BERLIN TRIES
TO DEVELOP
BOXING GAME
—.—
NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (by Associated
Press).—The spread of boxing to I
countries which previous to the war j
were not familiar with the ring game
has resulted in a number of novel in
cidents, viewed in the light of Ameri
can pugilistic traditions. Berlin has
been the scene of a belated attempt
to develop the fistic art. and at a re
cent series of contests the announcer
gave a little harangue in advance,,
pointing out that as Germany wanted j
to be on even terms in all sports,
boxing as fostered by French, English
and Americans had been introduced.
The first pair of boxers came re
spectively from Berlin and Vienna,
and weighed in at 115 and 120 Ger
man pounds respectively. The Ger
man pound is one-tenth heavier than
the American. It was characteristic
that no two boxers weighed the same.
One was invariably heavier and had
the advantage.
The first victim, after putting up a
fair show for two rounds, ran afoul
of a wild swing of his opponent, and,
so crude was the opponent, the
“swipe” was with an open glove, and
was really nothing more than a slap
in the face. They were eight-ounce
gloves, too.
Down went the “boxer” who had
done so well for two rounds. He took
the count of nine, rose, and in a few
seconds went down again, from a blow
that could not have been more than
a tap. He seemed to have lost cour
age, and though he was never “out”
or anywhere near it, he lost all in
terest in fighting, and obediently
perched himself on elbows and knees
as the referee counted him out.
The last bout was very short and
sweet, principally because the far
heavier man was a German who had
lived in San Francisco for a long time
—Hans Breitenstraeter he called him
self on the program. Hans showed
just a bit of class, and the knowledge
that he had been in America, and pre
sumably knew something about box
ing, evidently awed bis eight pounds
lighter opponent.
St was soon after the opening of the
■second round that Hans hit Friedrich
a tap on the chin, and he promptly
gave up the ghost. He was no more
"out” than the other defeated pu
gilists. He had had enough, and he
lay quietly until “ten” had sounded,
then hounded to his feet and ran from
the ring.
In sharp contrast were the unusual
circumstances attending the victory
in London of Eugene Criqui, the
Frenchman, over Walter Ross, the
Englishman, for the premier bantam
weight honors of Europe. The final
blow was delivered when Ross did not
know the fight was “on,” and when
the ring was crowded with seconds
and other enthusiastic spectators.
Near the close of the fourteenth
round a right hook to the jaw sent
Ross to the mat, apparently finished.
After a few moments, seconds from
both corners, with spectators, clam
bered into the ring. Ross was car
ried to his corner helpless, and the
French contingent began to celebrate.
Amid the usual confusion attending'
a knockout, Eugene Corri, the referee,
announced that the gong had sounded
at the count of seven.
Ross, revived but dazed, joined the
gesticulating Frenchmen and others
in the center of the ring as Corri was
trying to clear the ring, all the while
calling “Bout on,” a familiar London
expression after an interruption. At
first no one paid any attention to him.
Criqui finally realized that with the
referee calling “Bout on” he had a
right to fight, so he made his way
through the crowd and planted a solid
right on the unsuspecting. Ross’s jaw.
There was no question about Ross be
ing “out” after that., and Criqui was
officially credited with winning the
championship by a knockout in the
fifteenth round.
