Left Hook to Jaw Turns Trick.
Budd Gets Shade Over Feld

By Harry Lewis. ‘
ANK O'BRIEN, the Jacksoaville
knocker-out, entered the ring
at the Casino Skating Rink last |
night against Eddie Hanlon with hui
right hand bandaged from a bad in
fection of the skin. But Yank didn't|
need his favorite weapon, as In the
second round he whipped over his left |
hook to the body, followed by the
same blow to Eddie's Jaw, and it was
all over. \
The knock-out blow was as clean &
k. 0. punch as was ever put over in a
local ring. The boys had been Ad
dling around in the second session, |
when Eddie tried to rough the \-9--.1
tor, who suddenly let go the fatal
wallop. Eddie's head hit the canvas
and he rolled over on his back, while

count of ten

jon's attempts to land; so that when
the men took thelr seats at the end
of the opening three-minute session
not a hard blow was landed by either
party.
- . .
ONP: night about two Years ago
O'Brien put Eddle to sleep n
one round. The result of that occa
slon was a big surprise to local fans;
but last night Yank repeated the job
before a large gathering of Atlanta
fistic fans, who witnessed a boxing
show that was one of the very best
ever staged locally.
- - -
YESTFZRI'!.\Y afternoon the writer
encountered O'Brien at a local
Ehy!lr!un'x office. Yank was having
is hand bandaged. and we advised
him to have the bout postponed, “Not
on your life” said the sallor battler,
“l can whip this fellow with one
hand,” and, kind readers, he did. Now,
O'Brien is after Jake Abel, Jimmy
Perry and Frank Whitney, and there
is no telling what the “k. o. king"
would do against any of this trio,
. - -
A[.TH-'!!‘A:H the main bout hes
come in for quite a bit of dis
cussion, the semiwind-up was the real
treat of the evening. It brought to
gether that husky little Macon slash
er, Young Feldman, and Atlanta's
crack featherweight, Battling Budd.
These boys went eight slashing
rounds, with Budd carrying off the
verdict at the finish, which he earned
because of the fact that he landed the
most clean wallope,
. . .
B UDD'S victory was by no means
decisive. According to the writer’'s
way of figuring, the Macon boy had
the honors in the first round, and
Budd carried off the fourth and fifth.
The rest were even.
Fighting much on the style of Ad
Wolgast, Feldman tore Into Budd at
the sound of the gong in the flrstl
round, and he kept up this sort of
milling in nearly every session. On
many occasions Budd would meet the
little Macon scrapper lin the center
of the ring and the pair would put up
one grand slugfest, and it seemed cer
tain that one or the other would drop.
However, when the gong rang at the
ciose of the battle the boys were
fighting furiously, head to head, and
the referee was forced to pull them
apart. i
- -
BUDD certainly put up the best bat
tle of his career. He had to in
order to win. As for Feldman, he lost
no friends by his shade dedsat. Every
fan present at last night's show would
welcome him back. He's a great little
scrapper, a slugger of the old school,
and there is no denying that he is
deserving and should get another
match with Budd.
- - -
THERE were several other bouts on
the card, but the main bout and
tHe semiwind-up were worth many
times the price of admisslon. The
main bout saw the defeat of a local
boy, but Eddie should not feel dis
couraged. We stated when this
match was first made, it was a ques
tion of which boy landed the first
good wallop that would win. It fell to
Yank to dellver, and for the present,
at least, he should reap all the glory
that goes to th: w.inn.er.
PROMOTER FRANK WHITNEY
would do wise to keep the Jack
sonville boy here, as he is sure to
he a biez card in this city. Either
Jimmy Perry or Jake Abel would
| nrove a logical opponent for him.
Frank made a big hit with the fans
at last night’s show. The “Fightinz
Carnenter” ig proving himself as good
a promoter as he is a fighter, which
{s saying a gieat deal.

DISCOVERY. :

The sclence of discovery was dlucov-1

picking lemons ever since. 1
‘ Job discovered a great many thlnqa.l
‘but we have no space to enumerats
them. Besides, Job was so buly‘
}-crnchlng that he had no time to put‘
them into pamphlet form.
Noah discovered rain. At least, he
was the first man in history who knew
enough to come In out of the wet.
Joshua discovered that it pays to ad
vertise. He sent out a lot of solicitors
to blow their horns and stralghtway a

In jall. A lot of monuments were erect.
‘ed in his honor a few hundred {oarl
\ |ater, but Chris did not appreciate them.
He would have preferred a few plates
of ham and eggs. Some men are never
satisfied.
We see from the above data that a
discoverer never gets his just deserts.
If such were the case, what would have
happened to the discoverers of wres
tling, six-day racing, motorcycling and
kindred sports? We shudder to think
of It.
Furthermore, we crave the acquaint
ance of the guy who discovered poker.
We'd like to meet him in a dark alley.
Speaking of discovery, we fail to see
wherein a_man_ who has discovered a
new wrestling phenom has anything to
boast about. |

