Italian Loses .Fall, Then

Quits Ring, Thinking He Has Taken Second.

New Tork, Dec. 26. The handicap

wrestling match at Madison Square Garden last night between Giovanni

Raisevich and Stanislaus Zbyszko came to an abrunt termination and re

sulted in a no decision affair, according to the referee, Tom Jenkins.

The result was Unsatisfactory be

cause Referee Jenkins failed to render

a decision on a questionable foul. Raicevich misconstrued Jenkins' interpretations of going back on the mat. At the time four minutes and thirty seconds after the resumption of hos

tilities after the first fall Raisevich almost had Zbyszko's shoulders to the mat. The latter worked him away off the canvas. Jenkins then tapped Raicevich on the back, meaning for him to get back on the mat. Raicevich thought that he had gained the

fall legitimately and walked from the arena. His followers created a wild scene, thinking that their champion had been victorious. Raicevich could not get back to the ring, for his countrymen were insistent in defending their idol. Zbyszko gained the first fall in 37 minutes and 50 seconds. In the articles of agreement It had been stipulated that Zbyszko had to secure three falls in ninety minutes of actual wrestling.

California Negro Proves Too Clever for Beggar Sam in . Hard-Fought Battle at Sydney.

Sydney, N. S, W., Dec. 26. Sam Langford's hopes of supplanting Jack Johnson as the heavyweight champion of the world were crushed today when the squatty negro mauler with one of the most terrible punches in the ring was cleanly outpointed by Sam McVea in a twenty-round contest at Rushcutter's Bay.' The fight went the limit and the referee's decision in favor.- of the California negro met with the approval of the critics who jammed about the ringside. Both men showed great ability to assimilate punishment, the blows carrying terrific force throughout. " McVea put up an excellent fight, his cleverness recalling to the fans the work of Johnson in the same ring three years ago when he became the first colored heavyweight champion of

the world by humbling Tommy Burns,"

in fourteen rounds of one-sided boxing. Today's contest, like that of three years ago, was a struggle between a small man and a tall boxer and the bigger man won agaiij. As in the

Johnson-Burns fight, this battle was-

decided in favor of the scrapper with the better left hand. ' The victor kept shooting a fast left through Langford's guard and several times had him in distress from the effect of his cutting punches. Langford, ' who has been known as a one-punch fighter and a man who does not care to travel over a long route, began to weaken as the contest neared the lim

it, while JlcVea stood up well undr the strain of the hard milling. The battle today was the second between the pair, the first one having gone twenty rounds to a draw in Paris. Hugh Mcintosh, who promoted the fight, is negotiating with Johnson and hopes to have the champion defend his title, against McVea here next spring. Johnson thus far has held out for more money v than the local promoter cares to give, but Mcintosh is confident he will be able to get the champion to compromise and take something less than the $30,000 he insists he must have for his end of the purse no matter what the outcome may be.
