KNUCKLES, GLOVES FIGHTER Many questions have made the rounds from time to time in re- gard to gloves and bare knuckles fighters, It will be interesting to note that John L. Sullivan was the last champion under London Prize Ring rules with knuckles and the] first 'under the revised rules and : Maria of Queensberry rules with Toon L. Sullivan, better known in by-gone days as "The Boston 'Strong Boy", was born in Boston, Mass, Oct. 18, 1858, and was just 'short of 'one and a half inch from 'the six-foot height mark and four pounds less % hom the 200-1b. weight, During his brilliant career John L. engaged in 39 bouts and Rad won 20 fights, credited with 13 K.O%s, 1 no-decision, 8 draws, 3 exhibitions and knocked out 'orice, The great fightet died on Feb. §; 1918; at Abington, Mass. One of the greatest fights in hiss tory was in the year 1889, July 8 to be exact, in. the form of 75 rounds by John L, Sullivan when he de- '| feated Jake -Kilrain at Richbourg, Miss, It was Sullivan's last fight with bare knuckles, Later, in 1892, Sept. 7, the' famous boxer lost the 1 coveted title to James J, Corbett in | 21 rounds at New Orleans, La. "THE TOY BULLDOG" Mickey Walker, aptly named the "Toy Bulldog", having won the wel. ter-weight title sauntered inpo- the heavier class against Harry Greb, and was soundly whipped in 13 rounds. This bout was staged as part of a charity show in New York, July 2, 1925. Walker was born on July 13, 1901, Elizabeth, NJ. On Dec. 3, 1926, Walker made an- other sortie into the middle-weight class and this time he was success- ful. His victim was Tiger Flowers, whom he beat in 10 rounds in Chi- cago. Walker had won on points. On June 30, 1927, Walker made a trip to England and there knock- ed out Tommy Milligan, who had tried in 1926 as British welter cham- pion, to get a fight with Walker, for the world's title of that class. " Walker tried his hand against [light-heavies and 'had knocked out Armand' Emanuél in 7 rounds. Against Tommy Loughran, . the champion, Walker dropped. a close verdict in. 10 rounds. However, he was successful in defending his 160-pound title against his. old ri- val Ace Hudkins at Log Angeles, Oct. 29, 1929. It was a 10-round af- fair. IRISH MIKE M'TIGUE On Nov. 26, 1892, in County Clare, Ireland, was born Michael Francis M'Tigue and when old enough to don on gloves became quite well- be big: ring; during his Aghiting ds heéweighed around 170 pounds and was 5 feet 10 inches in height. One of his great fights was against Bat. Siki and suffice it to say that the odds were heavily in the Irishman's favor and M'Tigue won a just decision over Siki and was acclaimed the 'champ. The bout occurred on- St, Patrick's Day, 1923, in' Dublin. - During the period MTigue held the title he was troubled with bad hands and did not perform as well as could be expected, Several list- less 'fights 'had turned the fans somewhat against him sd M'Tigue showing a flash of his real fofm was defeated by Paul Berlenbach for his jue on" Declaration Day, May 30, After that M'Tigue fought in bet- 'ter form. and pnléashed 'a knockout punch that earned him a fight with Jack Sharkey, a leading contender at that time for the heavy-weight title. M'Tigue boxed superbly for 10 rounds. and was winning on points when a blow severed an ar- tery in his cheek and forced the ref- eree to. halt the. fight. HECTOR IS IRISH Some 'people are of the' opinion that Hector McDonald is: a Cana- dian, The boxér is a real Irishman, du in Dublin, Ireland, March 2, It will be recalled Hector had fcught .. mateur battles and had || lost only one decision. He once cap- tured the flyweight and bantam- weight titles the same night in four fights, in Vancouver, B.C. Hector McDonald did extremely well in. later matches--a long string of them. This fine boxer stood in the ring at 5 feet 7 inches. ANSWER TO QUESTION The open-air game, known as Cricket, in its present state has been developed from an old game played in England in the 13th cen- tury, and the game is mentioned --from 1598 under the name of "kri- kett""--in & number of works up to the commencement of the 18th cen- tury. The Marylebone Cricket Club arose 'on the breaking up of the White Conduit Club in 1787, and played matches on the first ground known as Lord's, at which is now Dorset Square in Marylebone, re- moving afterwards to near Regent's Park, and in 1807 to ha John's Wood. The first laws of the dine were drawn up by the London Club in 1774 and revised by the M.C.C. in 1788;" the lagfér club remained thenceforth the ruling authority of the game--the rules having been re- vised and altered by it from time to fime.
