Tho star bout-nn ridded attraction put on to satisfy n much-abiwd and well-worked piiullc 'foliowod, and after tho boys wcro through hey did not go to tho box office and col- ..., rt nt thn cats receipts. They re- tctTl nothing for their services. J . Biknco Urccis uoxcrs '- H Is the custom at all boxing club to tpplaud tho boxers when they first enter the ring nnd tnko their corners. Krch boy generally has a following ntid there i much noise- on tho part of tho audience beforo tho bell clangs for the first round, last night It wnn different. When O'Keefo climbed through tho ropes there nain't even a handclap. Tondler received tie tamo cold reception. Tho C0OO persons In tho big amphitheatre sat In stole si lence. They cheered and npplnudod a week ago and now they waited, crouched itnmn in their scots, to see whutl.or or not the boiora tcould put up an exhibition worthy ot tnoir cominenuiiiiun. it u. critical audience an nudlenco that had been" "stung" once and no two pugilists ever had n harder tlmo to wake good. ,In tho first round Tcndler rushed across the ring at the sound of the bell nnd met O'Keefo. beforo ho left his corner. Then the battlo began. Lew hooked his left and right to tho body, then fought Eddie all over the ring, forcing the fighting nnd placing O'Kcefe on tho defensive. It was sensational work, but thero was only n, faint murmur of approval from tho crowd. It war ton onrlv tn become enthused. In the feocond round It was the same, with Tcndler doing all of the leading and Ka dis countering and blocking. Tho battlo was faster than any of tho preceding bouts Including tho ono In which tho featherweight champion participated but the, tomblike silence continued: Tho audience still was waiting to bo "shown." Audience Becomes Enthused In tho middle of the third round O'Keefo hegan to force matters, and landed sev eral stiff blows which drew a hearty cheer from the crowd. Then tho lco was (broken. From thert on tho snectatois showed, that they appreciated tho ef- lons or the boxers, nnd howled tlielr nr 'proval whenever tho occasion demanded which was every second until tho final bell clanged. , It was different when O'Keefo and Tcndler left tho ring. They wore cheered M boxers never were cheered beforo, and evrey ono loft tho plnCe satisfied. .They saw a real battle, a. battlo where skill and brains constantly were being Drought Into play and tho weird exhi bition Of a week ago was entirely for gotten. The hoys hnve wiped the slato telean. O'Keefo nnd Tcndler faced a hard 'proposition when they cnteied the ring. They stood to lose no matter what kind of a battle thev put up. If thin staged a, real light, one pleasing to the spec tators, it would be said that the llrst Wit was 'framed," and they should he barred In Hie future because they "faked." Jpn tfie other hand, It the bojs Hparied Jjnupd for six rounds, tried their best to P-fs.se the audience, yet put up nn im iatlsfactory performance, thero would jb shouts of "10(1011" and "take them off," nnd they would bo ruined forever.

If a preliminary boxer tried to get nway with tho stuff nulled hv Mm lightweight champion, ho would be shooed from tho ring In tho first round. Hut a champion In a champion nnd anything ho does seems to o satisfactory. Tho public likes good boxing exhibitions. Tho boxers need not stand too to too and slug for six rounds, but they nro expected to do their best. If Harry Ui. wards and .lack McQulgan profit by this lesson, they will stngo some more "come back" battles In tho future or Insist that tho boxors put up n. creditable perform ance overy tlmo they step In the ring. "Wind-un Is Very Snd Tho Ktlbano-IIommey bout looked very had laat night. It was snndwlchod be tween two very fast exhibitions and It suffered by comparison Ktlhane dis played his usual clovorness nnd long rnngo boxing, but did not seem to ho trying. Ho could hit Ifommey nt will, hut never got started until tho InBt 10 seconds of each round. They put nn Romo grat finishes, and, as Is nlwnys tho enso, they got nway with It. After tho first round hnd started and Hommey was swinging wildly nnd miss ing nil of tho hard blows, a spectator sitting behind us nsked his neighbor: "Do you think the bout will Inst six rounds?" "Six ro.mdal" was tho reply. "Why, It could last a week nnd neither would bo damaged." That is how tho bout Impressed the writer. Tho boys seemed to ho tho best of friends, p.b thoy were smiling nt ench other throughout. Perhaps thoy iiaw Bcmo humor In tho remarks from tho crowd .when they urged Johnny to "put him out." Way out 1Vcst thero Is a hoxor named Otto Wallace, nn unknown, who but hnd about clftht (battles thus for. Ho has had Ilttlo experience; In fnct, his namo does not nppenr In tho record hook. Yet ho wns nblo to hand rnxkoy Hommey n tcrrlblo lacing Inst Tuesday night, wns ablo to hit his opponent at will nnd won by a big margin Kllbnnc was unable to do as well as this unknown. Was Taking no Chances Perhaps Johnny was taking no chances last night and was saving himself for tho big battles to oome. A broken hand would mean tho loss of thousands of dollars and. as Packy Is a tough boy, the champion did not caro to tako any unnecessary risks Ho knew ho could outpoint his op ponent and was content to let It go nt that. But it must bo remembered that ho received $1000 for his exhibition and those 10-second rallies at tho end of ench round did not mnko much of n hit. Bobby Reynolds and Micky Donley boxed six fast rounds and ended with honors even. Bobby Is ono of tho clever est boxers In tho ring today, 'nnd If ho possessed a knockout punch would bo among tho topnotchcrs. Ho had Donley missing moro than half of his blows and hit tho New Yorker threo times to overy return. Donley's blows weio tho hard er, howover, nnd ho Is entitled to a draw.

