Baltimore Sun (Newspaper) - February 23, 1903, Baltimore, Maryland The Sun. Baltimore. Monday morning. February 23. 1903. 9boxing a Noble game to Bays Al Smith new York a Veteran new Bill will pass the Man who a held too too la bet and stake and sever earned a cent by it. A there a a Hill before the legislature to legalize said Al Smith in an interview Given to the new York world. _ Quot i Hope it will pass. We might to have boxing in new York. It la a Noble a port the King of All athletic game i Hope the lawmaker will Start it going again and Start it right. There a no reason Why the sport can to be kept As clean a horse but who la Al Smith perhaps one Reader out of a thousand May ask. It is Safe of assume that the other we not Only know him inn Admire him. He is the King of american sporting men. Albert Franklin Smith is his full name. During the 35 years he has made new York bus Home Al Smith Baa held $6,000, 000 in Wager on fights walking matches elections Etc., without go tag s receipt or taking a receipt for it or accepting a much As a 5-cent piece for his services and not one Penny of the Money has Ever gone astray. Quot Well leave it to Al Smith Quot is the final word iii Many a dispute Over betting propositions. When he has Gien his decision no one thinks of taking an Appeal. To what higher authority could an Appeal be made he is a big. Kindly gentle spoken Man. With More friends than any other Dweller along Broadway. For nearly 30 years the Gilkey House Bas been his Home. Ilia age Well the world reported on March 28, 1900, the Celebration of his sixtieth birthday but there must have been a mistake somewhere for he does no to look or talk or act a Day Over 50. Quot boxing Isnit fighting understand a a or. Smith continued apropos of senator Frew Leys Bill to legalize boxing matches in this state. Quot there s As much difference Between prize fighting and boxing with the gloved As there is Between a Duel to the death with knives and a pleasant Lively fencing match with Folia. There a a difference that none of the enem is of the game Ever recognize. They want boxing. Quot now. Get this Down. My son. And emphasize it a much As you like the people of this Community Are in favor of honest boxing they want it. What Little opposition you May find Here and there comes Korn people who know nothing about the game. Boxing is of great value to the Community understand for it encourages Young Fellows to go into training to Lead temperate decent lives at the very time of life when every reasonable restraint la necessary. Make no mistake about that. If you have any doubt on the subject ask Rev or. Rainford or any other big. Able Broad minded Clergyman and see of he does no to corroborate me. Quot to promote boxing among the Young Fellows of the Community we should have plenty of High elks matches Between professionals. It is a clean sport. It can easily be kept clean. A but we want no More fake boxing. Faking killed the game killed the Horton Law. 1 notice that senator Frawley a Bill provides for state commissioners to control and supervise the sport As the state commissioners control racing. That a right. I see. Too. That All licenses issued by the commission Are to provide that for All contests in boxing or sparing there shall be two judges and a referee that there shall be a decision rendered in each contest that each contestant shall be examined before entering the ring by a medical examiner that no betting shall be allowed in said building nor shall liquor be sold there and that All tickets for admission shall be sold at the Box office of such association at the regularly advertised prices. Quot first rate. I say to every one of those regulations. I Don t know what limit senator Frawley would it on the contests. I would suggest that they run to at least 12 rounds. Any first class Man can go 12 rounds at top spend. They do pretty Well in Philadelphia with a six round limit but not Well enough. Quot that distance land to far enough for anyone but a sprinter. But 12 Queensberry rounds 40 minutes of boxing gives plenty of time for one Man to show that he a better than another. Its like the three mile race among rowing men. One Crew that can beat another at three Miles can beat it at four. Five or six Miles or As far As it May care to go. Quot properly managed boxing will give the people of this state and especially of the City of new York. A great Deal of healthy entertainment. And you la find the Best men in the Community around the ringside. Think of the men who used to go to see John Sullivan in the Garden. There were Pann and Conkling and All the giants in politics business and professions. No reason on Earth Why we can to run the game for the same Cia s of men again of the thing is properly managed. Took John On tour. Quot in be seen All the champions since Long before Sullivan s Day and i think i May rightly claim to know something about the sport. In 1883 i took Sullivan and a company of boxers All Over America on a tour that lasted nine months. We did t act. We just boxed. There was no town of decent size that we did no to show in. I cleared Sho too on that trip. It was the greatest boxing tour Erer known. That a when i offered $1,000 to anyone who enfold stay four rounds before