm and Swit
zerland, showing more firmness.
Conditions In the bond market were
mixed, International Issues, notably Anglo.
French 5s. duplicating the year's best at
97, while Liberty Issues sagged under the
further weakness of fourth 4s, which
made a new low record at $95 40. Total
sales (par value) aggregated $10,875,000.
Old I'nlted States bonds were unchanged
on call.
