I & , v ' I EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER- i?Hn3ADBEPmA,l TUESDAY, FEBRTJARY 18, 1919 ' is "n f IF BRADY AND BRITT HAD REMAINED OUT-OF-TOWN FIGHT FANS WOULDN'T HAVE MISSED tHEM, i"tt i ' iV V- s A : THREE AUTHORS TELL THRILLING STORY OF SIX TERRIBLE BOUTS Bob Maxwell and Lou Jaffa Were Eyewitnesses at Olyin- pia Show, but Ring Lardner Refused to Attend and Won the Newspaper Decision ROUND ONE Ily ROBERT V. M VMVELL Sports 1-dltor ntmliif I'uMIc I-edcer rnilE mere fact that RnlpU Brady, of Sifneuse, defeated TranKIe Urltt, ot New Bedford, Mns, In the wltidup at tho Olympla last nli;lit docs not mean a pleasant tlmo 'was had by all. noth Mr. Brndy and Mr. Britt could hao remained In Svracuso and New Bedford and the spectators never would have missed them. In fact, It would hae been a relief, for nil of us could havo gone homo carl. Still, there wcie a few wise -persons in our city, like Watson Maill and Middle Ennls, who decided to pass up the fracas for the movies or something, but the real clecr suy was King V. I.ardner, tho noted author, of Chicago, III, and South Bend, Ind. Mr Lardner Itnovvi nothing of boxing: and knocked the show before It Minted. Ho spent tho evening watching Charllo Wlnnlnger demonstrate tho proper social standing' of Friendly Enemies and made a good guess. Ho siw two e'ever actors put on their act. Wo saw a pair of terrible hams waltz around for six round, acting like fteshmen in a pillow fight. The boers did not suffer. Jt was the audience. Therefore, we must give Mr Lardner the newspaper decision. He put In his rap before seeing the perfonnunco at the Olvmpla. Wo are swinging the hammer after eeeing It. Those gents from the West certainly are c'over. Hon ever, the faithful fans stuck to the finish. Urltt was as dangerous as a ferocious cream puff and Brady was like u chocolate eclair un a rampage. Brady did what little lighting there was and deserves the decision whatever that Is. The kid shows promise of developing Into a good tcr.ip per in time but it would be best to practice In wmc other cit. W hj pick on US'" As for Britt, that outhful peison tit her had an off night ot boxed better than ever befoie when he tiimmed 'Willie Jackson. Last night he was like a flat-wheeled tinhenry trving to climb a tree. He couldn't hit had no defense, his footwork was sad and pathetic and the only generalship he. used was In sticking his face in front ot Bradv's gloves. Outside of that he Is a swell boxer and put up a great light. A stranger like Mr. Lardnci would have bet the bankroll he was gazing upon tho first prillmlnan ROUND TWO By RlG r. LARUMR I GOT Into Philadelphia and felt fine, but I happened to temonibet that Bob Maxwell lived here, or some such name, and alio Kid Gleason, or whoever it Is that manages the "White Sox-, to my nothing about Bill Dono van, that had that fast ball club one day, but now ho manages Jerscj Citv, so anjway we run Into these birds and was having a good time, but we was Just pajing a check at somebody's cpense when in romped Chas "Win Dinger, and we asked him what would he have, and he said the check, &o he got it and paid It and walked out, and thev asked me who he was, and I said he Is taking Sam Bernard's patt In "Friendly Knemic, ' and thej said, "Oh, no, we know Sam" So I said to Charley, "Theie is a girl out in Chicago now that they named her after me," and he said, "Who is that? ' So then I pulled a funny line on, him and said, "Why, it's Blanche Itlng, jour wife." So he said, "You're wrong because jou were named after her." So now we're arguing about who was named fltst, hei ot I, and tvetv body thinks she was till they see the both ot us, and then thej s.i t was, but I should worrj, as thej saj, because Chas. paid the check, and after wards Mr. Gleason was talking about how easj It would be to manage the White Sox on acct of how few ball plajers jou have it is easier to manage them, so I reminded him that he had the Chicago newspaper men to manage, including Jim Crusinberrj so he all but pent in his resignation So then I reminded him that he was going to live in the same town with me, so he withheld the resignation bo then all of a sudden Mr. Gleaon and Mr. Maxwell and Mr Donovan had to go to the boxing matches and Mr. WInnlnger and I had to go to the theatre and watch him perform And I sat through the whole three acts and enjojed it, which is ajlng Momethlng for the show after the entertainment Mr. Maxwell and (J'eason and Donovan had give me, but, after all, what of it, us a person said to me over In X. Y. the other daj when I told her I was here. ROLND THREE lly ROBERT W. MAXWLLL rpiIERE was a wanton waste of wallops In tho semlwindup pair of windjammers put on a kerosene