LESTER BEATEN BY DAVE

1ITH

Tommy Burns

A Sound Beating From A Much Smaller Man

San Francisco, Feb. 7. Jack Lester's cup-of bitterness was filled to the spilling point when he was badly beaten by Dave Smith of New Zealand, at the Rushcutters Bay stadium, Sydney, Australia, on New Year's night, and, strange to say, the cable, which as a rule keeps us well posted in regard to the happenings in Hugh D. Mcintosh's arena, did not flash us the news of poor Jack's misfortune. On this particular occasion Tommy Burns was in Lester's corner. The con test was for a belt "emblematic of the championship of the British empire." and, of course, the usual slice of the gate receipts. Leter weighed 171 and Smith 166. and Lester was the favorite in the betting at odds of 5 to 4. According to reports of the battle Just to hand, Lester was outfought at every point. He made a rushing fight of it, but the New Zealander avoided him without trouble and rained blows on the Cle-Elum heavyweight's face and body. Lester was knocked off his feet in the eighth round and it was with difficulty that he held himself together in the- twelfth. The thirteenth round was also a distressing one for Lester. According to one Australian sport writer oV. miici, umuu iiauiiiwroa ins American an over tne; ring, hitting him at will. Lester was CLOSES M'FARLAHD'S LEFT EYE Burns Obscures Packey's Vision, But Loses Points. on New York, Feb. 7. Although he was outpointed in a fast ten-round bout at the Fairmont A. C. last night. "Kid" nuniB, me local boxer, was proud of the fact that he closed Packey McFarlancTs left eye so tight that vision was obscured. Burns landed a heavy blow on the Chicago wizard's optic in the ninth round. The eye dwelled so rapIdly that ringside spectators were astonished. McFarland had not received a black eye in many months. Except for the brief honor of th ninth round Burns was outclassed. McFarland tried hard to put him out on several occasions, but the local boy "V too strong and managed to keep his feet through a terrific fire. In the tenth round McFarland tore In with a left to the nock and Burns began to slug for all he was worth. Both landed stiff punches oxf the head, and as Burns held his own the crowd went wiju. jmcj1 anana had the greater! speed and stamina, however, and put Burns on the ropes. Burns mixed it, but McFarland staggered him with a right swing to the neck. The punch weakened Burns and he lost his steam. Nearly 3,000 fans saw th battle and many more were turned away. YEA, BO! IT WAS A GREAT GAME Some bowling game, tha between the Lion Store clothing and grocery departments Monday afternoon and the spectators say it was well worth the price of admission and even better than the best vaudeville bill ever staged. It even had McTntyre and Heath's comedy beat to a frazzle. -Js:

A KNOCKOUT 'DROP.

Bather an interesting story is and in the other institutions of the dlamapolls boy, Ia known. Hawkins,

ridge high school, went to Wabash college, and made the eleven there as quarterback. He played good ball for the Little Giants, but did not stay long at the Crawfordsville institution. He went to the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia. Being too light for the eleven at Pennsy he turned ill his Athletic attention toward boxing. He had done considerable boxing at Shortrldge and at Wabash - His brother, too, is a clever amateur boxer, and Paul worked out with him frequently. Boxing as a lightweight, and under strictly amateur rules, Hawkins won the lightweight championship of the University of Pennsylvania He defeated the best amateurs that could be found for him, arid ttten some friends arranged a match between him and link Russell, at one of the downtown Philadelphia athletic clubs. Her Hawkins boxed under an assumed name. The ' date of the bout has not been divulged. Unk Russell, as Indianapolis ring followers know, Is a man who a few years ago was one of the topnotch lightweights. He has outgrown the class of late, however, and now fights as a welter. He is a dangerously clever, hard hitting man, older and much more mature than Hawkins. But, under the assumed name, Hawkins went Into the ring with Russell. Unk used h U cleverness and soon had an advantage. He landed one on Paul's jaw early In the bout and broke it on one side. 'A little bit later he landed on Paul's Jaw again and broke it on the other side. The Indianapolis boy is solid grit, and stuck to his knitting. Before the end of the sixth round he had overcome Russell's advantage, and not only that, took the lead. In the last round he knocked out the Philadelphia fighter cold. According to reports it was not due to Russell's condition or lack of condition. Paul caught him several clean punches in succession and drop ped him. according to report. Just how much truth there is in the story tio one seems to know, for Hawkins, who is the only Indianapolis person who knows the truth of the matter, has not told. At any rate, it is all probable. The 191 boxing record, under Russell's name, makes no mention of the bout, and, of course, Hawkins' name Is not Hted.

IN AUSTRALIA

White Hope Takes knocked down once, but arose when seven seconds had ticked away.He was rolling around the ring when the bell rang, and Burns was urged to acknowledge defeat for his man. f Of the thirteen round the writer already referred to says: "Lester had no defense and was no longer dangerous. Smith's tremendous rights to the body as Lester covered his jaws, took all that was left out of the Burns white hope. Smith swung the left again, fair across the nose and banged t ha right to the .body. Lester j wouia nave ranen, but he grabbed and held on. "While holding Lester loosed his left and struck a. deliberatelv foul The police officers immediately sprang! to their feet and ordered a halt and 1 the referee declared Smith the winner." It can be seen with half an eye that me reports or tne affair which have reached here are biased. They revile Burns and Lester throughout and are rather fulsome in their praise of Smith, the New Zealander. The fact remains, however, that Lester was badly trounced by a man much lighter than himself. As Lester had already been beaten a number of times in Australia, it is but rrnmn.M. to suppose mat tie Will no Innirw k rated as one of the race. hopes of the white It was a shame the way the grocery boys trimmed the clothiers and when the curtain went down in the last act the program read nothing more than three straight. It was a sad half-holiday for the clothiers and they hope If it ever happens again that there will be few spectators to witness It. In the neighborhood of 76 admirers of Charley Long came to see the dark horse clean 'em up, but he failed to materialize as such and now his friends ay he made a botch of the series. A number of lady, friends in the gallery is said to be the cause of his downfall, for every time Charley looked around he was sure to pick a. cherry. Nuff aid. Between the acts lunch was served at Smith's in the rear and following the last act the crowd took desert at the Union cafe. grocers 1st. 2d.

Coach RePhiladelphia, Pa.. Feb. 7.

"The changed ru1e mean that hereafter. the best. team will win and win by a handsome score. I am a little disappointed, for I like to see the smaller fellows have a chance. "The additional down, the fact that the forward pass is legal anywhere, and the retention efthe same distance to be gained have made the game a great one from the offensive ' standpoint. - A team can march right , down the field for touchdowns. A small team with: a great kicker will no longer have a chance of carrying off the honors bv drop kicking, for it will take three jroals from the field to better a score from touchdown.
