Boxing Gets Revival Last Night--Mohr Beats Marto All the Way--Hayes Puts It Across on Manage- ment and Bids Good Night to Local Rings-- Yale Men Still Discussing Disbarring of Athletes ARTO IS BEATEN BY WALTER MOHR Exhibition in Years Staged at Armory Last Night nce more boxing in this eity oc- cs the pedestal of glory from’ h it dropped at a recent show, n an all star card was produced @“nna’s armory through the med- of Manager “Billy” Hanna, and 1 at its conclusion, nothing but ds of praise were heard for the W, and the gleams of satisfaction he faces of the 900 fans evidenced fact. From the time that Referee lis jumped through the ropes and ed the boys together for the first the fans were entertained in a ner which was second to none held here, and in the future if ng is to be held under the same gement, it should be received by tronage in greater numbers than of last evening. hat everything worked off smooth. s due to the sportsmenship of ager Hanna, who at the last mo- t was made the victim of one of rawest deals ever perpetrated by joxer on a manager in this city, pn Johnny Hayes, who in the past endeared himself in the hearts of [ lovers of boxing in this city, “put S: a deal which means his ex- ination from participating in any ‘e bouts in this city. The boy from Metropolis at the beginning of the ngements for the show, agreed ght for a stipulatéd sum, and a thy foe was found to face him. the management had expected rything was satisfactory until es arrived at the armory, then a bolt from the blue sky the pper calmly nad in determined s informed Manager Hanna that ead of the agreed sum for the t, he had raised the “ante” double ht he had asked in the beginning. lizing the perilous position that ss Boxing” was occupying, Man- r Hanna agreed to pay him, there- preventing the occurance of an- r flasco. Hayes, through his tac- last evening, has probably bid ell to local rings, for in employ- such tactics he has placed himself position that will be looked upon jh suspicion by any promoter of n sport in this state. ‘““Red” Mc- ald, who met Hayes in the curtain per, won more friends in a night In Mr. Hayes ever attained locally, the exnibition that he put up nst his opponent who, as in the t, was satisfled to take the affair a joke until he received several d wallops from the sturdy ‘‘sorrel [ped” boy. The bout was termed raw by the fans, but in giving Mr. ves this decision it s probably due his former popularity, for in Mac met a boy who stood toe to toe h him and in several rounds he Jpensed more than he received. his “blood money” calmly and at- tempted to offer lame excuses why he demanded the extra purse, but when letters of acknowledgement of past acts of kindness from Mr. Hanna were exhibited, the boxer simply hung his head as if in shame and pleaded for a chance to come back here and fight another opponent at the next show, but to Mr. Hayes it is ‘“cur- tains” as far as returning here is con- cerned. Rocco Wins Again. Joe Rocco, th& wonderful Italian champ from Hartford, again demonstrated that heis in a class by Allen in four rounds after administer- ing a healthy walloping in each of the stanzas. Referee Willis after one minute and fifty-five seconds of mill- ing in the fourth stanza stopped the fray to prevent a knockout. The card announced that Harry Stanley was to be Rocco’s opponent but lack of condition prevnted him from appearing. At the close of the mill the defeated pugllist addressed fight I have had in five months. I took another fellow's place tonight, and if you think I deserve another is Allen and not Stanley and I would like to fight herc again, Marto Tikes Beating. Johnny Marto although taking a terrific beating at the hends of Wal- ter Mohr, stamped himself as one of the gamest boys who cver climbed through the ropes of a ring. Monr won in a waik there being no question of thir, and it his opponent had been built ef the type of many boxers who are prone to quit under fire, he would have had a K. O. against his record to- da; Pounded from pillar to post in every round the gallant Italian never winced under the fussilade of blows reigned on him and, at the conclusion of the fray was standing toe to toe with his faster 2nd younger foe swap- ping blow for blow. Mohr is the best boy that has ever graced a local ring, and his work was apprecigted by all in attendance. There was not a dull | moment throughout the fray and from | gong to gong action of a determined | nature was handed out by the millers. | Mohr excelled his older opponent in | the art of infighting consistently | pounding Marto's ribs and kidneys un- til that secticn of the latter’s anatomy resembled a piece of steak such as is sold in Mike White's or Jack Walsh'’s | catinz cmporiums. At thc end of tae | fray Marto exhibited a badly dam- | aged right hand which was injurcd in | the second round, but he refused to | disclose this to the audience, and kep! pegging away throughout the bout, with but onc hand to defend himself. | The bouts were handled in a cap- | able manner by Referee Willis and the crewd was of an orderly nature, there being no disorder of any kind exhibit- cd. Sergeant Kelly was at the ring- side and through his sound judgment the bouts were allowed to reach the sensible proportions that any one ac- quainted with the game would stand for.

