Jess Willard knocked out Soldier Kearns in the elghth round of a scheduled ten round bout at Madison Square Garden to- night. The knockout came suddenly. Kearns landed a hard left to the ribs and a right to the neck. The blow appeared to anger the Texas fighter and he im- mediately rushed and in a mixup brought a left hook up under Kearns' chin and followed it quickly right hook|. XKearns dropped back- warg and was counted out. Little Real Boxing, Neither fighter showed much know- ledge of boxing. Willard, who had an advantage of half a foot in height, missed many of his swings. Kearns played mostiy for the body, but wast- ed his blows on Willard's arms. The weights were, Willard 221 and Kearns 1986, ‘Willard scored a knockdown in the first round with a right hook to jaw, but Kearns rose immediately. the fifth both men were tired. Jard drew blood with a left jab to Kearns' nose. Kearns after missing with a wild swing, floundered to the floor on all fours. No Need of Interference. Sheriff Harburger of New York county attended the bout in his official ocapacity and watched the contest closely but made no move to interfere. After the bout he said he had seen no reason whatever for interference. During the afternoon he had received a telegram from Governor Dix which read: “T have just received from a respon- sible source a telegram in the follow- ing term: “‘A prize fighter engaged to appear in a public contest at Madison Square Garden Friday night, has made the fog- lowing statement over his signature: 1 will lick Willard with the first punch #f I can.

John McGraw has not lost faith in the Giants in spite of the many stories that have emanated from those who hope that the team will prove to be weaker than it was last season. While the little Napoleon was vaudevilling in Cincinnati last week he was interview- ed by a couple of reliable critics. To them he said: “Of course, 1 think the Giants will win thé pennant again. | This is not an idle claim. I see no reason why we should not do so, al- though I am admit that Pitts- burg and Ci may make things interesting for us. “A good many our pitching staff is break, but I think that is a mistaken judgment.

St. Louis Browns and Cardinals Will | Not Meet in Spring. The major !eagua season of 1912 was prolific of contests between teams of the National and American leagues, but there is a likelihood that the year of 1912 will be minus at least one sprihg series. That will probably be the one between the St. Louis Browne and Car- dinals. No less a person than Miller Huggins. successor to Roger Bresna- han, has gone on record as saying that he does not favor a pre-season clash and that he will vote against such a series being played. He takes the time and trouble to explain that it is not fear of the pitching prowess of Hamilton, Baumgardner, Allison and Weliman, those wonderful young twirl- s of George Stovall, that prejudices him against the spring games. “The so-called city championship can be decided in the fall,” says Hug- gins. “There is a time for evervthing. Assuredly the spring is not psycholo- glcally the season to play a series of games for the St. Louis title. The teams have to return from the south two weeks ahead of ‘the ordinary schedule in order to play the game. The weather in 8t. Louis, weather bu- reau history shows, has been raw and inclement. The result is that the play- ers are retarded rather than aided in thelr tralning, and begin the National league season poorly equipped physi- cally to compets with their rivals.” The Philadeiphia Athletics and Quakers meet in annual pre-season games In Philadelphia, where if any- thing the weather is more unpropi- tious than In St. Lo No one would be foalish enough to cite that either the Mackites or Quaker plavers have Tes- | Herrmann | been | FINANGIAL AND COMMERGIAL 4 | ONLY SLIGHT MOVEMENT. | Day of Smail Business With No Specu- lative interest in Sight. | New \.m | in prices : | the close « the st part los: | standard stoc ‘nmwm»m was sligh day of unus utter lac [t | among Eeet Su- k from a time railroad shares rength and i in keeving metal abroad, smali and short | the | gar, Can and | one to four points early in the the gave some Indications of s | the coppers moved upwa with the advance in but the rise was duration | Money the fluctuated was at in an erratic 10 per cent., |12 3. per cent, t of the year.
