' Many pugilist have had humble be ginnings, but- the career of Joe Gans, Is unique, Gans began life as a cleaner of fish, in - a market in Baltimore 'and but for an i accident would: never have been "in the' fighting business 1 today. Several years ago a well-know sporting mart wont td Baltmore and Induced Ma nnger ' Kernan ; of U Kertia n's Menu -mental theatre to run boxing shows in the Monumental amphitheatre "after the regular performance. , ln order to whet i the appetite of the, crowd for aome of the preliminary bouts a battle royal be tween negroes t was put' on.' Although' the sum offered was' small, i almost ', every negro with ; fistic . ambi tions In Baltimore entered, and at every ulinw thesa battles rrival martn a. Mar htK One . night Gans, who had' just returned . from work, made an application to enter one of the contests. . He was' asked whether he had any experience and he frankly admitted that he had not, but was willing, to try.,;- -V f-- "But ' you ' know what these battle royals are don't yout" he .was told. -"You've got to flghfand mix it up atl the time, and if you quit you don't get anything, ..' see?" ' Gans' saw and 'went on. He was very successful and made an impression. After that Gans entered in the preliminary bouts, for which he received' the munificent amount of H whether he won or lost Gans had a peculiar style. : While not clever then he had a hard blow and delivered it at random His best blow jit the time was a wicked drive for the stomach, and . when it landed his opponent usually took to the boards for the full count ' Al Herford at the time was Interested in a restaurant on Canton avenue, near Broad way,, and a boxing enthusiast He took a great fancy to Gans and offered to bark him whenever he fought "But 1. don't know enough as yet" said Guns, " and you might lose your money." . . - v "But I'm satisfied to take a chance," was Herford's reply, "and from that time on Herford became Gans' backer . and manager. ,N ..'-.. ;;;:.. , Many ; Sard' Battle. ' No other pugilist has fought so many really hard battles as Gans. . When box I nil flourished In the . east Gans fought frequently. Even fo this day Gans indulges on the average in about one fight a week. He Is probably the craftlestboxer ln therlngtodayout side of Kid McCoy. He has the pe culiar faculty of being able to pick out . the vulnerable point and goes about it as unhesitatingly as a surgeon with a knife. Withal he' is the most merciful and will not injure or torture an oppo- nent If he can help it An alluetratlon of this quality occurred In his first mill with Willie Tltsgcrald at ' Ban Fran .Cisco;',--';,'.; ''. :.,'.-.. ' After the fifth round Gana had all the better of his rival and could have easily jabbed Fltsgerald, and hurt him by land ing frequent blows. Fitzgerald's guard was not good, but somehow he kept nls jaw well , protected. Gans. however, was laying- for a knockout and when the opportunity came he applied It in fine hape. After the combat the pair met , Fltsgerald, but for a few bruises, was otherwise' unscathed.- Gans. after In tently looking at , Fltsgerald'a counte nance, saldr "I'm glad. Willie, that I did not cut you up. Tou know I .had plenty of chances to do so tonight had I wished to. But that la not my game. 1 want to win as quickly as I can with out hurting anybody. That's the only way to get along and make friends In this business." , , Fltsgerald was much struck by the manly assertion, and the Brooklyn boy has an exalted opinion of the negro both as a man and a pugilist Gans is one' of the many priaeflghtera who does not. save' his .money. He is very liberal and an inveterate gambler. He backs himself In every fight and dallies with almost every known game of chance. Gans Is what many persons term a born pugilist and many be lieve that In his ' class afc present he has ' no peer. Gans' best blow Is, for the Jaw. It seems to start from nowhere, but gets there with dlrectnesm He has little awing to' the blow, but It is landed 'with such precision and ter rific force that the recipient of such a punch is usually' put out, for several minutes. Gans does not believe In fancy boxing, but short and effective smashes. 'VARSITY MEN TO PLAY WILLAMETTE , v . (Journal Special Service.) i , Eugene, Or.,' Feb. 17. Manager C. A.

C) correspondent, has the following to say about Fred Ely on the ball field: "And speaking of humorists, do you know who was about the most naturally funny man to . play the game?. Arlje Latham? Not on your life! Fred Ely who was shortstop on the Pittsburg team nearly a dosen years, waa the lad. Fred was a humorist, though on the panto mimic order. .Ills mlrth-provoklng pro clivities lay aolely In hla grotesque ac tions. I have seen Ely at the bat during morning practice convulse .his' team mates and every one else simply by his ridiculous movements. He appeared to possess, the-most pliable body of any man I 'ever saw or heard tell of. Iln could twist himself. Into sit manner of ludicrous postures, while his eccentrici ties of action were so wide and vsrled that I ' am confident had tie so chosen lie could have made a fortune on the stage in tha role of a professional pan tomlmist . I 'have seen Dan Leno, the English pantomlmlst.' but I question whether he has any greater natural abil ity than- was Fred Ely, Certainly the latter has amused me far more than the former has ever done," ' ".

