The .local directors are utterly disgusted with the showing of the team since Aipei inan took ii ox «■.

W. Smith. the looks of things right now in the bantamweight class the division will be split tip during the coming fall and the men claiming membership will sub divide into two bands. One of these will be headed by Johnny t’oulon. who claims lift pounds as the real bantamweight limit. He wont have a great deal of company. The other squad will be made up of men who insist, for reasons de cidedly palpable, that 118 pounds is the real international limit for the bantamweight class. There are some good men of international reputation in this hunch. The announced coming of Le doux. the French champion, threat ens to make the split in the ranks, which, at that, always have been more or less toni over fhe' Weiglit ‘ ‘ question. , It is said that Dan McKetriek will bring over the little Frencher for a shot at the best of them in this country. Hut. alas. Ledoux can not or will not do. better than 118 pounds, which weight he made for Digger Stanley, the English star, in their recent international combat, won by the Parisian. Since the English authorities on pugilism have stipulated 118 pounds as the bantamweight limit, and their word goes in Europe, Ledoux claims to have excellent grounds for his position Old Argument Up Again. Os coupse, when he lands here, if he comes, the fans will want to see him hook up at once with t’oulon, tint that old weight question is apt to prove the drawback to such an affair. Then it will be that boys like Jimmy Walsh, of Boston, an international scrapper of repute; Frankie Burns, the Jersey lad who is an established and acknowledged tailor in the bantam class; Johnny Hughes, claimant of the English ti tle. to say nothing of a horde of Eastern lads, will band together and bi agreeing to keep the ban tamweight limit at IIS pounds con trive to keep the fighting pretty much among themselves. Burns Can Do 116 Pounds. According io Tommi Walsh, his manager, Frankie Burns is willing to make a weight of 116 pounds at 6 o’clock for t’oulon for a ten-round battle, and would do 116 pounds at the ringside onli for a long con test that might involve the title. But at the same time he would be delighted to meet the French star or any of the others at 118 pounds. Walsh is in the same fix. It appears that Ledoux's defeat of Digger Stanlej. the English star, got him a great repufation in Eu lope. and he is regarded over there as the real wonder. But it must be remembered that Burns trimmed Stanley eighteen months before that happening, so he is entitled to Just as much credit us the Parisian s seeming. N. 0. Wants Big Tourney.

Ideal symposium, isn’t it? •Johnson Wise in Fighting Jeannette 10-Round Go Win Will Give Him Chance to Escape Finish Mill By W. S. Farnswoitli. SEVEN times have Jack Johnson and Joe Jeannette battled. Four of these were no decision af fairs. Once the referee rendered a draw verdict after ten rattling rounds. Once Johnson was declared the winner in fifteen rounds. Once Jeannette earned a decision on a foul in the second round. Jeannette <tas never been knock ed out. Outside of Johnson's one victory over him. Joe has lost to but two men—Sam Langford and Sandy Ferguson. After losing to the Chelsea Joke Jeannette stop ped him in eight rounds. And he and Langford have clashed so many times to an even break that the record books have been unable to keep an account of all of 'em. ♦ « ♦ I F the above dope doesn't make Jeannette a worthy opponent for the champion, then listen to this: Time and again Johnson has admit ted that he fears Jeannette more than any other fighter, not except ing that demon slugger, Langford. Time and again Johnson has re fused to sign up with Jeannette in a battle over a route. Finally, when offered $25,000 and half the moving pit tine receipts, for a ten-round |news from ringside Terry Nelson was in town looking for a match a few days ago. but when he found the game was dead here he announced his intentions of going to Jacksonville, where the game is flourishing at present. • * • Bombardier Wells in an interview a few days ago said Al I’alzer was the only first class "white hope” in America.

The $25,000 and half the "movie” money, of course, are big induce ments. But. believe me. Johnson, a shrewd business man, has figured even further. He knows he can outbox Jeannette in ten rounds, and do it handily, too. He will probab ly pile up a big lead on the New York negro. Anti later. when Jeannette will challenge sot a fight over a championship distance, Johnson will be able to crawl out of such by claiming: "Oh. I gave Jeannette a good beating in New York. He and I wouldn't draw anywhere noxx. No, 1 don't consider him at all." Therefore the coming ten-round fight in Gay Gotham is going to furnish a fine young loophole for Champion John Arthur Johnson. He will then only have Langford as a real contender, and, as in the past, will keep on saying that Langford is too small and that the public doesn't want such a match. • * ♦ ITERE are some of the reasons why Johnson doesn't want to fight Jeannette over a route: 1. Jeannette can stand an unlim- Milwaukee, and Steve Ketchell will meet Young Erlinborn. of Denver, over the same route. Boxing contests are held on the island every Sunday and have been attended by hundreds of fans from all nearby cities. * ♦ * Billy Bibson is going to stage a heavy weight show at the Garden A.