PROTESTS AGAINST BRICKLEY New York Institution Follows Closely on Heels of Williams in Action Against Player. New York, Oct. 27—TFollowing tha course of action adopted by Willlams college last week, New York Univer- sity, it was announced yesterday by athletic authorities, has entered a formal protest to the athletic ofil- cials of Trinity college with regarl to the alleged Ineligibility of Georg: Brickley as a member of its football team, The communication, which was ad- dressed to the Chairman of the Facul- ty Committee on Athletics of Trinlty college, calls attention to the long took | existing athletic relations between the two institutions, for whom it has been the custom for many years to meet in an annual gridiron contest on election day in this ecity: The Violet, as the next team on Trinity’s schedule, while not threat- ening anything to the latter for the violation of the intercollegiate rule which forbids a recognized institu- tion from playing a man generally | conceded to be professional stand- | ing, calls attention to the fact that its Faculty has at all times strictly en- »d this rule and barred men from participating various sports represented at Heights because of ineligibility. The letter to the Trinity draws attention also to the | equitabie basis upon which the game on Election Day will be played, pro- viding professional men are retained on one team and not permitted in | the line-up of the other. The re- quest has further been made to Trin- ity that if any men have been play- ing on its cleven who for any ren- son are inel dle according to the regulations which interpret the pro- fessional of a player ey be withdrawn before the Violet [ test with the Trinity eleven on Tue, day.

Probably by now it has already been ! cverplayed. But there are one or two additional points in the matter that might be brought up for further con- sideration. | | In the first place, LeGore in no | | sense belongs to the collegiate semi- | | pro type, which is still fairly preva- | lent. He is a fine fellow, a clean sportsman and blessed with more money than he needs to use. A finan- clal incentive for him was no incen- at all. i In the second place, LeGore, with ! most of the others involved, went to the Quogue team largely through the desire of Captain Middlebrook of the Yale nine. He asked that they report to him there, because he thought the summer practice would be of help to , the club. It was not as if these men bhad been approached by a summer hotel or had teen out looking for a place to make expenses. They went for two reasons—because their team captain asked them to come and be- cause they loved baseball. In the third place, there enters the | matter of the Yale rule prohibiting ree board for summer ball players. gnorance is no defense under the Legally they were gullty of a violation, Morally they were not, be- cause they had been told by their | captain—who is responsible for the cligibility of team members at Yale— | that everything was proper. And in addition to this, they had before them the example of other college stars in the past from Harvard, Princeton and Yale who had done exactly the same thing without a protest being made. 1 T There was no attempt at conceal- ment. The men played in Yale uni- forms. No one of them figured he was breaking any sort of rule—and in this case the apparent carlessness might well be overlooked, because the rule has always been a vague one at sc many universities, with most of them having widely different regula- tions. So the offense was not only a minor one, but it was also technical and wholly unintentional. To Harvard and Princeton. Considering all these details, con- sidering the character of LeGore and the others, considering the muddled condition of the summer baseball rule, we can see but one fair course ahead for Harvard and Princeton. Yale has had no other course to take. Bhe could afford to consider no plea of any sort. But it would be a very fine, just act on the part of Harvard and Prince- ton to take this stand: To ask Yale to reinstate these men | and then call for a meeting, where a | new set of summer baseball rules might be made that would be definite | and that would apply to all alike. We understand that Harvard is strongly in sympathy with a move- ment to have these men reinstated. Harvard wants LeGore back, because Farvard knows that he is as clean an amateur as any man that will take part in Yale-Harvard-Princeton meeting. | a | ‘ We believe that Princeton must feel ‘thc same way about it. Princeton | should joln with Harvard in asking | that Yale reinstate LeGore and the others and that a definite understand- ing be reached on the summer ball problem that would apply to all alike. Considerable Supposition. Suppose a few years ago one had suggested that within a fairly short period of time McGraw would finish Jast—Mack would finish last—VYale | would be battered up and down the | ficla by all comers, and that on the ! same Saturday afternoon Harvard, Yale, Michigan, Dartmouth and Penn- sylvania would be madly overturned? How much would you have cared to wager against this tip? Of Two Evils—— “Which is worse,” aeks F. L. J, “summer baseball as played by the collegians or winter baseball as played by the magnates?” Which would you rather lose—your left leg or your right arm?

Coach Haughton called the turn. “We have been beating Yale,” he sald, “py using stuff that she had forgot- ten.” !

The Yale team doesn’t The material is there—but not the knowledge of proper play. And, despite the old poker superstition. it's hard to win at a game that you don't know. Michigan had the chance of her ective career to even up for that Har- vard defeat last fall by trimming the eleven that had already beaten Har- vard and checked Haughton's march. She still has that chance—if any one j= willing to believe that Cornell is 24 points weaker than M., A. C. She | still has that chance—but you will find no large blocks of recorded bets upon the game around Ann Arbor on the night of November 5.

Good what? If he means good football teams the weekly scores are sufficient rebuttal. BOWLING RESULTS IN CITY LEAGUE Annex Bow to Live Oaks—Elites Again on Short End—Tigers Claw Way to Victory.
