(The New York Evening World.) the Jong history of pugillem has been furnished by the career of the giant world’s champion, Joss Only three years ago Willard leaped in a moment into the greatest popularity ever achieved ip the ring.

He demanded preposterous sums when asked to fight any one. It was evident he didn't intend to fight. People who tried to induce him to do things for some of the many pur- poses associated with the war were turned down.

By Robert Edgren. OXING brought the Red Cross Just $52,250 at Madison Square Garden last night, Of all the many boxers who volun- | teered to fight not one failed to ap- pear, and the only one who failed to fight was Frank Moran, who ex- plained that he had a sore leg and didn't feel like tackling K. O, Bren- | nan just at present. There was enough of real fighting to sult anyoné, That the crowd liked it |was shown by the storm of protest when, after 1 o'clock in the morning, tho announcer suggested cutting remaining bouts to four rounds each, A popular vote was for a continuance of six-round bouts until breakfast ume. There were all sorts of attrac- tions. For instance, there was the gold cup given by the Kaiser to Mr. | Marshall, owner of the ocean racing yacht Atlantic, many years ago, An inscription on ‘the cup declared that [the Kaiser hoped this trophy would cement the delicate bond of friendship |betweon America and Imperial Ger- {many, And just to show how strong |the Kaiser 1s with us, Marshal Mc- | Carthy made a little apeech and said: “We're going to sell it with the full knowledge that the man who pur- chases this cup will melt it up to make dollars to fight the Kalser,” | After that everybody wanted to buy |the cup. Mr. K. Dogget bought it for | $5,000, and gave it back, And then Mr, Joe Maroné bought it for $3,500, and he gave it back; and Mr, Brown bought It for $2,000, and John Walters | bought it for $4,000, and Maxey Blu- menthal and J. Auditor bought it for $1,000, each chipping in $500. And a few others bought it for smaller sums. In all the Kaiser's Cup brought $1 000, and there's $5,000 worth of gold jin it, so the Kaiser has contributed, | directly and indirectly, $24,000 to help America win the war, Then a lot of cartoons were raf- | fled off and they brought $1,676, and a set of silverware contributed by |Col, Mallen brought $550, and $2,000 in checks were sent up to the ring, jand the gate was $29,000, and Kid | Williams sent $25 because he couldn't get here to box. ‘The fights started with a six-round draw between Ritchie Ryan of Upton and Eddie Grover, Benny Valger and Battling Reddy fought six fast rounds, and Paul Doyle and Harry , Pierce slammed each other all the way, with slight advan- tage on either side, ‘Tex Kelly of Camp Upton fought six with Augie Ratner and was once knocked down so hard that he cracked panes of glass in the skylights, but got up and held out his jaw for more, which he re- ceived, Kelly didn’t care what hit him. Jim Coffey and Battling Levinsky |put up @ hot six rounds that alone was worth the price of admission, It looked as if Levinsky was trying to knock Coffey out in the first couple of rounds, and then it looked as if Coffey was negotiating for a mas- sacre, Levinsky led on points, but at the end was very weary, while the big Irishman was landing an occa. sional right so hard that the sweat from Bat's blond crest sprinkled the crowd. After that Gunboat Smith fought six rounds with Harry Greb, Friend Greb, a middleweight, ripped and slammed and fought ike a whirl. wind, while the long, lean Gunner let him fight, and now and then biffed him a hard one for luck. When the Gunner found that he could block Greb's hardest blows he tried to put @ little comedy into it, but it was a good, hard fight. Lew Tendle rounds with fought a neat if six |b Barney Adair, showing | will omadvt, bis southpaw etyle of to advantage, / Cross nurses present, although he didn’t deliver a Benny Leonard class of goods. He led easily. Johnny Dundee and Eddie Wallace fought six hard rounds, and Dundee was right there. Old Kid Pneumonia apparently didn’t rob Dundee of any fighting quality, He mussed Wallace considerably. In the last round, how- ever, Wallace gave Johnny a tougn battle and had him weary enough to be glad it wasn't a twenty-five- round go. Ted Kid Lewis and Jack Britton fought spitefully through six rounds. Ted Kid had the best of the slam- ming, but Britton took no backward steps and missed no chance to shoot a right at the champion's chin, Lewis by a shade, after plenty of fast fighting. Paul Edwards of Camp Upton was matched against Frankie Callahan. He was overmatched, Callahan being too big for him, but for three rounds he did his share of the battering. In the next round Callahan had things his own way, and held back his heavy punches. Billy Clinton fought Mel Coogan, and here “Ye Scribe" left y: arena, being fully and completely satisfied, and being “no hog.” The ring was then, at 1.30 A. M, sur- intment One of Features Was the Auc- tioning of Gold Cup Given by Kaiser to Mr. Marshall, Owner of the Ocean Racing Yacht Atlantic. rounded with boxers clamoring to go on next, and most of the crowd was still holding down its seats and thinking up excuses to spring on its wife when it got home. They may be fighting still. Mr, Fox and Charlie Harvey and Joe Humphreys, most of ali, are re- sponsible for the splendid results, for they planned and ran the show, But no one should forget that every boxer asked to fight came and FOUGHT— and just as bard as if there had beon a purse at stake. And one oth little Item worth noting is that o 50 per cy at the ringside and bid against the Kalser’s Cup was contributed by race track men and professional sporting men. LTHOUGH Evander more games to play in the P. B. has two A.

Up to this game Clinton had a possible chance for the coveted hon- ors that go with winning a schoolboy championship. However, Wednesday's defeat elim- may have had, Again, it was too much Hirshfield. This youngster pitched a wonderful game, and only in one inning, the eighth, was Clinton ed and Black might have scored in this inning had it not been for some very poor base running by Hyman, the Clinton third-sacker, In this round Hyman opened with a single, The next man up, Roskin, followed with a double to left.

He turned back the Clinton batters with the skill of a leaguer and at no stage of the game was he placed in a dangerous situa- tion, He also was ably assisted by the other members of the Bronx team. A one-handed running catch by Jordan of a hard smash by De Stefano, which was labelled for three bases, was “one of the features of many brilliant plays made by Evander, Clinton also played good ball, and had Joo Stark been a bit steaaier in that disastrous first inning the battie might still have been waging. It was in this inning that Evander got all of its four runs. After that round Stack's pitching was worthy of a better fate.
