Stanley, British Bantam Champion Seeks the Title Coulort or Williams May Be Signed to Meet the Briton Charles Ledoux, of France, Strenuously Contests the Claims to Championship and Wants to in Weight Interferes in Selecting Title Holders. Team Managers Need Free Rein MM.

I I I I I I I Confident Pilots Get Results tt BY THOS S. 1GGER" STANLEY, the British bantamweight champion, ap- irently is not to retire, the latest news of the foreigner being that he is negotiating for a match for the title with Johnny Coulon or Williams. The latter has a good claim to the title, if Coulon does not soon defend it, though his defeat of Chas. Ledoux is strenuously contested by the Frenchman, who declares that he was deliberately fouled. However that may be, I fail to see right to a title battle.

He was defeated last August bv Ledoux at Dieppe, France, and even should he beat Williams, a feat I believe to be beyond his powers, he cannot claim the title until he has wiped out the memories of the knockout at the giddy French seaport of Dieppe. It is confidently stated that the National Sporting club of London is angling for this contemplated Stanley- Coulon or Stanley-Williams battle. A victory over Stanley would go far to substantiate the right to premier honors and a return contest with Ledoux would follow as a matter of course. In Paris such a clash would draw a hip: house, especially as Ledoux occupies a place in the esteem of the French boxing fans second only to the incomparable Georc.es Carpentier. Too bad that Williams and Johnny Coulon cannot be brought together and settle the American title question first.

If Coulon is not physic- all.v fit for a hard battle of that nd then it is up to Johnny to pass over the crown to the Baltimore lad and permit him to defend it. Very little of late has been heard of the International Boxing union formed some time ago for the better control of boxing contests. At present the only contributors to the union are France, Belgium, Switzerland and the New York commission. Of this bunch the only members worth considering are the French. New York and also the Wisconsin commission.

Its objects are to promulgate a scale of universal weights at which contests are to be decided and to allot the respective titles to the candidates they think most worthy. On paper the scheme is a good one and should be better patronized than it is now, but until the London National Sporting club, Australia and the American states recognizing boxing are members of the Union, their deliberations cannot amount to much. As matters now stand the union holds Willie Ritchie as lightweight champion, though his claim to the honor is no better than that held hv Freddy Welsh. In the bantamweight class, the Union holds Charles Ledoux as the king pin, despite the fact that the Frenchman was defeated by Williams. At its last meeting the Union decidcd that Frank Mantell was deny ANDREWS.

the middleweight title holder: but since then he has been defeated by Jeff Smith and Tat O'Keefe, so it must be presumed that the honor is held jointly by the latter pair. Such stars as Jimmy Clabby, Eddie McGoorty, Jack Dillon, Frank Klaus, Geo. Chip and Leo Houck are not even considered. This question of world's title holders is one that sooner or later will have to be thoroughly sifted out, but it is very doubtful if the International selections will give universal satisfaction. The differences in weight in the countries practicing boxing presents a barrier to any satisfactory settlement and nothing really satisfactory will ever be done until it is settled.

In England the lightweight limit is 135 pounds at 2 in America it is 133 pounds ringside and on the face of ihis botn Welsh and Ritchie claim the mundane title. It is all very well for critics to argue that Ritchie is justly entitled to the honor because he beat Wolgast at 133 pounds, but who was it that first set the weight at that poundage? From the ring records it appears that Jack McAuliffe first set the limit at 133 pounds ringside, but when he fought Jim Carney he altered the weight to 133 pounds eight hours before the contest. After this McAuliffe boxed Billy Myer at 135 pounds ringside and Jimmy Carroll at 137 pounds. Later he fought Myer again when the weight went up to 139 pounds, a jump of six pounds from that at which he fought Harry Gilmore in 1887. Over in England at that time the weight was 138 pounds, at which weight Dick Burge beat Jim Carney.

