IT THEN the Rons clangs ending the bout .
YV between Jack BInekburrt and Hen Hau
ber at the Broadvvny Club tonlcht It will
eound the death knell of the hlitorle arena
at Fifteenth street and Washington avenue,
one of the oldest boxing clubs In America.
For twenty-one years the Broadway has
been famous for Its real, honest-to-Roodness,
on-the-Iovel fights i never wns there a howl
raited about a frame-up or a fake. And,
whhu a majority of the bouts were between
betfluners. they were of tho red-hot, ilvo-
and-take variety.
It Brieves Herman ("Mugiuy") Taylor,
owner, promoter, treasurer, secretary and
matchmaker, to separate himself from the
old place. Yet he Is consoling himself with
the fact that the club Is being taken over
by the Go eminent "to bo used for a pur
pose much better than for mero pleasure,"
using tho young promoter's own words. The
United Slates will tear down the dilapi
dated structure preparatory to building a
garage.
"It's a pity that I had to quit the old
pal," said Muggs today, "and I know that
a lot of the fans feel the same way. I know
at least 100 persona Who have attended the
fhows at the Broadway for years and
haven't been anywhere near another club.
They were educated to the Broadway bouts
and couldn't be coaxed to go to another
club."
Real Bouts Put On
Tho ancient arena has been fnmous for
Its "real" fights. None of the world's cham
pions appeared In combat there, although
Jack JohnBon, when heavyweight cham
pion, and Benny Leonard appeared In the
roles of referees. A majority of the con
testants were beginners, nnd they usually
came through with tho Htuff that curdled the
blood of every one present.
It was the elementary school of a lot of
boxers that later developed Into head-liners,
Jack Johnson, several years before he cata
pulted Tommy Butn.i Into the rosin at Aus
tralia, thereby annexing the heavyweight
title, was overjoyed to box for tho price of
coffee and Fred Welsh, recently de
throned lightweight champion, received his
first lessons of fisticuffs In the well-known
Broadw-' ring.
O'Brien Boxed There
Scores of other boxers, now retired and
some still In the llmollght, either began
their careers at the Broadway or took part
In their early bouts there Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien, even aftor he had returned
from n successful European tour, donned
the gloves at the old club. Mickey Gannon,
at one time the king knockerout lightweight,
came to Philadelphia on a freight and
fought his first ring battle before a Broad
way audience.
Bob Fltzslmmons showed his wares there,
as did Young Erne, Unit ttussell, Sailor
Burke, Frank Klaus, the original Sammy
Smith and the two negro stars, Joe Jean
ette and Joe Wnlcott. And there were many
other boxers who became top - notchers,
thanks to previous experience In the ring nt
the club that Is forced Into the discard to
night. Opened in 1896
'Way back In 1S9S Lewis D Bailey,
known In sporting circles as "Diamond
Lew," form illy organized the Broadway.
Until tonight, after Bailey had turned over
the arena In Taylor's favor, the club staged
regular bouts, In the meantime other clubs
sprouted, flickered for a while nnd then
went out. At 'the same time tho Broadway
went along smoothly, playing- before
GIANTS WIN MORE
FLAGS THAN SOX
Starting in 1888, New York
Has Grabbed Off Six
Pennants in All
CHICAGO A'S WIN THREE
The time finally has arrived when It
may be said without fear of contradiction
that this season's world's series will be
played between tho New York Giants and
the Chicago White Sox.
The Giants won their first league pen
nant In 1888, when John B. Day was presi
dent and James Mutrle manager of the
club. Those were the days of Tim O'Keefo
and Michael Welch, of Buck Evving and
Roger Connor, of Mike Tlernan and John
M, Ward and of Gore, Richardson, Slattery
and O'Rourke.
Again the following year the Giants won,
but then came a string of lean years, and
It was not until John T, Brush assumed
control and John McGraw became manager
that, In 1904, another flag stretched to the
breeze above the New York camp.
