WARM IIP ROUSH, KOPF TO BOLSTER REDLEGS; RAIN POSTPONES FRAY
ST. LOUIS. Mo... April' 29. Rain stopped the first of the series between the Cardinals and the Reds at St. Louis, Thursday.' A iard cold rain which started about '2 o'clock made it impossible 'to play a game giving both teams a day of rest.- . Eddie Roush, star outfielder of the Reds, -was (waiting at St. Louis when the Reds arrived. Roush is in very good condition having worked out at -his home during his holdout period. Roush, with Manager Moran, Kopf, Luque and Wingo went to the park earlv and Eddie and Kopf got a hard
workout before the storm blew up. i Roush chased flies in the outfield and Kopf handled ground balls In the infield. After the fielding work both men had some batting practice. Manager Moran stated that he would send Roush to center field as soon as Commissioner Landis declared Eddie was eligible to play again. This will move See over to right field and Bressler will be given a utility job. Rixey to Pitch Eppa Rixey is scheduled to pitch the opening game of the series here Friday. - Rixey's one victory to date was over the Cardinals in Cincinnati, which he won himself with a line drive in the ninth inning. He is confident that he can repeat and keep the Reds on their winning streak. All the Reds and Pat Moran wish is that the Cards do not recover from their form during the present series. Thursday's postponed game will be played off as the second half of a
the last trip of the Reds to St. Louis. Moran protested strongly to the date, as both teams have an off date here next Monday and he urged that the game should be played off then instead of being doubled up in August.
Ban Johnson, Once Sport Writer, Tells Yarn of Battle in Woods
CLUB RECORDS Three special trains ran out of New Orleans on the night of July 7, 1899 "destination unknown." These trains, made up only of day coaches, were beaded into Mississippi, for the John L. Sullivan-Jake Kilrain fight but no one knew the exact location. That was because governors of the various states in the Southland had barred the fight. But the engineers.
after reaching Lake Pontchartrain,
La., were given orders to proceedt to Richburg, Miss. i Ban Johnson, now president of the American League, then a sport writer, was aboard one of the trains.

WIRELESS TELEPHONE REPORTS RING FIGHT
(By Associated Press) PITTSBURGH, April 29. Unique in the annals of journalism and newspaper enterprise was the achievement
recently of the Pittsburgh Post wnicn reported by wireless telephone the fight of Johnny Ray, of Pittsburgh,, and Johnny Dundee, of New York, lightweights. Instantaneous news service of the fight, round by round and blow by blow was given by the Post reporter at the ringside, enabling the paper to have an extra on the streets i few minutes after the last gong sounded. Reports from all over the county indicate that wirelss telephone operators were treated to the action of the ring battle with all the realism of each blow and each bit of ring strategy enacted the instant it occurred. An Associated Press dispatch from Hartford, Conn., stated that the Dundee-Ray boxing match was "heard" in Hartford. "A -wireless telephone brought the sounds of the conflict, the clang of the gong and the shouts of the fans to a group of wireless enthusiasts assembled at a private radio station," tbe dispatch said. Hiram Percy Maxim, the wireless expert, was present.
suffocation," recounted Johnson. "'Hundreds of fight enthusiasts, unable to afford the railroad fare, determined to steal their way to the battle
ground. About 200 of them climbed to the tops of the coaches on our train and there they clung until we made the stop at Lake Pontchartrain. "Railroad officials then ordered the men to come down. They refused. Some officials pulled out a gun and began shooting into the air. About
one second latter those fellows on top of the cars began to come down in precipitate fashion. Jump Into Swamps They didn't wait to climb down. They jumped into the little swamps on each side of the track. The sight of them escaping and the sound of their plop! plop! as they leaped into the mud there, reminded one of gigantic frogs-leaping around through a starlit night. "We arrived at the battle-ground a trifle more than 100 miles from New Orleans about 6 o'clock in the morning. The crowd numbered about

