Walcott-Lavigne Fight
Several Years Ago
Sporting: Men Claim That It Was
Bloodiest Contest Ever
' Seen In the Ring. .
" At a Broadway, New York. port!nf
Hndasvoua where follow ra of pug-lliam
ar wont to congregate a dlacuaalon
arose tbe other night aa to what wai the
beat glove oonteat ever Been In the East.
y Various oplnlona were aet forth until
Ji one man apoke up to the effect that by
far the moat Interesting and at the sane
time the bloodleat fight he ever had aaen
waa the 16-round battle at Maspeth,L. I.,
December 2, 18H5. Immediately there waa
an approving choma from the crowd, for
the fight and lta exciting lncldenta were
readily recalled.
Lavigne waa then the undisputed light
Weight champion and a wonderful two
handed fighter. He had beaten hla way
to the front, meeting victim after vic
tim, until he waa ready to go out of hla
claaa to get on a mill. Walcott. who
waa under Tom O'Rourke'a management,
waa about the beat welterweight In the
country, but because of hla height and
general build the matchmaker were aoon
endeavoring to bring about a go with
Lavigne.
After much dinkerlng the- men agreed
to fight under extraordinary condition.
They were to weigh 133 pounds at
O'clock In the evening, three nours before
getting into the ring, and the fight waa
to be limited to 16 rounda with the un-
deratasdlng that "Walcott had to Knock
Lavigne out inside of that limit In order
to win. Walcott had to do a lot of hard
road work to get down to hla weight, and
when the men jumped on the scales at
the appointed time they both tipped the
beam at 1314.
Weighed zn at 131H
They weighed in at the Turkish bath
rooms, corner Broome and Bowery, and
according to Nick Long, Walcott, when
he jumped off the scales, made a riafih
for a large basketful of provender which
was in the keeping of his brother. Blu
fleld Walcott, and devoured sandwich
after sandwich until the onlookers fairly
thought the "Black Demon" would never
atop. Such a wholesale destruction of
food in such a brief space of time had
been rarely ever chronicled in Gotham
flstio circles, Walcott having literally
eaten the entire collation.
Three hours later they got into the
Cring of the Empire Athletic Club, which
iaa packed to the doora. The betting
Tavored Walcott, who aa soon as the
first gong rang forced the fight He be
gan with fierce rushes and heavy slugging.-
which the BDorts believed would
boii put an end to the Saginaw lad. But
in the first seven rounds Lavigne, though
he waa on the defensive, held his own
ao well that the big crowd cheered him
again and again. Walcott never allowed
The white man to rest a minute, however.
and in the eighth round be landed a ter
rltic smash on Lavlgne's left eye, which
quickly cloaed, while another hot punch
drew the blood from the Kid a mouth.
Surely, the sports said, the fight waa
Hearing an end, for aa Lavigne came up
for the ninth round and rallied he did
not show his usual speed and strength.
Walcott, who Had been grinning all
along aa if he had a cinch, rushed again
with merciless punishment, and swinging
bis right he landed such a terrific blow
on the Kid's left ear that it swelled to
the size of a baseball before the round
ended.
Aa he went to hla corner, Lavigne
begged hla aeconds to lance his ear, as
the pain was awful, but they did not
have time. Before the 10th round was
on Lavlgne'a ear waa swollen so much
that it waa larger than both his fists put
together. Walcott made a mark of It at
once, and proceeded to rain a shower
of cruel biows upon it
laTigne'a Bar Broke.
All of a sudden a tremendous smash
broke, the ear open and a torrent of gore
waa spattered over both fighters and
those of the spectators around the ring.
Another smash seemed to cut the whole
ear off, so that it dangled on Lavlgne's
neck, held by a few bloody tendons.
It was such a gruesome sight that
even old-timers such as Jere Dunn, Al
Smith and Jimmy Kakley turned their
heads away. But Lavigne, going to his
chair, was relieved of the pain and turn
ing to his manager, Sam Fitzpatrlck, he
aid:
"Patch that ear up any old way, Sam,
so that I can keep the blood out of my
eyes, lor I'm going to beat that coon be
fore the go ends!
Bo Fitapatrick put some healing prepa
ration on the ear, which turned it Jet
black and stopped the flow of blood for
the time being. But as soon as the light
weight champion got, to the center of
the ring for the 11th round Walcott was
after him hammer and tongs. With
storm of fight-hand swings he cut the
ear open again and closed up the other
eye. still Lavigne, with his bulldog
pluck, never faltered, even though the
punishmant grew mora frightful every
moment.
When the 12th round ended it did not
seem possible for Lavigne to stay the
limit.
"Throw up the sponge, Sam!" cried
inrny of Lavlgne's au-iirers to Fitx-
patrlck, but the latter only smiled and
shook bis head. It was In the 13th round
wxien Walcott was trying to trot on the
nnismng touches that the lightweight,
crimson from head to foot in his own
blood, showed what a wonderfully game
man he was.
Standing resolutely up to the shower
or diows which Walcott rained on hla
bead and neck, Lavigne finally saw what
he had been looking 'for ever since the
mill began. It was an opening for the
point of the Jaw and the Saginaw pugi
list let go his right with the force of a
pile driver. His aim was not so. accurate
as it might have been, for he only, got
the blow to the upper part of the Jaw.
but there was force enough in the punch
to send Walcott to his knees.
Walcott Went Sown.
The colored fighter was only down for a
moment or two, but he looked so sheep
ish that the crowd broke Into deafening
cheers. As he got up, Walcott wore a
sickly grin on his ebony features,, but
this soon changed to a look of ferocity
as he rushed again with all his might
Lavigne met him with powerful - body
blows and smashes, - so that- when the j

