Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey, the famous
girl swimmer of the New York
Women's Swimming association,

ing her recent tour of Australia,
won two more Australian cham-

. She took the 100-yard free style
title in 1 minute 7 2-5 seconds, de
feating easily Miss Mina Wylie of
Sydney and Miss Elsie Venning of.
Brisbane, who secured the places in
ibis order. Then she captured the
220-yard classic in 2 minute; and
53 4-5 seconds, beating by no less
than 20 yards her nearest opponent,
Miss Bylie, with Miss Venning
again third. Her time for the fur
long undoubtedly will displace the
international standard of 2 minutes

of Miss Fannie Durack of Australia

Yet Terrific Battle Between
Knockout Brown of N. Y.

Heroic Fistic En
counters. - By H. R. HARRIS.
I was standing at the window the
ether afternoon drinking in the
balmy spring air which floated in
from the inviting, sunshiny out-of-doors,
when I ' heard someone
whistling very softly ' and rather
sadly the tune the words to which
run as follows : , .
Where the snow-crowned golden Sierras
Keep their watch o'er the valley's bloom,
It is there I would be. In our land by the
aea.
Every breexa bearing rich perfume,
It la here nature gives of her rarest;
It is home, sweet home to me;
A, id I know when I die I shall breathe
my last sigh
"For my sunny California."
I looked around and found, that
it was the Canary Kid.
"What's the matter, Canary, got
the orange blues?"' I asked. "Want
to go back to old Los?"
"No, 'at ain't it," replied the Kid.
"I'm jus' fcelin' bad 'bout wot 1
hears 'bout a ol' frien' uv mine,
thassall."
"Who's that?" I asked.
Letter From New York.
"Li'l ol' Knockout Brown of Noo
Yawk," said the Kid. "I gets a let
ter frum th' Star Shell Kid, wot
lives in Harlem, an 'e sez pore ol'
Knockout is complete cleaned out
an' 'at w'en they 'ad 'at spring storm
in Noo Yawk li'l w'ile ago Brownie
wuz glad t' get a job shovelin' snow
eff th' street so 'e could get hisself
somethin' t' eat."
The corners of the Kid's mouth
drooped and he looked very sad, in
deed. ,
' An' you an', mc know," con
tinued, the Kid, " 'at there , never
w.iz no gamer fighter an' no better
li'l fellow now 'eres."
"He certainly wa; game," I agreed.
" 'Member 'at firs' fight uv 'is wit
Bud An'erson out in th' ol' Vernon
'rcna 'bout seven 'r eight years ago?"
asked the Kid. " 'Member 'at 'I Luy
You Cal'fornia' song wot I wuz
jns' w'istlin' wuz wery pop'lar 'en?"
A Great Day
The Kid looked straight at me,
but I am sure that he did not sec
me at all. I am sure that in hi3
vision were moving the forms of a
memorable day in Southern Califor
n;a ring history.
"Y'know," he continued, "I seen
a lotta fights all ver th U. S. A.
an .1 seen th' boys travel b'tween
th' ropes overseas but I b'lieves 'at

"We'll, I believe you're right at
that." I agreed.
"W'y don' yeh tell th' customers

"Mebbe some uv ill" fighters ni'ght
put on a li'l benefit bill fur or

"That's a good idea, Canary," I re-pl-ed.
"I'll try."
So here goes: ; "