ENTERTAIN JOHNNY EVERS. PITTSBURGH, April 29. Johnny Severs manager of the Chicago club of 'lie National League, which makes its initial appearance at Forbes Field against the Pirates today, will be entertained at a luncheon by 24 overseas secretaries of the Knights of Columbus in this district at 'noon today.
2,400 and a portion of it was armed. Many had expected that a little shooting would be done and they xame prepared to take part in any fireworks entertainment. But nothing happened. "Little time was lost in laying out the ring on the dewy turf and the fighters got busy without delay. I was a violent Sullivan partisan and although 1 didn't bet on the contest myself, many of my friends had wagered rather heavilyy on my say-ao that
Sullivan was in fighting shape and was a sure winner. Lets Out Yell. "The first round had just started and the crowd had settled back in the rough and poorly built seats. John struck Jake a powerful right hander and because of my joy over it I let out a wild 'Oh, hurray for Blucher and his bleeding army. "The familiar expression caught Sully's ear. -He deliberately turned around and began to search the faces of the crowd for the person who had cheered for him. Just as he caught my eye, Kilrain, taking advantage of
Sully's lack of alertness, had rushed the champion while his back was turned. "Kilrain might have won the fight then and there if he had been fully awake to his opportunity. Jake could hit with crushing power and a blow then to Sully's chin might have finished the champion in the first round or, at the worst, hurt John so badly that he could have been nished in a few more rounds.
"But Kilrain was so excited that he just rushed John L., grabbed him in his huge arms, tried to smash him in a clinch, failed and 'then threw John L. heavily to the ground.. " That ended the round and gave it to Kilrain. That fight, it may be recalled, was bare knuckles and under the London prize rules which permitted wrestling and.throwing as well as punching. Each round ended when one of the fighters was on the turf. Stifles Cheers. "That was the only round which Sully lost in the whole fight and I lost it for him. Ever afterward I
j carefully refrained from any ringside
outnurst for a favorite fighter. "The day was terrifically hot. I've never known any like it. As the morning wore on and the heat became fiercer and fiercer, it was a question as to who was suffering the most the fighters or the crowd. Most of the spectators had been two nights without sleep because the original plans called for staging the battle the day before and the crowd had waited all night in the railroad station so as not to miss the train. They stayed up the next day and then

me leninc sun ior many hours on the fight day. "In American history. I don'tthink there is anlnstance of where a fight crowd suffered more Jo see a championship clash. All through the audience men fainted from exhaustion or were overcome .by heat. .To. add. to the hardship one section of the crude stands collapsed but, fortunately, no one was seriously hurt. Sully Triumphs "The story of the fight is easily told. It was Sullivan all the way. Kilrain prolonged it into 75 rounds by falling to the turf again and again without being hit. It wasn't trickery on his part. It was sheer exhaustion. For Kilrain was terribly beaten. "When the end came, the crowd rushed for the trains. I -was slowly getting away. Then I discovered that some of the notes which I had taken on the fight were missing. 1 went back to the battle-ground. Everyone had gone except one man. And that man was Kilrain. "He sat in his corner, a bleeding ghastly sight; beaten almost to unconsciousness; babbling incoherently; deserted by his admirers; deserted by his seconds deserted by all. A blazing sun burned down upon his uncovered head. In all my life I have seen many pathetic sights but none more, so than that of Jake Kilrain. sprawling helpless, alone in the turf that was soaked with his own blood.
Saves Jake "I hailed a negro, who was passing in a cart and with his help I trundled Kilrain into the wagon. I steadied Kilrain's body in the cart to save him from unnecessary jolting and so it was that Jake Kilrain made the trip from the battle-ground to the train; only a short walk at most but one infinitely too long for Kilrain hrnkon
bleeding and battered, to have made alone. 'I've often wondered in the ypars since just what would have happened to Kilrain if I hadn't had to go back to the ringside for my lost notes. (Copyright mi ny .Klnc Features Syndicate, Ino..

The month of May will soon. be here, Of which the poets sing. And then comes June, in which the girls ' Talk much about the ring. Mentioning the ring proposition reminds us that everybody is talking about the ring and the two gentlemen who- will get together July 2 at Jersey City. There is a great deal of similarity between the two rings the wedding and the fight. In the boxing ring both principals are roped in, while in the wedding only one occasionally complains that he was roped in. A difference is that in a wedding ring all the gold goes on the outside, while in tbe fight ring most of the gold goes to those on the inside.
