Klaus started the Pittsburger over
the dizzy road, (’hip then closed In
and shot a short right to the Jaw.
Klaus became weaker, and Chip con
tinued raining blows on his weaken

Klaus got up at the count of seven,
but was very weak. Chip was after
him like a flash, raining blows on his

The arms of Klaus dropped to his

and put up a wonderful battle.

>HE ring statistician who cuts
4 loose once a year with a review
of the champions will find him
self all out of material when he
reaches for the 1912 “dope.”
Jack Johnson had a lively year, in
jail and out, mostly in. but as heavy
weight champion the Big Cinder was
not called upon to defend his title.
The wholesale movement to “legis
late" Johnson out from under the
championship failed for the simple
reason that none of the pale heavies
were able to make a decent showing.
As championship candidates our
White Hopes run muchly to gorgon-
zola. the same being a fine brand of
ripe cheese recently discovered by Joe
Reichl.
Ah! yes; the middleweight cham
pions. some flock. We have Jimmy
(flabby, middleweight champion of
Hammond, lnd And Qeorge Chip,
middleweight champion of Scranton,
Pa. And Frank Klaus, middleweight
champion of Pittsburg. And Frank
Mantel!, middleweight champion of
Sacramento. And Billy Papke, mid
dleweight champion of something or
other.
(flabby appears to be the best of the
lot, with Chip a suspicious seconu.
The remainder of the herd might
possibly qualify as sparring partners
for a real fighter.
Packy McFarland is the welter
weight champion, but he isn’t printing
this fact on his letterheads, for fear
that he may have to meet Mike Gib
bons. Mention these two boxers and
you have talked about the entire
142-pound division.
Willie Ritchie has worked like the
regular lightweight champion that he
is. Since taking the title from Wolgast,
the San Francisco box'* has beaten Ills
two most dangerous trailers—Joe
Rivers and Leach Cross—and is now
rematched to meet the veteran “Har
lem” Tommy Murphy: But it is up to
him to fight Freddie Welsh as soon as
possible.
As featherweight champion, John
nie Kilbanc had an easy year of it.
He tangoed for twenty rounds xvitn
Dundee, kicked “Young” Mars, of Cin
cinnati, until that youth never can
hope to amount to anything, and
picked a few “plants.”
Johnnie Coulon, as bantamweight
champion, Is th.‘ most pitiful speci
men of a title owner we have ever had
to look upon. Coulon has been on the
run for the past twelve months, leav
ing all the fighting in this' class to
Williams, Ledoux and Cam pi. Wil
liams is the best of the bunch and is
the bantamweight king in everything
but name.
Not a title changed hands, not a
champion (save Ritchie) took a
lighting chance. Nothing about th-?
year 1913 for the ring birds to grow
excited over.
Fifty Motorcycle
Demons to Start in
300-Mile Marathon
SAVANNAH, GA., Dec. 24.—Fifty ma
chines are expected to compete
in the 300-mile Grand Prize pro
fessional motorcycle race over the
shortened Grand Prize automobile course
on Christmas day. The value of the
cash prizes and cups to be contended
for has attracted motorcycle riders from
all over the country.
So important has the event become
that the Federation, of American Mo
torcyclists. of which the Savannah Mo
torcycle Club is a member, and under
the sanction, of w'hich the event will be
run, has sent down Arthur Mitchell, of
Chicago, as official referee for the
race.
While the entries are piling in the
road work has not been left undone.
The Chatham County Commissioners
have had a force of convicts at work
for several weeks, smoothing out the
rough places on the course and banking
and improving the turns.
This will not only be the longest mo
torcycle event of its kind ever staged,
but the first of its kind—the only 300-
mile race for the world’s record for the
distance -and this record will probably
stand unless another race is attempted
at Savannah.

OverJohnnyDundee
NEW ORLEANS. LA.. Dec. 24. - Fred
die Welsh. British champion, has been
made a 10 to 8 fax'orite over Johnny
Dundee, the Eastern lightweight, by lo
cal fans. Welsh has been working here
for the past week and is showing great
form in his daily workouts. ,
Harry Pollock, manager of Welsh, is
looking for a sure win for his protege.
Pollock says he nas Welsh matched to
box Frank Whitney in Atlanta and feels
that a victory over Dundee will boost
Freddie’s stock considerably. The
Eastern lightweight has oeen going good
of iate and is being touted all over
the country as a contender for Willie
Ritchie’s crown. This means that
Welsh will have to be at his best to
win.
Dundee is expected here some time
to-morrow and will get down to real
work at once. A victory over Welsh
will be a big feather in his cap.

S IX years ago Billy Murray, noxv a
Pi rat* 1 scout and then manager of
the Phillies, instituted a motion to
credit with a sacrifice hit the useful
bloke who should arise in the pinch
and smite a long fly to the oufleld on
which a runner on third scored.
This xx as a deserving clause in the
Kcoring rules, and has proved a popu
lar measure since Its adoption, but
never more so than this year.
• • •
U JTITHOUT that saving clause, dat
ing six years back, good old Ho-
nus. for the flr.st time in all his long
and honorable National League ca
reer, would liaxe finished outside the
charmed circle of .300 wallopers.
As It was. Hans hatted an even .300
ir. the official figures. Without the
credit of sacrifice flies deducted from
his ”at bats.” the Flying Dutchman
would have hit Just 298 a pretty
fair little average, by the way, but a

wretched little txxo points would hav«
separated the great shortstop from
his rightful place in the noble three

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Packev Mc
Farland is still in the good graces of the
l ew York State Athletic Commission
There will he no suspension of the Chi-
ago boxer because he offended in Wis-
onsin. which State ruled him out of the
r ng for a year. The boxing body of this
State took up the McFarland case with
S s regular business yesterday, but failed
t > see why they should punish the Chi
cagoan.
The commission, in discussing th*»
case, declared the Wisconsin body erred
li suspending Packey without a hear
I g. They went further to intimate tha
i was up to the commission' to stop
Packey from entering the ring tha
light if he had offended and not war
mtil the promoters got clear and then
place the ban on the boxer. Their con
tent ion is that the public is to be con-
idered first, not the promoters.