Frank Beverly, a member of the Dallas fire department, is the hope's name, and he is the largest to be sprung on the public yet. Beverly is 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 246 pounds. He is matched with Cass Tar ver for a bout to be staged at Clovis, N. M.. August 29. * ♦ ♦ The fighting game was revived at Rich mond a few days ago when Jack Dillon knocked out Bill Donovan in the fourth round of a scheduled ten-round contest. Mike Gibbons will be seen in Gotham again before many moons. This time Mike will be accompanied by his kid brother, Tom. Young Gibbons is a mid dleweight. and is said to be almost as clever as his brother. The Gibbons brothers should have little trouble in se curing matches in the East as ntiddle ' weight material is plentiful there. WOLGAST AND McFARLAND TO BATTLE OCTOBER 27TH CADILLAC, MICH.. Aug. 16.—After months of negotiations Ad Wolgast. champion lightweight pugilist, and Emil Thiry. of Chicago, t epresenting Packey McFarland, last night signed articles for a ten-round no-decision light be tween Wolgast and McFarland before the Madison Square Athletic club. New York, on October 27. Wolgast's mana ger. Tom Jones, is in California and the champion took charge of his own end of the negotiations.

Aug 16 The I'hattanoogt Baseball club has bought Pitiitm- Grover from th Mays ville. Ky . team, in the Rim Grass leagm Pittsburg was cftei this young pltch< .ml offeree jt.otiti. i, ul t'hatta nooga got him foi Jl.jmi' ifed amount of punishment and can recover front a blow faster and better than any fighter in the game today. 2. Johnson knows that Jeannette does not fear him and therefore win tight at top speed. 3. Johnson's best blow is an up percut—both right and left. Jean nette is not a rushing fighter and stands erect, it will be impossible for Johnson to use an uppercut ex cept when in a clinch on Jeannette. 4. Johnson’s best blows, including the uppercut, will be of little use to hint, for Jeannette is a bear on the defense when in close. 5. Jeannette's best blow (and. for that matter, about his only blow) is a left jab, which is lightning fast. And with it Jeannette can beat Johnson to the punch every time. JOHNSON’S seven fights with J Jeannette were before Joe beat Sam McVey in 49 rounds in Paris April 17. 1909. But that fight in France has caused Johnson to ap preciate what a wonderful scrap per the New York negro really is. On February 20. 1909. Jeannette and McVey fought a terrific 30- round draw in Paris. During the early rounds McVey made a chop ping block of Jeannette, but from the 25th round on Joe came back strong and all but knocked Samuel out He immediately challenged McVey to a finish fight. McVey agreed, after being given about all the money there was in the j house. So on April 17 they fought i the greatest fight ever witnessed 1 east of the Atlantic ocean. For forty rounds McVey made a punching bag out of Jeannette, I knocking him down 29 separate , and distinct times. But in the 41st round McVey began to tire—tire , from punching Jeannette so hard and often. And right there the * tide of battle changed. , From then on through the 48th round Jeannette jabbed the totter ing McVey from rope t o rope. When Sam went to his corner at , the end of the 49th. he was prac < tically out —out from exhaustion. The minute's rest did him no good, I and when the bell rang for the start of the 50th round his seconds tossed in the sponge as a token of defeat. He couldn't get off his stool. ♦ ♦ • K/T’VEY is now and always was a harder puncher than Johnson ' Jack knows this. And believe me I this is going to keep him from ever . fighting Jeannette In a finish fight, f He figures that if McVey, who landed his hardest and flush time and again, could not stop the New Yorker, then he realizes he can not. All of which proves that J Ar thur Johnson is a wise champion * * * the longer Johnson puts off fighting Jeannette for the cham pionship pver a route, the worse It I is going to be for him; that is if he ever tights him at all. And for s the simple reason that Jeannette is a clean liver and a family man who , has no bad habits, while Johnson is exactlx Jeannette’s opposite. In ten rounds it's Johnson in * »• walk, but in a finish battle Jean, f nette would carry our bank roll and the family Jewels. NEW SIX-CLUB LEAGUE ABOUT TO ORGANIZE U A'CROSS.