The camera man snapped this picture just after Bud Anderson (left)
had. landed jthe powerful right hook to the jaw of Knockout Bown in the
seventh round that switched the tide of battle in their remarkable 20
round fight March 15, 1913, at Los Angeles. Following this blow the
battle developed into perhaps the most sensational struggle ever seen
in a California ring. . '
land, with Sammy Trott, a pretty
good old trial horse, he went through
according to dope, cutting Sammy to
ribbons and stowing him away in
easy fashio.
The sturdy Orcgonian scored an
instantaneous hit with the Los An
geles fans, and McCary matched the
Medford Mauler with the little left
handed Dutchman who had been put
ting many of them away through the
east and who was hitting around
pretty close a a contender for the
lightweight title Knockout Brown
of New York.
March IS, 1913, Anderson and
Brown crawled through the ropes at
Vernon arena. Both fighters were
given wild acclaim by the crowd.
Everyone settled down for a real bat
tle. Both men were known to pos
sess knockout punches and both had
been going good.
Glistens in Sun.
Brown's shaggy , .blonde hair
glistened in the warm California sun
and his smooth, velvety skin radiated
the pink glow of health. A murmur
of admiration at the splendid condi
tion of the little Dutchman went up
from the crowd as he shed his bath
robe and revealed his wonderful
physique.
Anderson, jn the other corner, ap
peared to be in fine trim, lean and
wiry. He was built on a large frame
for a lightweight and his shoulders
conveyed an impression of great hit
ting power.
Brown, tested in battles with
many of the foremost lightweights
of the country, ruled a slight fa
vorite in the betting when the first
round opened.
And the New Yorker, confusing
Anderson by his peculiar right foot
forward attack, stood out way
ahead in the initial frame1. By the
fourth round they were betting two
to one on Brown at the ringside.
Dangerously Near.
Brown was swiping that famous
left-handed knockout punch dan
gerously near to Anderson's jaw
and he was consistently carrying the
fight to the Oregonian, whose con
fident smile at the start of the fight
was rapidly growing very wan.
Brown's supporters waxed glee
ful as he tore into the Oregon
woodsman, utterly disdainful of the
Paddock's Record
Should Stand, Says
Rival Track Coach
New York, April 23. (Special.)
The first authentic statement rela
tive to the recent record-breaking
performances of Charlie Paddock of
the University of Southern Califor-
j nia has reached here from the Pa
' cilic coast. It is the opinion of Wai
ter Christie, the University of Cal
ifornia coach, and as he is the mcn
i tor of the track team of the rival
college, he would not be expected
to color up the facts. This state
ment appeared in a recent issue of
the "Daily Californian," the Univer
sity of California daily, and is quoted
here:
Charles W. Paddock's rer-ord of :n;4
for the 220-yard dash should stand. The
race was on a slow track with the weather
a bit cool for such a performance. Ha
was at a disadvantage Instead of at an
advantage.
It has been said that the track Is not
level. This, however. is not true as
shown by the original survey In 1916 and
r survey made recently- by lour men in
"the department of civil engineering.
The wind could not have been bad
Forty minutes before Paddock equalled
the world's record of .09.3 In the 100-
yard dash facing this wind. The wind
was furthermore tested by Mr. Hugo be
fore the rece by throwing dust into the
air. The dust fell back upon the track
at his feet.
All affidavits will go east to the A.
A. U. record committee handled at 'this
end by the P. A. A. Yes. he ran it, and
on the Pomona track with Hutchinson
and Kirkscy for competition ha could do
the 200 in 20.3.
What makee him good is his confi
dence. His form Is adapted to hia needs
and requirements it suits him to a "T."
He warms up and shows poorly, yet
he is a picture of energy and atrength.
He gets there with a vengeance and in
a hurry. I thank him more profusely for
what he knows In concentration and In
competitive surety, enorgy and fight. We
are all proud of his work and praise his
ability. "
Tom Gibbons Received
$146.40 for Stopping
Williams in 4th Round
"New York, April 23. (Special.)
Tom Gibbons of St. Paul received
$1,356.40 for stopping Larry Wil
liams of Bridgeport in the fourth
round of their la-round bout at the
Pioneer Sporting club. The gross
receipts, including the government
tax of 10 per cent, amounted to
$4,922.70. Gibbons fought for 33
per cent of the net receipts, which
gave him the above sum. Williams

vaunted smashing right that had laid
so many foes unconscious on the
canvas.
Anderson led time after time in
vain.
At last in the seventh round he
landed on Brown's jaw with a blow
that seemed to carry enough power
to split a heavy oaken door.
Brown tumbled to the mat for the
count of eight. He staggered to his
feet only to meet another of those
terrible blows. The gong t the
end of the seventh was a sweet
sound to the ears of. -Dumb Dan
Morgan, the New Yorker's man
ager. Battered and Crushed.
Then for three or four frightful
rounds little Knockout Brown stag
gered about the ring, battered, and
crushed, repeatedly smashed to the
canvas, but always coming up before
the 10 count to valiantly, vainly try
to hurl his pain-tired arms at his
opponent and stop, the rain of heavy
blows that sickened his body and
dizzied his brain.
"Stop it! Stop it 1" yelled many in
the crowd, but Morgan refused to
throw up the sponge and. Referee
Charley Eyeton let them go.
Johnny Kilbane, at the ringside,
screamed at Eyeton to end it, but
Charley held off.
All powers of exercising ring gen
eralship had long -since left Brown.
He would come up from a knock
down and go staggering .toward the
Medford Mauler without the vestige
of a guard.
Time after time Anderson meas
ured Brown as he came in his way
and drove in the "finishing" punch
straight to the jaw and time afer
time Brown struck the canvas and
dazedly climbed to his feet before
he fatal 10 had fallen. .....
Tired and Worried.
After rounds of this Anderson be
gan to look tired and worried.
Along about the 12th for a few
sessions the tide of battle began to
turn in Brown's favor, and for a
short time it began to look as if he
would wear down Anderson by his
lion-hearted fight, but one of An
derson's crushers brought back a
repetition of the first part of the go.
Again Brown would go down be

