New Tork, Tec. 11. Jini Coffey and
his peculiar Jaw constitute one of tho
greatest mysteries of the prize ring.
No man other than Frank Moran
ever scored a knockdown or a techni
cal knockout over Coffey, yet Coffey
ha rarely gone through a battle vvlth
' ut being In a seemingly pitiful con
dition at one time or another; without
fcremlng to be on the point of defeat
via the knockout route.
Those who have follows! Coffey
throughout his career have discover-;-!

jaw in the early- roun''. of the fight
invariably maks him groggv ; nearly

port: makes him an object of pity.
(2 1 A dozen punches of die. same
kind and to the same place later on in
the fight never even disturb his bal
ance. What do you make of it?
In the majority of Coffey's recent
battles he has taken wallops on his
so-called "glass Jaw" in the early
rounds ami In practically every in
stance th03 blows have dazed him to
h point where he seemed to t-e a mire

Coffey seems to have every re
iutslte that a champion needs except
the power to stand up under that first
swing to the jaw. If he could over

be a world beater with six tsontti.s
more of training.

actually knocked ojt by Moran. In the
third round, as in the second, he ran i

PUGILISTIC
Those spectators of that fight who of.r.ar crntPSt from tne 0.w R & N

declare Coffey was in siren a pittful
condition that It would have been a
crime to permit the fight to go on.
And there you are a JuTy divided
against itself.

specimens of physical manhood In the

Pirst Bnib Disastrous.
Coffey's early fault jand one which
asserts Itself occasionally now is his
extreme eagerness to mix things at the j

Coffey places himself at a big disad

But Coffey's trainers are curing htm

and h is succeeding so well that he

New York. Dec. 11. This is a story
of how an unfamiliar "touch" in the
sending of a horse race result aroused
the suspicions of an alert telegraph
operator, which suspicions prevented a
gang of crooks from making a $200,000
cleanup.
For the benefit of the unitiated It
may be explained that there is as
much difference in the sending "touch"
of telegraph operators as there is in
handwriting. Each operator has an in
dividual peculiarity in his sending just
as each person has an individual pa
cuiiarity in his handwriting.
So Bet Too Xarge.
The incident in question happened
some years ago in a big poolroom in
Evanston, Ills.; but the story is new
because it never before has been told
In detail. '
No bet was too large to be covered
in that poolroom; the sky was the
limit. And so, on this particular day
no surprise was occasioned when some
thing like $25,000 was bet by a small
group of persons in that room on a
horse named Watercure, which w-as
running in a race on one of the Call-,
fornia tracks. The opening odds
against Watercure were 10 to 1. but
the rather heavy plunging lowered
them gradually until, at race time,
they had been shoved down to 6 to 1.
However, the $25,000 was placed at an
average of 8 to 1, which meant that
if Watercure won. the poolroom would
be "hit" for $200,000.
Operator Sensed Crookedaeas.
In this poolroom was a special tele
graph wire over which came the race
results. The custom in the poolroom
was to pay off bets Immediately after
the result was received over the pool
room wire, which gave the band of
crooks their great inspiration.
The system of "covering" the race
result was to flash it frbm the Cali
fornia track direct to New York, and
then for New York to shoot it at once
to the main office in Chicago. The
Chicago office then relayed it to the
Evanston poolroom.
Dots and aahaa Strang.
The operator in the poolroom got the
flash on the start of the race, and a
few minutes later the description of
the race, as it was being run, came
trickling in. As the operator trans
lated the dots and dashes as they
came over the wire, he sensed an un
famlliarlty in the touch. He knew
nothing about the heavy plunging on
Watercure and he had no reason to be
lieve that the wires had been tam
pered with. Yet. the "touch" was un
familiar to him: it hadn't the same
peculiarity as that of the operator
who usually did the sending from
Chicago. Of course, a substitute might
be at work and he might not.
Finally came the flash:
"Watercure wins!"
jumps for th Proprietor.
The operator yelled It out. Jumped
from his little desk; grabbed the pro
prietor and dragged him Into a cor
ner. "Was" there any heavy plunging on
Watercure?" he asked.
"Was there? Was there?" gasped
the proprietor. "There was and there
was enough of it to nick my bankroll
for $200,000."
"Announce to the crowd that you
won't pay off bets on that race until
tomorrow." said the operator. "I
have a bunch that aomebody monkeyed
with the wires and that Watercure
didn't win It."

mounted a platform and announced to
the crowd:
"Bets on the first race today will
not be paid off until tomorrow."
Immediaately there was a roar of
protest from the five or six men who
had plunged so heavily on Watercure
They demanded that their tickets be
cashed at once. The proprietor, how
ever, was adamant. Then the gang
circulated through the crowd, explained
that they were going to leave town
that night and offered to sell their
"winning'' tickets at one half, one
third and finally, one tenth of their
I "cash-In" value. But no one would
ouy.
Epicure Was Seal Winner.
It was learned that night that a
horse named Epicure and not Water
cure, had won the race. And it was
learned, too. that the wire had been
cut between Chicago and Evanston,
and that a false result had been sent
by the operator in the employ of the
crooks.
The process was simple. The crooks
cut the wire as it ran through an
isolated section between Chicago and
Evanston, thereby cutting off Chicago
from sending direct to Kvanston. Then
the operator working for the crooks
rigged up a sending Instrument. Ho
copied what the Chicago man sent and
then relayed it on to the poolroom, but
he carefully changed the positions of
the horses so as to bring Watercure
up In front and, when Chicago sent
the final flash "Epicure wins" the
crooked operator relayed "Watercure
wins" on to the poolroom.
It was a clever trick and it would
have won $200,000 for that band of
crooks had It nt been for the unfa
miliar "touch" that aroused the sus
picions of the Evanston operator.
