Gray made singles of 116, 112 and 103, the first named giving him the prize for the day.

GRUELLING BATTLES HAVE FINISHED FIGHTERS Heenan Stopped Sayers’ Career, While Jeffries Closed Fighting Days of Cor- bett, Fitz and Others. “One gruelling battle has often ended &:"’m; of a good game fighter in the prize ring,” said an old New York sport the other evealug, %u:.‘;;‘t:qmmu-w!mm o ald days especially, when pu- gilists fought to a finish with bare knuckles and almost beat each other Tuice, for Tnstance, (st wreat internar or in: terna~ mgl:lr battle utwnx:n John (. Heenan and Tom Bayers. It was Just 49 years ago at mmw&u. They battled for 44 rounds, lasing two hours and 20 minutes, until the ropes were cut to save the gallant Sayers from further butchery. He was beat- en almost to a pulp. His nose was broken, both ‘Wwere blinded and his face and y were covered with bruises. In short poor Sayers was a pitiable sight and was earried from the ring in a helpless condition. This terrible beating really caused Tom to retire from the ring, for he resigned the champlonship to Tom Hurst, who lost the title to Jem Mace the next year. ““Those were the days when pugiiists had to fight, when broken noses and caulifiower ears were considered marks of honor by ring followers of England d America. T might fill several bdoks with other old London rule bat- tles in which men beat one another to a Jelly; but let us come down to more modern gladiators. Jeffries has put several game fellows out of business by his severe punishing power. Tom Sharkey never fully recovered from | the terrific punching Jeff gave htm in | thelr 25 round battle at Coney Isiand, | when Jim smashed the sailor's ribs, | and battered him into such e condition | that he had to be taken to a hospital. Sharkey was never the same after this fierce struggle, and he seon quit the ring. After the heavy walloping Gus Ruhlin received from Jeff in 'Fris n 1901 the German gave up the t and retired from the fistio avens. lin told me the terrific smash Jeft landed in his stomach settied the whole business. “Jim Corbett also recetved his finish from the blg boiler marker in a ten round battle at 'Frisco the seme year. After that beating, which resulted in a knookout, Jim concluded to seek a more agreeably way of getting the coin. I don't believe there is amy in- ducement that could drag Corbett back to the fighting game. Jeffries also set- tled old Bob Fitzsimmons’, ring career the last time they met on 'the coast in 1902. It's true that Itz gave the big fellow a good punohing, but some of the wallops that Jeff handed him in return broke the old fellow's heart and he's never put up a good fight since. “Poor little orge Déwen should never have been allowed to go up against Terry MoGovern wh his fighting days were practically over.and his physique was almost all gone. Ter- ry at that time was just ia his prime, and he went at the gallant Dixon with such vigor that he simply slaughtered him fn eight merciless rounds. The terrific punching Dixon received that night put a sad finish to his great ea- reer in the ring. His wiiting spirit was gone and he went down step by step to an early grave. “Another pitiful sight for old fight- goers was the unequal battle between game Jack Dempsey and Fitzsimmons at New Orleans in 1891. Fitz looked like a gorilla that night as he stood head and shoulders over The Non- parell. Jack had never seen Lanky Bob unt!l he faced him in that rin | but 1f he had T think he woudd h: i d h As I'vd so often de a weiterweight. He could do 140 pounds and be good and fit and if he had staved in his class he would never have suffered a defeat: hut Jack was proud and amihitions. He was olso the soul of honqr. and the man who suggested a faké to him usually had to fight then and there. When one of his friends wemt to his corner and hinted that he could fix it with Fits for & draw. Dempsey turned in anger and said: “I'll win or lose on the level” Bob begged Juck (. quit ssaim and again during the one sided mill, but The Nonuarefl positively refused to do s0, saying: ‘You must knock me out betore I'll quit’ In the 13th round Fitz put the poor fellow away: I nev- er saw such a heart broken man as Dempsey was when he came to his senses in hig dressing room. It was his first and only downfall. s oried like a child and then raged ltice a wild animal. ‘His heart was brokes, his body wae battersd and bruised and his glortous ring eareer was over. Jack Dempeey was never the same man after that. He pined away into a quicke consumption and died at Port- land, Oregon, where he lies without a headstone. Brush Banking on Indlan Catche: John T. Brush of the New York Na. tionals says: “We had a good nine jast year, and I am quite sure that we hare a better nine this year. I should like to say that the achlevements of Juck Myers, the Indfan cateher, have mnot ‘been exaggerated by New York corregpondents. He 8 ome of the greatest batters 1 have ever had on| any team since I have heen In base- bail.
