THE JIOKM.MJ OKEGOXIAX, FRIDAY. MAY 15, 1908. T UNWIELDY BOER Unholz Only Stays Eleven Rounds With Negro Champion. FOURTH KNOCKDOWN FINAL Cans EaMly Solves Boer's Clumsy Defense, and Pugnacity Without Skill Falls Betting Strongly Favors Hie Negro. SAN" FRANCISCO. May 14. Joe Gans, the lightweight champion, udded an other victory to his long string tonight ty defeating Rudolph Unholz, the rug ged Iloer from South Africa, in the 31th round. The fight was Gans' all the way through. He systematically beat down Vnholz, and the referee Interfered In the 31th round, as Vnholz was practicaly knocked out. Although Gans held the tight at all stage?, he had no easy time in solving the awkward defense of Un holz and in overcoming his natural ptamlna. Knocked Down, but Full. of Fight.' The first knockdown occurred In the fourth round, Gans whipping in a terrific left uppercut to the point of the chin. Vnholz got up promptly and came back full of fight, but although willing at all times to mix it and never afraid of the clever Clans, his wild efforts were most ly unavailing. In the seventh rund Gans knocked I'nholz down with a rigtit uppercut to the chin, and one of the letter's seconds, losing his head, tossed a towel into the ring and quickly crawled through the ropes. Unholz got up promptly and made a wicked attempt to strike his second, who quickly crawled back out eidn the ropes, nnd the fight went on. From this time on it was only a ques tion of how long I'nholz would be able to stand the punishment that Gans was ending In with both hands. Gans' Knockout Punch. In the tenth round he sent the Boer to the floor again and he got up dazed and unsteady. The unequal combat was prolonged into the 11th round, when, with a series of short-arm jolts. Gans sent the willing but awkward Boer down with a wicked uppercut to the chin. Unholz got up completely blinded and unable to see his opponent. Gans. seeing the condition of Vnholz. humanely stood aside, and Ref rree Welch stepped in and gave the de cision to the champion: Both Men Vndcr Weight. The fight was scheduled for 20 rounds, u-aii was for the world's lightweight championship and a guaranteed percent age of the gate receipts. Owing to the fact that Unholz has never appeared in a local arena before tonight, interest, in the outcome was at a low ebb. but' in spite of this fact Coliseum Kink was crowded when the signal was given for the fighters to give battle. The men weighed in stripped at the ringside short ly before commencing hostilities'' the scales being set at the 133-pound mark, according to tlte articles of agreement. As both have been under weight for sev eral days, there was no stir when they jumped on the scales, which were set in midring and failed to move the beams. Big Odds on Guns. netting on the general result was light, with the odds favoring Gans at 10 to 3'j. There was much speculation on the length of the contest, however, even money being wagered that I'nholz would not stay 1'u rounds. The splendid show ing made by the latter in ills recent fights with Battling Nelson and George Jlemslc at los Angeles, in which he is credited with having had much the bet ter of his opponents, was the means of bringing the Boer ninth support that he would stay the limit, and many heavy wagers were risked in this way. The main event was preceded by two plx-round bouts, the first between Tom my Herman and W. O. Smith, and the second between Charlie Lucca, of Chi cago, and Billy Purtell, of this city. CONFIDENT OF WINNING TEAM Sullivan Discusses American Pros pects lit Olympic Games. NF.W YORK, May 14. Following the Pacific Coast tryouts which were held at Stanford University, in California, members of the Olympic committee are jubilant over the fact that every thing now points to a winning team to represent the United States In Lon don in July. "The only thing that is worrying us now," said James K. Sullivan, secre tary of the committee, "is the picking of the team. That is a hard problem. - "Within the last month reports have been received from all over the coun try, stating that some athlete has been breaking world's records In practice. If these reports are true, there will be many upsets when all the tryouts are held, and perhaps some of those who were looked on as sure -winners will of necessity be left at home. "Of course this will- not happen if we receive enough money. At pres ent we have sufficient to send a win ning team, but I am in hopes that be fore the ,boys sail on June 21 there will be enough to send every athlete .who has a chance of gaining a point." Experts say they cannot see how such men as Shaw of Dartmouth and For- 'rest Smlthson of Multnomah Club are going to loso In the high hurdles. Mar . tin W. Sheridan with the discus; Mel- . vin Sheppard, in the middle distance; McGrath and Flanagan in the weight events; Glarner in the quarter mile; Dray or Yale in the polevault; Porter in tho high jump; Ray Kinery in the standing. Jump; Bellars and Bonhag in the distance runs; Dan Kelly lu the broad jump: James Sullivan In the mile run; Coe and Rose in the shotput, and Garrels in any of the specialties he -trains for and competes In. Mr. Sullivan expects to have at least J1S.0O0 by June 13.. This amount will en able the committee to pick from. 40 to 50 men. With this number, every member of the committee is sanguine of success. GANS KNOCKS OU . KOSS-COVNTBV BIN PLANS 'V. M. C. A. Hare and Hounds Con test Scheduled for Tomorrow. The cross-country running committee of the Y. M. C. A. will hold the first run of the season tomorrow under the title of a "hare and hound" contest. Un der the chairmanship of Victor Wetter borg. this committee shows signs of revolutionizing running conditions at the association and is meeting with support in Its endeavor to keep the men in training. Wetterborg and Cartozian will be the hares and. starting from the association building at 6:15 A. M.. they will lay a heavy paper "scent' 'or trail for some five or six miles, hitting the brush in the shortest possible time after leaving the building. The hounds will allow tho hares five minutes' law and they must follow the vagaries of the trail. Con trary to the practice usually adopted in contests of . this nature, on seeing the hares, the hounds may disregard the trail, but without a "view-halloa" the trail must be adhered to. On finishing up their supply of "scent" or on reaching siimo mutually agreed upon point, the hares will drop their satchels and then come by the shortest possible route back to Fourth and Yam hill. It will be the duty of the hounds to pick up the bags, and. having done so, they may return to the starting point. Himes will have charge of the hounds.