circuit sl,lt which got the audi ence in good shape to appreciate the wlndup. Eddie Wagond and Allle Xack were the actors in the sl-act sob story, with Xack winning by a neck. Eddie might have been a good old Wagond, but that was before he was wrecked. Eddie did nothing but mls enough punches to knock out a couple of shows, although in the fifth he slammed Allle on the chin with a backhanded wallop which sent Allle to the mat and .Take Wclnsteln down for the count near the box otllce, That pair ot knockdowns were or was the only bright spot In the act and it or the) should have happened sooner. Allle is not named after an streets or anj thing like that, but he Is managed by Jake Weinsteln, and Jake should know better. The onlv reason Allle won was because he was boxing Eddie Wagond. Eddie spent too much time In shadow boxing to inflict any damage. His left swings were beautiful to behold because they kept on swinging. Judge Imber pulled some new tuff about Eddie swinging like a gate and both Smllers smiled. The judge always pulls swell corned). J Eddie also had some right swings which were as dangerous as the lefts. , as they traveled In the same wild, carefreo direction. Some dav Wacond will connect with one oi those wind-mill strokes and gain fame as a knock out artist. All he has to do Is connect. There were other bouts on tho card, one of which was between Dave Astey and Willie Spencer. Willie comes from Gloucester and found it hard to prove that the race track was the only good thing that ever came from that town. After seeing Spencer perform we still must cast our vote for the race track. Willla finished second to Dave, which does not mean vet) much. Worse boxers than Astey have won bouts in this cltj, but we are not trjing to prove it. The bojs smiled at each other from the Mart and the only thing missing was that some one did not puss the marshmallons. ROUND FOUR GEORGIE BLACKBUKX tried to fight his battle in the second prelimlnatv without his manager and adviser, Emory Titman, but because the house was crowded Emory ws not in Georgle's corner. Jso guj could even hope of winning under such a handicap and Blackburn didn't Ho finished sec ond to Joe Masters, who waved his arms In a tantalizing manner and soaked Georgle with everj thing ho knew. Joe hasn't been boxing long, so that accounts for his inability to land a knockout The best part of this act was the r his silver voice all over the place and Babe is quite an athlete. Last jear he -.Isjand football team, but was injured After tnat tne coacn was airam to v jear, and as the big game of the year tar halfback. There were other battles but we did not see them.

POLLOCK IT WAS like. Old Home "Week at Penn vesterrtay, ns Old Homo Week can be celebrated In one day and without the eclat of expectation, Five track stars of yester)ear visited IVanklln Field, and two of them worked put on the out door board track. First Tex Ttamsdell. football hero and sprint champion, back Rbout eight jcars ago, ma do tho rounds of the few friends who havo remained at the lied and Blue Pla)ground. He came purposely to see Law foii Itobertson, but the Quaker tutorj is ronnncci to ins nome wnn a severe cold. In tho wnko of the former gridiron menarch camo Ted Meredith and Joe Lockwood, both former aviators nnd members ot the nc-mllo relay team that kn)oed the world's record in 1915 and set now figures of three minutes and eighteen seconds flat for the distance. Berdick Works Out, Jertls Berdick, Intercollegiate high jump champion several )ears back, and Hnslgn Italph Colton, a cross-country and two-mile star a few years ago, later drifted Into the dressing room that has harbored Penn's track team since Welghtman Hall was elected Colton still Is In the service, but expects his honorable discharge In the near future. Both Meredith and Berdick borrowed toga from members of the present class ot runners and vyorked out ai hard on the board track is If they were prepar ing for a champlons'ilp event. Berdick still competes In local meets, but Mere dith, according to his own admission, ts through with the game. Meredith did his running with Creed Ha)mond, tho Intercollegiate 220-vard dash champion, and he drew the atten tion of the students who were on the field. He trotted around tho boards for a few laps, then walked several and sprinted some more. The next thing on the program was a long pull at the weights "Merely Exercising" So much work aroused the cutoslty of those present, and Ted was asked for tho 919th time If he were going back Into tho running game. "Xo." he replied, "I just do this for exercise. I want to keep in condition. I don't-weigh any more than I did when I was In real training, but tho poujdage Isn't apportioned right.
