W HERE are the ring “sluggers"
of yesterday—the men who
could drop a right against the
chin, or drive a left to the body and
call it a day’s work? •
The "killer’’ has disappeared along
with the lightning rod, horse car and
Republican vote. In his place we
have the clever boxer, scientific, but
punchless, remarkably fast on his
feet, but over careful with his hands.
When Ad Wolgajt hit the derailing
switch he left the lightweight title
in the hands of a young man With
but five "K’s" in his whole record.
And this young man, since having
the championship wished on him, has
done nothing but take a daily decis
ion over a T-bone steak, and practice
the toe dance.
It’s the same wav all along the
line, from the bantam babes to toe
bull neck heavies. The present day
boxer is light on his feet, runs well
both backward and forward, Is kind
and considerate with hts opponents,
and will fight if forced—perhaps.

believe that it is no more than right
that Kilbape should b' credited wp .

Dundee claims to carry’ a knock

\17ILL1E RITCHIE accuses himself
of being the lightweight cham
pion of the world. A careful search
of his record shows the San Fran

he has floored but five, stopping su .
terribles as Monk Enochs,- Kid
French. Tony Josephs, Tommy Mc
Farland and Yankee Schwartz..
Freddie Welsh totes the light
weight champio. hip titles of both
England and Australia, but his sys

stuff. Frederick can v “Yankee

Jab him on the nose three hundred

without letting the other fellow kno v
that he Is in trouble.
And there’s Packev McFarland, o r
138-pound “lightweight.” With the
benefit of his extra poundage Packy
Is unable to break into the knockout
column. He’s fast, clever and has a
beautiful baritone voice.
We have ho*''' for the 133-pound

President Charles W. Murphy, but has
an unbroken record of successes in

GRIFFIN SUCCEEDS WEBER
AS AM ERIC U S MANAGER
AMKRICPS. CA May 12 The
A morions ball team left yesterday for
Way cross in charge of First Baseman
Hal Grit!ln as temporary manager.
Thoroughly tired of continued defeat
sustained bv the Americus aggrega
tion. the directors met this morning
and relieved Manager Ilarrv Weber
of that office, temporarily at least,
putting Griffin in charge.
Americas has lost seven of the nine
games played already, and while
Manager Weber ascribes defeat to
bad luck, local fans are less char
itably inclined, ft is generally sus
pected here that the salary limit rule
is not being observed by all of the
dubs of the league, and as Americas
is living within the salary limits she
is placed at disadvantage in employ
ment of proficient players.
Ill luck of the Americus team re
cently has caused interest in base
ball to tlag perceptibly, although a
winning streak would quickly restore
enthusiasm.

they come. He is constructing; and
out of the twisted mass of baseball
junk which he took over at the lie
ginning of the season, he is going to
have a smooth-running machine soon.
The Boston club, although many good
hitters have resided on the team from
time to time, has long been the victim
of its own sluggishness. Stallings is
trying to add a little speed to liis
club. He realizes its value. With this
notion in mind, he went out and sign
ed Mann to play in the outfield. Stal
lings thinks tlie boy will make a great.

the International League, and once a

* • •
A BOUT the Pittsburg club, I do
not know what to say. I have
not seen the team play this year so
far. hut from the gossip in the league
and the box scores, it is evident that,
the club is all off its balance. The
return of Wagner is going to help the
team a whole lot. but Clarke’s great
est disappointment is the failure of
Iris pitchers to come through. Before
the season, tlie Pittsburg pitching
staff was regarded as one of the best
In the league, if not the very best,
both by the players themselves and
by the newspaper writers who follow
tilt* teams. Many times bull players
will approve a man whom tlie gen
eral public and the writers cannot
see. For instance. Fletcher, formerly
the shortstop of the Giants, was gen
erally rated more highly by ball play
ers than by the general public and
writers. They know liis ground-cov
ering ability, and lie lias the finest
pair of bands 1 ever saw on a ball
player.
B
I T, to return to the Pittsburg
si,'unhung slugging they were to ride
through the league to an early iien-
nant, because even tlie members of
tlie club themselves concede that the
team lacks speed. But the pitchers
would hold the opposing teams to one
or two runs, and the Pittsburg boys
would pile up many with their bats,
and there would lie a nice little bail
game for Mr. Clarke ail wrapped up
in cotton batting and tin foil to lie
put in the moth balls. However, tlie
pitchers have been permitting many
runs, and the batters have not lieen
slugging: and the race is not de
stroyed yet.
“The Pirates condition slowly. Wait
until the warm weather sets in,” a
Pittsburg rooter whispered into my
car the other day.
It will do the team little good to
round into form along in September.
It is my honest opinion that the club
is going to get on tlie move one of
these days and kick up a lot of dust.
It yet will be a trouble-maker in the
league, because those pitchers are
sure to liegin to twirl and the bat
ters to hit. Therefore, it pleases the
Giants immensely to see the Pirates
crowded down as far ns possible at
this stage, especially as we are not up
any too high in tlie ladder of the
club standing ourselves.

Referee Usually Correct
^••4* *«••+ •$•#•£ v* *r*
Defends Charley Eyton
D'
By Otto C. Floto.
ENVER, May 12.—Voicing their
opinions. That’s the privilege
of every gathering where box
ing bouts are decided. Yet how of
ten have we found the great major
ity in error while taking issue with
the judge who renders the decision.
Many and many a time have I seen
the third man in the ring absolutely
correct in his judgment, and yet the
crowd howled its disapproval. Then
also have I seen the referee quite
wrong and t{ie crowd give him greac
applause for the verdict. It’s all the
way you look at it; it’s the angle
from which you view the content.
And yet with it all 1 11 wager that
the man In the ring is more often
correct than the crowd seated about
the arena. The official in the in
closure is generally one supposed to
know the game, the tricks, advan
tages that score points and every
thing else that becomes necessary to
make him a fair and impartial judge.
For that reason he is better able to
reach a correct verdict than the out
sider, who conies only on occasions to
view' the fights, and who nine times
out of ten is prejudiced. Of course,
when an incompetent man officiates,
then our argument is dashed to the
ground—we are left without a leg
to stand upon.
* * «
UOW many times have you sat at
* 1 the ringside when one man’s
friends seemed in the majority?
You’ve seen thi** favorite beaten a
mile, and yet the referee, for fear
of adverse criticism, either calls the
bout a “draw” or awards the deci
sion to the man whose friends are
shouting for him and yet who failed
White City Park Now Open
to win. I've seen this occur time and
again, and so have you.
Just now Charley Eyton of Los
Angeles is being “panned" for call
ing the Dundee-Kilbane bout a draw.
The press reports tell us that the
verdict was unpopular and that Kil-
bane won. Perhaps so. But we
have always found Eyton quite cor
rect in his decisions. For years he
has officiated in Los Angeles, and no
complaint has been heard. He may
have erred this time for all we know.
But wait until the smoke of battle
clears away and you'll find that his
verdict wasn’t so far amiss. That,
at any rate, is my guess.
• * ¥
T F the verdict was not in accord-
A ance with the facts, then Kilbane
has but himself to blame. His stal
ling tactics are quite unbecoming for
a champion and have got him in bad
in the East until his last fight, when
he redeemed himself with a knock-,
out and regain some of his standing.
A champion is supposed to carry the
brunt of the battle. If he allows
his opponent to assume the aggres
sive from start to finish, how can he
hope to gain the favor of the referee?
Isn’t the fellow who rushes the bat
tle and makes it possible for the
spectators to see real action entitled
to something?
