Z 7 Wopreight, 1011, by The Prem Pubtishing Oo. (The New York World). HE Fire Department of Brooktyn deserves a few congratulations. That macnificent fire-trap, the hirlwind A. C., is temporarily closed, | id will not be reopened until all fire ; Rémulations have been complied with. | Whirlwind, as arranged on the! it of the Murphy-Prown bout last Week, needed only the touch of a match to be turned into one of the finest bon- | ites ever seen in this part of the coun- ary. Inside the entrance was bullt up « ‘mort of -run, such as Western Wattle raisers use in loading cars with Beef on the hoof, In case of a panto that would be as effective as « trap. Along waile and roof beame hung scores of flags and banners, fluttering in the draught from the broken skylights, yeady to flare up like #0 much sun- dried prairie grass at the first spark. ‘The hall was Mterally jammed with | spectators, and for thirty or forty f back from the ring there wasn't even aisle room.

Hogan had lost much of lls popularity on the Coast, but Franey took @ chance and stuck to him. in New York Hogan made good in @ tough fight with K. 0.

Just after that fight Franey learned une: pectedly that he was no longer Hogan's manager. He was left in the lurch and, as Joe Gans used to say, “down to a hard, thin dime.” It's a long way to the Coast, even by rail, and « good deal longer by the tle rou!
