Tig Crowd Sees Good Card of Boxing at Bijou
Theater—Young and Budd Fight Rattling
Draw—Underwood \\ ins From Kid Diamond.
By Left Hook.
EO HOUCK, middleweight, of Philadelphia, on his first ap-
i ^ pearance before fistic fans of Atlanta demonstrated to the
queen’s taste, that he is one of the niftiest 158-pounders in
4 ho squared circle last night when he shaded George (Knockout)
J>rown f the Chicago Greek, in a ten-round set-to at the Bijou Thea
ter. Houck by his own clean fighting and extremely clever de-
~ ise had the crowd with him from the tap of the gong, and the
cecision, given by representatives of the local press, was received
Tvi’.h cheers when the argument was
ovor.
( ' RANTING that the flght was a
regular old slambang, semi-soi-
f-rifle performance, it must be In
tel ted right here that the biggest fea-
t ne of the night’s entertainment was
the crowd that turned out to see the
battle, with secondary notice given the
enthusiasm and general interest that
v ere shown from the time these Dim-
can and Connolly youngsters started
th« hostilities until Referee Mike Saul
\ o sted Houck’s hand In the air to
signify the Quaker’s victory.
* * *
A T 8:30, when the bouts were sched-
uled to start, the street in front
of the Bijou looked like the “streets
of Cairo,” and police were needed to
£‘cp crowding at the box office and
the entrances. Every seat in ihe
house was filled and many were
forced to stand during the entire
show. All of which goes to substan-
t a e the oft-repeated argument that
J t antans w-ill give the proper support
t • the fight game if everything is on
the square and the proper kind of
cards are arranged.
• * •
/JETTING down to the flght proper,
' 1 this K. O. party, who was
latched under the wings of Nate
I ewis, lived up to his reputation of
L*:ng a glutton for punishment. Time
after time Houck would take that pe
culiar little hop-sklp-and-jump of his
p id poke that stinging left straight
1 .to the Greek’s face, and time after
time the Greek, after being jarred
fill/ by the pokes, would wade right
into his opponent, get him in close to
1 m and exchange some of the most
vicious kinds of wallops—just as
t if ugh the jabs to his physog were
i aught but gentle love taps.
• * •
THE Philadelphian, on account of
his desire to stand off and min-
■ le, gained favor early with the r p HE card all the way through was
(■ -owd, who overlooked the fact that I a hummer Referee vul-p Saul
Frown was getting in some extreme-
! ‘ffective work when it came to in-
ft [ting. Houck took four of the ton
r u nds. five were even and the eighth
v e it to Brown, who In that frame
# *c red the onlv knockdown of the
bout. K. O. in the stanza that Is
(’•edited to him caught the Quaker
i ush on the tip of the jaw as Leo was
rushing him. slightly off his balance,
and the latter hit the canvas, only
to regain his feet the instant he land
ed. All in all, the middleweights put
up a corking good fight and deserved
the continual applause that was
meted out to them.
* * *
J EAVING the stars of huge magni-
tude in the gloaming, let us turn
to the semi-windup, in which Kid
Young and Battling Budd furnished
eight rounds of the fastest, fiercest
kind of fighting that could be asked
by the most fastidious. Yes, it was
a draw: but at times it looked as
though either boy had the other at a
point where a knekout would not have
been a surprise. Probably more en
thusiasm was shown in this battle
than in the windup, because both are
local favorites ’'and had a bevy of
friends plugging and cheering for
them all the way through. Budd was
the best at toe-to-toe slugging, nut
Young had the margin when It came
to cutting them loose in the
clinches.
* * *
fZlD UNDERWOOD and Kid Dia-
1 mond traveled a fast pace during
the time they exchanged wallops, and,
although the boy with the sparkling
handle led at the jumpoff, Underwood
came back strong and won his way
to a decision. This pair meant busi
ness from the tap of the gong, Dia
mond lurching at Underwood’s ston-
ach every time they pulled out of a
clinch, but never quite landing the
blow that he showed clearly was his
pet.
Two ambitious youths named Dun
can and Connolly started the show
and showed that they either had
something against each other person
ally or were fighting fur another
chance later on higher up on the
card when they went to a four-round
draw.
a hummer. Referee Mike Saul
kept all the fighters stepping at their
liveliest paces and broke the fighters
loose at the least indication of a
clinch for a stall or rest. Houck and
Brown both had many admirers In
the audience, and both would un
doubtedly be welcomed back here
against any other middleweight fight
er at a future date.