McGraw led the team to other victories
In 1905, 1911, 1912 and 1913. In 190(
there was no big series', but In 1905 the
Giants won the world's championship'.
The White Sox were the first to win a
pennant in Ban Johnson's organization, In
1890, the first year of the' American Leagu,
they daptured the flag. , Charles A. Comls
key was then Uoth president and manager
of the club. The leading pitchers were
Roger Denier and Roy Patterson. Joe
Sugdert was catching and Frank Iabell
played first base.
In 1901, when the White Sox won again,
Clark Griffith was manager, and won the
majority of the thirty-five games he pitched.
Jimmy Callahan and Wiley Piatt were
other additions to the hurling staff. Fielder
Jones. Sam Mertes and Eddie McFarland
Played on that team.
The Sox won their last flag In 1805, under
the leadership of Fielder Jones. That was
the team that earned the name of the "Hit
less Wonders." Frank Iabell waB the hard-est-hlttlng
regular on the club and he
batted ,279. There was little need for hard
hitting with such pltchra on the staff as
Doo White. Ed Walsh, Nick Altrock, Frank
Owep, Frank Smith and Roy Patterson.
Billy Sullivan was behind the bat and Don
ahue -was demonstrating how first base
should ba played.
That was the Tear that: tha srrnat fill.
machine won the first of. tta pennants In
the
iiuuonai league. Chance covered
first and won his title nf "P.ri... Ijh'
Evera was at second, Tinker at short and
Slugger Steinfeldt at third. John Kllng
and Pat Moran were the catchers. Sqhulte,
Sheckard and Stagel were In the outfleld.
Miner Brown, Ed IUulbachv Carl Ludgren.
Jack Pfelster and Orvle Ortyall forme
one of tha greatest collectlonsvof pitching
talent ever known.
Chicago was wild with excitement It
had a World's Series all to Itself. The
Cuba were regarded as outclassing their
opponent by their followers and the base
ball world In general, but tho American
League fans refuted to be convinced, Ar
gument grew to. warm that there was many
a street fight and the city was divided Into
camps. The White Sox won the aeries and
the championship by taklnr four games
out of six.

capacity crowds
Uaunltv find inmaMmi,
only before a fair audience.
It was common for out-of-town sports to
debate with themselves whether to take In
the opera that Thursday night or visit the
well-known "bloodplt," On the night Of the
show they would rind themselves tseated
comfortably somewhere In the old club
There were no plush seats nor morris chairs
The only time a sport Is comfortable Is
when he is excited, and there always was
enough excitement to tlngo the most rabid
fan a blood.
Dark on Holy Thursday
More than 5000 bout tiv v,en .im,i,.,i
at the club that will live long In the mem
ory of the present generation of local boxing
fans, even though It will bo no moro, While
Bailey was the Impresario he did not slip
up a single Thursday night. But when Tay
nor connected himself with the pal he Is to
lose tonight ho kept the club dark on the
Thursday of every Holy Week. Otherwise
rain or shine, sweltering weather or heavy
snowstorm, tho Broadway was open weekly
and no matter who was due to box there
always was something doing to keen the
fans In high spirits on a Thursday night, or,
during the last two summers, on a Monday
night.
It certainly Is a pity that the Broadway
must be killed off Just after reaching Its ma
Jorlty. The arena was born many years
before some of the boxers who have ap
peared there In the last few seaFons. A
majority of the boxers around this vicinity
at the present time and a lot now In retire
ment got their start at the old place.
Six Bouts Tonight
For his farewell show Muggsy Taylor
haB arranged a card of six bouts, also sev
eral vaudeville numbers and the great
laugh-producing battle royal. Sevqral
other clubs around town and up through
the State have staged this act. but It was
Introduced In Philadelphia at the Broad
way, and time and again appeared on the
program as the big feature.
