FRIDAY EVENING.
ln the old Cleveland Athletic
Club on tho night of the battle, and
the ringside laughed at him.
Gans smiled slyly as he looked
across the ring at the lanky light
weight, but the smile left the faces
of the 3,000 men in the arena be
fore the first round was half finished.
Grim wrinkles replaced Gans' con-
I fldent smile, too, for the lanky freak
: was slashing the dusky dancer at
' will and made Joe look bad as a
I champion.
Those who had backed Gans soon
were aware of the fact that they had
underrated the white man's abillty
i and punching power.
Made Gans Weep
The second round was one of the
blackest that Gans ever feathered j
in his career. From the tap of the I
i gong Garrard tore into Gans drove j
j him about the ring and punched him
fso hard that tears came to Joe's !
! eyes.
| In the last minute of the second j
I round Gans went into a clinch in the
i middle of the ring to save himself ]
j from tliesevere punishment, and j
! when they broke away Garrard, |
1 swinging a terrific left to Gail's jaw. J
j sent the champion to the floor.
Garrard thought he was the new j
j champion and turned away to his j
corner. s
I The crowd stood up and started to j
I move toward the exits as the referee
j counted up to nine, but Gans man
' aged to* get to his feet, and as he
i stood there dazed the bell saved
' him.
; Gans was revived in his corner,
; and after this fought the most cau
| tious fight of his life.
In the twelfth round Gans cut
I open some old scars over Garrard's
' eyes which bled profusely, and the
I latter was nearly blind in the fif
teenth, but was standing Gans off
when the chief of police ordered the
fight stopped.
Many Cliicagoans who saw Gans j
fight Garrard and later battle Nel- J
son 45 rounds, declare that Gans j
was more firiglitened and fought
j more cautiously against Garrard
| than he did when he beat the Dur- .
able Dane.
Many efforts were made after this |
to rematch Gans for another cham- [
pionship battle with Garrard, but
the dusky fighter always shied clear
of the freak lightweight who maul
ed him so unmercifully right up to
the fifteenth round.
Gans has fought his last fight, but
Garrard, his old opponent, looks as
healthy and sturdy as ever, and be
sides being a steady-going letter

PACIFIC COAST
ISSUES DEFY IN
TRAPSHOOTING
Claiming That Troeli, Beaten
by Heer, Is Best, Demands
Another Tourney
That Frank M. Troch, of Vancou
ver, W asli., is the best trapshooter in
the land, notwithstanding his defeat
by Billy Heer. is the opinion of the
trapshooting fraternity along the Pa
cific coast.
Troch and Heer, it will be remem
bered, shot a 500-target match last
June as the feature event of the
Northwest Sportsmen's Association
tournament at Seattle, Wash. Heer
won by four targets and his backers
gathered in a bushel of Liberty
Bonds.
The sportsmen who backed Troch
believe that the rightful home of
those Liberty Bonds is on the west
coast, and they are confident that if
Troch is given another opportunity
he can bring them back to their
proper roosting place.
The Northwest Sportsmen's Asso
ciation tournament this year will be
held under the auspices of the Port
land (Ore.) Gun Club at Everding
Park, in May, and the feature event
once more will be a match between
Frank Troch and a trapshooter to
be decided by the country at large.
In due course of time the North
west Sportsmen's Association will
Issue a defi in behalf of Troch, and
will at that time name the conditions
under which the match wil be shot.
The idea at this time is to issue a
challenge to any shooter in the world
—amateur or professional—for a
500-target event, spread over three
days. Instead of the two contestants
shooting, however, three other liigh
class amateurs shooters —the best
that can'be procured—will be placed
in the squad, making five men at
the traps.
Last year Troch and Heer shot
alone.
" There is a feeling that Troch is a
better shooter in a squad than he is
in a competition tn which only two
are shooting. This may or may not
be true, but competition in which
only two are shooting better when
in a squad than when participating
in an individual match. Many shoot
ers are much better in squad shoot
ing than in Individual match shoot
ing—and know some others who can
break more targets the faster they
shoot.
Anyway, the Northwest Sports
men's Association is going at the
event early enough to get a number
of stars on the heels of Troch before
the snow gets oft the ground.

