10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 1. 1906. SPORTS| NEIL STOPS TENNY IN FOURTEENTH ROUND VICTOR SHOWS CLASS OVER VANQUIS Has Decided Lead Over His Opponent From First to Last of Fighting. Billy Jordan Makes a Hit by Collecting for an Unfortunate Family. Fr. Neil American bantam- woight champlon, demonstrated to & great .crowd in Mechanics’ Pavilion last night what the designation “class” means in & boxer. It was apparent from the start that Neifl outclassed his opponent, Harry Tenny, and the outcome of their fight was hardly in doubt at any stage of the proceedings. Nefl finally stopped his an in the fourteenth round after having | = decidad Jead at all ‘times. He was so much the superior of Tenny that he was allowed to map out his plan of campaign at will and was always the Gominant factor. Tenny showed by his manner of fighting that he recognized in | Nefl his master. He did not cut loose with that viciousness which he has shown in all his short battles. It was apparent that Neil had improved greatly since their Jast meeting, while Tenny had if anything Jost the ageressiveness which he showed at Colma. According to George Harting, the of- ficial timekeeper, Tenny was counted out twice, but Referee Roche declined to de- clare him out the first time, as he was nearly in an upright position as the fatal tenth gpecond was tolled off. While Tenny had shown all the signs of & defeated boxer for some rounds, the spectators were hardly prepared for the | end when it came.

Neil was standing over his opponent the end came and lifted him up | tenderly and helped carry him to his| corner. After the stress of combat was | over, Tenny collapsed completely and his | seconds carried him from the ring in a | semi-unconscipus condition. Barly in the fight Nefl injured Tenny's | eye and he kept up a cruel bom- nent of the injured optic until the | h round, when the eye went com- | out of commission. This was a | severe - handicap to the carly-haired| youngster, but the outcome would have | been the same no matter if both' eyes | bad been in commission. ~Nefl showed | great ring generalship from the start| and was able to outfeint his opponent at | stage of the proceedings. This gave him a decided advantage, as when he had | Tenny thoroughly tangled up he would | land a quick right and left to the head | or else a crushing blow to the body. | Throughout the greater part of the fight he paid the most attention to the body | and had a deep scarlet ring around| Tenny's waist after the first few round&‘\ He did not neglect his face, which was painted a deep carmine by the blood which flowed freely from nose and mouth. | At times Neil was so anxious to stop | his man that he threw aside his guard and Tenny was able to Jand on him, but | never so effectively as to reduce Neil's | speed. The latter seemed to have his | man hypnotized, once he sailed into| him. The spectators were always ex- | pecting Tenny to start a whirlwind affair, but the clevern of | Bis opponen: seemed to nip any such display of aggressiveness in the bud FIGHT STARTS SLOWLY. The fighters hardly warmed up in| the first five rounds. but after that| there was all the actioh any one could | Gesire. There was an earnestness about the majority of the.reunds that kept the spectators quiet, but when the boys started mixing it a mighty roar would go up. Although the fighters -occupied the center of the stage, fhe real hero of | the evening was Billy Jordan, the vet- eran announcer. Before-'the main event he quietly. called out the names of a pumber of well-known boxers,-and the spectators could hardly - understand what it all meant when they saw the gggregation which ranged from mighty heavy-welghts down to tiny bantams. WWhen Billy had them all in the ring he announced that a colléction would be taken up for the widow and the six | chfidren of James Pasterson. who lost s life on the ill-fatéd steamer Valep- cia mome weeks &go. The sound of Billys voice had hardly subsided before Mike (Twin) Bulllvan pressed a. ten- dollar mote into his hand. . Al Kauf- mann quickly followed with ten dollars, Eddie Hanlon was oheered when he passed over & shining twenty to Jor- dan, Sam Berger - gave “ten, Frankio Nell twenty, Joe Gans twenty, Jimmy Britt twenty, Willie Britt twenty, C.