Sullivan. Quot by the Way. We had tin experience at Butte. Mont., that was very like what Champion Jeffries had with Jack Munroe out there. There was a Tough fellow there named Robinson who weighed Only a Little store than 140 pounds and he came near staying the limit. He did t try any tug Wilson business of falling to the floor either but just skipped in and out for three rounds keeping out of Sullivan s Way. Quot in the fourth round John Got to him right and put him away and our $1,000 was Safe. But it looked bad for us up to the moment Sullivan landed the punch. You must t go too far on a fellow just because he can stay four pounds in front of a Champion. Quot i feel sure we Are going to have a great revival in the boxing game. When i look Back and see How it has grown and improved in my time i can see nothing ahead of us but a big Boom in the sport. Why it s Only a few years since Jack Dempsey and Leblanche the Marine fought with Bare Knuckles for the middleweight championship. They met under London prize ring rules. That was prize fighting a violation of the Law. Paid a Loo to see it. Quot Only a few spectators were present and everyone of them had paid Hoo to be there. No one knew when the left the Hoffman House where we were hound for. Detectives were everywhere looking for the tip but we lost them. We dodged one by one. Aboard a tug put out her lights and a lipped away Down Long Island sound. The police boat patrol a on our Trail but we lost her too. Early Church Bells were ring lug at Larchmont near the dancing Pavilion in which wed pitched the ring when Dempsey and Lablanche faced each other it 9 of clock that sunday morning. It was a Fine fight. The Man who had picked out the place Una not with us. He dodged at the last moment and let someone else run the thing. Quot How different it is nowadays when two Chni Plons meet. It Isnit a bar knuckle fight but a boxing contest with big gloves. One Man out Point the other outdoes him but does no to chop him up As the old Bare knuckle fellow used to do. If either one is unable for it seconds to go on boxing he loses there and then. In Many of the Best contest you done to see one drop of Al and Terry Mcgovern. Quot by the Way or. Smith did you make Terry Mcgovern a present of the featherweight championship of the world Quot asked the visitor. replied Al Smith laughing Quot but i wik the Means of giving him the Chance to win it. Mcgovern was matched against pedlar Palmer of England for the title. The boys were to meet at Tuckahoe. There was a Long delay because there was not enough Motley in the House to make up the purse. It looked As if there be a fight. Quot there were Hundred of Good people at the ringside and i hated to see them disappointed so i put up enough Money to make Good the purse and then went into the Box Obe to try to get if Back. I got it Back. But i did no Taer the fight. It was All Over before we had counted up the Quot arc the fighters of today As Good As the old timers Quot was asked. Quot As a Rule yes Quot replied the Veteran. Quot the a Hunt of cleverness in the game is much More widespread. There Are More Good men. Fighters have improved. Just As horse and yachts and locomotives and everything else have improved. Rut there were Brilliant men among the old timers. Take j pm Mace. He was so years ahead of his Day. He was a Clever As Fitzsimmons is today and that is As High a compliment a May Man could Ever Quot by the Way How Many fight Beve you refereed or held stakes for Quot the vial Tot inquired. Quot Well you might begin at a thousand and count up from Al Smith replied. A i guess the number. In be never had a Peony though for refereeing or holding a takes although i believe its fashionable nowadays to give the referee $500. I guess that a right too. Everything about the game is becoming modernized put on a business Coy to fight m Cormick interesting Battle in Philadelphia tonight. Kid Mccoy and Jack Mccormick Are to meet in a six round bout tonight in Philadelphia. This will be Mccoy a first Battle for some time and the followers of the Hoosier Boxer Are anxious to see How he will shape up with the philadelphian. While. Mccormick is by no megs considered in the first rank of the heavyweights he is nevertheless a dangerous Man As was shown when he put Mccoy out with a single punch a couple of years ago in Chicago. Mccoy underestimated his opt it neut but to his Surprise Mccoy Nick caught him a swing that sent Mccoy reeling to the floor i for the count. In a return match Mccoy fought his Man with great caution Aud j finally won out after nine fierce round. Mccoy and Mccormick have both been training hard for their Battle and should be prepared for a fast bout. Mccoy has been stopping at Muldoon a farm following a novel course of training which included Long rides across country on horseback. Mccormick has been doing his work with Tom Sharkey in this City and the Sailor says that Mccoy will have to he at his Best to win from Vern a anger match men to meet at 180 pounds at fort brie on March to. Terry Mcgovern and Benny Yanger. The Tipton Slasher Are to fight 20 rounds St fort Erie before the International athletic club on March 16. This was arranged in new York on saturday night last. Jack Herman matchmaker of the club