jtidt come from a price fight. Ihave Just shaken hands with Bat-tling Lievinsky, Young Ahea.n,

"the Brooklyn dancing master,"Knock Out Brown, Jack Brltton,Tom Kennedy and other lights ofthe pugilistic world*. And—lifehold no further mysteries for me.I have seen them box! -

Don't be shocked. Yon will lietasty the fact that you are behindthe times if the thought of a wom-an at a boxing bout gives you tlmtlulest shiver.

New York women are box-Ing iiihi!. Those who wonder-ed what we were going todo after we got tired of tan-going hikl fox-trotting needworry no longer! They knowthe hiihuit now. We are go-ing to Ih>\!Already many society girls are

taking lessons in the manly art,and between matches the younghopefuls of the prize ring are giv-ing them boxing lessons at $2f> anhour!

In Paris, of course, women kavebeen going to prize fights quiteopenly for years. Their husbandsand brothers take them. Theywear full opera dress, and thering is backed with palius andtropical plants and there are rareTurkish rugs about the stage.

Boxing has not reached thatstate of luxury in New York asyet. Brown's gymnasium, whereI met the cream of the local prizering, is 'a bare, dimly-lightedplace, and the men and womenwho < <niinosi'd the Invited aud-ience and Hat about the ring onchairs or benches wore theireveryday clothes. Most of thewomen were veiled, moreover,and wore a furtive air.

Caroline Bauman is the womonboxer I saw. She is now a prn-fesHional, but Is said to have beena Washnigton, l» C, debatanfe afew yearn ago. She looks llkqjAn-nette Kellerman.

At the end of a three-mltmtego with Kddie Toy, Referee ,J«rkAdler walked to Miss itMuiiuin -corner and lifted her right Nipdhigh in the air as a loi.-en th:»t all -had won the bout.

You should have heard Uhewomen present applaud aniljtli"men cheer! Maybe that bout Inwhich the woman won was a"frame-up." I don't know a's6utthat. But I do know that j<liethree rounds which followed i be-tween Jack Brltton and JoliiuyKeise were painfully real. \\\

HARTNET WINSI«o J. Hartnet had low score to

WOMAN FAN BEATSMEN; GETS SEASON

PASS FOR PRIZEMen fans of Tacoma, shame on you!A woman fan has shown her superiority in rec-

ognizing the masked pictures of famous players,past and present.

Mrs. W. J. Bradford, 721 No. 60th street, muuitdeight of the nine players of The Times All-Star .Masked Baseball team, while the men fans whowon the first prizes Saturday only named sevencorrectly.

Mrs. Bradford wrote out her answers Thursdayand gave them to a friend to bring to The Timesoffice. The friend entirely forgot about the puzale, and did not bring in the answers until Saturday afternoon.

So The Times has a surprise for this ener-getic "lady fan." As a special honor, it willgive Mrs. Bradford a season pass to Athleticpark.When a woman fan can gless more names of hail

players than any of the men fans of Tucoina, itlooks as though she is entitled to a season p;iss.

Mrs. Bradford named eyerv player in the lineupexcept "Patsy" Tebeaii. 'She' named FrankChance instead of Teheau.