The boxers then passed around the hat, and in a few minutes they returned to the ring and poured a silver shower of which any bride might be proud at the feet of the rotund master. of cere- monies. After a time all were account- ed for except Mike Sullivan, and some one had the temerity to suggest that he had run out on Billy Jordan. -About the same time there was a commotion in the gallery and Mike was seen rap- idly making his way through the big crowd there. He was soon in the ring with a load of silver that was over- flowing his hat and was cheered for his industry. - When the final tally was made Billy Jordan had the proud honor to announce that a total of $621.25 had been contributed to - the deserving widow and her young children. One of the incidents of the coin-col- lecting came when the two seconds of the boxers tossed for choice of corners. The redoubtable Spider Kelly produced a fifty-cent plece and spun it high in the air. They had time to notice that Kelly had won the choice when Billy Jordan swooped down on the coin and added it to the collection then in pro- gress. TENNY FORCES FIGHT. When the boxers were sent together in the first round Tenny started force matters. Neil stood bolt upright for a short time and boxed with him and then assumed a crouch which he used for the major part of the fight. Both boys seemed nervous and no dam- age was done in the first round, in which honors were even. Tenny tried many times early in the second round for a left to the head, but Neil blocked successfully. Tenny then sent a right to the body, but got & hard right and left in return. Neil caught Tenny a right clip to the jaw and stag- gered him, as he was off his balance at the time the blow landed. Neil sent his left to the body twice, and Tenny jab- bed him four times in succession to the head. Tenny was having the best of the milling at the end of the round. THe third was Neil's round, but nei- ther did@ much damage. Tenny was the first to get Into action for the fourth round, but quickly went to the ropes from a left to the body. Neil staggered him after working the famous Fitz- simmons shiff. At this early stage of the fight Tenny’s right eye was prepar- ing to go out of commission. The spec- tators thought Tenny had the best of it early in the fifth round, as Neil stum- bled after a hard right to the body. He came back, however, and both mixed- it in a slugging match. Tenny scored his first effective blow in this round when he landed a right to the body that raised Nefl off his feet. . Tenny followed this up with two straight leads to the head, both of which landed. Early in the sixth round Tenny turned Neil completely around- with a blow to the head, and rushed him across the ring. Neil came back fighting desperately and landed his left many times to the head and body in an effort to stop his man. NEIL WORKS SHIFT: Neil worked the shift again in the gev- enth round and hurt Tenny badly, as he on to avoid further punishment. il ‘was knocked down in this round with a right half uppercut, which came from the hip and shook him up a bit. It was not quite flush to the jaw, but it might have been disastrous, Neil - kept . peppering Tenny’s badly puffed eye in the eighth round. Near the { middle of the round both missed terrific | swings. Tenny led with left and right early in the ninth and landed a right partly to the face and shoulders which was not as effective as the spectators thought. Neil then walked into a®hard left and landed his left twice to the head. Neil landed two vicious lefts and drove Tenny into a corner. Tenny came out fighting and Neil was so anxious to land on him that he did not try to guard him- self. As‘a comsequence he got a hard right to the mouth that made him bleed. Neil landed innumerable times in the tenth without return. Early in the elev- enth round Neil said to his opponent, “You're a flerce looking object. You don’t feel as good tonight as you did | down at Colma.”. Tenny seemed to have lost ‘all judgment of distance, missed three swings. TENNY HURTS NEIL. Tenny walked up to Neil in the twelfth and landed a right to the head, which hurt his opponent. Tenny landed another left to the head as they broke out of a clinch. Near the end of the round Neil had his man almost helpless on the ropes. as he The spectators thought the fight would | end in the thirteenth as Neil went at his {man to finish him. He staggered Tenny with a right and left to the bedy and rushed him across the ring. Neil put in | two terrible lefts to the head and had Tenny mnearly out. Neil then walked slowly and deliberately after his tired opponent and measured each blow as if he expected it to be the last. The gong finally saved Tenny. The end came early in the fourteenth round after Tenny had been beatem into utter helplesspess. Jerry Fairbanks and Jack Jackman, newsboys, put up one.of the funpiest bouts seen in the pavilion and put the spectators in good humor. Jackman; & colored lad, was the lighter in weight. Fairbanks bustled him all over the ring in the first round, knocking him down several timés. After that the colored man improved and Referee Red Harrington called it a draw. Danny Lynch, a much tattooed young man, stopped Kid Hart in the third round. He caught the Jatter off his guard in the second round and knocked him down and the rest of the affair was only a cake walk for him. —_—— BATTLE FULL OF INCIDENTS. st i Both Lads Wade In Until the Fatal Mo- | ment Arrives. The battle wes a spectacular one all the way, replete with startll inci- dents and punches of all varieties. Neil seemed to -have the class on Tenny, and wen solely on his merits. Follow- ing s a description of the fight by round FIRST ROUND.- After fiddling, Tenny led with left and they gparred cautiously. A clmnch foliowed and Vel corn to | | tried a left hook, but it was emothers, -ing “Tenny with stiff left to HED FOE covered up and took good care of a shower of shorf-arm left and right swings Intended for the jaw.

