netchcr lie was a unanimous second.
'" He Kheuld have taken out plnte-slam insurance for his jaw. That
fragile part of his anatomy was constantly coming In contact with alien fists
tfhich were hurled at him' for no geed purine, and after consciousness was
restored he would receive the usual condolences from the victor. Near the
end of his career hlh opponent would express his -orrew before the light and
hive it ever with.
' Just the same, l'eter was one of the most popular Ashlers who drew
eh a gloe. He hud thousands of ndmlrers, and they would back him te the
limit every time lie fought. The money let en Mnhcr by his admiring coun
trymen would have purchased freedom for Ireland it couple of times.
,. I'cter lived in Philadelphia and did most of ills fighting there the la't
eight years he was in the ring. Occasionally he would put up n geed fight,
lint most of the time he was used te boost the reputation of a coming
heavyweight.

Modern Fighters Would Be Easy for Maher
A 8 WAS said before, Peter was a bard hitter, and if lie were in his prime
f. today he could mnke u fortune. The modern crop of heavyweights, with
the exception of luck Dcmpsej. would hate been easy for him, according te
jhese who have seen him in action. Mnhcr hit straight nnd hard, and when
ne connected the ether fellow usually was through for the evening. The only
trouble was that Peter ued te let the ether man land first. Then he landed
en his back.
L Peter was champion of Ireland nnd came here in 1S01. While working
a brewery in Dublin he met an IrMi pugilist who claimed the championship
i$nd Mnhcr wen the fight, which lasted two hours and forty minutes. The
name of his opponent is net given In the record, but perhiips It doesn't
matter. Prem that time Peter became a drawing card and wen beveral bouts
In Ireland and Kugland.
i In March, 1SD1. he knocked out "Hubbies' Daly in this city, and two
tjtys later handed the same treatment te Jim Daly. He was going geed
then, and after n few mere triumphs was matched te be Iob riVz"lmmens in
?w Orleans. This was n mistake in mere wajs than one, Pitz wen, but
Mnhcr had net journeyed from Ireland te meet him. He originally was
booked te wallop the great and only Jehn It. Sullivan.
j He had been dlsceercd by Hill. Madden, who had split with Jehn T.,.
and was touring the world te find a man te tnke the title nway from the
champion. The match never came off, and perhaps it was all for the best.
Instead, Fitzsimmons. thai middleweight champion, was selected, and Beb
wen In twelve rounds.
f Mnher was an iniand-eut fighter. Sometimes he was like a game cock,
and en ether occasions he would drop gently te the canvas, rest his head en
his arms nnd listen te the count. He showed this trait 'n the battle with
Fltx en March 2. 1M)2. Here is the last
"Toward the end of the twelfth
1 lenth. Mahcr told Fitz privately that

libld It because of the activity of the officers of the well-known law. Fiimlh
ftngtry was discovered and the battlers and audience made n quick trip en
special train.
W The fight was short nnd sweet. Ne sooner hnd the spectators gathered
ijeund the ring and settled down te witness what they expected te be n
lng-drnwn-eut affair, than Maher's left fist crashed against Fitzsimmons
jjw. Beb dropped in a heap, completely out. The referee Btartcd a per-
Snctery count and was the most surprised man in the place when Fitz
niggled te his feet nt the count Of nine. Peter also was slightly chagrined.
Beb staggered toward his opponent and Maher prepared te land one
mere wallop which would finish him for geed.
But the blew never landed. Fitz, using all of his strength in a final
desnerate effort, swung his right and it caught Peter en the chin. Down
he went and was counted out.
ALL of this happened in about
old-timers still talk of the fight

u Twe Hardest Blews Ever Struck in Ring
PETER could hit, but he wasted many knockout wallops. He surtly
wasted one, but made history In Philade'phin en the night d December 1,
1902, when he met and was flattened by Kid Carter nt the National. The
flfht bad all of the earmarks of th Langtry affair, enl it lasted longer. It
was ever in the Teeml round.
. Kid Carter never Knew when he was licked. He could take all kinds of
punishment nnd come up fur mere se long as he was able, That trait gaved
hlni from defeat when he nut Mulier.
This bnttle, like the ethers, was before our time spertively speaking
and the dope has been drugged out of the musty old files. We ran ncressnn
interview with a prominent bpertsman of that day urn he commented as
follewH :
"I think the two hnrdest blows I ever saw truek in a ring were de
livered within ten seconds of each ether in the Mnher-Carter bout. Mnher
threw his fumeus wallop ever against Carter's jaw. The Kid neiuly turned
a somersault und land(d en his head. Peter walked uwaj. jt didn't seem
possible for Carter te et up ngaln.
5 "But he did, and spreading his feet, waited for Peter te continue As
Maher stepped in Carter swung one from the knees and caught Peter "flush

Spring Signs
Although I'm net a weather man, well
versed in wtaiher stuff,
With any knack for prophecy en breezes
fair or rough;
Although along the shifting turna I
never ccm te knew
Just what the climate's planning in
regard te sun or snow,
There's still a certain Up at hand that
never seems te ctack.
Where any one may call the turn along
an open track
Where you can whisper ie yourself that
sprina is drawing near
When the held-out and the robin and
the training camps appear.
Yes, I may stumble new and then en
Harvard versus Yale.
And who am I te knew that Stagg can
twist the Tiger's tail?
And when the fighters in their jousts
begin te count the gate,
The dope I spring may often show the
fickleness of fatr.
But one old two-ply cinch remains that
never gees astray,
As certain as the tents of night are
pitched above the day.
Where you can bet your final shirt that
spring is arawtna near
When robins lead the held-outs in and
training camps appear.
The Allotted Number
IT HAS been argued by many wivants
of the resin that the average boxer
hn'i just se many fights In bis system,
and that once the supply is exhausted
his days nt the top arc' numbered,
whether he be young or net.
They cite the case of Pltr.stmmens,
who, by starting late, wah able te pro
long his htny in the rlnj te advanced
ycais before the allotted number of con
tests gave out.
There is something te this.
Fitzsimmons, almost unknown at
twenty-six, was still n great fighter at
thli'tv-iix or thirty-eight.
Leenard and Cnrpcntler, starting!
early, around fifteen or sixteen, will
be of little use ns rlngmcu when tliey j
have come te thirty-five.
The Case of Leenard
Ll should be In the pink or purple,
a- I..AV , On .A.ln.. n,. .l.rt r.n-u f
prime of fighting life.
Hut l.e-ennrd ii; n veteran for all that,
nnd it will net be long before he is
drifting down hill.
lie was net the same old Leenaid in
his last battle with "Recky " Ka;isa.
where he was able te give battle only
in thiKheh nt one moment :i master
workman, at the next apparently con
tent te merely last the fifteen rounds.
The consistent speed nnd yip of his
top htuff was missing.
Yeung ami Old
LEONARD was bem April 7, 1800.
He will net be twenty-six jcars

Yet the records show that in 101 -.
wheiThe was but sixteen year ehl. he
carried out twenty two ring engage

throughout the year. ,
This, was crowding in quite an drin
ful of work for a sixteen-year-old kid.
He haH been at It new- for ten carn.
and ten years is no brief time te spend
In the realm of the resin, where the
wear nnd tear arc rarely light.
