Brooklyn at St. New York at Pittsburg-. Philadelphia at Chicago. Facts and fancies For ans 1LWAUKKE, is July is rather peculiar incident that three champions should be in action on the fourtli of and not one of them win the verdict on clean work. Jack Johnson was awarded the verdict when the police interfered; there is still a dispute about 'Wolgast beating Kivers at Los Angeles and Johnny Kilbane, Uie featherweight champion, got a newspaper decision Cleveland over Tommy Dixon.

It was a bad uay for the champions, sure enough. Art battle with Joe Hirers was the most terrific of all of them and it is unfortunate that a misunderstanding should arise. It is claimed that the moving pctures show tiiat no ifoul was committed and that Kivers really took count. One tling is elch, the San Francisco referee, has a reputation that cannot be beaten for honesty and few will ever believe that lie acted a.n>- thing but honorable in giving his decision as he saw it. Many fighters have come to me in Milwaukee and no matter who they were they always had the highest regard for Jack Welch; in fact, they have related many instances where Welch has put himself in bad with promoters and others simply because lie would not be otherwise tha.n strictly on the square, and as a rule boxers have a pretty good idea of the merits of men in the game.

It was no doubt just as referee Welch said after the contest: was no foul blow' struck during the battle. The blows which sent to the floor in the 13th were body blows above the belt. When he went to the floor I started to count over him and got to three when Wolgast stumbled over him, but how he came to fall I do not know. 1 pulled him out of the way, and when I got through counting he was standing up. The bell signaling the end of the round did not ring for several seconds after 1 counted Rivers out.

Several people rushed to the ring after the fight and asked me to call bets off. 1 replied that 1 was refereeing the contest and had nothing to do with And that is just the kind of man Jack W'elch is. He would not give a rap for all the betting men in the business when it came to rendering a decision. Los Angeles is a long ways off, but it is a good bet that when Beanie Walker and the rest of the boys get to thinking it over thev will give Welch credit for an honest verdict. In the meantime the talk about another meeting between the boys increases and Tom McCarey or the promoters have another great contest in sight, one that will prove of more interest than the one on July 4, for now the fans will look for a lonar and hard battle between the two rivals for lightweight honors.

The wonderful work of Georges Carpentier, the French middleweight, which have come to us the past, few months from Paris and London, was given a severe setback by his defeat at the hands of Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg. There are stories about now some French gamblers tried to get the American to lay down to the Frenchman, but it may have been simply a ruse to draw out Klaus and -his manager. A well known follower of the game in London writes me regarding the contest as follows: have had several opportunities of collecting opinions of British sport writers, who were present at the Dieppe boxing carnival, and though opinions differ considerably as to the merits of Klaus and Carpentier, all are agreed on one point; that France is no place for an international battle of such importance. French referees have been very freely criticized by British boxers for a long time now, but the officials, who had charge of the ring at Dieppe last week, appear to have beaten all records for incompetence. French boxing fan is also far YANKS TR YING OUT SIX COLLEGE STARS New York, N.

July college players are being signed by big league clubs season than perhaps ever before in the history of the game. There is hardly a club in either league that has not picked up one or more rah rah boys. Connie Mack has long had a fondness for the collegians and developed a number of them into the foremost stars of the game, but the astute leader of the champions is likely to be outdone by manager Wolverton in this respect. The Yankee leader players fresh from learning under his has six promising institutions of wing at present, all signed within recent date. Of the At game.

He is a fast young fielder, who may develop into a star with a few experience in the minors. Jacob Little, tile tall lanky outfielder, is a Texan. Scout Tom discovered him at Baylor university, Waco, a few months ago and was so well impressed with his ability that he advised Owen Farrell to sign him.

also picked up Boyd, who has been farmed out to the Lawrence club in the New England league. Boyd, too, hails from a western university, but appears too young and inexperienced to warrant a place in the lineup now. O'Hara Gives a lleanon. Scout gives the scarcity of embryo stars in the minor league ranks as a reason that so many collegians are now being signed. are few players in the minor league at present, worthy of a trial in fast company, that are not already under contract to some big league says the scout, who has just returned from a gum shoe trip through the south and west, we naturally have to look to other fields.

average college ball player today is also far superior to the diamond star turned out by the universities years ago. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the college boys are now accorded greater privileges in playing the game. The faculties are i no longer so stringent in prohibiting 1 them from playing summer ball and believe this is the chief reason why they have improved so greatly. the universities are pro- ducing a greater number of stars each i year, and the demand for them, too, is greater. Years ago it was considered a great honor for a college boy to get an offer from a big league club; nowadays every star in the college ranks has so many offers he is usually in a quandary which to ''(AS USUAL I IAN0TH6R CLEVER.

BOOBS too excitable a person at present and at Uie Klaus-Carpentier battle, he appears to have completely lost his mental balance. Ladies, who formed a large section of the crowd, were equally to blame in the disgraceful scenes which followed the different bouts. is apparently to have no rest, for his excitable manager has matched him with Billy Papke and is dickering for another bout with Klaus.

As if this program was not enough for one lad to go on with, the Frenchman is likely to be fixecl up with the Australian. Dave Smith. The latter was present at Dieppe, and on his return to London expressed his opinion that French refereeing methods would not be tolerated in Australia, and though he is anxious to meet Carpentier he will not consent to a contest on French soil. One result of the fiasco will be the absence of British boxers of merit from battles in Paris, unless something can be done to import capable referees. There was some talk about French gamblers trying to get to Klaus and his manager, Engle, to turn a trick, but 1 think it was merely talk and nothing A1 Kaufman, the heavyweight of the Pacific coast, who at one time was considered a serious contender for the crown worn by Jack Johnson, writes that he has been quite ill with malaria for some time, but is improving now and hopes to soon get into shape again.

