RA REAL FIGHTS AT GARDEN ** FURNISHED BY PRELIMINARIES ——_—_4o—. Britton-Shade Bout, in Which by Veteran Champion, Unin simmons-Hanlon Bout—Ver Rendered in Big Arena. Title Contender Is Outclassed teresting Compared With Fitz- dict in Star Event Worst Ever eee By Vincent Treanor. F Jack Britton doesn't lave any tougher time defending his wel- terweight title than he had against Dave Shade at the Garden last night, ho will oe champion until the boxing commissions shut down om him or retire him on a pension. For thirteen out of fifteen rounds Britton, the thirty-six-year-old vet- @ran, did anything he wanted to do with his nincteen-year-old opponent. Im the other two rounds, the ninth and tenth, to be specific, Britton layed up two heats os they say In trotting Circles. He ,elther wouldn't or, couldn't knock out his man. In the! thirteenth round he seemed .o pur- posely pull his punches, He landed often enough, but “placed” his blows | where they would do the least harm. On top of all this the decision of a @raw was announced by Joe Hum- phries, after he hed collected the slips from the Judges, Artie McGovern and Tommy Shortell and Referee Patsy Haley. It was positively the worst decision ever rendered at the Garden, Ringsiders—those considered quali- fled to know a winner from a loser in almost any bout—couldn’t even guers by what method of figuring such a re- @ult could be réached, Shade, of course, was admirably willing and the aggressor, but his ag- | gressiveness led him only into a be- wildering assort.nent of left jabs, hooks, inside rights and other digs with both hands, on every spot from the top of his head to the belt line. He hurled himself at Britton inces- gantly and swung and swung but Terely bit the “old man” squarely, NOT EVEN A CONTEST. Britton only turned his head to avoid most of these attempts or! stepped back gracefully out of range. Anything he took from Shade were punches he didn't bother about trying to avoid, From no angle could the affair be called a contest. It was just @ one-sided ooxing exhibition, such as Britton might go throuch in a gym- Rasium without mussing his hair. And then that awful decision, for which there can be no reasonable ex- cuse. It should be said that Shade took a thousand punches more or less and finished without a mark on his face. His short ribs on the left side were spotted where Britton, to vary the monotony, ‘stuck in trick right hook punches which he landed with the in- side part of his wrist. It is a hard, effective punch, While the Britton-Shade bout was the star event of the evening, it was uninteresting compared with the Other fights. As it was fought it would serve as just a good prelimi- mary to the Eddie Fitzsimmons-Jim- my Hanlon eight-round affair, Here was a regular battle, a corker, The crowd was in a continuous uproar during its progress, It was of the nip and tuck variety, with Fitzsim- mons getting a well-earned verdict. He knew, however, at the end, with bis left eye closed tight,, that he hadn't been to a tea party, KNOCKDOWNS IN FIRST. In the very first round Fitz put. Hanlon down with his southpaw Mary Ann on the chin, but right after that, in the same session, he was sunk to an, almost sitting position by Han- lon’s short inside ~ights, Fitz got up froggy and at the bel! had Hanlon nearly out again, If Hanlon has been able to stand up under a Willle Jack- son bombardment, he found eafly that he was up against a real puncher in Fits, They whaled away at each other throngh the second and third and :t seemed as if one of them would have to go out. They stood toe to toe and exchanged rights and lefts to the body and head while the crowd cheered in approval of the action. Hanlon's elbow defense for his head saved him from another collision with the floor in the fourth, but Jimmy had succeeded meanwhile in putting Eddie's left eye in bad shape. In (he sixth Fitz had the tough Han- jon in a bad way from two hard lefts to the short ribs. They hurt Han- lon plainly, He seemed about to cry from pain as each of these punches hit the mark They had expended a lot of steam by the time the seventh had arrived, but the elghth was another red hot session. Hanlon reached Fitz's jaw with two hard right which made Kiddie temporarily respectful. This round belonged to Hanlon. ANOTHER HOT BATTLE, The Pepper Martin-Tommy Nobie vem!-final was almost as gow as the Hanlon-Fitz contest, and infinitely vetter than the star event. Martin sot his. bearings and wiih a left hook to the Jaw nearly made Martin pitch forward from tie ropes on his face, This took a lot of the “pup” out of Pepper. In the second Noble proved an artful dodger and had Martin missing @ lot. Then with u pretty right hook he sent Martin floundering to the floor. Pepper disdained a count, and managed to stick it out to the bell. Murtin hit the floor again, but mainly due to @ slip in the third. Pepper started the fourth very suddenly in cyclone fashion and it- | erally swept Noble off his feet to the canvas. Noble started to take a count but the bell rang at five. He got up and jumped to his nearby cor- er, daved. Noble wax the more certain hitter of the two an* used up leas energy in the seventh and elghth. The deci- sion going to Martin, might better have been a draw. The highly touted Andy Palmer had some of the shine taken off his reputation in the first bout of the night, when he failed to stop Jimmy O'Gatty. The latter, picked evident- | ly a8 @ set up, gave Palmer a tough argument ,and only in the last two rounds did Andy have any clear ad- | vantage, He got the decision, | Col. Huston Is Peeved And Threatens to Trade Or Sell Mays and Ward. Report Has It That This Pair of Star Holdouts, Along With An- other Player and a Bankroll, Sisler and Urban Shocker. By Bozeman Bulger. OLLOWING their challenge of F deron Ward and his claim for $10,000 the Yank Colonels have stepped into the fMght up to their necks, They now indicate a willingness to sell or trade Carl Mays, the under- hand ace, to any club that will meet them half way in a proposition. This Mr, Mays, mind you, is the man on behalf of whom they spent more than $25,000 two years ago in a Inweuit. But Carl has kicked over the traces —has demanded too much—and wants to go back on his own signed} contract. The Colonels won't stand for it, A telegraphic rumor came out of St. Louts last night—and that rumor ie on a hot trail—that the Yanks have had the nerve or the ambition to begin angling for George Sisier. That is stepping high. “How about that?” I asked Col, Huston early this morning. “I can't discuss the rumor,” he sald, “but I can discuss that crack about nerve, We had nerve enough to go after Babe Ruth. I don't see where any of chem come too high. Anyway, nobody was ever blamed for trying.” While neither of the Colonels would affirm or deny it, here ia the substance of the rumor which had the inner circles agog late last night: The Yanks would trade Carl Mays, Aaron Ward, a player not yet men- tioned and a big bankroll to St. Louls for George Sisler, with the possibility of coupling Urban Shocker in a sec- ond proposition. That sounds like sleighbelis but, {when asked about it, the Colonels jmerely shook their heads and said, “Well, why not?" I cannot vouch for the rumé6F but I can vouch for this: Unleesr Carl Mays cheerfully abides by his three-year contract made last spring he is going to be traded ov sold to the club making the proposition that will add more strength to the Yanks, Aaron Ward, unleas he signs soon, will be coupled in the betting. Last spring the owners voluntarily increased Mays's salary and gave him a three-year contract, Now he wants that contract cancelled and a new one made. They say they won't do It, Now the second trade possibility with material at hand is to trade Mays back to the Boston Red Sox for Dugan, the third baseman recent- ly acquired by Frazee from the Ath- letice ‘That one L think more likely of consummation, With Dugan on third in case Aaron Ward doesn't sign the Yanks would have an infield strong enough (> push them over the wire again The Colonels are really more in- censed against Mays than Ward. They made such a bitter fight for him and then changed his contract so as to give him more money that they think him ungrateful, to say the least. He does not have to sign. Already he is under « three-year contract, The kick {s that he wants the contract torn up and a new one made for his especial benefit. The announcement of Waite Hoyt having signed his contract a few took Noble by storm atthe outset but Temmy, with the be y after- days ago was premature.