One hit, a line drive by Cahlll in the eighth Inning, was all that was gathered off the visit ing twirler's delivery. One man was on base when he made it and the chances looked good for Seattle for a minute. A lightning double play, however, killed off all hope. The one run made by Spo kane in the first inning was enough to win, but the visitors added another in the eighth. The first one came on two singles and an out and the second on Galaski's plow hit, a sacrifice and a sin gle by Clynes. The score: - R.H.E.

Thomas and Young Carson figured in a pitchers' battle here today, and the Butte man won out. Carson had excellent con trol while Thomas got himself into several bad holes by his wildness. Butte's lone run came in the sixth when the Bandits found ttarson for three dinky hits in a row. Franklin fielded the last hit poorly and the run was chased over the plate. Umpire Black cameiearer being mobbed than any official who has been in Tacoma for several years. With the bases filed in the seventh inning, Carson dumped a little one In the tntield and seemed safe at first. Black called him out and cushions and lemons were thrown at the umpire. In the ninth Adams of Butte was clearly out at first base and Black called him safe. This evoked another outburst of feeling. Black had a bad day and was oft on balls and strikes to the great disadvantage of the pitchers. The score: R.H.E. Tacoma 0 0000000 i-0 4 2 Butte 0 0000100 01 7 1 Batteries Carson and Kellackey; J.

OPEN FIGHT FOR LIBERTY Constitutional Question Is -Taken Under Advisement and Examina tion of Medical Witnesses Is Begun at Poughkeepsie. POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. May 14. The opening of the Thaw habeas corpus hear ing today, after many delays, found Thaw and his representatives and District Attorney Jerome's forces equally ready to hasten the issue to a conclusion. Thaw's stay in the quarters of the Sheriff in the county jail has been much of a relief from the hardships of life in the Matte awan Insane Asylum and the Tombs, and his appearance today showed marked im provement. Admission to the court was restricted to persons holding passes issued by the Sheriff. As'- outlined in the Associated Press dispatches last week, Thaw's counsel con tended that Justice Dowling did not con form to the legal requirements when he committed Thaw to Matteawan. They claim, therefore, that he Is being de prived of his liberty without due process of law. They asked Justice Morschauer to first pass upon this question before examining witnesses to determine Thaw's present mental condition. Justice Morschauer said that he was unwilling to decide the constitutional question apart from the sanity question unless the relator would agree to waive the question of sanity. Reserves His Decision. After some discussion by the oppos ing attorneys it was arranged to pro ceed with the trial of both the consti tutional and Insanity questions, the Judge reserving his decision on the former. The court ruled that the burden of the proof was an the relator. Thaw, as he was not under a criminal charge. This ruling took Thaw's attorneys by surprise and Mr. Graham said that he had not anticipated such, an opinion from the court. There was a report that If Thaw is released he will be arrested on ac count of making threats against a New York woman. District Attorney Jerome declined to discuss the report. Dr. Charles E. Lane, of Poughkeep sie, and Dr. Frank: E.' McGuire, physi cian of the Tombs prison, were called as witnesses for Thaw. Both thought him entirely sane. Cross-Examined at Length. Mr. Jerome brought out that Thaw told Dr. Lane that Stanford White had threatened to shoot him and had de tectives follow him. Mr. Jerome then asked the doctor if he did not know that delusions were a feature of paranoia and that paranoiacs were usually very cunning. Dr. Lane an swered in the affirmative. Pressed by Jerome, Dr. Lane said that Thaw told him that he skilled White through an irrational impulse at the time. He had said nothing about "divine suggestion." Mr. Jerome, on cross-examination, asked Dr. McGuire if Thaw did not say there was a plot to have him catch pneumonia and that he was afraid of being shut in his cell. The doctor said he did not hear Thaw say that, but heard Thaw quoted as having said it. Henry A. Orr. who attended Thaw in the Tombs and at Matteawan. testi fied that Thaw appeared rational and calm. He spoke of no suspicious or improper treatment. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Philadelphia 1, Chicago 0. PHILADELPHIA, May 14.
