CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. I.—Listen to the crowing of the ban tams! Johnny Coulon. 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 Coulon. After Walsh brought us the story we read it to Cou lon. whose face inflamed in righteous wrath. Johnny was a crack penman iu his school days. He scorns a typewriter. The products of the Walsh and Coulon •intellects follow: Bv Thomas Walsh. Manager of Frankie Burns. THE bantamweight class will be split into two divisions soon ss Johnny Coulon stirs up a little courage and consents to takfe a chance with the HS-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 he 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. I suppose if he weighed 140. 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 and 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 '■hampionship 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 20 rounds at New Orleans last Jan uary. Frankie 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. 1 rankie 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. ' oulon fears Burns and is afraid to take a chance. That's where I on the bantam situation, '■ell fight Coulon near Chicago or tn Australia. Anywhere will do. bet's hear from Coulon.

By Johnny Coulon. World’s Bantamweight Champion. rp.OMMf WALSH has 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 cham 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 not good 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 I 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 w’eight 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. 1 gave him a licking both times in New York. At New Orleans in the twentieth round I hit hihrn in the stomach and knocked him dow n. He was all in when the bell rang, and another round would have finished him. Still he claims he won the fight. I was off my stride in that fight at that, but won handily. So you can imagine what I will dp 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 Eddie 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. MINOR SUCCEEDS NOYES; GRIFFITH NOW DIRECTOR WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—Benjamin S.
