About Fights and Fighter BY LEO H, LASSEN ‘Young Apollo Is Given Air in 4th Round of Go Seattle Heavyweight Fizzles in His First Start Before Home Folks When Rube Finn Won't Stand Still; Referee Schacht Stops Fight in Fourth Round UBE FINN simply wouldn’t stand still. And because Finn wouldn't stay in one spot, Jack McDonnell couldn't hit him, And because McDonnell couldn't make connections he turned out to be a veritable quince. And a quince, my dear children, is a brother to a lemon, And calling a fighter a lemon is no boost. And because McDonnell! turned out to be said quince he was thrown out on his ear by Referee Schacht in the fourth round of the scheduled six-round encounter at the Crystal Pool, and the packed house, which booed from the word go when McDonnell showed that he didn’t know any- - = - : —|thing at all, went home in {disgust with the blowing up of another press-agented champion.

Jost has told of his fight with Sulli- van time and time again, but never the following version: Charlie Jost of Portland, who calls himself “Yc Hepes eer eee Gopher Guard ries and a beautiful shin d that his end of the purse to charity FAULT NOT ALL M'DONNELL'S ne whole fault is not mar at, He : for weeks first star and the some If his Managers had latened to the advice of men longer in the game MeDon nell would have start ome pr ably bec r saw him tight, pro’ table when he Tacoma 1 For eight rounds the Por night © Deautiful MeDor and nothing boy did sor with his face the awkward Sullivan Jost finished with a average, for he did not miss ng hi: ‘ang expected perfect « thing He was sent to the mat in fuddied heap in the fift a be-| ‘Tomm looked ould been ’ the largely z Fred nome othe: players comaba he. would for staged gridiron i pit an ¥ ely too and n wit MoD r him est forwards in the ™ MEISNEST IS TO STAY IN © is" CALIFORNIA *:": At the present t ter from Boston tore into) ~WRADUATE MANAGER DAR-| trp . ph Pong tie Portland lad showed that he WIN ME fal kok ana bh knew the fight was his from the tap ‘ a 4 of the game for a w f the gong.

Anderson, Australia: member of us BY JOE WILLIAMS UT of the current acrimonious and childish controyeysy involving William Tilden II, in this corner, gents, and the Davis Cup committee, in that corner, will come one definite and needed reform: The silly secrecy which has habitually cloaked the selection of the doubles defending team in the past will be abolished. Whether Tilden, greatest tennis player of his time, has a just quarrel with the committeemen, or their spokesman, Harold Hackett, himself a former champion, is not of great interest to the tennis world. Hackett has charged that Tilden considered himself above advice in connection with the doubles match against the vanquished Australian team last summer.