Al's story.
Nineteen years ago, when Al was
first lured to the alleys, he averaged
147 in a whole season of heaving the
maple spheres. Prcttv good for a
beginner! For several years Al hai
managed to knock down on an evcr-
age of 197 of the wooden bottles in
a season s worK.
Al usually comes out somewhers

feet and stagger toward the Medford
Mauler, his arms wide-opened, his
eyes half-glazed and his legs tremb
ling beneath him.
Brown's gameness was marvelous
but his suffering was pitiful. Kayo
won the crowd almost to a man.
Struggle to Nineteenth.
Up to the 19th round they
struggled, Anderson tired, but fairly
strong, Brown reeling, tottering,
gamely striving to fight.
In the nineteenth Anderson began
to grow weak and Broyrn was fight
ing him evenly.
A fury of sound swept the ring
side, f
"Brown 1 Brown 1 Brown!" roared
the thousands ih the arena.
Brown seemed stronger than he
had been since the early part of the
bout. He carried the fight to Ander
son, as he had been doing through
out, but now he was landing.
Kayo's comeback was shortlived.
Another smashing right from Ander
son and he was again reeling about
the ring.
Indomitable Courage.
Still he fought with that indomit
able courage that had carried him
through, striving to batter his 'op
ponent with arms he could scarcely
raise. '
The sheer nerve of the little
golden haired fighter sent the
crowd wild again and "Brown 1
Brown! Brown 1" re ve rberated
through the arena.
Then the 20th and final round.
Kayo tried so hard to show his
appreciation, but Anderson, now re
gaining his strength, battered him
at every turn.
In a. headlong rush at his ad
versary he missed Anderson and
partly from a blow from the Ore
gonian and partly from his own
momentum went through the ropes
and fell on outer edge of the ring,
where he lay. weak smile on his
face, sprawling on his back like a
ladybug, unable to turn over and
regain his feet until several news
paper men helped him back into the
ring.
Bloody Lips.
Again little Kayo, his bloody lips
trembling from weakness and his
Tegs faltering beneath him, game to
thc very last ounce of strength in
iffs'body staggered forward, swing-
ing wildly at the Medford Mauler
and then such a shout as was never
before heard in the Vernon arena!
For Brown's famous knockout
blow, which had sent scores of box
ers into dreamland, landed and An
derson wilted to the floor.
Dazed and bewildered, Anderson
got to his feet, too far gone to put
up his guard. Brown, hardly able
himself to stand, swung right and
left in a final endeavor to gain the j
victory for which he had so valiant
ly struggled.
A left swing caught the Medford
Mauler in the ja;v. Anderson fe';l
back on the ropes and slid to
a sitting posture, completely out.
The bell rang, ending the 20th round
and the fight before Eyeton could
complete the count.
Eyeton held up both hands.
Men stood on their seats through
out the arena for many minutes
shouting and yelling a tremendous
ovation to Knockout Brown.

afraid my game is getting worse
now. And besides look what

chances with the fair sex, but be
cause of his good looks, he is forced
to use an extra amount of caution.
Al enjoys everything in-tlie lin
of sports that is clean. Boxing,