Davis, leading tennis player at the University of Pennsylvania, be cause he switched from the architectural to tho Wharton course, and will not bo ollglblo to represent the Red and Blue ort the courts this spring, may leave col lege to accept a position as ambulance driver In tho Fronch army. Davis took a recent trip to New Voik city with two friends of the University of California, where Davis formerly went to college, who nro contemplating going abroad to servo In tho Ambulance Corps of France, and, should they receive nn ap pointment, Davis probably will go with them. The Penn tcjinls star Is pursuing a course in architecture at tho suggestion of tho executors of his fathor's estate, and to change over to tho Wharton course ho is acting ngnlnst their wishes. To avoid a conflict, Davis thinks It advisable to drop from college, and, for the wnnt of adventure, may accept the post abroad. Xellson M. Mathews, captain-elect of the Penn football team, and toommntn of Davis, said this afternoon that It Is his Impression that tho tennis star, should ho receivo tho appointment, will not leave Penn. Mathews believes that on second thought Davis will rcvurn after the mid year recess to take up studies In the Wharton course. "Ho will soon get over the idea of driv ing nmbulances tn tho war," Mathews re marked. "In the first plnce Davis hasn't signed up yet." Davis represented Penn on the courts last fall in team matches against other colleges, and (.cored a notable victory over Church, of Princeton. Ills match with It. Norrls Williams, of Harvard, was post poned on account of Inclement weather.

Sooner or later or In the Interim Iheae two, Joseph and Frank, Western born and bred, are to meet In a wrestling match that will decide the championship ot tho world and will attract something more than S100.000 nt tho gate. So, as a sport ing spectacle, it Is wortn early considera tion. Case of Frank Gotch We first saw Frank Gotch wrestle back In 1905 11 years ago. He was then -7 j ears old, tho Amerlcnn champion, with only Ilnckcnschmldt in his way to a world title Clotch nt 27 and Stcchor at 23 stand as entirely different types. Stechcr's faco Is almost expressionless. Whatever emo tion may dwell In his manly breast, tho same doesn't show through his frontis piece. He gives one the Impression of being a wonderfully perfected machine. Gotch was, and Is. a. different type. Gotch Is the Doc Jekjll and Mr. Hydo of wrnsslers. With a pleasing, open face, nn nttrnctlve smile, it mindle of mag netism, ho might be figured ns tho best natuted man In the game. But his heart Is the hcatt of tho Jungle. No limit of cruelty would ever stop him from beating his man the quickest possible wny Kid McCoy, smilingly cutting nn opponent to ribbons, hnd nothing on the Iowa grappler. Age hns undoubtedly slowed Gotch up and has taken something nway, but even If Htecher should win. he would bo Quito willing to testify that It was tho roughest evening of his 'young but spicy career. Gotch asks no mercy and gives none not even to tho beaten. Tho old Spanish Inquisition could have gathered In some valuable stuff by watching Gotch at work. In the Wny of Speed Stccher at 23 may be some faster than Gotch at 33. Put Steelier at 23 Isn't as fast its Gotch was at 27. He Isn't as fast ns Gqtch was 6 years ago at 32 the last time wo saw him work. For while Steelier Is abnormally fast, a marvel with his quick leg movement and his shifting body, Gotch some years ago was a human streak, so cat-llko thn. It was almost Impossible to follow his moe ments with the eye. You saw him shift from one spot or from one grip to another, and yet the movement wns more a blur than an actual operation. It was a shift of such rapidity that few could tell Just what had happened. The Gotch Ingredients Gotch carried these main Ingredients: Unusual speed: gieat physical power, both In his arms and legs; a high order of courage nnd cunning, unlimited stam ina, complote knowledge of his game through hard and Intelligent study. For Gotch has as mucn brain as he has muscle, bo far as his game Is concerned, anyway, and he has always been blessed with nn uthletlc Instinct that only be longs to the champion. In meeting the lluaalan I.lon for tha first time he soon saw that hero was an oppohent fbo powerful to be thrown, for Haokenschmldt was the most powerful entry of the entire lot. So Gotch switched his tactlca and literally tortured hU man Day! -J WHILE OTHER MAKES MAY FAIL X WHAT ABOUT THAT? , Si 1 AT TIMES,OWNG TO DEFECTIVE 1 GIVEN A SUFFICIENCY OF sy , J ALSO, mj f iW IGNITION.THIS S A SURE-FIRE hydro-CARBQW FUEL IT IS .y C -rc.c ..