Under the circum stances only referees who have demon strated that they understand the. boxing rules thoroughly and have the ' ability to think and-act quickly should be al lowed to officiate at bouts of importance. Much adverse comment has been caused by the lack of precision on the part of those who acted aa referees In bouts within .the past, ten days, and In 'one case a deliberate wrong was inflicted upon one principal through the lack of Judgment displayed by the referee. - In the battle between Harry Forbes and Abe At tell the former easily had the better of it until the fifth round, when he rushed the latter to the ropes. Attell sidestepped ana Forbes plunged part way through the : ropes, one of which passed under his chin and held him practically helpless. - While in this position and endeavoring to get a foot hold, Attell deliberately swung a blow to Forbes' Jaw from : behind, which knocked him out The referee allowed the same, and Forbes lost the. battle, which should have gone to him on a foul, for the Marquis of Queensberry rules distinctly, provide that a fighter hanging helpless on-the ropes shall.be considered down, and to hit an oppo nent while down ,1s the meanest kind of a fouL ' ''-.,:'".-. vvt ' ' A Case In Polat . , ',' Another case' ill point wss the action of the referee when. Jack. O'Brien.' s sec onds threw a sponge Into the ring while the latter, was down as the . result of the ,blow delivered .by Tommy, Ryan. This move has from time Immemorial been considered the alga of defeat yet the referee deliberately .Ignored It and continued to give O'Brien the benefit ot the count instead of calling for his sec onds to carry him to his cornec. Sev eral attempts . to explain the sponge throwing episode tby , O'Brien's seconds have failed to exonerate thereferee, for If it was an accident as claimed, the referee could not have been cognisant ot it at the time. Manager Perrettl, who looks after Ryan's interests, Is quoted as claiming that O'Brien was out for more than 10 seconds allowed y ; the rules. He eays: . . ' ; "Regarding the sponge-throwing af fair, McCoy first tried to throw water on O'Brien, but he couldn't do It very well, so threw the sponge In his face.-,. Even that didn't revive him. u,There were two distinct fouls, but the referee refused to allow' either of them. At the time, the sponge was thrown-Into the ring' the referee was counting over O'Brien. When the sponge came In he stopped counting, walked over and kicked It out then returned and . resumed counting. O'Brien had been out more than 10 sec onds then. - ' . . Xaelas Waa Timekeeper.' . .."Joe Machlas, Kid Carter's manager, was Ryan's timekeeper, and when the b11 sounded the end of the round,' Ma cias protested, saylnar there was. still over 10 seconds. ' Besides. McCoy had already thrown the sponge Into the ring, but the referee refused to recognise us. Macias wanted me to protest, but to do it I would have had to climb into the ring, and as soon as v I did. that we would have been disqualified on a foul and O'Brien would have got J.he fight": . The action of the referee made little difference, as It turned out,, for even O'Brien's townsmen admitted that Ryan was his master, but If the conditions had been reversed and O'Brien had been robbed of a knockout over the holder of the middleweight champion the atory would have, been a 'different one.

Sporting Editor of The Journal Dear Sir Being somewhat of a sport myself. and not given to boasting, I feel that I should tell the entire truth- regarding Ed Schiller's recent trip to Chicago. As I ' understand It Schiller i told hts "Windy" friends that he was a very ... good bowler, but that all hia big scores were made in his own alley. Now, my knowledge of Chicago sports Is such that I can tell In a moment whether or not they have designs upon a fellow. Ed Schiller Is sn Innocent man.. Were he not he would never associate with, that gang that hangs about his place of business, expressing his opinions on baseball, prizefighting, football, bowling and society. It is also my opinion that Schiller's Chicago friends are Just, as tricky as the "dudes", at Fourth and Washington. ' I heard It on 4he quiet that every time Ed rolled a ball In a Chicago alley, the "pin" boy would pull a string and down would go all tha pins. The best proof that this Is true was proven once, when Ed rolled a ball and It went off the alley, but down went the pins anyway. I know he trie to explain this by saying that the pirui fell from the draught occasioned by . the great speed of the-ballr-Thls-lathe -limit To end the discussion, I will bowl Schiller any time in any alley, with any kind of balls, high, or low, tin pins, hat pins or scarf pins, for a bet of HO shillings. If he can bowl on a local alley one-half as well as tha reports say he did In Chicago,, he ought to win by a big score.' Yours tor short. JOSEPH CHESTERFIELD. ' . week.
