Big Surprise at Ice Palace When He Defeats
Famous Bantam of Columbus, 0.
By ROliKRT W. MAXWEM
Spert Itdlter Kenlns 1'ubllc Ledger
A FAIR of young men who used their right names lind a fight nt the Ice
" Palace Inst night. It was n real bnttle, because one of the young men
was named Phil O'Dewd and the ether was known ns Knockout Jee O'Don
nell. All of which is another way of fcnyrnc they were Irish, en the up-'dnd-tip,
and when that happens there could be nothing cl-c but a light.
It was the feature bout of the evening. Net that It was advertised us u
feature or anything like that, but It just happened te be a misplaced wind-up.
The clash wns held inslde and outside the ropes of the twenty-feet ring and
scheduled for eight sizzling stanzn. Instead, It lasted only a meager three
Ur!teXBdn, nnd nobody kicked except .Mr. O'Dewd. He claimed the tight should
litre ended two rounds before the tiniili.
f The special show was at Itr height when the members of that peaceful
race appeared in the nrena. Seme C000 of Mr. Pnwllng's guests had been
thrilled by two ether bouts which had gene the limit. They were soed bouts,
full of excitement and thlngi like that, and it was hoped that there would
be mere of the fame. There wnv
Fer three rounds Mr. O'Dewd and Mr. O'Donnell mingled in the geed
old-fashioned wu, and at the end if Chapter Three Mr. O'Dewd wan taking
It en the hip. That wns enough. He wns through then and there,
O'Dewd Is a pervin who could emulate a clothespin or take a bath In n
fountain pen. In ether words, he has a husk), athletic build like Cennie
Mack or Jee L)nch. Philip pes-es-cs nn educated left hand, which would
be ai) nt-sct te any boxer in the business. He left -jabbed himself te victory
ever Jee Ljneh a short time age and was considered SDMI boxer in t lie
elect circle. He took en O'Donnell, the well-known blacksmith of Gloucester,
N. J., because Jee is getting old and lin.s every uppenrance of a set-up. Hut
Jee refused te bet. The worm turned and became nn up-set.
The tirst round was cry puthetic. Ter some reason or ether Jnc couldn't
keep his fare out of O'Dewd's list. He kept his eye en exery blew also his
nose, mouth, curs, etc. The first three minutes proved that O'Dewd could
name the spot and score n bull-cje. The heuet blacksmith tried vainly te
box cleverly and performed like a sun-baked sunlish in a rolling cliair. ' lie
did everything but allow the Heck of punches- te pass his map. His tieldlng
average was 1.000 plus.
-.-
J Oil icaved his hands in a hdptcss manner at the i nd nf the round.
lie realised he had sfrrn wan of these things staring him in the
face and did net knew when he would become hopelessly lest in a
blizzard of heiintj gloves.
Mr. O'Donnell Remembers He Is Irish Alse O'Deud
THE second frame wns like the lirst, only mere se. The pride of Glouces
ter, N. J., kept bouncing his ihin oft left and right wallops, nnd felt like
picnic which had been spoiled by n heavy ram. He looked ever te !u loyal
seconds and advisers, who smiled and told him te keep it up and lie would
Wln'fiure. Th figured O'Dewd would get tired or break his hands or some
thing. They could figure like that because the weren't getting hurt.
Then came the third and the sudden awakening. Jeseph remembered his
nationality. "It's Irish 1 am," he muttered, "an" I get le prove it I"
Instead of trying te be clever he rushed out of his corner, swinging both
bands In a most menacing and threatening manner. He was hurling punches
all ever the place, and the guests of Mr. Pawling who sat in the front rows
had te duck under cover.
''Come en an' fight." he shouted, nnd O'Dewd heard the scornful words
Never let it be said that an O'Dewd ever was afraid of un O'Donnell,"
be said as he, tee, recalled the green Hag with the emerald harp.
They mixed. They clashed. They mingled and they collided. Phil
forget his clever left hand, his wonderful footwork, his ring generalship .ln,i
everything else. Real IrMi bleed was surging in his veins, nnd that meant
trouble.
However, It proved te be a snd mistake en O'Dewd's part. A they
steed tee te tee, socking each ether with everything they had, the henc't
blacksmith reached down te the fleer, picked one up and plastered it n-alnst
O'Dewd's chin.
"- Phil flopped, but was up at the count of three. He seemed anxious te
be en the job and didn't want te stay away tee long or he would miss .some
thing. Joe met him again and socked him ever the eye. Then O'Dewil saw
red tnd tasted it. The ble'd ttre-jmei down his face ns he wnded in, both arms
winging. The educated left had been mislaid in his corner.
Jee the Blacksmith was en him like a thirsty customer grabbing an un
guarded bottle of gin. He handed a left hook te the jaw. n right cress te the
head, asserted lefts and rights te the body, followed by right uppercut and
probably a left swing te the ft.ee. If he had anything else in stock he handed
It te Phil, willingly.
COMETHlXfJ had te happen, and it did. O'Dewd couldn't even
stay in the same ring, se he sailed thiemih the ropes and tool; a
long count en the shelf whiih is used by the reporters when they have
time te write what is going en and things like that.
Phil Unconsciously Visits the Reporters
BY THIS time everybody itt the plar,. was ei, his feet except O'Dewd.
Phil was tangled up with the scribe like spaghetti in Santa Clans' whi.
Iters. Joe was in the arena looking for 'omebedy te light, and didn't care
who It was. The battle had turned in his favor, and already lie pictured
himself receiving congratulations from the cents of Gloucester." V. J., uhe'n