a Year for Base Balls
New York, April 23. (Spe
cial.) Joe O'Brien, secretary of
the Giants, says that his club
spent $5,000 last year on base
balls.
The public doesn't realize, said
O'Brien, how many balls a club
needs in a season, and how they
melt mysteriously away. The
home team always furnishes the
balls. We had 77 games at home
last year and each game takes
from two to three dozen balls.
In double-headers we use over
four dozen. Figuring about 36
balls to a home game, we mutt
have used approximately 3,009
balls at the Polo grounds last
year. The other clubs, of course,
sat up the same number on their
own home grounds. Base balls
now cost about $1.50 wholesale,
and retail around $2.10 to $2.25.
By a little multiplication it can
be easily seen how we arrived at
our $5,090 expenditure for balls.
Stanley Zbyszko and
Lewis Will Wrestle
In New York Soon
New York, April 23. (Special.)
"Strangler" Lewis, the world's
wrestling champion, will defend his
title against Stanislaus Zbyszko on
May 8 at the Twenty-second Regi
ment armory in this city. These two
wonderful wrestlers will meet at a
show for the benefit of the suffering
women and children in Ireland. .
It is the first duel between this
pair of topliners. Though Zbyszko
tried repeatedly . to get a chance at
the world's crown he didn't waste
his time issuing challenges. He went
out and defeated everybody, includ
ing Joe Stecher, which put him in a
position where he proved he was en
titled to a tussle for the champion
ship. Pasadena's Stadium for

'Champion Heavyweight Talks

JACK DEMPSEY. tfCOrge
tribune Photo." , Carpenticr,
the challenger from Paris, who holds
the title of European champion.
America has bceri" the home of
world's champions as far hack as the
start of glove fighting. There have
been many titlcholders in many
classes, no less than nine men. having
held the heavyweight crown in some
thing like .10 years ii which fistic
arguments have been decided with
the "raw 'tins" covered with leather,
Jack Dempsey is one of the nine, and
his exalted position at present makes
him the subject for this yarn.
Looks on Ring Differently.
We have seen champions come and
go, and there has been a vast differ
ence in the fighting mentality of
many of them. There is a view
point in pugilistics, just the same as
there is in any other business, and
all fighting men do not regard their
chosen profession in the same light.
For instance, take Jack Denipsey
and .Jess Willard. the man froiii
whom the Utah mauler won the title
nearly two years ago at Toledo. An
effort to compare their mental at
titude toward the fighting game re
sults in absolute failure. They are
as different in this respect as daylight
and darkness. Dempsey loves to
fight; Willard doesn't.
Perhaps it would be worth while
to go back a few years ago up to the
time when Dempsey had nothing but ,
a touting to recommend hint as a i
world beater. That was when the '
preseiit champion unpacked his bag
gage in Chicago to make an "honest-to-goodness"
campaign for the
crown.
Dempsey's Only Method.
At that time Dempsey made this
remark to the writer: . . "f
"Honest, I am a regular fighter
every minute I am in the ring, and
that means from the very first gong
I fight just as hard as I know how.
I like to fight so well that I knock
my opponents over the first chance
I get. That's the way I'll always
fight, because it is my way."
That was -something like four .
years ago, and Dempsey's succession
of one-round knockouts and other
short distance bouts which followed
attest the truth of his remark. But
that was four years ago and Demp
sey, the Big Kid, as those who
knew him well called him, has since
traveled the big time, which is
very likely to change the viewpoint J
of a glove wielder.
Dollars Drive, "Pep" Away.
The fact that he has been able to
knock out every man he met in the
ring, taken with his success in dol
lars and cents, may be expected to
have knocked some of the fighting
pep out of him. , '
It is easy to lose the "pep" when
one is master of all he- surveys.- 1 n
fact, superiority will do it quicker
than anything else. When the cham
pion in his last boutwith Bill Bren
nan in New York failed to knock out
Brcnnan until the 12th round, those
who profess to know Dempsey re
marked to one another: Hes lost
"He's lost ,
one of the V
that ever
the 'pep' which made hint
most vicious rmgsters
pulled on a glove."
But the other day when .Demp
sey passed through Chicago on his
way to his training camp in New
Jersey to prepare for the battle with
Carpentier, I asked in an easy way :
"You're not knocking 'em over as
quickly as you used to. What arcjs
vou going to go with this French
man?" Calls Brennan Go His "Off Day "
Dempsey got to the point all right
and answered:
"Some people seem to think that
because I didn't knock out Brennan
in a round or two I've lost the old
ginger. Well, if they think so
they're all wrong. Because I didn"t
stop Brennan in iigtime isn't any
sign that I won't knock out others
m the early rounds. I lie best ot
the fightiug men have a fight in them
that isn't up to the standard they
have established, and it happened
that my last bout with Brennan was
that one for me.
"My fight with Carpentier will V
show my real stuff. That fight will
be ended just as quickly as Jack
Dempsey can end it."
This remark sounds like the
Dempsey of four years ago. We
take it the "pep" hasn't departed.
