Only Time Cans Ever Stopped

Whenever the names of great

there was a time
in which the old
mnster was ac-
cuscd of quitting, and this in a cham
pionship contest with his old rival,
Frank Erne of Buffalo.
This famous fight was held in Xcw
York March 23. 1900. Erne was
champion at the time. The two were
scheduled for 25 rounds.
For 12 long rounds these two won
c'erful boxers kept at it hammer and

and science unsurpassed in the ring,
even to this day. It was a wonderful
exhibition.
Battle of Master Boxers.
The shuffling negro waded in with
crafty cunning, trying to pop the elu
sive Buffalo boy how those two fel
lows could pick off the punches!
There weren't any tricks known to
the game that either wasn't familiar
with. There was no wasted energy
in that contest. Every move meant
something.
It was a red-hot battle.
When Gans would, land a clean
blow, Erne always was there with a
counter punch, and it was along
these lines that the two kept, going
at top speed.
For the first six rounds it was
even. Then Erne drew ahead for a
short period ' in the seventh and
eighth, but the old master was not
accustomed to trailing, and soon re
gained even terms. It was anybody's
fight and it almost looked certain
that the two men would travel the
full 25 rounds. - .

the Railway Crossing Gong Rings
" 'Tut, till.' sez th presiden', '1
gotta go. This vctoin' keeps m' so
busy, y'know."'
As the Kid finished this rccountal,
a clangiilg of a raiiroad crossing
gong came to my ears. The tracks
ahead loomed up rapidly and I hol
lered to the Kid to watch out. The
sound of the gong became deafening.
I rubbed my eyes and blinked as
the fiery morning sun met my gaze.
I grabbed the old alarm clock and
turned off its hateful racket. I
started, sleepily, to get out of bed
and then jumped as I saw a form
slowly rise to a sitting posture on
the floor.
"Why, Canary!" I exclaimed,
sUrtlcd.
"Don't get 'xcitcd." yawned the
Kid, "I had t' sleep somew'eres an'
so I jus come hit' yer room as'
night w'ilc you wuz snoozin'."
Still Half Asleep.
"But your car" I said, rubbing
my eyes, still half asleep. i

Kansas Warriors Start in Lead
But Creighton Forges Ahead
And Leads at Half, 22 to
8-PIay Tonight.
The Haskell university basket ha;l
team of Lawrence, Kan.i composed
of "heap h'z injuns." fell before the
Creighton uni:'sity quintet Friday
night at " the C aightou gymnasium
in an uninteresting game by the
score of 41 to 16.
Fighting pluckily against a team
of veterans who outplayed itliem
throughout the game, the Haskell In
dians tried hard to forge ahead on
the scoring sheet, but the teamwork
of the locals coupled with their eye
for the rings spelled defeat fcr the
visitors.
Kearney was the, star of the win
ner's play. He chalked up 25 of hii
team's 41 pointers, 20 of this nunibci
resulting from baskets made fron
scrimmage. Wise was second in
scoring for Creighton with three
baskets. Berry and Vandiver each
registered one field goal in the
initial period.
Carney Stars for Visitors.
For Haskell, Carney was the main
point collector. This speedy Indian
not only, scored eight of hit squad i
i r , i I
iu markers, out nc was a uil' stone
in the road of the Creighton march
to victory. His guarding and passing
was the feature of the loser's part
in the game. Dungon and Ander
son, Mutt and Jeff of the Haskell
aggregation, each counted two field
goals from difficult positions. Chief
Eagle played a good game at guard.
The score:
Haskell.