Subsequently Burge met Lavigne at 138 pounds and lost, the American re- vfrting to the old poundage when he was beaten by Frank Erne. From this point 133 pounds ringside was maintained by the Americans who succeeded each other in the title. The inference, of course, is that when two Americans battle for the title the poundage originated by McAuliffe goes, but the only legitimate international battle took place as far back as 1895 and then the weight was 138 pounds at 2 Whether the new union will ceed in straightening out the muddle remains to be seen, but the great stumbling block to a reasonable settlement is in the conflicting interests here in America, If all states allowed boxing and each state had a commission to govern the game it would help greatly towards forwarding the objects of the union. Representatives of the American interests could then meet the Europeans with full powers act for the whole of America instead of only New York state as at present. It is this fact that prevents the London National Sporting club from joining the union.

BV SAM EW YORK, Dec. Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club, and the McKeever brothers all that Nap Rucker will be exchanged for Marquard and Herzog, of the Giants, and Ebbets also took occasion to say that manager Wilbert Robinson will have to keep hands off when it comes to a case of the disposal of Daubert, Rucker or Wheat. Club owners do not look with pleasure on a manager or any one else but themselves bothering with their assets, and players are in that class. But, nevertheless, while that is right in a way, still it is those managers like McGraw and Mack who are given free rein and absolute authority to release and engage their players who have been the most successful anrl have made the most money for their employers. One big reason why the Cincinnati club has not met with success artistically or financially is that the managers of the Reds have not been given a free swing to handle the team to build it up according to their own ideas.

Interfered With Tinker. It was because of president interference with Joe Tinker in running the team that caused the manager to take a sensational fling at Herrmann last season and it was because Tinker insisted on full power for next year, which was not granted, that Joe was not signed as manager for next ear. It was because president Herrmann did not want to take the burden of release on his own shoulders that the officials of the club were induced to sign the statement giving the reasons of being thrown down. That the Reds will be a second division club next season seems to be a foregone conclusion. After being in baseball for a year or more club owners get the foolish idea that they know how to run their teams as well as if not better than the managers they hire for the job.

Then comes the friction between the magnate and manager and the jig is up as far as the winning power of the team goes. MoiJraw Hen! Manager. John T. Brush, when he engaged McGraw as manager of the Giants, was wise enough to give the latter full power over his players and he never withdrew his manager's absolute control. This was one reason why McGraw has been so remarkably successful.

What McGraw said was law and there was no going behind his orders. There was no appeal, not even to Mr. Brush. President Hempstead has followed the same policy, and the result was that the Giants were again winners of the National league pennant, and CRANE. more money was turned into the coffers of the club than ever before.

If other club owners could be brought to have the same degree of confidence in their managers their chances of success would be urably improved. President Gaffney is following that course with George Stallings, and that will be the cause of the Boston Braves coming further to the front next season. It is difficult for club owners to give up all control of their players and hand it over to a new manager, but that is the only way they can be assured of prosperity. That always goes hand in hand with a winner. Entries Juarez Jockey Club RACES Friday, Dec.

It was the prospective opponent of Thorpe, although is now acting on his own hook, the vaudeville show having disbanded several weeks ago. Since his sudden jump into fame by walloping Nelson, O'Rourke has had plenty of offers from promoters. gave his initial exhibition in El Paso Thursday afternoon, before a big bunch of fans. He will continue work until a couple of days before his scheduled bout with Thorpe, on December 14, at Juarez. The northern battler has been in the fighting game for three years and has had 26 fights.

He is 24 years old and, before becoming a boxer, was a professional baseball player. He is a firm believer in strict training in preparation for a bout. He says that he is an infighter and aggressive from the bell. has and defeated Pierce Matthews, Tommy Dixon. Young Fitzjail, Louis Grover, Battling Burke, Steve Ketchel, with whom he fought a 10 round draw, and Dale Gardner.

Owen Moran refused to meet him at St. Louis. Because of the illness of his mother In Kansas City, Thorpe will not arrive until Sunday morning. Prince Howard wired Wednesday that Thorpe had already trained for 10 days and would need little work for the battle. Candidates for the semi-windup to the lightweight card are being considered by promoter S.

