j i ' , ! P| “Bayonne Man Made No Effort to Fight Until the Last Two Sessions. By Vincent Treanor. af JEFF SMITH and Mike McTigve | @idn’t “fake” it at Madison Square | Garden last night they did the fpext thing to putting over a “barney” on Tex Rickard. McTigue won tbe @ecision simply because he made more —‘S@ptions with his hands. He also made @ good attempt at scowling and be- coming fiercely aggressive when| Smith came out of his shell inf the fourteenth and fifteenth rounds. Smith fought only in two rounds, the fourteenth and fifteenth, a gra stand finish, and outclassed McTigue when he cut loose. Before that he simply stood and either blocked or @mothered Mike's attempts at putting ver a haymaker. He buried his chin on his chest and Mike couldn't get 9 @lean shot at him. At other times moved just enough to let McTiguc’s punches go round his neck or spend themselves going through his curly hair. He had no trouble keeping away from anything that looked dan- .. He didn’t lead ten times up $5 the last two rounds, and what he -~fid in the punching line was at close quarters, when he would make spas- / modic bluffs at roughing Mike up and @neaking in punches over his guard while they were locked. All the while the worked under wraps and hand- cuffed. Referee Jack Appel constantly int!- mated to both that they weren't fight- tng. He visited their corners between younds and told them to get busy. “The result was always a flash for the first minute and then back to tho -@ia stuff. The crowd booed and kept time with hands and feet in ridicule of the efforts of the alleged fighters. Neither man has ever shown any too well when the going is thickest, ‘but last night there wasn't a minute fm the entire fifteen rounds to test - the questionable gameness of either. (As a fight it was a sad affair, It would have been much better for the pair of them if they had kept In Buell, New Mentdl Capacity of Quarter- back Feature of His Grid- iron Playing. c By William Abbott. E ability to think fast earned Charlie ‘Buell the captaincy of y Harvard's 1922 eleven. He was elected yesterday. The little quarter- beck throws forward passes like a Daseball pitcner, runs well and is a clever field general. Yet Buell's nim- bie brain has been the most striking feature of his work on the gridiron. For the last two scasons Buell hus @ayed the Crinwon frequently with the execution of a brainy play when he Harvard stands had &bout given ‘UP all hope. _ Whe Harvard-Yale game at Cam- bridge last montu demonstrated _ Buell’s mental capacity. it is a part of the famous Haughton system to spare Crimson quarterbacks as mucn a peteible.

Nicholls, Cambridge physician, hed across the field to the stricken ‘player. The doctor seeing Buell slowly open his eyes asked what day it was. “It is Saturday,” answered Buell auickly, coming around with the aid - of an ice pack. “Yale is leading 3 to 0, but Harvard 4a going to get a touchdown damn Buell was right.

They were fooled, for the smallest crowd of the year tarned out, Maybe it was the size of the crowd affected even their fighting. McTigue weighed 159 pounds ard which would seem to make Il_his claims as a middle- nd the contender, The rest of the programme last night reminded one of an amateur tournament. Theré were three knock- out in the preliminary bouts. Phil Salvatore of Californ stopped Jimm nley of Louisville in six rounds; Johnny Reisler stopped Mike Arra in the fifth, the latter being very iMing to call it after two knockdowns, and Marty Collins lopped Al Walker of an Francisco two minutes and eight seconds Knocked groggy inch, a left hook by the very first to the Jaw, in the opening round, Walker really never got his bearings, After gamely arising from a_ third knockdown, Re stopped the bout, The knockow of mar! » Artie McGovern weren't the result superiority of the winne ere due, instead, to the fact that a six contestants were the St novices, with little or no knowledge of offensive or defen work.

Instead of the confusing clanging of the gong, Haley, as associate timekeeper, stood at the ringside and shouted the seconds off, each with a wave of the hand, while he tried t» keep his eycs on a watch In his left hand and the man floored. It was a good night for experimenting, Patsy having nine or ten separate opportunities, That the fight fans know as much as the promoters about what consti- tutes a good ‘d was amply proven by the attendance. There weren't ten | otal of seats around the ringside cc- upied, and there were stretche: of empty boxes surrounding the arena, It was the smallest crowd of all since Tex Rickard assumed control of the old arena. ‘ | Harvard Has Nimble Brained Star Feotball Captain TWO CARLISLE: STARS CARDED IN TRIO OF CITIES THE SAME DAY Somebody's going to be disap- pointed to-morrow.