Matchmaker Taylor had a dimcult time
putting together his nnal show, not be
causo of, lack of talent but, on the con
trary, because of entirely too many boxers
nn.xloUK to go on. Some of the youngsters
were so willing to box that they offered
their services for nothing Little Battling
Murray, whose first bout was at the Broad
wy, got a glimpse of Taylor walking, down
Twelfth street one evening last week, and
the Italian got off a car several blocks be
foro his destination to ask Muggs to put
him on "with any one: you pick 'im, and
I'll box. I want to get In that show be
cause I started at the Broadway, nnd I
want to be there at Its closing."
Murray will box In the semifinal to the
Hauber-Backburn match, opposed to Jack
Lesser, preceded by bouts between Al Wug
ncr and Beddy Bell. Frankle Williams and
Charley Mooney, Wnlly Nelson and Young
Coster and Muckcl Hiley nnd Battllno-
Leonard.
Taylor Won't Quit
The separation of Taylor and the Broad
way doesn't mean that Muggs will drop
out of the boxing game by any means. He
has his eyes peeled and, while there doesn't
appear to bo any likely place to open a
boxing club, Muggs says it Is only the
matter of a short tlmo before ho will get
going again, and probably on a higher
scale.
In the meantime, Taylor will keep him
self busy trying to keep his stable going.
He has Johnny Tillman. Henry Hauber,
Frankle Williams nnd Al Wagner under his
wing.

Silent Send-Off for
Penn Football Team
Continued from Tag One
proved their worth In the Albright battle,
and would give the Atlanta eleven a Btlff
fight for tho victory.
"I have a green team," said Folwell,
"but nevertheless a good one, and they
will fight to tire last whistle for me. We're
going to give Qeorgla Tech all they are
looking for In the way of a game, and If
we don't win, we'll get licked by only a
few points."
Besides Coach Folwell and Manager
Mather, the following playerH took tho trip:
Captain Miller, Bell, Berry. Delter, Wolfe,
Neylon, Thomas, Kammerer, Well, Straus,
Braun, Rosneau, liarkalow, O'Gorman,
Beltler and Davis.
Pennsylvania broke Into the season yes
terday, and In so doing almost ruined the
Albright Collego eleven by maltreating
the Meyeratown players to the extent of
ten touchdowns, ten goals therefrom and
one field goal. These seventy-three points
were matched against ten for Albright, The
high score sets up a new modern record at
the University. It Is the greatest total of
figures oomplled by he Red and Blue since
the Quakers beat Lafayette, twenty-four
years ago, 82 to 0.
It was not so much that Penn was Btrcng,
but that Albright was weak. There can be
no questioning of the gameness of the
Meyerstown boys they fought to thelast
whistle, but they did not havei football abil
ity and they cannot be compared with any
big college team. They could ncf stand up
under the rushes ot the veteran Quaker
backfleld, but In the fourth period, when
Coach Folwell had a horde of substitutes In
the line-up, they threw a surprise Into the
btands wh,,n they bucked up after three
periods ot continual beating and trimmed
the Penn scrubs In the last session. In the
final period Albright scored a touchdown,
and a glance over the game, play by play,
would convlrice any one that they held
their own In the number of yards gained
from scrimmage.
This' brings out a fact that Is alarming to
the followers of the Red and Blue. There
la nothing weak about Tenn'a first backfleld.
but the string t,t secondary 'defense men Is
far from strong. The new players, Davis,
KrauB, Rosneau and Harrison from last
year's freshman eleven, have the natural
ability to make football players, but they
aro Inexperienced and they lack confidence.
Bob Folwell will have to be mighty care
ful of the physical condition of his first
string playera to ccrne through with a suc
cessful season.

This waa the declaration here today of

New York Olantu Saturday In the opening
game of the series for the baseball cham
pionship of the world. Rowland declared
the Sox are ready tor the Olaiits and con
fident of ultimate victory
It Is expected that most of the Sox will
be on hand to watch proceedings this after
noon when the Cubs nnd Giants clash In a
tuning up game at the Cubs' park. Al
though McCIrnw Is not expected to uncover
his plan of world's series campaign In the
game with the Cubs, the. Sox bellovo nn
afternoon spent watching the Giants in
action will prove profitable.
