Putnam, Jan. 28.—Three boxing ex- hibitions were put on in St, John's hall Thursday evening under the au- spices of the Putnam Social and Ath- letic club. A capaeity house was out to enjoy the sport,” which was keenly appreciated. The preliminary was a wrestling match between Joe Breault and Peter Magnan and was scheduled to go 15 minutes, It lasted a little over 10 minutes, when Breault pinned his man with a half Nelson. The first boxing bout was between Denny Ryan of Cambridge and Young Oliwver of Boston. They were supposed to go six rounds, but in the middle of the second round Oliver gave up the unequal contest. Peter Fifield of Prov v West of Iast Providence went 10 lively rounds. Fifield was muclt the heavier of the two, who were sup- posed to weigh 145 pounds. Fifield gave his opponent a good argument and the bout was the best of the evening. The final was an eight round exhi- bition at 118 pounds hetween George Alger, the Boston boxer, and Young Dyson of Providence. Dyson looked good to the sports. but Alger made a clever showing and evidently did not extend himself to his it. There were no decisions. Stanton' Abbott of Providence was referee. During the idence and Har- 98, which gives him high total for the week so far with 317. BEST MARATHON YET. When Longboat Meets Shrubb—Race Postponed Till Feb. 5. ‘When Tom Longboat, the Indian, and Alfred Shrubb, the Englishman, come together in theiir Marathon race, which has been postponed to Friday, Feb. bth, followers of the Marathon craze are looking for the greatest race on rec- rd. o Shrubb holds every professional dis- tance record-from 2,000 yards up to 11 miles, He has never been beaten in competition. He is now coach at Harvard and is showing the aspiring young university men down in Cam- bridge how to eat up the ground be- fore breakfast. He is not tall, but not- withstanding his slight stature he has a stride of more than five feet. He has beaten relays of the best profes- sional runners in this country and in Canada. Longboat has never, as far as the records show, been pushed to his lim- it of spesd. The Indian has done some remarkable work aside from his spec- tacular defeat of Dorando in Madison Squar2 Garden and at Buffalo. He has run_horsss off their feet at county fairs in Canada and in upper New York. A comparison of the physical make- evening Denny Ryan _challenged to meet any boy in New England at 130 pounds and was accepted by Harry West of Providence. Morris _Lamoine of TWebster thal- lenged Jimmy Briggs of Chelsea. Mass., and the pair will probably be matched in the near future. DRISCOLL BEATS MARTO. Englishman Closed Opponent’s Eye in Fifth—Needed a Good Punch to Put Him Out. Jem Driscol] of New York, Jan. 28. champion of Wale featherweight England, made his second New York appearance at the Fairmont A. C. to- night, and defeated Johnny Marto of this city In ten fast rounds. The fight went the limit, but throughout the Englishman had decidedly the better of it, In the fifth round he closed Marto's eye and from then on his work was play. Had Driscoll had a good punch he would have knocked his opponent out speedily. GERMAN OAK THROWS THREE. Siegfried Makes Quick Work of Trio of New York Wrestlers. New York Jan. 28.—FErnest Sieg- fried, the German wrestler, a recent pires to the title of world’s champion heavyweight wrest- ler, appeared at Madison Square gar- den tonight in a series of exhibition matches.

Harry Tuthill, physical director of the National Athletic club, trainer of the champion Detroit Tigers and long famous as a handler of champion fighters, supplies a highly interesting chapter to the present day gossip re- garding Jim Jeffries, says Bob Edgren in the New York Journal. “I Lope Jeft stays retired,” says Tuthill, “because they never get good after a long lay- off.” Which means that Tuthill would probably not advise Jeffries to tackle Jack Johnson. “Jim Jeffries could beat Tommy Burns without training any more than getting a hair cut,” says Tuthill. “He could beat John L. Suilivan the best day John ever knew. He is the great- est prize fighter that ever lived. Pic- ture a man weighing 220 pounds, per- fectly proportioned, who can do the 100 yards dash in 10 1-2 seconds, who has never been knocked off his feet, who can outbox Jim Corbett, supposed to be the fastest heavyweight the ring has known, and you have Jim Jeffries.” “There will never be another Jeffries unless circumstances so shape them- selves that conditions can be repegted. Jeffries was the outcome of“a.pectliar condition in the fighting game. Slow at First. “The study of the fighter is a fasci- nating one. Just take this giant as a sample. His people were lowly, per- haps, but refined. His father was a minister. Jeffries, when he started out, showed none of this innate bramn power. It was undeveloped. He had the remarkable physique and that was all. He began fighting and at the time when he started out there was a re- markable bunch of heavies doing busi- ness. There were Fitzsimmons, and Corbett, and Sharkey, and Ruhlin, and McCoy, and Ryan, and many, many Any one of them could have whipped the best in the ring today. “Under these conditions Jeffries was taken in hand by the three wisest men in the fizhiing game—Delaney, Brady jafd Tommy Ryan. Delaney worked | with him to keep him in healthy con- dition. Brady taught him to save his money and showed him how to live, tality.” And, to finish this, Tommy Ryan, with that wicked way of his, used to take him into the gymnasium | day after Gay and deliberately cut him to ribbons. ‘The work of Delaney re- tained for him his wonderful strength, the work of Brady brought out his in- telligence and made him reason against the attacks of Ryan. The work of Ryan toughened him and brought out his wonderful speed. Corbett Too Refined. “The brainless fighter is a sad dub. Yet the man who by education devel- oped his brain too much is not the ideal fighter. Take Jim Corbett, for instance. He Is a brainy man. He, thereforeswas too high strung to b a | fighter like Jeffries or Fitzsimmons, ' He had had too much of the ‘animal’ educated out of him. He reasoned that he could keen from being punished. i Jim Corbett could use a terrific punch if he wanted to. but he figured that hitting and getting away was much [ better for him. Fe was too refined. | Take Joe Grim as the other extreme. | He was of such