O'KEEFE VANISHES
Did Not Box Johnny Dundee last
Night, Though Scheduled.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5. Tommy O'Koefe. of
Philadelphia, did not box at the Federal A. C.
Inst nlgnt, and It may be said In paaslng
that Quaker City athleto li not likely to per
form In this city, nor Stato for somo time to
come. Tommy, who has met Leach Cross, Jack
Brltton and numerous other stars, was to hao
tried hli skill against Johnny Dundee, tho
West Side lad, but for some reason, as jet
unexplained, he walked Into the clubhouse, nnd
as the onco popular song has It. "ho walked
right out again." Tommy was guilty of a
double breach In that ho never lingered around
to say goodby. He simply folded his trnts
and disappeared Into the exterior darkness.
Tho promoters will enter charges against
O'Keefe nt the next meeting of tho State Ath
letic Commission.
Barney Ford, tho local boxer nho took tha
trip with Tommy O'Kecfo, of this city, to
New York last night, said this afternoon:
i il wub prni;iiL-4iiiy my inuil inai u lice To
I did not go through with tho bout In Now
iorK wnn uunaee. Tommy wbh suffering
from a high fever, and I adWsod him not to
box, as thero was not moro than JI50 in tho
houso. O'Keefe was to fight for 20 per cent
of tho gate receipts.
"Bofore leaving Philadelphia, Tommy com
plained that he did not feel well His head
and mouth were glilmr him a grent deal of
iwln. but he sold that he needed tho money
nnd would tignt Dundeo as scheduled. When
wo got to New York I left him In tho hotel
and went to the club myiclf. Tommy was
never near the club.
"The gallery os Jammed, but the other
section of the houso nas half empty nnd those
who did occupy seats wore 'dead heads.' Had
there been sufficient money In the house Tom
would havo taken a chanco to box, but with
a small purie evident I decided not to let
O'Keefe Injure himself. Tommy Is sick In
bed at home at the present time. '
Tho Player'B Behuttal
l'ou say that 1'tr, only out there for the
kale;
You tay that whatever I've got is or

You brand me as a jumper, a traitor, a
thug,
A cotn-orabhtno blighter, a purse
snatching mug.
Well, say that I am,

I know this game better than you do,
old Itam.
Do you know what U means when you
reach thirty-five,
At the age when most Of you start to
arrive,
To knout' you are slipping, to feel you
are through.
To hear the boss say, "It's the Bush
lcagu for you"T N
,rYou were there once, old scout,
BufpeffieTiellouf,
Your old wing is cracking, so beat it,

Do you know how it feels to be knocked

Vfith a kid on the bench reaching out
for your fobT
Or a thirty to know you are out on the

With a kink in your arm or a blur on

When the mob starts to yell

Turning" again to that matter of
brains vs. courage In sport, there isn't
any doubt but that what is generally
known as brains on the field is three
parts courage and stamina.
Take tho case of Ty Cobb. T. Ray
mond, of Royston, has brains enough,
but most ot his success is due to a mix
ture of courage and stamina, plus, of
sourse, sueh physical qualities as are
necessary to forwarding the rest of it
The Cobb System .
Cobb gets and deserves credit for
putting through many a scalp-Uftlng

Tho West Branch Y. M. C. A. snlmmlng

last night in a dull swimming meet In tho
lattrr's pool by tho scoro of 33 points to 18.
Th- winners proved thcmsclvis the fastest and
best-balanced awlrnmlng team In Philadel
phia. Although tho Central team had tho help
of C. M. Rlttcr, the German ex-champlon
ur Immer, they did not get a first placo in
any of the luUng events except tho 1'uo-yard
rao. which Bitter easily captured from
Greene, of West Branch, In 2:20, beating In
tho latter by two nrdi.

Cobb's courago and stamina and speed.
Ho la nover beaten. Ho goes In with his
head up and his eyes open, brimming
with contldenco in his own ability to
turn the trick. If tho occasion arrives,
ho Is ready to take tho opening at top
speed. An aggressive ball player Is
pretty sure to be a brainy one, for he Is
always In the thick of the game.

Ledger to be a part of a $2.'0 sum to go for
weignt ana appearance against cuuer m
lams, Kilbane or Welsh Hommey sayB he
will fight Williams at 122, Kllbano at 12S
and Welsh at 13J.
Hommey has mado a fine Impression In his
battles In thla section. In his last fight that
with George Chancy at Baltimore this wcek
the local battler was outpointed. However.
Hommey and Lenny both think a draw would
havo been fair. Chaney Is one of the most
serious contenders for tho featherweight cham
pionship, and Packey by his showing In 10
rounds with tho shifty and hard-hitting llaltl
morean has proved conclusively that he has
tho class. Hommey weighed 10 when he bat
tled with Chancy. Ho says ho can train to
122 without weakening himself.
Hommev has been rcmatched to fight
