It was a great day for Tommy
Spence.
Another thing 1 remember, too—the
#teady look on his face as he came
driving through the line. It wasn't
the scowl of the many so-called
“fighting faces.” It wasn't the flash

map as he steps around the end and
gets into his full stride rown the field
Tommy's face was serious and
thoughtful, and tremendously steady.
I have never forgotten it. He was

playing the game to the limit.

Spence’'s face looked just that way
when he took the last long plunge
through the whistling air, out of the

when that was gone, the Old Boy

a time Coburn paid : S P ¥

to McCoole's chal- | '4 L ;\

perated McCoole, o B

and aunounced: i g 7 i

“1 nave SI,OOO ; Y |
here with me that ¢ g
I'll put up now to { E

with Coburn, e §&
seems to think that } : el
I've been bluffing
This SI,OOO is his if 1 don't show up on
the day that the match is to be pulled
ofT I'l meet him within 50 miles of
New Orleans, Memphis, l.ouisville, Cin
cinnati or St. Louis He can fight me
for any amount that he wanis up to
$5,000.
That defl was hurled at Coburn on
October 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,” insisted Coburn. *I
reserve the right to make the choice
of the battleground.”” McCoole readily
agreed to this, and Coburn chose a spot
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 McCoole
The crowd that came from all sections
of the country and which numbered over
5,000, gathered around the ring which
was pitched on the turf
A few minutes before the time sched
uled for Ceburn's arrival, a wagon
rumbled along the road toward the ring
It containcd Coburn and Jimmy Cusick,
his trainer. When the wago was within
200 feet of the ring, William F. Woods,
then chief of the Counterfeit Detective
Service of the Treasury Department,
stopped it, and with Detective E. L.
Quinton, demanded Coburn to aligit
Coburn got off the wagon and sgo did
Cusick, whereupon both men were nlacad
under arrest, and were hurried away to
a jail in Lawrenceburg, Ind It was
gome days before the two men gained
their liberty The failure of the fight to
be staged discouraged McCoole from any
further challenges, and he practicaly
retired from the ring
Meanwhile, Jem Mace had come (o
the United States, and Coburn directed
his challenging energies at the kKnglis
mat A match was made for a $2,00(
side bet to be fought on May 11, 1870
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
gide crowd and that the first blow that
was struck would result in the arrest o
both fighters
| Thererore, Coburn and Mace mere'y
gtepped toward each ot r in the cente
lof the ring, shook hands, backed away
lnh»-ur five feet and there they stood for
one houre and seventeen minutes. with
out a single hlow being struck By
that time the officers, angered at the
'way Coburn and Mace were tricking
them, jumped up and declared that the
very action of Mace and Couburn an
pearing in a ring ready 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
men should fight in Kansas City on June
2, 1870, Coburn demurred, bhut Ma e
signified his willingnees *“‘to fight any
where,” and went to Kansas City. When
he arrived at the appointed battle ground
'('ohurn did not show up, whereupon
Hollywood declared that Mace was en
titled to the stakes. Coburn at on:e
protested_ and in this he was backed vp
by Harry Hill, the stakeholder Hill
ruled that the referee had no licen:e (o
name a battle ground without the .n
--sent of both contestants, and Hill re
turned the stake money to both pigii
itsts,
Considerabte discussion was creatad by
the fallure of the first two matches be
tween those men and another was ar
ranged for a side bet of S3OOO Vace
and Coburn agreea 10 ngnt on Novems
ber 30, 1870, at Bay St. L.ouis, 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 nis 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

confidence in Garry Herrmann, present
chairman of the commission, while the
National League already has manifest

The New York assembly also must

of the junior circuit voted to recommedd
that the 1919 schedule encompass but
