Whitney Among Them.
Three real lightweights of promi
nence have come to the front during
1916, and one of them Is none other
than our own Frank Whitney, whose
k. 0. victory aver AAQ Wolgdst secured
him recognition all over the cnumr,v.'
and he would make the lightweight
division a real champion. Charlie |
White, the Chicago knocker-out, sure
ly deserves to be ranked right at the
top of the lightweight class. Besides
these two, we might mention Johnny
Dundee, who is also a star. Willie
Lewis, Jack Britton, Willle Ritchie
and Johnny Grifiths are welter
weights, and we will write of them
later.
Passing of Mandot.
The passing of Joe Mandot was a
sad blow to the South. Mandot's re
cent knock-out at the hands of Benny
Leonard just about ended Joe's ca
reer, and the “Frenchman” has plenty
of friends who watch his passing with
sorrow,
Not much need be sald of the wel
terweight class. If Willle Lewis, Wil
lie Ritchie, Jimmy Dusty, Johnny
GriMths and Jack Britton would guit

Three Head Middles.
Business in the middleweight class
in picking up, but this class still lacks
" chunmon. Mike Gibbons, Les Darcy
and Dilion lead the field, and an elim
ination contest between these three
would Just about settle matters.
The lght-heavywelght class is a
dead eue. Jim Savage, Jack Dillon
and Jim Flynn are the best of the
light-heavies, bhut these men are all

The only title that changed hands
during the past ysar was the heavy

from the hands of Jack Johnson to
Jess Willard on April 6, 1918, Jess
bax not defended his title since that

Plea Mddb’ |

-
By “Chick” Evans. I
OT long ago 1 received o lotter
from a geifer who made a plea
for betier obeervance of ilhe
ruies of the game. He did not mean
that every golfer should know every
rule and spend hls timee arguing ks
A lawyer with his opponent over
every inch of the course, but he 414
mean the desirability of reasonadle
observance of the real principie of (ne
game on the part of its players. This
laxity In regard to the rules is stari
ling, for when one thinks of the mat
ter he realizses that golf without pules .
fs not golf. but something cive. i
Here is an example: The writer

Many of the clubs in the
American and nn’ National jeagues
will be strengthened by the players
they secured from the Federals and
that is one reason for the superior
brand that is certain to prevall. But
the clubs that failed to strengthen
one whit by the death of the cutlaws
will present a snappler article of the
national game. And this is where the
big improvement will be noticed.