In Stecher's Favor If Steelier had come aiung 10 years ago, just as good as ho Is todny, wo would have esteemed It much pleasure to havo had our lost shirt on Iowa against Ne braska In tho Wrestling Sweepstakes. But ISM nnd 1916 nro a decade apart. In meeting Steelier, Gotch will face the best man he ever met. Ho will tnckle n. game, brainy youngster who knows his busi ness, lie will tackle a man who hns beaten most of tho best one who has both speed and power to a chnmplon's degree. Judging from what those say who havo wrestled Stccher, who have seen him work and what ho had to show against the Mnsked Marvel, tho Nebraskan Is well worthy of the throne. Ho has nil tho stuff thero Is. Another Factor And then, again, there is the mnln factor of them all to bo considered. Stccher is 23; Gotch Is 3S. Stechcr is coming; Gotch Is going away. Gotch has ruled unbeaten for over 10 years. And 10 years Is a long tlmo at the top of the pile. Doc Time Is tho greatest collector of them all. He insists on being paid to tha full kopeck. Gotch will have to glvo away 15 years and 15 years covers tho pitching span of Mathewson. Fifteen jears can stand ns no small Sift. Gotch may look to bo ns fast, as strong, ns mighty as ho over was. Ho may for the first SO minutes. But what about the end of a championship hour, or two nours, at tne naruest game of them all? Same Dope It was agreed that Johnson must whip Willard In tho llrst 13 rounds to win. He was not able to produce tho punch Inside of 20 rounds, and Time did, the reat. Gotch to beat Stecher must overpower his man Inside of 20 or 30 minutes. For 30 minutes he will be as fast and as strong as Stecher possibly Btronger. And he will have greater mat craft nnd cunning, for in this respect the Iowa star has never had an equal. Thero is no trick that ho doesn't know, and many of them are his own inventions. For 30 minutes Stecher. a 23, will be In the whirl of u tornado. If he can weather that period the odds, backed up by youth, will be all his way. Gotch Isn't going to get any better the second 30 minutes or the second hour. Ho Is a marel and a supetnian, but not that much of a god. He must cuiry the young Nebraskan by storm, combining power and speed with all the craft and cruelty he has and don't forget that of this he has more than one man's share.

Of nil four schools West Philadelphia has come through with Its team Intact, and no changes will be made, for Captain Fred Bachman nnd Mearklo will play forwards; McCaskey, centre, and 1'lnkerton and Hubhert, guards, as heretofore. Prof. Blchard A. Ker, of Southern High, Is authority for the statement that none of his men has flunked. The chairman says that his team Is also Intact, with the exception that Captain Blnclc and Llpkowltz, of tho regular team, and Des son, of the second squad, are lost throiigh graduation. This loss has been antici pated, however. Mondros, Gottletb and Lewbart are all eligible, and will nil these, vacant places, bo that the changes will not affect Southern High Coach Herbert Hughes, of the West Philadelphia High Cchool, has moved Gross and Mason from the second string team to the first stiuad.

KILBANE-CH'ANEY TITULAR BOUT IN BALTIMORE OFF Chanrpion and Contender May Meet in Six-Round Match Here DUNN GIVES REASON Philadelphia will get the George ChaneJ Johnny Kllbnnc match, which wns sched uled for Baltimore, March IT, lo be singed hero the second week of that month If Henry BlcUer, tho contenders manager, agrees to the bout. Jimmy Dunn, tha champion's ndvlsor. last night snld that ho had called off the bout which wns to bo held In Baltimore for 15 rounds with a rofcreo's decision to decide the champion ship. "If a reliable Baltimore maii.not Inter ested in Chancy, takes over tho match I will go through with It," said Dunn Inst night beforo he left for Cleveland with Kllbane, "but I will not agree to the botit whllo Bletzer or Sammy Harris nro pro moters of the affair. "I havo been offered a match In Phlla dotphla between Johnny and Chancy and I can get almost as much for six: round as I wns guaranteed for tho Baltimore affair Hut that Is not tho Idea. Why should the malinger nf n contender for n. championship be tho man Behind tho bout? Sammy Harris, I believe, nlso Is Inter ested In Chancy and If both Bletzer hnd Hnrrls step nsldo nnd nllow nny ono else who has enough financial backing to stage the bout I will go through with It. Then I would bo assured of an even break." "Ves," answered Dunn to n. query rela tive to tho referee, "I am fully satisfied with Billy Bocap as rofcroe." Bletzer also was In Philadelphia Inst night. Ho witnessed tho Kllbanc-Pnckey Hommey match from tho ringside. "Dunn Is the best alibi guy I havo ever dono business with," said tho Baltimore man. "His argument about mo being bohind the bout Is ridiculous. Ho knows ns well oh I do that as soon ns Kllbane steps Into tho ring with Chaney In a match for the title, tho championship will chango hands." Dunn nnd Bletzer recently signed for a IG-round match between Kllbane and Chancy to he held In Baltimore March 17. Tho champion was to get a guar antee of $5500, and Billy Itocap. of this city, was decided upon as referee. How ever, no forfeits were posted, but It wns decided that each party was to place $1000 with tho rhlladolphlnn for appearance and weight one month before the match.