offered a purse of $2,500, or 55 per cent. Of the Gate receipt. The fight is at 130 pounds weigh in at the ringside. When the boys signed articles they agreed to let the affair go to the highest bidder and Friday was the Day set to receive bids. But those interested could not get together and the final selection was postponed until saturday. A Side bet of $1,000 1� to hinge on the outcome. In the papers Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons Are named to referee. The office will in All probability fall to Fitzsimmons who expects to be in Buffalo about that clubs old for the fight but the fort Erie clubs proposal was the highest. It is Likely that the Mill will be decided on a percentage basis instead of the purse. Under the percentage arrangement the men would Realise a bigger aum As the fight appears to be a great drawing card. Mcgovern is hard at work at Johnson s Road House on Jerome Avenue getting into trim. This will be Yanger e first contest of importance in the East. He is a chicagoan. Old timers for Macon a Benefit.

From Washington the players will go direct to their training quarters in Savanna h88g. President ehrets of the Brooklyn club who is a member of the National league schedule committee announces that he and manager Hanlon who is on the playing rules committee will go to Chicago in response to the Call issued by James a.

Pulliam also said that he would Call a meeting of the National league owners As soon As the joint committees finish their work in Chicago. This meeting probably will be held on March 3.two heats in three popular new system of trotting meets wit a general favor. When the abolition of the old and wearisome system of three in five heats on the trotting turf was suggested it met with warm opposition from the majority of owners campaigners and trainers says the Philadelphia inquirer. Good suggestions for the welfare of the sport were for a time but indifferently considered. As time went on and the howls of indignation began to be heard from All sections of the country the advocates of Shorter sharper and More quickly decided races begun to receive the recognition their cause merited. The leading turf journals were slow to become the advocates of much needed reforms not fanciful impracticable innovations. A few of the leading newspapers of the country through their a porting columns. Took up the agitation and in doing so did not confine their efforts to a Mere comment in a single Issue hut kept plugging away and track managers Are making the majority of their popular racing events All Best two in three heats the coming season. By the adoption of the two i three system particularly by the Mogul of the trotting turf associated with jibe series of grand circuit races a precedent Baa been set that the smaller state and sectional circuits will follow thus giving every indication that throughout the country the coming season the greater number of races to harness will be conducted on the new and very much needed conditions. Some of the Strong armed gents who make More Money going through a circuit without winning a race will have heir Chance of fraudulent driving very materially reduced. The Carse of the laying up of heat has driven thousands of disgusted patrons of the trotting turf from the betting rings As Well As numerous owners from campaigning who have too frequently been made the victims of in can Purlous Drivers who did not hesitate to conspire against their employers and benefactors. It will require More than one season to restore that confide Nice which will mean increased attendance longer entry lists and assured successes. Instead of numerous failures at Many race meetings. The adoption of the two in three system is bound to prove satisfactory particularly to the Public whose support and patronage Are so vitally essential to the life and Prosperity of the trotting turf. The managers of the charter Oak and Oakley tracks of which Andy Welch 1� the leading spirit were among the leaders to make the majority of their scheduled grand circuit events Best two in three heats. The management of the Empire City trotting club of new York. Made Radical changes As compared with former conditions governing the stakes to be contested for at the grand circuit meeting on the Empire City Tinck at Yonkers during the week beginning Angust to. The stakes have been increased to $25,-000 and with this announcement the management has published that All races shall be Best two in three heats with the further provision that All horses not standing for Money after two heats Are to be ruled out. The Columbus association at first dissatisfied with the allotment of its dates for the grand circuit meeting has come into line and will 4 a ild the race september 21 to 25. With five races each Day. The management has also adopted the two in three system with $40.000 Hung up in purses stakes to Clori March 15 with the usual Liberal trooping in this is Congress week 1,600 Are expected. An question of loaded bal pedigrees of champions recent discussion make comparison interesting. The controversy that has been carried on among Drivers to such an extent regarding the superiority of one line of Breeding or another makes a comparison of the Breeding of the champions interesting.