G. Gonzales and matchmaker Benitez. Several weeks ago an effort was made to match Bart Gordon w'ith John Patrick, the upstate middleweight, but the movement failed. It seems hardly likely, however, that either of these middleweights would go on for the inducements offered. The highest amount which the promoters will give for the semi-final is $60, split 40 and 20.

Vic Hanson wants a return match with Jack Herrick, over either the 25 or 45 round route. Hanson telegraphed promoter Gonzales Wednesday that ho wanted to go on again. Gonzales announced that if Hanson would pay his own transportation he would match him with Herrick. (Van Dusen), 10, second: Mawr. 106 (Woods), 10, :23.

WILLARD DEFEATS MORRIS IN DISAPPOINTING BOUT New York, Dee. a 10 round bout at Madison Square Garden, Jess Willard defeated Carl Morris, of Oklahoma. Willard had the better of eight of the 10 rounds, one was fairly even, and the other, the third, went to Morris Willard weighed 235 3-4 pounds, Morris 234 1-4.

The bout was disappointing as both men were slow and there was a good deal of wrestling and hugging with very few clean blows. Coast Fans Would Keep Clabby I I I Bout With Dillion Is Hoped For Remember! their that ack AN FRANCISCO boxing fans are making an effort to keep Jimmy Clabby, the Indiana wonder, in midst. It is believed by experts a contest between Clabby and Dillon would definitely' decide a middleweight champion. Dillon and Clabby in a ring together would without doubt put up one of the hardest bouts ever seen, and there is hardly any promoter in the country that jump to secure the fight. Bill Sweeny, captain of the Boston Braves, is the latest candidate for the position of manager of the Cincinnati Reds according to reports from the east.

Sweeney has been prominently mentioned to succeed Joe Tinker. James F. Gaffney, president of the Braves, told Sweeney that would bring a mingled sense of reluctance and pleasure to him if he were appointed manager. Milwaukee promoters have signed prize matches to be held during December. On Dec.

8 Jack Britton and Packy McFarland will clash. Jimmy Clabby will endeavor to strengthen his claim to the middleweight title by polishing off George Chip, conqueror of Frank Klaus, Dec. 29. Investigation has revealed that the injured ribs of Ad Wolgast have mended and the Cadillac citizen announces that he is ready to step in the ring again. Wolgast wants to meet Charlie hite, and has wired promoter Frank Mulkein, of the Milwaukee A.

C. that he will accept another date and meet any fighter on Dec. 18. Willie Ritchie has added considerably to his reportoire since he boxed Ad Wolgast in San Francisco last according to training camp exhibitions. Ritchie seems to have developed more steam into his punches.

He has a good left rip to the body, and is cultivating a right uppercut, and is unquestionably an improved boy. That the Federal league officials have decided to cancel the Chicago franchise and take Milwaukee into the circuit, is a rumor which is mak- ing the rounds of baseball circles in the east. Thinking it would be a waste of good money to compete for patronage with the Cubs and White Sox, James Gilmore, who backed the Chicago last season, is reported to have withdrawn his franchise. Tommy Ryan, ex-middle and welterweight champion of the world, believes that George Lavigne was the greatest lightweight that ever stepped into the ring. In a recent statement Ryan declared that records will show where Lavigne whipped Joe Walcott twice and that Eddie Graney erred badly when he failed to mention Lavigne in his list of past champions.

Bud Anderson and Frank Barrieau have entered training for their scheduled 20-round contest at Vernon, Dec. 10. Anderson says that as soon as he gets through whipping Barrieau, if Packey McFarland will make a reasonable weight he will be glad of a chance at him. th boxers are confident of the outcome of the contest. Larry Gilbert.

Pete Compton and Zwilling, crack trio of outfielders of the Boston Braves, are all graduates of the Battle Creek. club. Gilbert was secured from Milwaukee, Compton and Zwilling from Kansas City, of the American Association. This is probably the first occurrence of its kind in the history of major league baseball.
