MANY SAILORS DIE AS SHIP FOUNDERS IN STORM Young Grant Never Regains Con sciousness After Ten-Round Battle With Eggers. Jimmy Grant, the little boxer who fell unconscious after his ten-round battle with Johnny Eggers at the Or pheum Theater Tuesday night, died at 5 o'clock Friday morning, never having regained consciousness. Dr. Louis €. Rouglin, avho attended the fighter at the Grady Hospital, said the cause of death was pneumo nia, with complications. Dr. W. 8 Goldsmith had previously declared Grant probably had pneumonia when he entered the ring. The body was taken to Patterson’s undertaking rooms, but no further fu neral preparations were made pending the arrival of John Reiners, a broth er-in-law, from whom a telegram was received 'Thursday night saying he would reach Atlanta from Florida Friday. Johnny Eggers, the New York box er who engaged with Grant in his last battle, presented himself at police headquarters as soon as he learned that Grant was dead. Opponent Sobs Grief. He had been arrested and released under a $5OO bond. “If you want to arrest me again, go ahead,” Eggers told Chief Beavers be tween sobs. “I don't care what hap rens to me now.” But the Chief decided that the present bond was sufficient, especial ly in view of the decision of the phy sicians that it was pneumonia, and not injuries feceived in the boxing match, that caused Grant's death. Eggers remains charged under the blanket term of “disorderly conduct.” He will have a preliminary h faring at 2:30 o’clock this afternoen in the Re corder’s Court, when it will be de cided if any State charge shall be placed against him. Jimmy Grant's real name was Vic tor Barnett. He lived in Chicago un til four months ago, when he came to Atlanta. In that brief period he reached the top of the heap in the bantamweight boxing class in the South, and his battle wigh Eggers was regarded as the supreme test of whether he should keep on his way upward in the boxing game, or bide his time and take more of the “sea ‘soning” course. Jimmy—to use his ring name-—was 22 years old. He was popular with boxing fans in Atlanta, whose favor he gained immediately by defeating Spider Britt in two rounds in his first battle after coming here. Praised by Doctor. He was known to be a clean, sportsmanlike boxer, and his modesty was so marked that it was nearly three months after reaching Atlanta that he went into a newspaper office, and then only at the insistence of the sport writers themselves, curious to talk to the quiet little fellow. | “Jimmy never had a great deal to‘ say,” said one.of his friends and backers ¥Friday. “He was a qulet, m.odest little chap—clear white all through. His death is a big loss to the game, hecause his kind is needed in boxing; the ctass of boxer that rever will engage in anything but straight, level boxing, and never will step in a ring without doing his best.” Dr. Rouglin attended the fighter devotedly all through his illness, re maining at his bedside until the end. “1 felt a deep personal interest in the brave little fellow,” he said, “and it will always be a regret to me that we were unable to pull him through.” W. & A.