But te return te the ring-an O'Dewd did, aided 1 the genial scribes,
who enjoyed the viit ns they alwas enjoy units from unexpected boxers!
In Justice te O'Dewd, however. let it be said that he did net seek te be inter
' viewed or ask for any free write-ups. He didn't say u word.
Phil was pushed back into the ring and Jee welcomed him with out-

Seuth Pliiiadelplii.i Interested
The subject of a public golf ceurse
for the southern section of the city is
being pressed by the citizenry down
there and it deserves every encourage
ment. Philadelphia is entitled te at lenst
three public golf courses and needs them
badly, us the lone course at Cobbs Creek
testifies every day in the year by Its
batllj overcrowded condftlen.
Anyway. In Seuth Philadelphia they
are determined te land a course for thuir
section.
Ilurten C. Simen Is one of the lenders
in the movement down there und is
quietly organizing te put the matter
toeress.
Seme months age a motion wns made
In Councils for a public cnur north
of League Island and south of the resi
dential district of Seuth Philadelphia,
and the motion wns held up te await
the opinion of Director of Public
Works Caven en the wisdom of a
course there. Director Caven said

PENN RELAY RACES
First Western Ceflege te Break

Special Service Race
TWO NEW RELAY EVENTS
TOWA-STATH UNIVERSITY is the
-L first of the prominent universities
and colleges in the Middle AVest te ac
cent the invitation of the University of
Pennsylvania te run in the annual re
lay carnival in this city the last Frl
tlnv nnd Saturday of Ap-ll.
Dr. Geerge Orten, director of the
relays, yesterday received n fermnl
acceptance from the nth'etic authori
ties nt the Western college that they
would have a two-mile team entered
In the annual carnival. Since the so se
called break between the N. C A. A.
and the Eastern colleges, reports have
been current that the Middle Western
nnd Fnr Western colleges would boycott
the Penn carnival.
With Iqwa State blazin? the way. it
is expected that almost all the ether
colleges that have had tennis repre
senting them In the past will be en
hand again thin year. The I'niversi
ties of Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota,
Michigan and Chicago, nil of which
i entered tenms 111 former years, nrc ex
i peeted te nend in their entries shortly.
I It Is said that the 'Western teams
I that will come here will only be these
who figure tliat they have a chance for
victory nt the cnrnlval In their spe
cial events, and that these who de net
1 Imvc fxccntlnnnl teams will net en
ter. The Midwestern teams regard the
Penn relay games as being the nntienal
championship races, and unless they
hae capable tennis probably will re
main out of the carnival.
Last year Iowa State broke the
world's two-mile relay record nt the
Drake relay games; and their move te
come East next year, instead of par
ticipating in the Western games, which
are held en the Fame day as the local
events, augurs well for the micccss of
the Penn games. Last jear the Iowans
finished a close second te Yale in the
raee here and are confident that they
are going te win the ent this year.

Calling Toe Many Fouls a Real Evil,
Says Dr. Fauver
' Mldtllctewii, Conn., Jan. 11. Has-
kctbull is being killed by calling tee
many fouls, in the opinion of Dr. Edgar
Fauver, head of the Wcslcjnn Uni
versity athletic department.
In order te put new life into busket
ball, he sajs, there should be u new
scoring system which would nfakc it lin lin
peHslhle for u team te win un points
scored en fouls alone.
lie would increase the value of u goal
from the fleer te three points, that for
a personal foul te two points nnd allow
one point for goals from technical fouls.
Dr. Fauver snld teday: "There may
be danger In calling tee mnny fouls,
from the spectator's viewpoint, but the
real evil Is the possibility of n team
which I outplayed en the tloer win
ning if one player Is an expert foul
shooter. Dribbling under the new scor
ing would be ubellshed except prepara
tory te sheeting a goal from the fleer
and we would be assured of a faster
passing game."