The Babe, by the way, is one of the easiest ball players in all the bust- ness to get along with. Mathewson was that way and s0 was Hans Wag- ner. The Giants are expecting big news from thelr supposed holdouts to-day. Most of the young men have kicked in with their contracts but Secretary Tierney is going right ahead making bookings and buying tickets for the others just the same as if they were already in the fold. Both of the championship clubs have increased salaries to an average of twenty per cent, but they solemn- ly affirm that they will go further.

(Special to The Evening World.) “ce YW to keep in condition,”’ has H been the subject of many doctors and coaches but not until to-day did James A.

The Syracuse coach, who is the best known rowing coach in America is never sick and never has to send out an §. O. S, call for any member of the medical fraternity. Keep out in the open air. “Don't be lazy. “Eat only when you are hungry. ” ix brisk walking with running up hill, “Take baths in medium cold water. uh id of good exercise. good exerc ao good to keep one in good shape.” The above are some of the things that Coach Ten Eyck advises. When asked his rules on keeping in good health, Ten Eyck's answer to us Was as follows: “There are many and various ways to keep in condition and perhaps one way is as good as another. Inactivity, or plainly speaking, just common lazi- ness and overeating cause many of us to carry around excess baggage and thus be In poor health. We try to dig our graves with out teeth. “The word condition as applied to an athlete and particularly to an oars- man means health and that can be retained by either male or female by using just ordinary common sense in their datly mode of Iving. “We humans are more or less lazy and when we are not compelled to do anything we just won't do a darn thing and then we pay a doctor to prescribe for us. “We all get sick at times and then we call in ‘Doc.’ He feels our pulse, makes us stick out our tongue and then he mixes us some dope for us to take to make us sweat and perhaps lays down some training rules for us to follow. “Now, with all due respect for the medical man and his profession, you can take it from me that a good natu- ra] sweat caused by violent exercise combined with a good bath and. fol- lowed as a daily routine is worth more than all the medicine » doctor can tote around in his satchel, “You might try this for six months of course, “What They're Copyright, 1922, (New Yori.