round ended the crowd was well nigh in
sane. Walcott went to his corner crestfallen.
O'Rourka gave him encouragement and
told him that he would surely win In the
14th. but aa soba as Joe came to the
scratch Lavigne waif like a firebrand. He
rushed headlohg into a clinch and, break
ing out of IV he landed a half hook on
Walcott' law.1 This negro reeled and
elutched convulsively at the ropes. La
vlgne waa after, him red hot then and
Walcott began to hug the lightweight
champion to save himself. The referee
broke numerous clinches by main force,
and Lavigne tried for a knockout with a
fearful right for the Jaw. The blow was
high, but it Jarred Walcott from head to
heel. Wobbling across the ring to a cor
ner, walcott was on tne verge or receiv
ing his quietus when tbe gong came to
his assistance.
No 800 ner had he taken his corner than
Walcott wanted to climb out of the rlne,

with apparent reluctance. Laylgne, bat

and waa again slugging away with both
hand.
"Kid" on Offensive.
Lavigne, however, soon forced Walcott
to take tha defensive, so that when the
fight ended Joe was wandering aimlessly
up and down Queer street. Before the
decision could be announced the crowd.
leaping- to ' its feet, cheered Lavigne to
the echo, and when it waa officially made
known that the lightweight champion
had really, won there- was a scene that
never has, been repeated "at a ringside.
Lavigne, had both eyes closed, his left
ear was hanging by a thread and his
mouth was so badly swollen that he
could, not eat for a week; yet he was
the happiest pugilist in the world that
night, for his praises were sung from
the Atlantic to the raoinc.
Such a terrific strain did these men
undergo, however, that it was a year or
more before elthor got back to his old
form. If the fight had gone to a finish,
Lavigne would have won to a certainty.
The excuse made for Walcott was that
he tbad been weakened In getting to
weight and for that reason was not equal
to the test.
HE SELECTS BRITT.
Jack Herman of the Fort Erie
Club today wired Slg Hart
(O'Keefe's manager) that the
April date at his club ia at
O'Keefe's disposal. Hart wired
back as follows: "All right,
any one you select, but would
prefer Britt."
HUNT CLUB TO
RUN SATURDAY
"Three Post Race" Planned for
That Date.
The Portland Hunt Club has planned
"Three Post Race" for next Saturday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, the start to be
made from a point already selected on
West avenue and the Bar Road. As
many members of the club aa choose
may take part and there Is every lndlca
tlon that tbe turn-out will be large.
The plan of this race is simple, and
yet complicated. There is no specified
course. Each racer takes whatever
route he may desire, but before return
ing to the starting point he must register
at two other points which have been
picked out by a committee in charge,
but which will not be announced until
the contestants assemble for the run,
This makes the general course triangu
lar, but no one is compelled to follow
its lines closely. Splendid sport is an
