‘F PAGE EIGHT SPECTATORS STAGE BATTLE AND THROW CROWD INTO PAN Catifornian Boxer Wins Eight of Ten Rounds in Best Welter Fight FANS RUSH INTO FIGHT RING Thompson Apparently Affected by Second Fight, but Re- gains Composure Chicag>, March 26.—(P) — Jackie Nields, Chicago Hebrew lad who learned his boxing in California rings, teday holds a synthetic claim, at least, to the world’s welterweight box- ing championship. He acquired it by decisively <ccfeating Young Jack ‘Thompson. San Francisco negro chal- lenger, in their 10-round battle in the historic old Coliseum last night—a thrilling fight that came perilously near ending in a panic in the elghta round. Another Battle Started A crowd of more than 9,000 per- sons, drawn to the battle by the in- tense rivalry between the pair and cxeited beyond the ordinary thrill ty what was one of the best welter- weight fights in ring history, was thrown into a pante in the eighth round when two spectators, one draw- ing a knife and the other a gun to settle their private fight in one cor- ner of the arena, precipitated a terri- fying scene of disorder, resulting in the injury of many spectators, some perhaps suffering fatal injuries. Fields was like the rush of the panic-stricken spectators in his fight with the California negro. He was unstoppable in his offensive, un- swerving in his determination, and completely the master of his foe with possibly the exception of the seventh round. He left no room for doubt as to his superiority over Thompson, winning eight of the ten rounds. Thompson was proceeding smoothly in the eighth when the panic among the spectators caused the fight to be stopped temporarily, because the ring was full of panic-stricken spectators, all seeking safety in the war zone of the arena. Still Kept Fighting Despite all the commotion and hub- bub and a ring full of spectators, Thompson and Fields continued to take punches at each other until there ‘was no more room for them to step around. Eddie Purdy, the referee, fi- nally gathered them in his arms, forcing them to quit fighting until or- der was restored. Thompson, the negro, was vividly affected by the sudden and unexpect- ed rush of spectators into the ring. He did not know what had happened, and was still a bit bewildered, partly because of the panic and partly be- cause of Fields’ heavy fire, when he came out to fight the remaining min- ute of the interrupted eighth round. By: the time the tenth rolled around mn had regained his poise, ap- parently, and did enough fighting to at least even the honors of the round.

GOULD (Associated Press Sports Writer) Out of the paddock they came, the docile little English Derby winner, Papyrus, green clad Steve Donoghue up, and the high spirited, prancing Zev, pride of the American turf, white clad Earl Sande in the saddle. The rival thoroughbred kings of Britain and the United States, pre- mier jockeys of the two nations, 40,000 looking on under dripping skies and $100,000 at stake—these were the ele- ments of the great international race at picturesque Belmont park, the oes Newmarket, in September, The race at a mile and half through mud fetlock deep was just a romp for Harry F. Sinclair's renowned colt, under Sande's skillful guidance. The event, as colorfully and elaborately staged as any in the history of the turf, was conceived by the late Maj. August Belmont as the forerunner of international racing on a consistently big scale. Following gallant little Papyrus came the great French horse, Epin- rd, which furnished a succession of thrills in 1924 in races with such American stars as Wise. Counsellor and Ladkin. Interest reached a high pitch in these turf classics but the death of Major Belmont, long a dom- inant power in American racing, checked the ambitious features of his ram. It was the major’s plan to bring to- gether annually the leading thor- oughbreds of Europe and America, alternately in this country and abroad. He blazed the trail but the idea has languished, although this year there is something of a revival Wash Tubbs ence on English turf of Reigh Count, and Billy Barton, American jumper. Major Belmont’s big event of 1923, ranged since Man O’War beat Sir Barton at Windsor, developed a num- ber of dramatic side-lights, even though the actual race was a disap- pointment. Ben Irish’s little brown horse came over in royal style but in subsequent training failed to impress the rail- birds. Not much enthusiasm for Eng- lish derby winner's chances in the big race was aroused until a few days before the event. Report spread of @ sensational time trial by Papyrus and the colt’s stock boomed. It be- gan to look like a race, especially as troubles developed at the same time in the American camp. Betting odds shortened. Zev, Kentucky derby winner and first choice as the American entry all along, developed a skin ailment. The Sinclair-Hildreth colt’s training was shrouded in mystery. Its every move- ment was closely guarded. Mean- while, the Jocky club considered the possibility of calling on the alternate entry, Adm. Cary Grayson’s My Own. But at a meeting the day before the race it was decided to risk the home- bred chances with Zev. Post time came, the race, and Zev's victory under wraps by the good mar- gin of five lengths. Papyrus, smooth- shod, slipped and skidded in the Muddy going, outclassed after the first half of the race. Zev showed not the slightest trace of being off-form or affected by any ailment.