Tenny drove his left to the face, but Neil retaliated with thres straight lefts to the body and an instant later drove in another left to thé same place. Tenny was willing to mix and met Neil's advances with four straight lefts in quick succession to Frankie's face. Neil covered up and went to close quarters to check Tenny's efforts, but recelved a hard left clout just as the bell rang. Neil had an early advantage, but Tenny turned the tables and emerged from the fray with the bonors in his favor. THIRD ROUND. Neil, after some clinching, shot his right to the wind and they mixed at close quarters, Tenny driving his right twice to the head. Nefl tried his Jeft for the body and then twice for the face, but Tenny was not thers as the blows spent their force. In a mix-up they exchanged rights to the fice. They stood in the center of the ring, both fighting hard and willingly and Nefl sent Tenny's head back with a left swing and then ghot two hard lefts quickly to the body.

Mixin, Neil put in a short-arm right jolt to the body and they clinched. Crouching low, Frankie whipped two terrific left swings to the jaw and then a left to the body, after which they clinched. Neil was chain-lightning and Tenny could not avoid his onslaughts. They were fighting and blocking when the gong clanged and the round gave Neil & big advantage. Tenny's right eyo was consid- erably ewollen and discolored as he went to his cormer. FIFTH ROUND.

He repeated the blow a moment later and then brought the blood from Tenny's mouth with a left swing. Neil shot & straight left to the face and Tenny seemed unable to locate his antagonist. Neil worked left shift to the jaw and quickly fol- lowed it up with a right and left swing to the jew. Tenny fought back gamely, getting in some- telling blows. In a furious rally Neil sent Tenny to his corner bleeding from the mouth afresh. The ‘bell ended the round, Neil baving the advantage. It was a furious round, replete with hot mixing. SEVENTH ROUND. Both missed left swings and then Nell's left found Tenny’'s jaw good and solid. Neil clipped Tenny with right and left over the’ face and missed several lefts. for the body.

'Netl kept up the good work and shot two lefts to the face and forced Tenny to a clinch, The referee separated the ' bel- ligerents and Tenny. nearly sent Nell through the ‘ropes with a fearful right to the jaw. Neil took the count and on rising was rewarded with a straight right to the jaw. Neil then turned the tables by sending in a fearful right jolt to the.stomach, staggering Tenny.

