I.nst night, before the largest crowd that over attended nn Indoor athletic event In Philadelphia, he knocked out George Brown, the fighting Greek from Chicago, In the ith round at the Ice Palace. A short right tippcruit. which landed lluh on tlie chin, ended the battle abruptly when both boys were going ttrong and there was every indication that the bout would last the entire eight round'. I'p to that time. O'Dowd had forced the lighting, but his blows lacked team, and Brown was breezing along beautifully. Ihe " Chicago Greek is nrcutomed to absorbing punish ment. hnUng boxed tlie best niiiiaiow eights in the buitie-s for the lift twelve jeais aud uecr hud been knocked off his feet. Mike Gibbon.

This bit of ancient historj is inserted for the pur pose of comparing Mike O'Dowd with the headlines of tho past.

Brown was blocking most of the blows, and Mike seemed to be a tritic wild. Suddenb the Greek decided to tone the fighting and do some damage. Hushing at O'Dowd. he drew back his right to launch it at his head, and that was whnt Mike was looking for Quick ns a flash he whipped a right uppercut to the ehin and the blow scored it perfect bullseye. lit own was lifted oft his feet aud landed backward on his neck and houlders. It was n complete knockout, nnd just as ffectivc as a free-swinging wallop with a baseball bat. Uy IIOBERT W. MAXWELL Mxirlj.

There had been o much boxing that thej had their fill, and hundreds left after the second round. Member of the Mike O'Dowd Admiration Societ.x. headed by Frank Donahue and Abo Einstein, gamely stuck to the finish, however, and held an enthusiastic reception in Mike's mrncr. It was a treat night for the Irish. The Philadelphia Auditorium, which is the high brow name for the Ice Palace, opened its doois for boxing last night, aud the initial performance was n distinct success. Philadelphia now can boast of having the best boxing auditorium in the United State-, and ome of the globe trotters sny it N the bet in the Torld. Twelve thousand spectators can be accommo dated. There isn't a post in the place, nnd ever body can see what is soing on from any sent on the floor r the balcony. . One of the big features is the (oii'truction of the ring. Instead of ungninlv. heuv ring posts, slender tcd pipe i used, anil tho-o are strengthened by more slender Steel cables, which nre attached to the balconies. Theie is an air of refinement which one seldom experiences in an ordinarv fight club. The huge building U taste fully decoruted and ever.x thing is arranged for the com fort of the spectators. A project like this deseres whole-hearted support from all Philadelphians. The building was designed, built and financed bv George F. Pawling, for years one of the most prominent figures in amateur athletics in America. It was he who first concerted the idea of constructing it huge auditorium for sport, hut up to last night his efforts had not been appreciated. But fume hits ome to him at lust, and he deservis every bit of it. Boxiug shows will be held In the Auditorium throughout the summer, and the big refrigerating plant will keep the temperature, cool on the Inside. THIj bouts Mj nio7if u err i ery intrrcitinn. but. as h7 taid before, there u ere too main of V them.

' Herman Boxed With One Hand THKItK was one bout which seemed to be very un popular, with the fans, and they gave vent to their displeasure in that vociferous manner which is their own and highly original way. Pete Herman boxed Hoy Moore, of St. Paul, nnd from the start the bantam cham pion was handed the "razz," and near the end programs were thrown into the ring. Now. when a crowd of 10,000 hns an idea that some hokum is being put oter by a boxer something must be wrong. It also is well to remember that Philadelphia audiences are the most critical in the world, for there are more opportunities to see boxing shows here fhnn any place else. The crowd knows what's going on, nnd for that rason we wish to submit the following tnefcly as our own opinion : Perhaps Pete Herman did not fight ns hard as he should, but ftom where we were sitting it looked as if the champion wns putting up one of the most Wonder fill battles of his career. Pete had au injured right hand nnd should not hate been In the ring at all. He was asked to appear as a special favor, and because it was the first show he consented to avoid auy disap pointment. Therefore, he boxed tlie ruggrd Moore, who had six pounds advantage, with only one hand the left. lr, six rounds he beat Moore as decisively ns any boxer could beat another, but he did it In such nn easy, cleter man ner that the crowd imagined he was stalling. To my mind Herman1 proted his cluss bejond question of doubt, but that's nnlj a personal opinion. However, had the crowd icalizcd the hnndicap under which the champion wns working, Pete would huve been cheered instead of jeered, for Philadelphia crowds are fuir. It's a pretty tough job to spot it guy like Moore a right hand und then go in and bent him left-handed. While he was doing this Herman had to put up a superb defense, for it didn't tnke Moore long to learn that Pete's right was ns dangerous as a ferocious cream puff. That gave him. more courage and made Herman's job more difficult. rllK other bouts were closely contested. Jimmy Murphy lost n hair-line decision to Spider lloach, and Danny Vrush outclassed llughcy Hutchinson in six louiuh. Hutchinson still has ii lot to learn and has not yd arrived in the irtnd-iip ilais. Chancy Is a Game Guy OSF. of the beit bouts of the etening was between .loe Welling und Geflrge Chnnev. The little Haiti -morean put up u wonderful battle against odds and showed such grit and gametes. that he was given an ovation when he left the ring. One eye was almost dosed, there was cut below the other, his nose was swelled and his lips bleeding. He hml been outpointed, but got the lug hand just the same. The world loves a game guy. In the second lound Welling battered Chancy all over the ring and had him stnggering, but George never flopped although once he grubbed Joe around the neck to keep from falling down. In that session it looked like curtains for the former ktiockotit king, but he man aged to weather the storm. After that he inflicted considerable punishment, aud twice staggered Welling with hard rights to the jaw .loe was watching Chnney's left, and left an opening for n right hook. This made" the Chicago boy wnr, nnd he kept nt a distance from then on. In the sixth' however, he aguin started out for a knockout, but was unable to land the finishing punch.

At the start of the season critics conceded thnt tho Red nnd Hlue varsity and junior eights were ready for a great year. Then came the Tnle nnd Princeton Harvard upsets. Since Monduy Wright has started a housecleaning thnt has become necessary as u result of the ill ness of McKlroy, who wns rowing nt No. fi. McKlroy supplanted Turner at that sent after the Inle race, and was rowing in good form until his illness of n few days ugo. Yesterday he wus re ported as being on a rapid road to re covery, und that he would be out for his old post before the sun sets on the end of tho week. In place of MeKlroy, Wright has been forced to place Kllson, who rowed at No. 7 in both the Ynle find Princeton -Harvard races. When it varsity oarsman is lost some one benefits by the change, nnd Gtien ther is the latest mnn to receive n pro motion. He has been placed on the tursity boat nt No. 7.

Several of the veterans say that he fits in to a T on the vursity, and thnt it would not be nt all surpris ing if lie kept the place for the Henley regatta. With these changes, thf varsity bont is now seated as follows: Ames, 'bow; Captain Keller, No. 2; Hwnn, .1; Hinckley, -1; Copelnnd, 0, und Thoinus, stroke. Tlie junior vnrsily came in for a wholesale housecleaning when Wright dropped Hedcll and Turner, both of whom were strong candidates for the varsity eight in the early season prac tice. Turner especially looked prom ising und but for leaving the crew at a critical time after being demoted tem porarily might still be rowing as u member of the first eight.
