( situation is more

' Should he stop

Let's hark back "to the historic
Feter Maher-Joe Choynski clash in
New York as a striking illustration
of how injustice would have been
done if the fight had been stopped
by official action when one man
seemed beaten beyond recovery.
It happened in 1896. Choynski, a
whirlwind on attack, fairly ripped
Maher's face to ribbon with an un
ending succession of slashing left
jabs. He punched the Irishman's
body to a ghastly purple with right
hand drives and crashing left hooks.
He drove Maher all around the ring,
dealing out a rain ofsavage, stag
gering blows.
Both Glimmers Closed.
Maher went through the fifth a
terrible sight to behold. His legs
seemed to buckle under him; his
body was one mass of fearful welts
and bruises; both eyes were practi
cally closed; blood streamed down
from his mouth, his nose, from
above his eyes and from a half doz
en terrible cuts on the face.
A police captain, sitting at the
ringside, could stand it no more. He
bellowed to the referee to "stop the
fight before Maher is killed" and
then proceeded to jump into the ring
to beat the referee to it. As he did

Dempsey Sends His "Best
Girl" Flowers on Mother's Day
Chicas i Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Atlantic City, May 9. The central
figure at one function alter another
and absorbed, in the details of his
training camp, Jack Dempsey did
not forget that Sunday was Mothers'
day. He was up before 6' o'clock this
morning, and his first thought was
of his mother back in Salt Lake City.
The champion's secretary offered to
carry out his instructions, but Demp
sey shook his head. Friends of the
champion say that he always lends
the personal touch where his mother
is concerned.
After wiring a florist, the cham
pion sent this telegram to Mrs. Celia
Dempsey, his mother:
"This is Mothers day. Expect a
great bouquet of, flowers. Am going
to train hard so you won't be dis
appointed on July 2. JACK."
When he reached the camp late
yesterday afternoon, this message
awaited him.
"Dear Boy I just knew you
wouldn't forget your mother. We
know what to expect in Jersey City.
Mother."
"Some girl," burst out Jack to his
friends after reading the dispatch.

to the police captain and said:
"Xo fight should ever be stopped

still willing to fight. You must
never try to deprive any fighter of

The speaker was Theodore Roose

Well, in the very next round, as
Choynski came in to finish Maher,
figuring one or two well aimed
smashes would do it, Peter put
everything he had into a swinging
right hander. It caught the un

the point of the chin and down he

fight." It didn't want the American
crushed to a pulp. But the referee
was deaf to the pleas.
Wells continued the slaughter in
the second. The crowd became al
most frantical in cries to the referee.
It feared Palzer might be killed.
Palzer was reeling and pitching like
a ship in a typhoon.' It didn't seem
humanly possible for Palzer, to live
through the next four or five blows.
Knocks Out Wells.
But in the third Palzer knocked
out Wells.
Those are two of a thousand in
stances where fighters seemingly
helpless, apparently beaten to uncon
sciousness, while on their feet have
come back and won. But where is
there a single instance in the modern
history of the ring to show that a
fighter has come to harm as the di
rect result, of finishing knockout
blows after he was reeling and stag
gering and "out on his feet?"
It would seem, therefore, that
inasmuch as no appreciable harm can
Come to a fighter to permit him to
stay until he is actually counted out,
it is an injustice for a referee to
stop the battle. For how does he
know that the fighter in question
can't duplicate the feats of Maher,
Palzer and all the others?
Owner of Derbv
Winner Missed
Getting Fortune
E. R. Bradley Would Have
Won Between $500,000 and
$750,000 Had Black Serv
i ant Won Classic.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
New York, May 9. E. R. Brad
ley, owner of the Idle Hour Stock
farm of Lexington. Ky., and of the
famous Beach club of Palm Beach,
Fla., missed winning a fortune on
Saturday when his horse Black
Servant failed to win tfie Kentucky
derby at Louisville, although anoth
er horse from his stable, Behave
Yourself, Avon the race and Black
Servant finished second. He re
ceived almost $50,000 as the prize
for winning the race, but ' he lost
many times that much because he
had made a bad bargain with his
jockeys and failed to collect the bets
he had laid on Black Servant with
the winter books in New York and
Chicago.
So far as is known Mr. Bradley
lost nothing in actual cash because
his bets on the stable just before
the race probably covered him but
there is no telling how much he
would have won had the fates -been
kind to him. It was common gos
sip on Broadway last night that Mr.
Bradley, members of his' stable
forces and his friends would have
won between $500,000 and $750,000
had Black Servant won the race.
Racing men believe that Mr.
Bradley intended all along that
Black Servant was to win the race
over Behave Yourself if possible. In
proof to this they point to the fact
that he gave the mount on Black
Servant to Jockey Lawrence Lyke,
the best rider in his stable while he
put Thompson on Behave Yourself.
Lyke is a star rider and everyone
knows it. Thompson won glory for
himself on Saturday but before that
he was an unknown quantity, a rep
uation in Tia Juania but none on the
American tracks. But to make both
boys ride to win Mr.' Bradley told
them he would give the winning
jockey $4,000 and the loser $1,000.
He ordered Lyke to win with Black
Servant and hoped that Thompson
would finish second with Behave
Yourself. He nominated neither
horse to win for his stable, jn which
case it would have been perfectly
legitimate for the jockey on the
other to have pulled up in the
stretch.

