GOOD OLD BROADWAY CLUB DIES IN ALL ITS GLORY, BUT ITS NAME WILL LIVE ON ASEVER
BROADWAY A. C. IS TO LIVE ON,
DESPITE PASSING OF OLD ARENA
AT FIFTEENTH AND WASHINGTON
Muggs Taylor Says He Will Attach Name of the
Ancient Club to Another, on Bigger Scale,
Near Center
x
iwr t
By LOUIS
MUCJOSr TAYLOR U to keep tho Broad
way Athletic Club atlvo. If only In
name. Tlio Rood old light club at Fifteenth
treet and VVnfshlngton tivonuo was placed
under tho sod last night when cU bouts
were put on before a crowd, tho largest that
ever Jammed tho twenty-onc-year old arena.
While tho dilapidated bullcllwr Is through
to far ns boxing Is concerned, and Is to
bo demolished for tho construction of a
building to bo used by tho Government, tho
Broadway Anb." Is to be the till, of
another boxing arena to bo opened In the
Jear future; whether It Is to bo In a week
cr a month. Taylor wouldn't say, or maybe
be didn't hnow. Hut ho did make a definite
declaration that he would promote matches
for h. club to bo known as tho Broadway
Athletic Club. Somebody "buzzed" that
Muggs was to sign a. leaso of a local thea
Ire near the center of the city his after
noon, and that ho would put on bouts that
would rival Ihose of tho Olympla and Ja
tlonal Clubs.
Club Is Packed
Approximately 2000 fienzlcd fans, loyal
to the ancient "blood pit." pushed, elbowed
and shouldered their way into tho club, and
by 8:30 the police threatened to stop tho
show If any more peoplo wcro permitted
Into tho club. No more could got Into tho
arena, so the arm was put on a hundred or
more others who wcro willing to pay for
standing room with prospects of seeing only
a lot of bobbing heads In front of them.
There wero Just as many supposed-to-be
f pectators who didn't seo a minute's fighting
as thero wero those that witnessed the slug
fests, vet tho unlucky ones wero satisfied to
bo within tho walls of tho good old club
that was to bo no more.
Mucklcs Itllcy and Battling Leonard
opened festhltlcs, and they put on a great
battle. Leonard was the winner and
showed that he was Improving with every
contest. Itlley Isn't tho easiest llttlo fellow
In tho world to beat. Leonard did It, how
ever, and ho did It nlftlly and nicely. Tho
Battler nnd namesake of the 1'ghtwelght
champion has a good future.
TVally Nelson and Young Coster wcro tho
next pair of flstlcuffllnns to squcezo through
the over-flow of humanity into tho ring.
They, too, camo through with a lot of good
fighting. Nelson winning. Franklo Williams
won In tho fifth round from Charley Mooney
when tho referee stopped tho bout. It
was a one-sided affair, and the third man
In the ring made a big hit by squelching
hostilities.
Bell Sort of Woozy
A I Wagner came within an ace of knock
ing out Redely Bell In the fifth, but tho
brick-topped boxer weathered that round,
although as woozy ns an English sailor on
shore leave Ho also negotiated tho final
frame. Battling Murray had a soft Job
In the fifth bout, when Herman Iltndln
tossed n towel into the ring In tho second
round while Jack Lesser was on tho canvas.
It was easy plckln' for Murray, who, by
, the way, looks llko one of tho befct little
battlers around. '
Jack Blackburn and Henry Hauber met
In their 'steenth contest In the star bout,
which was preceded by n battle royal be
tween eight gein'mon of color. Blackburn,
as In his other matches with ITauber. was
the winner on points. Black Jack toppled
Hen In the second round with a straight
left, but Hauber was up without taking a
count.
Bailey Takes the Floor
Lew Bailey, "Diamond Lew." tefereed
the Blaekburn-Haubor bout. Bailey or
ganized the Broadway Club back In '90,
and turned oer tho arena to Muggs Tay
lor five years ngo. Lew camo through with
a little speech that was good stuff. lie
told tho large gathering about the days
when Jack Johnson was pleased to box for
the prlco of the hay, and when Fred Welsh
thought ten bucks was the biggest purse
a boxer could get.
All In all, the Broadway Club, at Fif
teenth street and Washington aemie.
breathed Its Inst und flickered out as one
dying nfter a hrppy and successful c'.ireer.
Tho record-breaking attendance was llko
tho gathering at a t,corc of wakes put to
gether. Now, with tho djing of the old Broad
way, the name still will reign, but where

Tcndlcr Now Ready for Kilbane n
"Yes, and you can count In Kilbane, too "
was I'hll Ulassman's reply to a query
whother Lew Tendler was ready to box
llllo Jackson, Itocky Kansas, Irish l'ntsy
Cllne and Johnny Dundee once more. "Tho
only boxer wo bar Is Benny Leonard. And
I suppose Billy dlbson and the champion
aro regular fellows enough not to be sore
for mo not allowing Tcndlcr to bo knocked
orr.
"Tendler Is llko n business proposition.
Just ns long as ho goes along winning
we'ro going to mako money. Onco he Is
trimmed decisively, tho old lucre stops com
ing In. So, like a good business manager,
I'm feeding Tendler to boxers I think
rather, I am suro ho can whip. I could
have had a match w Ith Johnny Kllbano last
fall. But I. knew that Loolo didn't stand
a ghost of a show with him. with tho result
nut! passed up tho match.
"Now, I fuel that Tendler can win from
Kilbane, nnd ns soon an I am offered the
purso that suits me, Tendler will bo ready
for Kilbane, and Mr. Kllbano won't be In
the tunning alone."
Glassman has received an offer from Bos
ton for Tendler to box Franklo Callahan
or Johnny Dundco October C. An Glassirun
saya Callahan Is too big for Tendler, he
has rewired tho Boston promoter that he
will consent to a Dundee bout for October
16, as Dundee boxes Irish Patsy Cllno on
tho ninth in New York.