a low grade of men- | tality that he had no reasoning power. A blow on the jaw that gave pain brought no response from the brain. He just dimly fieured that he had been hit, and his only desire was to hit the | man who did it. the man of his| brain power the senses are dulled. Jeffries a Happy Medium. “Jeffries was the happy medium. He was a man of native intelligence, but his early environment had not permit- ted him to develop, for he left home and roughed it most of his life. “After reaching manhood with all his en In hand by the -4, six months 3 per‘ wonderful animal strength he was tak- | near Bl Pa's:. wizards of the zame inh power A ‘only in the one channel, that of fight- ing. Donce aroused he startled the warld by the rapidity with which he learned. BSlowly but surely he becavie too cunning and swift for Ryan to trouble him. The blows of the uid fox were blocked, or when they did land the toughened frame gave no response. It was the evolution of the greaaest of all fighting machines. He went the route learning from all of them. Sharkey Was Game. ‘When he first fought Tom Sharkey, as tough and game a man as ever stepped into a ring, it was almost a standoff. But he developed rapidiy after that. The second time he fought Sharkey he should have been in the hospital instead of in the rinpg. But he crushed in the sailor's ribs, and Tom F%never been able to fight silnce. That s, ow hard he can hit. “As to his sped and ability as™a box- er, the last time he fought Corbett he outboxed the man supposed to be the cleverest in that line. Jeffries was the result of an intelligent parentage, a wonderful body and an early environ- ment which did not permit his brain power to develop until he was matur- ed, the ‘animal’ fighting nature of primeval man being retained intact. “I meag to take nothing from Sulli- van, whe}l say Jeffries would have beaten him'in a few rounds, for Sulli- van was a vicious fighter. But John L. won his fights by knocking down his opponent’s guard with a sweep of his left arm and crossing his right. What chance on earth would he ever have had to do that with a man like Jeffrie: twice as strong, as fast a sa light- welght, and cunning as Tommy Ryan? Freckled Bob’s Hard Punch. “Jeffries once told me, after he had lef the game, that the hardest punch he ever got in his life was from Bob Fitzsimmors. “ “That red head,’ he said, ‘could hit harder than any man who bver wore gloves. It was toward the close of a round-in that last fight when he land- ed the blow. It cavght me between the eves and I staggered. The bell rang just then and I dragged myself to the corner. I leaned against the ropes and was afraid to put my hand to my head. I thought my skull had been splintered to little pieces, and they were piercing my brain. My whole forehead seemed to be as soft and mushy as a sponge. I kept won- dering how I retained my sense: “Jeffries gave me that as an honest opinion, and yet he recuperated so quickly that he went in and beat Bob to a plum. There is but one Jeffries, and the way the fighting game is de- teriorating 1 don’t think there will ever bé even the slightest chance for another one. THE ROUNDHOUSE THROW Not Favored by Best Players to Re- turn Ball from the Outfield. One thing about the throwing in baseball that foreigners can't under- stand is why the players, in getting the ball to the plate from the outfield, almost invariably throw it low and maie it strike the ground a yard or so in front of the plate. The baseball players claim that a ball thown on the line and made to “shoot” off the ground will reach the catcher quicker thap a ball thrown to him on the fly. Some years ago there was a dispo- sition to dispute this tiheory, but the general practice of the strong-arm players in making the ball “shoot” off the ground proves that they believe their idea is correct. “Round-house” throws, tohse loop-the-loop affairs which weak-armed outficlders have to resort to, seldom catch a base runner, while the low, ground-bumping throws do =0 in almest every game. Last season a team of real Cubans came to this country and this subject was widely discussed by them and the home players. The Cubans could not be made to believe a low-thrown ball, | which hit the ground before reaching the catcher, was the fastest method of getting it from-the outfield. They simply would not believe but that the “round-house” method even when it was illustrategsto them time and again. One day the Cubans played Jimmy Callahan’s Logan Square team. Dur- ing the game Callahan, who was play- ing left field, had a chance to throw out a slow runner who tried to score from third base on the fiy. Callahan thought he would guy the fo and he made a “round-hous and caught the runner at the plate. After that no one, even the one with the tongue of an orator, could con- vince the Cubans that the ‘round- house” throw was not the best. STRIPPED OF ROMANCE. An English Opinion of Fighting Modern Style, “8. B.,” writing in the London Stan- dard, has this 1o say on the subject of “playing the game’ When money takes precedence of sport—sport that is good, wholesome, and rings out tales of chivalry—sport dies inevitably and completely. We have prattled long and unceasingly about the Burns-Johnson fight. It was not sport; Johnson, the winner, was no hero. He does not typify the “noble art;” neither does Burns; both men fought spitefully, disgracefully, for a huge purse. Burns suffered him- self to be battered—for £6,000. And the promoters are gloating over the success of their enterprise—they en- joy the difference between £7,000 and some £26,000 taken at the “gate.” And they are now scouring the country offering a fortuns to any mar who will stand up to the great, big black man from Texas. The old fashioned “pug” with the twisted nose and wire hair— the strange creature that used to fight for “my lord"—stood out as a man full of character in a world that knew no ballast. When you think of Heenan, Sayers, Mace and the gia of the prize ring, and know their h tory, their two-sided character, the modern fighter, who wears an apology for a glove, and who crouches, hugs. and has none of that fine, upstancing guard of the old brigade, is stripped of romance. And he is a s crochety, petted child, whose liking for a “good mill" is not inbred; trade first and last, and a sorry tr.de E";llfl at the best. TURF AND TRACK.
