LEAG Round Heads. 86 51 11 O'CLOCK SPECIAL. The final heat was a wild dash from the bark of the starter's gun. When the pack entered the last turn it was anybody’s race. Down the stretech Staff, McLean, Lamy and McGowan sped. the tape broke as the four men hurled themselves against it. There was a hurried conference of the 14 Jjudges, Staff, McLean, Lamy was the verdict. Then came a second cenference, this time among tHe holders of the watches. They announced that Staff had established a new world's record. The bitter cold weather prevented any record breaking in the five-mile event. The pack, however, failed to take this handicap into consideration and left the start at a pace that would have done credit to any short distance event. The first half-mile mark sound- ed the death-knell for the hopes of Woedward Sutphen of Leng Branch, N. J., Norval Baptie of Winnipeg and Don Baker of Brooklyn. Osickie still lingered, but long before he skated o tha rink during the third mile, his chances of winning had disappeared. With Osickie gone the stage was clear for the struggle of the big four. Indian fashion they dashed along. Staff, McLean, Lamy and McGowan was the order held until within three laps of the finish. At that point Staff, who had led the field the greatest number of laps in every mile except the second, had enough.

After 2 minutes and 3 seconds of the sixth round Cur. tin sank to the floor of the ring, his face writhed in ‘pain, ahd claimed foul. Tremaine had driven a long, sweeping left hook almed at the body. With the punch Curtin gasped and sank to the floor, He regained his feet, and, throwing his arms about the neck of Referee Patsy Haley, clung to the ring official to save himself from falling. The crowd of about 15,000 persons which paid 841,205 in net r ceipts to see the battle, was in an up- roar, Divided Opinions Opinions among the critics at the ringside was divided as to the legally of the blow. The opinien of the erowd, likewise was divided. Some at the | ringside dectared the blow was foul, others sald it was fair, Referce Haley was undecided. He assisted Curtin to his corner and called for Dr. J. T. Walker, official State Athletic Com- mission physician. Dr. Walker found no indication of a foul on his super- ficial examination and.so instructed Haley. Then Haley causéd it to be, announced that he was compelled un- der the circumstances, to lwnrd the | contest to Tremaine. “I saw no foul blow struck,” uld Haley after the bout. “There was | nothing 1 could do, therefore,” but award the bout to Tremaine since Curtin had stopped boxing.” . ‘The crowd took the decision with mingled expressions of feeling. There | was no outburst of 'disapproval. Rather the crowd gave itself ovér to a demonstration of acclaim for Tre- maine, who was the brilliant vietor in the battle as far as it went. The spec- tators also gave a rousing' cheer for Curtin because of his game showing in an uphill struggle. " Tremaine Clearly Outpoints Rival While the bout lasted Treémaine demonstrated to the satisfaction of ,one of the largest crowds the Garden | has held this season that he was clearly Curtin’s master. He subjected the little Jersey City boxer to a severe bombardment of rights and lefts to !the face and stomach as openings presented themselves.