IUTICA, A 200 TO 1 SHOT, ] BEATEN ONLY A NECK 10 QUIT LEACUE Magnate Is Disgusted With the Present Outlook and May Draw Out Right Away —_—— WANTS AN EVEN BREAK L Thinks That Other Managers Have Given Him the Worst of It in Several Deals e A iy If things do not break better in the baseball world during the next few days the San Francisco team will be without a magnate. This is the kind of talk that Andy Clunie handed out yesterday afternoon and in the course of his remarks he dwelt on the fact that he had received the worst of every deal that has been pulled off for some time. Unless this practice ceases, Clunie vows, he will throw both hands into the air and start an amateur -league, using Recreation Park. . According to the new magnate, he has not recelved an even bredk at the hands of the other league powers since he secured the controlling interest in the local club. One thing brought on another till the Seattle club announced several days ago that it had secured the services of Mohler, the star second baseman of the local team, whom Clunie thought he had safely tucked away under his wing. The San Fran- cisco magnate tried to talk business with the Seattle powers, but he says they would not listen to him and thus the fight over Mohler is still hanging fire. Then Clunie attempted to secure the release of Joe Corbett from Brook- lyn, Magnate Hanlon of the latter team demanded $3000 for Corbett, which gave Clunie another attack of that disgusted feeling. Yesterday morning Clunie wired to Manager Morley of the Los Angeles ag- gregation, asking him to set a price on Pitcher Charley Baum. Morley imme- dlately wired back and his figure was so steep that Clunie nearly dropped in his tracks. Morley refused to come down a bit, so, feeling thoroughly dis- gusted with whole baseball proposi- tion, the new moneyed man of the local outfit announced yesterday that he was ready to call it off unless he secured-an even break once in a while. To add to Clunie's. troubles, he says he has heard on- good authority that the Seattle team is ready to run out of this league and jump to an opposition layout in the northwest at the ealiest opportunity. This being the case, it would leave the other cities in a bad fix. If Clunie has the right dope onh such a move he undoubtedly is right in saying good-by to baseball here before it is too late. - Manager Jack Gleasen- said yester- day that he had not heard a thing about Clunie’s intention to quit the game. Gleason is going right ahead and getting things into shape for the opening of the season. He is busy now making arrangements to train the feam at Visalia, beginning March 12. Glea- son still has his interest in the club and says he is going to see it through, no matter what happens. Clunie is also ‘worried pver the fact that several of his players have not sent in their signed contracts. He ac- cuses many of them of trying ‘to hold him up for a ralse in salary and of sulking when. he refused. He says he raised all whom he thought deserving and the rest, according to him, are be- ing very,well compensated. <luni® may possibly relent during the next few days. Things are likely to look up better in the future, though hard luck has always been a factor in the world of baseball. The ball players themselves are all very much worked up over the present situation and the announcement that Clunie had quit made them all look wise for a while yesterday. —————————— TWO STAKES COMPRISE - R THE CARD AT INGLESIDE Some Hard Contested Races Are Sure to.

Jim Nell, father of Frankle, had quite a squabble with the members of the fight trust after the affair. He made the latter pay for every pre: ticket issued. The trust in turn compelled Nefl to make good for ten tickets he received. Nell was walking out of the pavilion with the money when Willie Britt stopped him and held him up for a receipt.

Lily Golding Slips Away From Fast Sprinters. Knapp on Tocolaw Earns Brackets l Once Again. BY FRED E. H:ULH_OLLAND. TUtica, a 200 to 1 shot, ridden by Hobart, missed beating Grace G by a neck for the @vo-year-old seramble at Odkland yes- terday. It looked a prickly spot to un- cork a green one with two such good performers as Mabel Hollander and | Nappa - to stow away, but the Kismet colt almost accomplished the trick. He led throughout, and only lost because Tommy Clark astride Grace G, the win- ner, outfinished Hobart. The - favorite, Mabel Hcllander, ran third after a dis- appointing display of speed. Three favorites landed first at the wire. The track is drying out fast and should | be in tairly good condition today. Knapp rode €ock Sure, the ‘Clark sta- bles' entry.for the second event. The chestnut gelding was backed down in the betting to even money, and won handily. Lord Nelson lost the place -to Rustlcate, a 30 to 1 shot. # More success attended the efforts. of Alice Carey in the six-furiong number, third to be decided, than on the previous day. A 6 to.5 choice, ‘the mare received superb handling under Leroy Williams, defeating ‘Bear Hunter and Dr. Sherman, with little in reserve. The latter sprinter had a stormy voyage. Briers, an uncertain quantlty at best, let her admirers down with a thud by finishing third for the mile selling fixture. ‘Willlams, who rode the mare, was com- pelled to take the worst of the going for six furlongs. Dusty Miller, the mount of Graham, made all the pace, disposing of Chablis in clever fashion at the wire. If there is anything in’ class Dargin looked far and away the best of the starters in the fifth. Dugan had the mount on the Schrelber horse and was never a contender. Lily Golding; the 2 to 1 favorite, led from. start to finish, crossing the line half a length before Judge. The show went to Watchful. 1t her showing in the final five-and-a- half-furlong-purse run is any line on her ability, Neva Lee Is greatly overestimated. Backed down to 11 to 10 favoritism she appeared all at seéa from the first jump, running an ordinary third. Knapp passed Deutschland early in the game with Tocolaw, and in a mild drive at the close earned a neck decision over the Schreiber entry. NOTES OF THE TRACK.