THE ATLANTA GEOROIAN
Steve Evans Real Comedian of Diamond
“Confessions of an Umpire” i
Brennan Tells Some New Ones on Star
By BILL BRENNAN.
NO. 19.
(Former National Leaque Umpire
and Chief of Staff of the
Old Federal.)
SERIES advertised to set
A forth the lighter as well as
the more serious side of
the diamond that didn’t contain 2t
least a couple of Steve Evans'
stories would be incomplete. ¥For
this former Cardinal! and later
Federal League player is the real
wit of modern baseball, He isn’t
the Arlie Latham of the coacher’s
box by any means. Arlie's humor
was all for the benefit of the fans
and was one of his assets when it
came to fixing his salary. [t was
only occasionally that Evans per
mitted the fans to see his antics.
One of the classics of the latter
had Jack Sheridan, former Amer
ican League umpire, for its victim
and the middle of the Pacific
Ocean for its scene.
- - -
S HERIDAN, now dead, was a
member of the party that
toured the world, and Evans was
one of the players on the teams
taken around by President Co
miskey, of the White Sox, anl
John McGraw, of the Giants.
Poker was one of the best time
killers, and there was seldom 2
moment during the day when
there wasn't a game on—that is,
while the party was aboard the
steamer.
One night a bunch of stickers
grouped themselves about the
round table, the game became ex
citing and midnight was tolled
without a player rising from his
chalr,
Along in the wee small hours
Sheridan began to doze, and final
ly decided that he would take a
nap. He didn’t dare rise from his
chair for fear some onlooke~
would “sit in,” and there would
be no room when he awakened
So he laid his head upon hils arm
and prepared to drift into uncon
sclousness. But before he went
into dreamland he removed a fino
set of false teeth and placed them
by his side.
. e
“G OOD-NIGHT,” sald Evans.
“Plaasant dreams,” from
Germany Schaefer,
“Aw, shut up,” from Sheridan,
and he was lost to the world.
Fvans permitted him to sleep a
little while, then lifted the teeth
from the table and placed them
in Sheridan’s hip pocket. FEvans
was an excellent mimic in add!-
tion to doing manv other things
well, and, dropping to his knees
behind the snoring Sheridan, he
gave tha ghrill bark of a dog. The
imitation was perfect, Sheridan
was roused just as there came =
second bark, and leaned from his
chalr in his half-wakened condi
tion. He flopped down again and
then jumped up with a cry of real
pain
“I'va heen hitten.” howled Jack,
“What's that?” from the other
membhers of the partv,
“T'hat dog bit me,” yelled Sher
{das.
“Huh?”" from the others,
“I've been bitten right here”
and Jack erasped his own teeth
in his hand. He drew them forth,
looked at them in an fnhcredulons
manner and then as full wale
fulness was followed hv realiza
tion turned to the crowd.
“It {sn't often that a fellow is
bitten on the leg hy his own teeth,
s it”" he queried. But Sheridan
never again nplaced those store
teeth where Evans could get hold
of them. b
Upon another occasion this
same FEvare almost drove Hank
O'Day intn hysterics by one of his
antics, He was playing right
d for the Cardinals, and was
terrible day. If he played
2 ' R SSR AR e s £T, g 2 g
deep for & batter, the latter would
drop a Texas Leaguer just back
of the infield and take a couple
of bases. If he played close, the
batter would whang one to the
fence, and Evans would have to
take another long chase. If he
stood near the foul line for some
right-hand batter, the latter
would hit one into right center,
and away vculd.llllop Steve.
-
l'l' was exceedingly hot, and for
about seven innings all that
Steve did was to leg it. He did
s 0 much running that he didn't
even come to the bench when the
(‘ards were in save when he had
to hit-—he got all the rest he could.
Realizing that he would be in the
wrong place regardless of where
he stood, Steve went to the
shadow of the right fleld fence
and remained there. Everything
thereafter that was hit toward
right was an extra base hit, and
the newspapers the next morning
gave him a terrific panning.
After telling how he spent all
of the early lnnln? in being in
the wrong place, they wound up
by sayving that he spent the lat
ter part of the game playing right
fleld from the “shadow of the
bleachers.”
Kvans was in right fleld when
the game opened on the next day,
and just as the batter strode to

doubt In this ln.t:nc.o
.
‘l'Hl Chicago mauler long has been
h."."mfi. for twenty-round
fights with t best of them in his
class. He has been shaded right
along by the above-mentioned par
ties in short fights, but on all oc
casions, with the exception, perhaps,
of the Dillon encounters, Brown has
been going great guns at the finish,
with the other battlers tired and
sick from the grueling pace George
invariably sets He always has
claimed he would have won a bunch
of those quarrels if they had been
scheduled for we:\ty. rounds.

NA‘I‘E LEWIS, who has handled
Brown in many fights, writes of
Brown's conflict with Darcy:
“] think rather well of Brown's
chance. He has a pecullar style, one
that Darcy never before has seen,
and It is bound to bother the Austra
lan. George surely will go better
in & long fight. As far as his hoin{
nalled is concerned, I don't thin
Darcy has a chance to stop him.
Brown has a wonderful chin guard,
as Mike Gibbons will tell you. Mike
tried his durndest to stop him one
day, and could not come close. I, for
one, will not be much surprised 1f
Brown wins this lcrtp."