Local Semi-Pro Team to Take
Trip Throughout East
This Mouth.
Business Manager Bernie J. Boyle
of the Murphy-Did-Its announced
Sunday that he had wired the
members of the "Black Sox" that it
would be impossible for the Murphv-
Did-lts to play them here or at Chi

to arrance contests with the local

see their way clear in arranging these

of a number of ball players who
were recently indicted in Chicago
for the alleged throwing of the 1919
world series. The team has been
barred from participating in games
in some cities.
According to Boyle, the Murphy
Did-Its will take a weeks trip
through the east the last of this
month, playing teams in Wisconsin,
Chicago, Detroit and possibly l.leve
land, O., although the schedule is
not yet completed.
The initial contests of the trip will
be played at Kenosha, Wis., May 28
and 29, while 'on Decoration day they
will rjlav tne Normals at Chicago.
At present they have May 31 open,
but Business Manager Boyle expects
to play another team in Chicago on
that day. On June 1, 2 and 3 they will
plav a scries of contests with the
All-Stars, colored champions of De
troit, Mich., and on June 4 and 5
they will play at Jackson, Mich.
Boyle expects to complete the
schedule in a few days. Negotia
tions are under way to bring the
V ichita Greys here next Sunday and
the following Sunday they will play
the Nebraska Sioux Indians at the
Western league park.
A number of other crack teams
will be seen in action against the
local semi-pros during the remainder
of the season.

Takon "Shot"
At "Big 4" Men
Of Mat Game
Chicago Alderman Has Ordi
nance Passed Forbidding
Any More Bouts Among
"Trust" Grapplers.
Chicago, May 9. (Special.) Con
vinced that the "Big Four" wrestling
matches between Lewis, Stecher,
Caddock and the younger Zbyszko
are fakes and a swindle on the pub
lic, Alderman Anton Cevmak has
taken steps to end the activities of
the wrestling trust in Chicago unless
wrestlers and promoters agree to
stage an honest tournament open to
all to decide the heavyweight title.
To this end Alderman Cermak had
an ordinance passed forbidding any
more permits for wrestling shows
ivntil the wrestlers, their backers and
the promoters have convinced the
authorities that the bouts are on the
square.
Mr. Cermak in passing opinion on
the methods of the wrestling trust
in refusing matches to Martin Ples
tina and other legitimate contenders
in vannm r nsses mane tnis remark
able assertion:
"There is no question in the world
but what the public is being fleeced
by hippodrome matches and setups
for the men who are posing as cham
pions. I believe I have personal
knowledge of where several matches
were framed. I mention one match
in particular. When Lewis wrestled
Wladek Zbyszko I was at the ring
side. Before the match men whom
I believe were identified with the
trust circulated among the crowd and
offered 2 to 1 that Zbyszko would
win the first fall. He won and im-
tnorliitalir ills cim ttl rt3CSt4
through the crowd offering 2 to 1
that Lewis would win the next two
falls. I did not think Lewis could do
this honestly, but one of the 'we'
boys, thinking he was doing me a
service, rushed up to me and warned
me not to bet on Zbyszko, as he said
the match, 'was in.' r