Tullos and Potts Sure of Jobs
By Tom Martin.
T AKE heed, gentle fan, this p. m. to the line-up that Billium
Smith sends against our visitors, the mercury-heeled
Havana Reds. Gaze upon it with a certain amount of de
liberation and form few opinions, for that is the line-up that not
only has won five games in a row from exhibitioners, hut also, ac
cording to definite announcement from Manager Smith, will start
the season Tuesday against Mobile at that place.
To make a long story short, the Cracker pilot has just about
decided on who will be sent out
against the enemy at the gong to
bring a pennant home, if such a thing
is probable as well as possible.
Arrival in New York
NEW YORK. April 9.—Jess Williard
will be given a reception fit for royalty
when he arrive* here to-morrow. Wil
lard makes hia first appearance on the
stage since he won the heavyweight
crown, at Baltimore to-night, and will
arrive here Saturday evening
Many prominent New Yorkers will be
on the reception committee that will
greet the new champion. A parade will
form at the Terminal and proceed ”p
Seventh avenue to Broadway and thence
to the St. Nicholas Club, where the
champion will box six rounds with Jim
Savage. The parade will be headed by
the Catholic Protectory band and a de
tachment of boy scouts will escort the
new champion. The Kansas Society and
other organizations will follow in auto
mobiles.
T HE two places in the infield that
have caused fans to speculate day
after - day—third and second—are go
ing to be filled by "Tully” Tullos and
Jimmy Potts, respectively, unless an
earthquake or some similar incident
occurs before the starting gun. Tul
los has played what might well be
called spectacular ball since Smith
started using him as a regular at
third, and if he can keep it when
spectacular work adds a stitch to the
old bunting no one will be better
pleased than the Cracker chief.

Clemson vs. Erskine. at Due West,

X HERE is no particular reason whv
■ Tullos can’t fill the third-base
gap. so far as the stuff on oaper is
concerrfed. He led the third basemen
of the Texas League last Near by a
16 point margin and hit .281. This is
just about the pace he has been fol
lowing in the exhibition games so far,
and he seems to be able to sting the
old ball when the stings mean runs.
His fielding antics at the distant cor
ner have been Al, and it look* as
though Waldron, who played third
near the close of last year, will have a
hard time edging his way In at the
berth unless the Texas Leaguer
proves a “flower that blooms in the
spring.”
• * *
A T second Jimmy Potts Is gn’ng to
™ start. Jimmy Is not a spectacu
lar player and detracts a whole lot
from his work by his nervousness in
the field. He sort of gives fan® the
Impression that he will blow at any
moment, but a cold glance at his ner-
formances so far show that he fields
about :is wall ai Southern League
infielder is supposed to, and has
ripped off a few timely bingles that
counted Potts, If he hews off a few
edges and takes on the air of a real
ball player, will stick, in the writer’s
opinion. He’s a good player all right,
but needs a little more confidence in
himself.

T HAT game with the Cubans yes
terday was a humdinger from a
pitching standpoint, but not quite so
good when it came to fielding. Lefty
Allen, who won a niche In the Ponce
DeLeon hall of fame (if there Is such
an animal » by paVtiltf a. homer to
the fence in deep left center, worked
like a charm and allowed the dark-
skinned pastlmers the measly total of
four hits, whiffing a quintet during
the ceremonies. Perez also had a
whole lot of stuff and allowed only
one earned run, that by Allen, errors
contributing to his defeat.
• * •
A FTER a second glance at the Cu
bans. It Is more apparent than
ever that the team Is a erackerjack,
but is lacking in that one element
that goes to make up a ball club, or
that is the primary requisite in any
kind of sport, said requisite being
nerve. Give the Cubans a run lead and
they act like world’s champions. Score
a run on them and they go up in the
air like so many toy balloons after
the string is cut.
There is not much to say about yes
terday’s game. The teams each
scored early in the fracas and the
winning run for the Crackers was put
across in the seventh, when Potts
singled, stole, and scored when Gui-
terrez made a wild peg to catch him
off second. In the next inning Allen
caught a roundhouse full on the nose
and completed the circuit before the
fleet-footed Mendietta could recover