Indianapolis feb. 22.�?delegates to the american Bowling Congress Are arriving on every train. Fifteen Hundred visitors Are expected and one half that number is already Here. Representatives of Louisville Cleveland and Milwaukee have been Here All Day to urge their claims or the next National Congress. Chicago and new York came in this evening the latter delegation being headed by or. Timm Thomas Curtis and Joseph Thura. Mayor Bookwalter of Indianapolis sex mayor Taggart mayor Grainger of Louisville and mayor Rose of Milwaukee held a conference this afternoon which was attended by a number of the prominent bowlers. It was apparent that there is a spirit of Compromise among the Delegate and it is believed there will be no split in the Natl Onul organization. The Congress will meet tomorrow morning. The adoption of a Constitution will be the first business. It i proposed to change the Constitution to make the basis of representation by states instead of by tournaments in order to recognize state organizations. As to the use of loaded balls. President Bookwalter a ays the decision tomorrow probably will be a Compromise allowing loaded balls but limiting the weight to 17% pounds. Said he Quot we have legislation As to size. We will fix the weight. Wooden balls weighing from 12 to 15 pounds have been weighted to 20 and 22 pounds. I think the result will be to allow any kind of wooden Ball loaded of desired up to 17 pounds. At the Congress this week the loaded Ball will have an advantage As the pins Are nil new but it will have a disadvantage from the fact that the pins Are 3 pounds 2 ounces instead of 3 pounds 4 the selection of officers and the place of the next convention will take place thursday. Cleveland Milwaukee and Louisville Are after the convention. Chicago wants Frank pcs Delong elected president Woodcock hard to hit How the gunner watches for the flight in the dusk for a shot. Of nil forms of american Shotgun work probably the most difficult is Woodcock shooting on the rear Edge of a Southern Plantation near dark. Says the new York Sun. In this sport pretty nearly everything is in favor of the Bird and against the gunner Light Speed distance and unexpectedness. It is a sport Peculiar to the far South and practice Only by those whose familiarity with the Shotgun gives them Confidence in it. The Woodcock is a night feeder spending his Day in deep thickets and molasses where it i hard to find him and harder to hit him after he is found. At about Sunset however he bestir himself and starts for the open Fields canes leads from which the stalks have been Cut. Cotton Fields Bare of everything except the Small dark Brown stems Cornfields and pastures. He wants a Only a soft soil in which he bores with his Long Bill for Worms. To get out of the sir find which is always heavily wooded with High Trees he ascends some to to too fee Lalove the Trees and then strikes a Long slant for the open ground. He is flying always at the top limit of his Speed for although he has Only a mile or so to go he starts late and is in a Burry fearing that some earlier Bird will pre empt the Best ground. The gunners stand on the rear Edge of the Field or posture against which the Forest Breaks. They go there because of they went farther out they would get Little or no shooting. Their Only Chance is to take the woodcocks As they leave the Forest and drop downward. In fact. Many of the Birds Settle not a Hundred Yards from the Wonda finding As Good ground nearby a a far out. To speeding the Woodcock flashes by like a dark meteor not bigger than an Orange. He appears suddenly Between the gunner and the sky. And the next instant 1� out of sight. Every Bird killed thus is shot when. Going from the Marksman because a Man coaids not hit the Bird at All if he faced the Trees. The Black Shadow would interfere and the Bird would be overhead and gone before a trigger could be pressed. The Birds As they pass Are generally from fin to 75 feet in the air darting Onward with terrific rapidity and when hit hard they will often fall a Good 75 Yards away. The Woodcock when flushed in the daytime among Trees and Hughes is not a Swift Bird. He depends for safety upon the Protection afforded by branches and the eccentricity of bus flight. In late afternoon pasture shooting the Woodcock has All of his usual eccentricity of flight and three times his usual Speed. The fact that he is going Down adds to the difficulty. It is the shot which is afforded by a Quail Flushing from the top of a High tree and All sportsmen know How difficult