(BY THOS. S. ANDBEWS)
Milwaukee. Wis.. June 21. Sam
I-ang-ford is left out of the controver-
s for the time being as the Boston tar
baby is detained over in Australia for
a Tew months pending the settlement
of some lawsuit -vrhlch Samuel has got
into. Then was a rumor that Sam
had parted company with his manager
Joe Woodman but I doubt this very
much as it was Woodman who kept the
n eg. wonder goin' when he could
not have secured matches without Joe'3
guiding hand and as Langford is a
.rettv wise fellow it is reasonable to
lresume that he will not throw down
he man who has proved his lone ace
on so manv occasions. Of course Joe
Jeannette and Sam McVev are to be
considered legitimate challengers for
Mr. Johnson's crown but among the
white men Wells seems to have the
calL Luther McCarthy will have to
show before he can be counted among
the eliglbles. but with a clever handler
like Billy McCarney he may prove the
surprise of the entire lot. It would not
be a bad idea on the part of Wells
manager to invite all the hopes to Xew
York and send the Bombardier after
them one at a time each week until
lie t leans up the bunch or finds out
himself that he is not a world beater.

The Australians have at last taken
up the question of weights for boxers
and the leading authorities in that
country are anxious to bring about or
help bring about a much needed re-
form in the boxing game. A well known
sporting man of Sydney has written
mc concerning the matter saying.
"There has been much discussion on tne
question of weights recently and a
large body of opinion is leaning to-v.-ards
the adoption of English weights
as a standard. The following letter
from a well known sportsman in the
'Referee (the leading sporting paper
in Australia) Is typical of widely held
views: .
"If the English weights were adopt-
ed in Australia it would be a step in
the right direction as France has al-
ready adopted the English set and
with the -aid of some of the press boys
in America it would not be such a
formidable task. Some of the sporting
papers in England have been itching
for international weights and would
be only too ready to lend a helping
hand to you. In America there is not t
any control ai an as -.ijue - - -- i
istlng weight limits have been brought j
about to suit boxers of a bygone day
and they like Australia have a smaller

they are. For instance we have a mar-
gin of 14 pounds between bantam and
feather and only nine pounds between
a bigger class of men the light and
welter; whereas in England all the
weights have been adjusted on the sys-
tem of the margin widening as the men
get bigger. As for conservatives we
are that We are the only boxing com-
munity that have' not rearranged
weights. It is high time that some
regular international weights were de-
termined and then we should have no
more eccentric claims for 'logical' or
'irtual' championships such as came
from Hay Bronson in the welter class
in the U. S. A."

Pecos. Texas June 21. A baseball
sensation resulted in the final game of
the -three game series between Midland
and Pecos " for' the championship of
wesi. Texas ..At.. the beginning 6f the
eighth inning the Midland manager
quit the game; 'aW Pecos now claims
the championship.
The scene at the local ball park was
dramatic The 'game was not begun
until 6:15. Pecos had sent for pitcher
Taylor from Ft. Stockton. The auto In
which the player was riding broke
down and a fast car was sent out from
here to meet him. The crowd waited
scanning the horizon for the approach-
ing car. At last the- mighty Taylor ar-
rived and In the third inning they
made three runs off him. The crowd
was disgusted.
At the end of the seventh the score
stood 7 and 5. Two men were down a
man was on first and the Midland bat-
ter had two strikes. The third strike
was called' and the Midland manager
denouncing the umpire called his play-ers-from
the field. This place was ball
mad after the contest.
They Plan To Stage A Battle
Between Kilbane and Dundee
By Ed Curley
NEW YORK X. Y.. June 21. If
Johnny Kilbane will agree to
the terms of the Springfield
Athletic club of Springfield Ohio a
match "between the featherweight
champion and Johnny Dundee the
Gotham star will be arranged immedi-
ately. The western club has written to
"Scotty" Montelth. Dundee's- manager
offering him the match. The latter is
willing to accept. Monteith is also ea-
ger to wager ?1000 that Dundee sets
the verdict.
The contemplated battle will be 28
rounds with a referee's decision which
means -that the world's title will be at
stake. .
Everything is now up to Kilbane.
If he can make satisfactory terms
with the club the championship bat-
tle will be held on Labor day. Dun-
dee was to battle Kilbane 10 round3
at the St. Nicholas rink but as tho
champion could not come to terms the
management substituted Young Wag-
ner. Cleveland promoters were trying to
arrange a match between Dundee and
the champion to take place at the ball
park on July 4. but-Kllbane's engage-
ments prevented him from accepting.
The coast promoters are angling for
the Kilbane-Dundee match and if they
start bidding it is more than likely
they will offer the boys more than the
Springfield club would hang up.
Whether the Ohio club gets the match
depends solely on Kilbane.
Packey McFarland is now in town
looking over the situation. Packey
has so much dough packed away that
it matters not whether he boxes dar-
ing the summer months. His princi-
pal worry is whether to take a trip to
the Olympic games or spend a. few
weeks at Atlantic City.
Terrible worries for one to have on
his mind.
Charley Harvey secretary of the
State Athletic commission is vexed.
You'd imagine that everybody knew
Harvey. Well everybody doesn't. This
is Charley's plaint:
'The other day the telephone rang
and when I answered the voice at the
end of the wire said it was the clerk
of special sessions.
" "Well what do you want? I in-
quired. "'We want John Mack secretary of
the Athletic commission to come over
here at once to plead.
" 'What for? I demanded.
'"For grand larceny' was wafted to
my ears.
'T hung up and let that boob do a
little worrying. John Hack secretary
of the Athletic commission! Huh!"
Regarding Sam Fitzpatrick's allus-
ions to Gunboat Smith being a sucker.
Jim Buckley wants to know where
Samuel gets that dope.
"If Fitzpatrick thinks his heavy-
weight McGann is such a shining star."
writes Buckley "and if Sam has a lit-
tle money then Smith will battle Mc-
Gann and show the public which is the
sucker."
Buckley's offer is more than fair and
it's up to Fitzpatrick to show some
' speed.
w m
Jack Britton desires to know why
Leaches Cross Tommy Murphy Pal
Moore and the other members of the
lightweight division wear false whis-
kers when his name Is mentioned.
"I'm willing to fight anybody in my
class" walls Britton. "but they all lose
speech when I ask for a battle. What
are they hot house boxers?"
That will hurt. .- 'J

pany "D" and let the "B" company ball
tossers down with only three hits. The
