IS BEATEN
ONDON, Decy 13 A big surprise
l in the international boxing tour
nament being held here occurred
vesterday when Hadrry Greb, of Pitts
burg, Pa.. one of the greatest middle
weights in the world, went down to de
feat before Wring, of the British army
Greb was considered one of the best
fighters in the tournament, and his de
feat was a distinet jolt to the American
boxersg
Mike o Dowa, muaaiewelght champion
of the world, from Bt, Paul, took the
measure of Harold Ralps, of Canada,
and Kddie MceGoorty, the Oshkosh mid
dle, trimmed Chorrocks, of South Africa.
Both of these American boxers - were
making their debut in the tournament
K. O. Brown, an American bantam
weight, defeated J. Percival, of the Brit
ish arm) Pal Moore, the clever little
bantam from Memphis, Tenn., one of
the stars of the tournament, came
through with a victory over Johnny
Hughes, of the British army
ILddie Coulon,.from New Orleans, won
the verdict over Private Peals, of Aus
tralia, in the semi-finals of the feather
weight class F. G. Laney, American
navy, whipped Quartermaster Sergeant
lovans, of the British army
Augie Ratner, a well-known American
gloveman, took ' Private Blanchard, of
Canada, to defeat Ratner halis from
New York He formerly held the title
of amateur welterweight champion.
All of the bouts were fast and inter
esting McGoonty and O'Dowd made a
great hit with those present, and looked
every inch fighters. §¥The American boys
had a decided margin over the Britisn
boxers ithough one of their brightest
stars was eliminated.

Dempsey and Gibbons
Offered $15,000 Purse
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 13.—~Mike Col
ling, the local boxing promoter, has of
fered a purse of $15,000 for a ten-rouni
bout between Jack Dempsey and Mike
Givbons. Gibbons returned to his home
in 8 Paul last week after having
served as a boxing instruetor at army
cantonn:ents,, Collins said he had re
ceived. temiative acceptances from both
fighters It is understood, however,
that Collins wants to stage the bout in
January, but that Jibbons prefers a date
in February.
WHAT IT MEANS IN AMERICA,
ENGLAND, AND FRANCE
There is a very interesting article in this week’s LITERARY DlGEST—December
14th—bearing upon the most vital topic likely to be discust at the great peace conference
—the Freedom of the Seas. .
While Lieutenant-Colonel Repington, the famous British Military Expert, remarks
that *‘l have not the slightest idea what freedom of the seas means, nor have I met
anyone who can tell me,”” London and French newspapers have quite definite
ideas as to its meaning.
Much of the comment in the l.ondon and Paris papers emphasizes the fact that
President Wilson has not vet defined what he means by freedom of the seas, but most
of the French journals agree with the Paris Matin when it says ‘' if this doctrine means
any diminution of the power of the British navy, France will reject it.”

F'hat defil was hurlied at Coburn on
Octoher 10, 1867, and during the follow
ing month the two men met in Chicago
and signed articles for a finish fight
for a side bet of $5.000
‘““As champion, ingisted Coburn, *‘l
reserve the right to make the choice
of the battleground McCoole readily
agreed to this, and Coburn chose a gpot
in the vicinity of Gold Springs, Ind., and
named May 27, 1868, as the day for the
contest
Few battles fought on American soil
during the early history of pugilism
excited as much interest as the proposed
meeting between Coburn and MeCoole
The crowd that came from all sectiouns
of the country and which numbered over
00, gathered around the ring which
yas pitched on the turf
A few minutes before the time sched
iled for Coburn's “arrival, a wagon
imbled along the road toward the ring.
It contained Coburn and Jimmy Cusick,
his trainer When the wago was within

200 feet of the rln%. Willlam F. Woods,
then chief of the qunterfeit Detective
Service of the Tréasury Department,
ntorped it, and with Detective E. L.
3" nton, demanded Coburn to alight.
‘oburn got off the wagon and so did
Cusick, whereupon both men were placed
under arrest, and were hurried away to
a jail in Lawrenceburg, Ind. It was
some days before the two men gained
their llbertdy. The failure of the fight to
be staged discouraged McCoole from any
further challenges, and he practicaly
retired from the rng.
~ Meanwhile, Jem Mace had come to
the United States, and Coburn directed
his ‘challenging energies at the KEnglish
man, A match was made for a %2,00‘)
side bet to be fought on May 11, 15870,
in Port Ryeson Canada, As the men
were about to toe scratch for the first
round, word was passed to them that
Canadian officers were among the ring
side ecrowd and that the first blow that
was struck would result in the arrest of
both fighters.
Th,r;\rtor«. Coburn and Mace mere'y
stepgc owdard each other in the center
of the ring, shook hands, backed away
about five feet and there they stood for
one houre and seventeen minutes, with
out a single blow being struck. By
that time the officers, angered at the
way Coburn and Mace were tricking
them, jumped ugfland declared that the
very action of Mace and Couburn ap
pearing Jn a ring rend{ for battle consti
tuted a fracture of the law. "They or
dered the two men out of the ring—and
Mace and Coburn followed orders.
The referee of the contest, Dick Holly
wood, announced the next day that the
stakes should remain posted, and the two
meq should fight in Kansas City on June
2, 1870. Coburn demurred, but Mace
ulfinlfled his willingnees “to fight any
where,” and went to Kansas City. When
he arrived at the apfiolnted battle ground
Coburn did not show up, whereupon
Hollywood declared that Mace was en
titled to the stakes. Coburn at once
gmtested, and in this he was backed up
y Harry Hlill, the stakeholder. Hill
ruled that the referee had no license (o
name a battle ground without the <on
sent of both contestants, and Hill re
ltt\:;ned the atake money to both pagii
.
Considerabie discussion was creatad by
the failure of the first two matches be
tween those men and another was ar
ranged for a side bet of S3OOO. WMace
and Coburn agreea to ngnt on Novem
ber 30, 1870, at Bay St. Louis, near New
Orleans. The battle was fought in
weather bitterly cold and with marrow
chilling rain pouring down.
Mace drew first blood in the fourth
round, and was leading by a slight mar
gin on points until the ninth. Then, in
striking a body blow, he injured his left
hand. Between the tenth and eleventh
rounds he became afflicted with chills,
and his conditions became such that his
friends advised him to quit rather than
risk pneumonia. Coburn, in the mean
time, was also suffering severely from
