Hove, England, April, §.—Charley Mitchell, one-time middleweight cham- pion of England,. died here today of locomotor ataxia,’@ ° Cha.rley Mitchell was born at Bir- mingham, England, November 24, 1861. Although he fought many ring battles against big men like Sullivan, Corbett, | Cardiff. McCaffery, Kilrain and Burke, Mitchell was a middleweight pugilist, never turning the scales at more than 154 pounds when in perfect condition. His remarkable fast footwork. and skilful boxing offset this advantage in weight and he proved to be-equally effective as a punisher when fighting either with or without padded gloves. Mitchell's first ring Battle was with bare knuckles when at the age of 13 He bout lasing almost one hour. s|scored several other victories during the two following years in bouts in ” | England and on the gontinent. After winning the middleweight and heavyweight championships of Eng- land in 1882. Mitchell came to America - {in 1883 with the intention of challeng- The stature of the “Brummagen Lad,” as he was then called, did not impress the American followers of pugilism, but when Mit- chell met and defeated Mike Cleary, a New York heavyweight, in three rounds, he was quickly accepted as an opponent for Sullivan. These two met :at the Madison Square Garden in a four round -glove fight, under Marquis of Queensberry rules on May 14, 1883. ! The Britsh boxer surprised the 12,000 spectators by meeting Sullivan’s ter- i rific rushes in the opening rounds. and after some heavy exchanges he scored a clean knockdown with a perfectly timed right smash to Sullivan’s jaw, sending the Boston man to the ring floor amid the wildest excitement. This was Sullivan’s first experience of a knockdown by an opponent and it happened toward the close of the first round. Sullivan rushed and roughed the visitor during the second Tound and threw Mitchell over the ropes twice. Sullivan, with left swing to the jaw, knocked Mitchell down twice in_the third round and with another left she had Mitchell hanging over the iropes. when the police stopped the bout. Mitchell always insisted that he would have been able to continue had the police not interfered and he ever ceased to challenge Sullivan un- the latter consented to another encounter which took place five years later at Chantilly, France, on March 10 1888. This was Mitchell's greatest ring effort. They fought with bare knuck- les for $2,500 a side and the bout lasted three hours and eleven minutes. Mitchell drew first blood. in the eighth round but Sullivan got the credit of the only knockdown during the, fight which was declared a draw by Referee B. J. Angle of London. After James J. Corbett had won the world’s championship from Sullivan in; 1892, Mitchell challenged him for the title and at Jacksonville, Fla.. on Jan- uary 25, 1894, Corbett knocked out the Englishman in the third round. This was Mitchell's last fight in the ring, e as he returned to England and en gaged in business there up to the time of his demise. FAVORITES WIN AT PINEHURST. Scofield of Stamford ond: Robeson of Rochester Win Matches In North _and South Tournament. Pinehurst, N. C,, April 3.—E. L. Sco- field of Stamford and Irving S. Robe- son of Rochester, the two favorites in the upper bracket of the first match round of the north and south champ- ionship golf tournament won their matches easily here today. Scofield, the medalist in the qualifying round, defeated Howard G. Phillips of Pine- hurst, 8 and 6. Robeson beat Guy A. Dr. C. H. Gardner of Providence, Miller of Detroit, 4 and 3. who had been generally expected to come through to the finals in the low- er bracket, was beaten 4. and 3 by R. A. Stranahan of Toledo. The Eastern League should benefit by reaping in some of the stars of the old Barrow circuit. Providence, for many years a .member of fthe International, will no doubt jump_into Dan O’'Neil's merger outfit. Next’ week the Eastern crowd, figure on a meeting in Springfield which will also decide what is going to be done about baseball this year. Several of the clubs are ready to start while a few are up against it for players from last year’s team who have been called in the draft. Fans have been on the anxious seat for some time past as to what chances there is for an Eastern League’s cir- cuit. Coach Abbott’s View on Rowing. Professor Mather Abbott, Yale's row- coach says in the Yale News: “The only excuse that the authori- ties have for instituting organized sport at these two universities again is that we find it necessary for the morale and good healfh of the college that the students should be urged to undertake athletic sports, and these sports will merely be the handmaid of | military or naval training. We there- fore enter organized sport, not with the old purpose of defeating our hereditary rivals but merely with the purpose of turning out men in the best physical condition to- undergo the strain of modern warfare.” in, { Wanted: A Horseshoe or Rabbit’s Foot A. B. McHenry, utility outfielder of the Cincinnati National league team is getting all kinds of bumps these days. On Wednesday he had his nose jbroken by a batted ball at the Reds’ | training camp, and while nursing this injury was comforted by the announce- ment that he would not have to, fur- ther endanger that organ again. this season, as Manager Matty has releas- ed him to the Milwaukee team of the American Association. McHenry was secured from the Milwaukee club last fall. MARKET CONTINUED DULL Rails Were Cunsplcuous For Their Extreme Backwardness. New York, April 3—For all practi- cal purposes today’s stock market was little :more than a duplicate of the previous day. Trading was a trifle more active and diversified, but the tone was hesitant on the further ab- sence of decisive advices from abroad. Rails were conspicuous for their ex- treme backwardness, Canadian Pacific being the only important issue, to vary so much as a point. trend in that division was downward, coalers losing substantial fractions, but hardening toward the close. U. S. Steel, which yielded leadership to such speculative issues as Sumatra Tobacco and Studebaker, traversed a very narrow area, while Sumatra regi- stered an extreme gain of three points and Studebaker advanced 1%. Pools relieved the monotony by oc- casional diversions in spécial stocks, Industrial Alcohol, distillers’ Securit- ies and malting preferred gaining be- tween one and two points. General Motors improved on Studebaker’s bet- ter showing. and minor metals derived some stimulus form a four point rise in Natioanl Lead. Shipping steadied on relaxation of |\ recent pressure and prominent equip- ments were featured by American Car and Baldwin Locomotive, at extreme gains of 1% to 2 points, American Can oldo advancing one point and Atlantic Gulf 2%. Sales amounted to 180000 shares.