Howland did not demand u workout ot
his men yesterday, but will have the men
out limbering up today. The two hours of
fast practice are on the schedule for tho

IF HARD work nnd determination count
for anything-. Catholic High School should
have a good foowall tcum this season.
They nre surely working hard to develop
n first-clues eleven. Kvery afternoon after
their cInsroom work is finished thirty fel
lows report to Coaches Glendon and Greer
at the school's new athbtlc field, Twenty
ninth and Cambria streets. The new ath
letic field, which will be one of the best
prep school sports amphitheatres In this
section, is still under t'onstructlon. The
clubhouse has not even been started, which
makes It necessary for the fellows and
coaches to change from their school clothes
to their moleskins and back again out In
the open Meld
The absence of an enclosed place In which
to dress and shower baths Is proving one
of the handicaps to the progress of the
team Tho men do not mind drerslng out
In the open field now. when the days are
mild, but what will they do when tho good
old cold days roll nround, with the beautiful
soft snowflakes on the ground acting ns a
shelter to the green grass? Unless a plice
to dresH Is found these conditions aro npt
to cause an unfriendly feeling between the
lot'al school and the teams which are sched
uled to nppenr on Catholic High's athletic
field.
Kach afternoon the thirty candidates are
sent through a long signal drill, after which
the first and second varsity teams are lined
up for scrimmage practice After each
play Is run through Coach Glendon shows
each fellow his mistakes. Every member
of the squad comes In for some of this
verbal attack. The scrimmage work is
continued until It becomes too dark to cee
the pigskin. Although the men are tired
out by this time, they gallop around the
track a few times to Improve their wind.
Open Season With Defeat
Catholic High opened Its season last Frl
dny at Radnor. Coach Glendon thought
that he had a strong line for a prep school
eleven. That was before tho game with
Radnor High started. The light backfleld
of tho Main Line rchool picked holes In
the local lino with ease. The overwhelming
defeat of 27-0 was the result of the weak
ness of the supposedly strong first line
ot defense. Coach Glendon has shifted nil
his men around for the game with Wcnonah
Military Academy on Saturday afternoon.
Wenonah has tho honor of being the first
football team, outside of Catholic High,
to play on the now gridiron at Twenty
ninth and Clearfield streets.
Captain Friel, who played a great game
nt end last year, and this year was shifted
to quarterback, has been brbught back to
his old position nt the wing. The weak
spot )n tho line at the present tlmrt is at
center. Coach Glendon has tried several
of tho backfleld men at this position, but
nono of them has shown ability. Worth
Ington, last year's fullback, will start at
center against Wenonah,
Several of the men who have been play
ing on the scrub team previous to yes
terday will 'get a chance to show their
ability on the varsity tam Saturday, ns
Conch Glendon Is anxious to win the open
ing game on the pupils' new gridiron,
Gorman Captain at Merccrsburg
The announcement that Jack Gorman was
selected as this year's football captain at
Mercersburg Academy was popularly re
ceived by the student body of the up-State
prep school. Gorman succeeds "Slip" How
ard, captain-elect of this year, who failed
to return to school. Gorman, who played
such a great game at end last year that
he was chosen by many prep school critics
as wlngman on their mythical all-scholastlo
elevens, not only succeeds Howard as leader
of the team, but as quarterback The fail
ure of the captain-elect to return to Mer
ccrsburg left a big gap In the backfleld. To
fill this hole. Gorman was brought from his
end position. The new pilot showed prom
ise ot developing Into a splendid lender and
quarter by his work last Saturday ngalnst
the Carlisle Indian scrubs. In this game
he tallied four touchdowns and ran the team
In a way that would have done credit to a
more experienced man. Before entering
Mercersburg Gorman was prominent In ath
letics at Syracuse High School, where he
won his letter In three sports, football, base
hall and basketball. Since entering Mercers
burg he has won his "M" In football and
baseball He Is nineteen years old, and will
graduate In June,