Since the above was written, a few days ago, the announcement comes that A1 is matched to meet Charlie Miller again July 31. Kaufman, in his letter, says: was the malaria and general weakness that helped Jim Flynn defeat me at Kansas City, but I may get him yet and turn the tables. I intend to start by easy stages and box six months, after which 1 may go to Australia, for Hugh McIntosh has made me an offer and I would like to go over to that country, where there are so many heavyweights at The South African champion. Fred Storbeck, who gave Gunner Moir a hard battle in London, and fought several hard contests there with the best lieavies, did not last long in his bout wiht Jim Stewart at New the other night. Stewart has been one of the rough and ready sort, but nothing more than a second rate to the scribes there, but he had the men from South Africa in such a bad condition in the sixth round that his seconds tossed in the towel.

This disposes of one more hope, for he had been touted highly by some of the Yankees over in London who had seen him work. Philadelphia Jack O'Brien seems to have developed a real classy light- wieght in his younger as Young Jack The youngster has had some severe tryouts against such clever boys as Young Erne, Tommy Ad Wolgast and Young Brown, of New York. He gave a splendid exhibition of science against Wolgast and had an even break with him at the end of six rounds. In his battle with Young Brown in New York he had all the best of the going, winning the naws- paper decision in all the papers. Brown is considered a tough lightweight and one who is after Wolgast, so it makes Young Jack look all the better.

Old Jack lias been a good teacher and the chances are that he will nurse him along properly, for he knows the benefits to be derived from good match making. It will not be surprising to hear of Young Jack being matched with Wolgast over the long route for the title within another year, unless should drop the title in the meantime. Jack will begin to take on weight in another couple of years, being only 19 now, and he will develop into a welter and no doubt a middleweight later on.

His the bat, but ing him at appears as anywhere. He is a fast, graceful fielder and an excellent batter, not of the slugger type, but one who hits timely. There have been few' days since the Tiger star broke into the lineup that he failed to get in one or two safe hits.

His work during the Washington series in which he covered first, was very commendable, and the Capi- I tal city critics were loud in their I praise for him. Davis Report. Pitcher Davis, the recent graduate i of Williams college, whore lie made an enviable record on the diamond, has not yet reported to Wolverton, although he is signed up. He was to have joined the team last week. Unless he can overcome parental objections, though, the Yankees are likely to lose him.

It was against the wishes of his elders that Davis agreed to enter the professional game, and at present he is trying to gain their consent. Those who watched his career on the college field predict a bright future for him in the majors. It is generally conceded that he is the best in college ranks in this section of the covin try. Pavil Otis, the youngster covering centerfield for the Hillmen at present, was one of teammates at Williams. He was signed for a trial on the recommendation of Charlie Bitr- rett, the trainer, who looked af- BASEBALL RESULTS AND CLUB STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE.

For Ted is going to enter the Pennsylvania U. after his victory abroad. The race not only pro- i duced a dark horse in Meredith, proved that Melvin Shephard, who same second, has not lost any of his fleetness, for he improved upon his time at the London Olympiad in 190S, when he made the mark which for the past four years has stood as the world's record.

It also proved Meredith to be one of the greatest middle distance runners of all time. This boy has a great future in store for him. It is worthy of note that Strobino, the man who gave the United States her only point in the Marathon race, is another of the athletes who were not considered worthy of a place on the regular team, but whose friends raised subscriptions to pay his expenses. Two events in the boxing world are marked down this week Thursday: Carl Morris against Comiskey, 10 rounds, at Sapulpa, Jim Driscoll. England's great featherweight boxing champion, will begin a tour of the world with his visit to this country.

The percentage tables show that there are now 23 men in the American league and 29 in the National league batting .300 or better. The Athletics ginbotham and Fisher; Vernon, Carson, Raleigh, Gray and Agnew. At Los R. H. E.

Jack Johnson, on his way from his daily trip to court in Chicago, gave out the information that the ban which the New Y'ork boxing commission had placed on him was about to be raised. In proof. Jack showed a letter from Billy Gibson, manager oC the Madison Square garden. Five bouts are promised Johnson if the ban is lifted.

First he must agree to meet Langford and Jeannette. Then he will have matches with Palzer, Burns and Flynn. All are to go 10 rounds, and Johnson is to get $15,000 for eack match. A public reception under charge of the city officials will be given Ralph Craig, the Detroit boy who won both the 100 and the 200 meter races at the Olympic games. As soon as the date of his arrival in Detroit becomes known the city council will take the necessary steps to make an appropriation for the reception and parade.

All public officials, governor Osborne and the faculty of the university of Michigan, where Craig is a student, will attend.

Until Ad Wolgast bumped Moran over the rail one year ago last Thursday afternoon at San Francisco, it was thought that Moran would be the next lightweight champ.

On looking- into his career after this fight, it was found that the little Englishman had been leading a fast and loose life, and for that reason had no stamina. He did not better his condition after the fight, but went right on with the white light thing, despite all his manager, Jimmy Johnson, could do. Columbus, N. M. Editor El Paso Herald: To settle a dispute will you kindly decide the question: A bet $50 $10 that Johnson would knock Flynn out in 10 rounds.

Who wins? George A. Kyes. Technically wins. But as a fair sporting proposition bets could be called off as Johnson had no chance to knock out Flynn in the 10th round since the fight was stopped before that round. Technically if the fight had been called off and never been held, still would have won, since Johnson did not knock out Flynn in the 10th round, strictly the proposition on which the wager was made.

However, such a wager is poorly made, as there should always be a clear understanding in the event of neither knockout, decision or draw. Sporting Editor. Additional Sport on Next Page. SY.
