Old Weight Trouble Stirs a Row
By SOL PLEX.
CHICAGO. ILL.. Oct. I. Listen.to tiie crowing of the ban
tams! Johnny Conlon. Logan Square's proud champion
of the class, and Frankie Burns, the slender Jersey City
Irishman, are sharpening their spurs preparatory to being toss
ed into the pit, but they can’t agree on the weight.
Thomas “Diagnosis" Walsh, who manages Burns, is getting
desperate in his efforts to force the Chicago boy in the arena
with Frankie at something like, 116 pounds at 6 o'clock for a
night fight, but John turns Thomas a deaf ear and talks of 116-
pound ringside boys and less aggressive managers.
Walsh, in an angry mood, grabbed a typewriter yesterday
afternoon and punched out some burning sentences about one
Conlon. After Walsh brought us the story we read it to Con
lon. whose face inflamed in righteous wrath. Johnny was a
crack penman in his school days. He scorns a typewriter. The
products of the Walsh and Conlon intellects follow:

Manager of Frankie Burns.
THE bantamweight class will
he split into two divisions soon •
ss Johnny Coulon stirs up a
little courage and consents to take
a chance with the 118-pounders,
who are fighting at a weight which
was recognized for years as the
real bantamweight limit. There are
any number of sturdy and clever
lads willing to fight it out for the
title at 118 but Coulon seems to
imagine lie can set the weight for
the class at any old figure he
pleases. Well, he can't.
To begin with, Coulon never won
the title from anybody. How did
he get it? He beat a lot of 105-
■ pound boys and claimed the title.
There was none to dispute him at
the time. Then he. raised the limit
to 112 pounds and said he was
champion. Next he pushed it to 115
pounds, finally to 116, and now he
refuses to go higher. 1 suppose if
he weighed 110. he’d still claim the
title of the bantams at that pound
age.
A New Class a Certainty,
Just as sure as Coulon sticks to
this 116-pound ringside stuff there
is going to be a new bantamweight
class with 118 pounds as the es
tablished weight limit. Such boys
as Frankie Burns. George Le
doux, the French phenomenon. Jim
Walsh of Boston and a half dozen
others will soon make this the real
class, and everybody will forget
about Johnny Coulon ind his 116
pounds ringside. Eddie Morgan,
the English champion, is another
118. pounder.
Coulon talks like a dictator. He'll
dictate himself out of the class be
fore long. He's a champion afraid
to take a chance: the Shvlock of
the ring, demanding his pound of
flesh in every battle in which his
championship is at stake.
Burns Whaled Him Three Times.
Frankie Burns whaled him twice
in New York in no-decision con
tests. Everybody knows that
Burns really whipped Johnny in 26
rounds at New Orleans last Jan
uary. Frankie was robbed outright
in that fight. Burns can do 116 if
necessary , but does not admit Cou
lon has the right to tell him he
should weigh under 118. However.
Frankie stands ready and willing to
mingle with Johnny at 116 at 6
o'clock for ten rounds, or 116 ring
side if Johnny will go 20 rounds
with him for the title.
Coulon fears Burn- and is afraid
io take a chance. That's where 1
stand on the bantam situation.
We'll fight Coulon near Chicago or
in Australia. Anywhere wifi do.
Let's hear from ('onion.

rpOMMY WALSH ho- a fine
I chance of starting another
bantam class Which will be
recognized by the critics and the
public as worthy of serious consid
eration. The writer has been (-ham
pion of the world's bantamweights
for-several years. and certainly
holds the right to set the weight
at which he wishes to defend his
honors.
The chief trouble with Walsh and
his fighter. Frankie Burns, is that
they know Burns is a feather
weight, but no y od enough to
mingle with the good feathers. So
they are trying to butt into my
class and put over something. But
they can’t get away with it. Le
doux. Morgan and Walsh can have
my game if they'll do 116 pounds at
the ringside. Otherwise there is no
chance for them
Only Weighs 112 Now.
I only weigh 112 pounds now,
while getting ready for my fight
with Kid Williams in New York on
October 18. When 1 let the other
fellows in at 116 ringside I always
have about four pounds the worst
of it. Frankie Neil. Harry Forbes
and all the good bantams battled
at 116 pounds. That weight has
been used more often in champion
ship bantam fights than 118. and as
I am the kingpin I certainly am
keeping the notch at 116.
As to Burns ever whipping me.
everybody knows that is a joke. I
gave him a licking both times in
New York. At New Orleans in the
twentieth round I hit hihm in the
stomach and knocked him doyen. He
was all in when the bell. rang, and
I another round would have finished
him. Still he claims lie won the
fight. I was off my stride in that
fight at that, but won handily. So
you can imagine what ! will do to
him when we meet again.
He’ll Box Burns and Bet Him.
If Burns really wants to meet me
again for 20 rounds at 116 ring
side. let him name the date and the
place. He can have a nice side
bet if he wants it. too.
Despite Walsh’s claims, there are
plenty of 116-pound boys to fight.
Kid Williams is an idol in Balti
more and New York. Out on the
coast Eadie Campia is another
great card. The bantam class can
get along without the feather
weights. Let Burns and the rest
do my weight or get out of the di
vision. They can't start a new one.

LYNCH WILL MAKE FOGEL
APPEAR BEFORE LEAGUE
NEM lORK, Oct. L- President
Thomas J. Lynch, of the National
league, intends that the board of di
rectors of the league shall investigate
the charges of Horace S. Fogel, presi
dent of the Philadelphia club, that fa
vorable decisions by certain umpires
were responsible for the New York club
winning the pennant this year.
In a statement issued last night Mr
Lynch says:
"As far as President Fogel's attack
on the president of the National league
is concerned. 1 care nothing. My 25
years record in baseball speaks for it
self. This cowardly attack on the hon
esty of the umpires and the game itself
is a different matter, however, and can
not he overlooked. 1 shall take these
charges of Presideni Fogel before the
board of directors of the National
league, which has sole jurisdiction. Re
gardless of whether Mr. Fogel has
financial interest in the Philadelphia
club or not. he is the president of that
organization and the charges lie makes
can only be handled by the league it
self.”
Malaria-Blood Poverty
Malaria is a species of blood poverty known as Anaemia; the circulation
becomes Sa weak and impure that it is unable to supply the system with
sufficient nourishment and Strength to preserve ordinary health. In the
first stages of Malaria the complexion grows pale and sallow, the appetite
is affected, the system grows bilious, and there is a general feeling of weak
ness. As the circulation becomes more thoroughly saturated with the ma
larial infection, the digestion is deranged, chills
and fever come and go, skin diseases, boils, sores
and ulcers break out, and the entire health becomes
impaired. Malaria can only be cured by removing
I the germs from the blood. S. S. S. destroys every
I particle of malarial infection and builds up the
Wlr/ blood to a strong nourishing condition. Then the
system receives its proper amount of nutriment,
* A44n F-y|” jr sallow complexions grow ruddy and healthful, the
liver and digestion are righted and every symptom
of Malaria passes away. S. S. S. cures in every
case because it purifies the blood. S. S. S. is a safe and pleasant remedy
as well as an efficient one. Book on the blood and any medical advice free.

NEW YORK. Oct. I.—Jim Savage, the
Orange, N. .1., heavyweight, today hung
crepe on his championship hopes as a re
sult of his defeat by Gunboat Smith, of
California, at the Madison Square Gar
den last night.
Savage was knocked cold in the third
round with an overhand swing Some of
the 6.000 fans who saw the contest
thought Savage quit cold and feigned
greater injury than he received.
Incidentally the Orange boxer received
his first cauliflower ear. He said he con