that is with the difference that the Man knows the Point from which the Quail will flush and there is Good Light. There is but one Way in which to kill the Woodcock seeking the Fields in the dusk and that is to hold under him with Quick powder by a Good Yard. Not Only most the Bird be seen above the barrels but there must be three feet of a pics Between the muzzle and his body. On the rear edges of Many Southern plantations at this time of year a gunner May obtain 20 shots Between Sunset and dark and of he get a half dozen Birds he will have no cause to complain. Many a fair Marksman under these conditions will expend from 20 to 2� shells and Bever touch a Feather. M a real Fox tales owe Down in Kent takes to the water hot Hunters lost one.

The Day was a Fine one for the sport the Snow covered the ground giving the dogs a splendid Chance for trailing and the frigid atmosphere of the morning caused the huntsmen to ride their fastest to keep warm. Reynard a jumped one mile South of Knauer town and took a northerly coarse finally skirting pug town and adjacent villages. With the dogs in close Pursuit. Reaching the Ridge Road he passed South and led a rattling Chase for Over six mile Over the Fields. The dogs at last cornered him.

Capt. Thoma ones of the red x steamship company in general and the a Teamer carib in particular bad risen to the position of second mate from roustabout and from second mate to chief officer and finally to cup talk but he Wnink to looked upon a full blown yet. Ile a a Humble looking Man and he was not Given to Long speeches but for some reason the a team hip company had an idea that should an emergency arise pm Plain Jones would Rise to it Aud do them Honor. If his Crew did t agree with the official of the company it was because they were hustled about so Lively and worked so hard Fiat they Hadnot time to study him. It was sufficient for them that he always a tuck by his mates right or wrong and he had a Way of backing them a with belaying pins and other Hardwood substances that never left the referee a Chance to Call the affair a draw. The carib a in the Kouts american Trade. When a Steamer Captain goes into the South american Trady he i prepared a for almost anything that comes along. This includes typhoons and revolutions. Captain Jones a fed met several typhoons. He had also pushed through several revolutions and vet his Opportunity ror rising to an occasion had not arrived. The typhoons had found a stanch ship to Deal with., and the dictators and revolutionists had been careful to keep their banus off of american property. In fact no matter which Side was on top or How Many would be Dic be applied Terr. Today an Ali Day shoot will be held on the old ground. The events will be open and crack shot Firma several cities Are expected to a in Lieut Uund Captain Jones to Trot oui the deserter. Tat Ora were in the Field the whole Bolling of them looked for the red x steamers to bring them the necessary munitions of War and to interfere with them was to kill the Golden Goose. During a certain year while the carib was making her trip to new y Ork and return the people Rose against the dictator of one of the Small states. The dictator meanwhile had looted the Treasury and got Way to France. Several new in wanted to take his place Bat after a few Days of stabbing and Throat cutting the number of candidates was reduced to two and. Naturally enough they were the worst of the lot. One of them held the capital City and chief port As the carib steamed in. And the other was fighting to get in. The Man who was in wanted the help of the people to hold his Job and he was impressing everything that could fire a gun. He did no to attempt to meddle with the carib at first beyond declaring her cargo contraband of wag and figuring up what bus share of the loot would come to but catching seven of Ber Crew ashore he marched them to the entrenchments guns in their hands and gave them the Choice of shooting at the enemy or being shot themselves. They began wasting blk precious ammunition at once but one Day proved to be a Tuff Clency for them. And at night they deserted and returned to the Steamer. You can to take seven men out of the Short handed Crew of a Steamer without their being missed. Captain Jones missed his seven and when he heard of the High handed proceedings he got ready for trouble. The deserters had had the Good sense to bring their guns along and a few More were scared up after a Hunt. Of team pipe were fitted and run to the gangways barricades erected Here and there and