July 18. It is rather a peculiar incident thatthree champions should be action on the fourth of July and not one of them win the verdict on ckan work. Jaci Johnson -vvas awarded the verdict when the police Interfered, there is still a dispute about Wolgast beating Hi vers at Los Angeles and Johnny Kilbane. the featherweight champion, got a newspaper decision a Cleveland over Tommy Dixon. 1..

was a bad day for the champions, sure enough Ad Wolgasfs battle with Rivers was the most terrific of all of ticm and it is unfortunate that a misunderstanding should arise. It is claimed that the moving pctures show tnat no ifofil was committed and that Rivers really took the count. One tlrng is certain Jack Welch, -the oan 1 rancisco referee, has a reputation that cannot lie beaten' for honesty and few will ever believe that he acted anything but honorable in giving his decision as he saw it Many fighters hae come to me in Milwaukee and no matter who they were they always had the highest regard for Jack elch; in fact, they have related many instances where Welch has put himself in baa with promoters and others simply because be would not be otherwise than sfictly 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: "There was no foul blow struck during the battle. The blows which sent Joe 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 oame to fall I do not knnw. nulled him out of the way. and when I got through counting he v.as standing up. The bell signaling the end of the round did not ring for several seconds after I counted Rivers out Several people rushed to the ring after the fight and asked me to call bets oft. I replied that I was refereeing the contest and had nothing to do with betting." And that is just the kind of man Jack Welch 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 oer they will give Welch -credit for an honest verdict. In the meantime the talk about another meeting be tween the boys increases and Tom -uc-Oarey or the "Frisco 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 long and hard battle between the two rivals for lightweight honors. The wonderful work of Oeorges Car-pentier, 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 tne hands of Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg. There are stories about now seme 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: "I 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. "The French boxing fan Is also far' too excitable a person at present and at the Klaus-Carpentler battle, he appears to have completely lost his mc--tal balance. Ladles, who formed a section of the crowd, were equal ly to blame in the disgraceful scenes which followed the different bouts. "Carpentier 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 fixel 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 alout French gamblers trying to get to Klaus and his manager. Knglc, to turn a trick, but I think it was merely talk and nothing serious." Al Kaufman, the heavyweight of the Paolfic 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 Al is matcheC to meet Charlie Miller again July 3L Kaufman, in his letter, says: "It was the malaria and general weakness that helped Jim Flpnn defeat me at Kansas City, but I may get him yet and turn the tables. I intend to start aain by easy stages and box six months, after which I 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 present."

Fred Storbeck, who gave Gunner Molr a hard battle in London, and fought'Sev-eral hard contests tDere with the best heavies, did not last long In his bout wlht Jim Stewart at New York 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-Ti'jeght tJUs, younger brother John Hagen known as Young Jack O'Brien. The youngster has had some severe tryouts against such clever boys as Young Erne, Tommy O'Toole. Ad AVol-gast 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 has been a good teacher and the chances are that he will nurse fclm 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 Ad 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. lot Thompson and Sterrett appear to be the best, although neither Boyd nor Davis has had a trial in fast company. Thompson, who hails from the university of Georgia, pitched a few games ror tne Yanks and looks as it he may develop Into a star with time. Sterrett. the Princeton youth, has had more of a chance to show his ability, having played in a number of games.

His regular position is behind the bat, but Wolverton has been play ing him at first and second and tie appears as much at home there 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 Capital city critics were loud In their praise for him. Darin May Xot Report.

Pitcher Davis, the recent graduate of AVilliams college, where he made an enviable record on the diamond, has not yet reported to Wolverton, although he is signed up. He Iras 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 country. Paul Otis, the youngster covering centerfleld for the Hillmen at present, was one of Davis's teammates at Williams, lie was signed for a trial ter the physical welfare of the collegians there. He Is a fast young fielder, who may develop Into a star with a few years' experience in the minors. Jacob Little, tHe tall lanky outfielder, is a Texan. Scout Tom O'Hara discovered him at Baylor university.

Wa co, a few months ago ana was so wen Impressed with his ability that he advised Owen Farrell to sign him. O'Hara 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 tne lineup now. O'Hara RlveH a Rcnxon. Scout O'Hara gives the scarcity of embryo stars in the minor league ranks as a reason that so many collegians are now being signed.

"There 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 club," says the scout, who has just returned from a gum shoe trip through the south and west, "so we naturally have to look to other fields. "The 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 no longer so stringent in prohibiting them from playing summer ball and I believe this is the chief reason why they have improved so greatly. "Certainly the universities are producing a greater number of stars each 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 XATIOXAT, LEAGUE. Games Friday. Boston at Cincinnati. Brooklyn at St. Louis.

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. X. Editor El Paso Herald: To settle a dispute will you kindly decide the follcrtrjpp question: A bet 560 to $10 that Johnson would knock Klynn out in 18 rounds.

Who wins? George A. Kyes. Technically wins. But as a fair sporting proposition bets could be called off as Johnson bad 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 he a clear understanding in the event of neither knockout, decision or draw. Sporting Editor. 1 Additional Sport on Next Page.