Lancaster Gets Cold Feet
Declining Tech Game;
Soldiers Play Tonight
Tech High School basketball toss
ers were to open their Central Penn
basketball schedule this evening,
playing Lancaster High School, at
Chestnut Street Hall. The varsity
contest will begin at 8.15, with Dave
McConnell officiating. Prior to this
affair, the Sophs will oppose the Jun
iors, starting at 7.30. This contest
will be played to a conclusion before
the big game.
Scheduled to play Lancaster, the
Maroons will not meet the Red
Roses, but patrons will have a
chance to see the Marsh Run Army
Reservation team' in action. It all
happened this way:
After dilly-dallying around for
several years, Lancaster High School
finally got together five players to
represent the institution in the cage.
That was before they knew Tech
had been making athletic history.
Now they; seem to be looking for an
excuse to get out of the league, or
at least to keep from playing Tech,
so-ffiey dropped Percy Grubb several
telegrams and night letters dictating
terms and refusing to play if one
Carl Beck was in the same cage. The
read one of these yellow letters they
sent this way would lead one to think
Lancaster owned the league, and
that the league would just simply
"bust" without them.
Well, to make this story short.
Beck has ceased playing with the In
dependents and has donned the Ma
roon. The case was placed before
the executive committee of the P. I.
A. A., and that body decided that
playing on two teams by members of
the league must stop at once. And
that players who discontinue playing
will be In good standing in the
league. Miller, of Lebanon, has been
doing the same as Beck in playihg
with the Lebanon Professionals. Just
AROUND THE BASES
If you have a heart for bird life,
put some suet out in your yard, where
the feathery little ones can snatch a
bite of fat, which warms their tiny
bodies and is a practical lifesavor
with snow on the ground and every
thing frosen. Even sportsmen this
season are showing a kind heart for
the birds, many of them refraining
from shooting quail because they are
scarce.
New York's new Governor, Smith,
of Brooklyn, made the Gotham box
ing fans happy yesterday, saying if
the Republican Legislature passed a
bill legalizing boxing in the state he
would approve It. It Is practically
certain that all DemocAts in both
houses would vote to re-est iblish
boxing. There are fifty-five Demo
crats in the Assembly and twenty
five in the Senate. With the votes
of these members certain in support
of the measure, it will be necessary
to recruit twenty-one Republicans in
the Assembly and four in the Sen
ate to put the bill through and pass
it on to Governor Smith for his sig
nature.

Greenwald made 257, 210 and 265 for

In the final game she made eleven
out of a possible twelve strikes and
was only beaten out of a perfect
score by a 6-7-10 split in the third
frarpe. Her score of 732 is a reco:d
for the alleys, the previous high to

tor with a loaded ball.
Mrs. Greenwald's team ran up a
score of 2,818 to 2,745 scored by a

ray clipped three-fifths' of a second
from the world's swimming record
for the 100 yarde back stroke last
two weeks ago Reading High School
played an alumni team made up of
professionals. The Teeh manage
ment refused to allow Beck to play
so long as he participated With the
Independents. Now thut the Tech
athlete has decided to place school
spirit first, it would r>e unfair to him
to keep him out of the Tech lineup.
At that rate, he would be playing
with neither quintet.
Tech is anxious to meet Lancaster
and would have shown the visitors
every courtesy. But when it comes
to dictating terms, especially con
cerning the contest in this city, Tech
wants something to say. The rules
of the P. I. A. A. gover l the Central
Penn League, with the executive
committee in control. With consent
coming from that committee making
Beck and Miller eligible, providing
they cease to play at cncc, Tech is
breaking no rules of the league, and
Carl Beck is going to play.
Should Lancaster decide not to
take a chance, patrons will see just
as good a contest with the Marsh
Run Army Reservation team as a
substitute. There will positively be,
a game and Carl Beck will play.'
Johnny Beck will also play. This lad]

National League club, announced yes

would train at home next spring, as
the regular sfason will not start un
til May. The entire month of April
win be devoted to practice among
the home team players, but It may
be that inter-league games will be
arranged with several American
League teams.
"1 do not see why we should send
our team South in April, when the
v eather is just as pleasant at home
as it is in the South," said Herrmann.
"It looks Uke both the National and
American Leagues will adopt a 140-
game schedule at the joint meeting
in New York on January 16 and this
will mean that all the teams, except
those in seacoast towns, will spend
the month of April at home practicing
for the opening of the regular play

saving tjo the club owners."