when Daylight came next morning the carib looked like a Cross Between Noah Sark and a Man of War. The dictator did no to lose any time sending for his deserters. He needed their services and his message was to the effect that they must be Given a within 30 minutes or he would open fire on the Steamer. Then it was that the latent something in Captain Jones began to Rise. He consigned the dictator to a climate where red hotness prevails the year round and with his own bands he lining the arrogant messenger upon the wharf. Half an Bour later the dictator appeared in person. He was backed by 200 soldiers and his mein was that of a conqueror As be ordered Captain Jones to Trot out the deserters. Quot now. Hear me Quot said Captain Jones in reply Quot i shall not give up a Man. So go ahead and do your five minutes later there was a fight on. The dictator a 200 men tried to Quot Rush the Steamer and half a dozen were killed and a score half cooked by Bot steam. Then they posted themselves behind the Stone warehouses and swept the steamers deck with their Rifle find. The dictator then brought up two pieces of Cannon and solid shot Tore away the Bridge and Pilot House and bored the a Way through smokestacks and upper Cabins. When a score of rounds had been fired Captain Jones said to his chief officer Quot or. Merwin. Its time to make a bit of hl�4ory. Let every Man who can stand on bus legs fall in behind and follow there were Only 19. At a signal from Tho Captain they followed him Down the gangplank and a the narrow Street to where the guns were posted. The dictator was there directing the fire. Before he coaids Realise what was afoot Captain Jones had pulled him from Bis horse and was shaking him Down the Street while the mates led the Crew against the artillery its and drove them off and upset the guns. Not a Man was lost in the dash and when the shelter of the Steamer was reached the dictator was with them As a prisoner. Leaping up on the shattered rail of the Steamer Captain Jones faced the too soldiers howling for his blood and said Quot listen to me. If another shot is fired St this Steamer it tie too pounds of Iron to Tho feet of your dictator and drop him overboard a there was no More firing. A mob gathered and howled and shrieked and cursed but it ended at that. At the end of a couple of hours a military officer came aboard under a Flag of truce to see what terms Contd be made. He was met at the Gangway by Captain Jones while the dictator was sulking in the Cabin under the eyes of a sentry. Quot you want your Man. I suppose Quot queried the Captain As he returned the other s Sainte. 0 Quot is a Well of Yon want him to run your Side of this old revolution you Are a Little late.

Why Bauta Roll fair. Chicago feb. 22 a manager Tom loft a of the Washington baseball teem will propose some changes in rules at the joint meeting of the american and National league committees which will be held Here tomorrow to arrange a uniform set of playing rules and a schedule. Loftus was inclined to be noncommittal to ought on the outcome of the meeting but mentioned a few matters for which he says he will fight. Quot i want the Pitcher taken off his Pedestal and the groundskeeper barred rom playing the games is the Way he stated his position. Quot they have been raising the Pitcher a Box every year lately until he is so High that the people in the grandstand can to Ane the rest of he infielders any Mere and i want a Law passed that will keep the pitchers Box even with the rest of the Diamond j Quot then i am against those a sewers along the lose lines too. Some of the ground keepers have been using their shovels so j hard and often that every bunt Rolls fair. T making the groundskeeper a ability More important than that of the Batter in Raak lug hits. If i have my Way i will have All these ridges and tunnels abolished and the base lines kept level As they should be. They did not have the ridges on the lines nor any judges stand pitchers boxes when i was in the game and i done to want any lofts refused to make any direct statement regarding the foul strike Rule. It now seems probable that each league will support the Rule under which it played last season. The american league is understood to be unanimous in favor of the old Rule. While some of the National league owners do not favor the making of a foul strike. In cons Quence the chances seem to favor a retention of the Law under which the american league clubs have been playing. Minor leagues Board will demand representation upon a the National committee.
