Johnson May Fight Wells Instead of Palzer
Bont Between the Same Two Fighters Came Near Putting Quietus on Boxing in
England Two Years Ago Knockout Brown May Get Chance at Ritchie.
By T. S. ANDREWS.
WliL Jack Johnson and Bom bar-
dlet Wells the British heavy-
weight champion be permit-
ted to fight for the title In Paris or
any place In France after the manner
in which the proposed contest was
stopped in London a little less than
two years ago? It was the proposed
contest between Wells and Johnson
that stirred up such a sensation in
merry old England and came near put-
ting a quietus on the sport in a coun-
try that bad for hundreds of years
supported it. It "was announced re-
cently that Al Palzer the white hope
who was defeated by Luther XcCarty
in such a decisive manner had been
rnatcned with the negro In Paris for
some time in June but reports state
i hat Wells is to be the man to go
against Johnson. Just what the French
i.iomoters will do is hard to tell but
the chances are that they have things
arranged satisfactorily or they would
rot take a chance on dropping a bank
i"ll on an uncertainty.
The original plan was to have a big
heavyweight tournament in Paris and
then have the big fight as a grand
3 male on -the eve of the Grand Prix
June 29. It was arranged to have
t Gorges Carpentler. who has ad-
anced into the light heavyweight
ass. and Marcel Moreau another
!:gbt heavy meet for the title in that
lass on March 4; Billy Papke and
Tra.nk Klaus both Americans are to
1 'ox 20 rounds for the world's middle-
weight title (which by the way is
T.possible as the weight Is not right
end neither one holds the American
hampionbhip) and then in April it
was planned to have the winners of
inpse two battles meet for the privilege
of meeting Bombardier Wells for the
white heavyweight championship of
the world (whieh is again wrong as
none of them has any right to the
title in the heavyweight class except

Great Wort Accom-

They find themselves drawn

settled the promoters Intended to have
the big noise the night before the big
French race which would be all right
under certain conditions but there may
be a slipping of the cogs somewhere
before the time for the big bout comes
around.
Johnson may have trouble In getting
over to the gay city and then again
Wells may hold out for such a big
sum that It might take the breath
away from the promoters in Paris. The
fight which would really get the money
for the promoters 'is a Wells-Mccarty
clash. That would be a real white
championship affair and It would at-
tract more attention than any match
that could be made at the present time.
It would be a wonderful card In either
London Paris San Francisco or Los
Angeles.
For a real champion Willie Rltohie.
head of the 133-pctanders. has been
about the quietest thing In the fistic
world the past few months or. in fact
since he annexed the title from Ad
Wolgast last fall. The new champion
has been doing the vaudeville circuit
to- the queen's taste and gathering all
the loose coin lying around but he
has "been careful not to arrange any
title match before July i next at
which time he says he will be i?eady
to meet any 133-pounder In the world.
Who his opponent will be has not yet
been decided on; in fact the Pacific
coast promoters are watching the vari-
ous lightweight aspirants with a view
of selecting the best for the big
match.
"Knockout" Brown the Xew York
boy whom Dan Morgan has forced to
the front. Is back in form and may
get a chance. Brown showed in his
fight with Frankie Russell at New
Orleans the other night that he can
travel the route at a fast clip and he
cumulated alcoholic poison In the
system. These drinkers cannot
stop without the right sort of
medical help.
The poison in them can not be
expelled by nature. More liquor
only temporarily relieves the
craving. The Neal Treatment
which is administered at The
Neal Institute eliminates the
poison and neutralizes its effect
upon the system. Once expelled
love and craving for liquor is
also gone.
The Neal Treatment is a
harmless vegetable remedy
taken internally and adminis-
tered by regular physicians
without hypodermic injections.

forts of home. Names are never

feels now that he can win his way to
a match with Ritchie. Jack Britton
has been hot after Ritchie ever since
he won the title and has made offers
to the coast boy which Billy Nolan
manager of Ritchie cannot well afford
to ignore.
Tommy Murphy has come back in
splendid shape and despite the fact
that he has been fighting for the past
10 years he appears in better condi-
tion now for a championship fight
than ever before lommy is matched
with Joe Mandot the i New Orleans
hope at San Franrtsco February 25
and it surely will be an elimination
bout for one of them. Mandot is taking
a big chance for should he lose to
Murphy he will have little chance of
getting a return match with Joe Riv-
ers his greatest rival for lightweight
honors. Rivers and Mandot are even
as to wins each having defeated the
other but Murphy would put the
southern boy out of the running should
he beat him. Therefore the contest
Febrary 22d will be important to both
Tommy and Joe.
Packey McFarland Is eliminated as
far as Ritchie Is concerned for the
latter has notified the Chicago pride
that he will not be given a match ex-
cept at the regular limit 133 ring-
side and that is a weight Packey can-
not possibly do. Jack Britton how-
ever can make the weight and has a
right to a chance at the title. So has
Jreddy Welsh and Hughie Mehegan.
especially the former who defeated
the Australian over the 20-round route.
Welsh has made up his mind to sail
for this country to try and get a crack
at the title but was advised that
Ritchie would not fight until next July
and as a result he has deferred his
coming. Should Ritchie decide to
meet one of the Americans first it
will put off the international match
until next fall or even later.
Freddv Welsh the British liirht-
welght champion and who has put in
a claim for the world's title is one of
the most gentlemanly boys In the
fighting business and one of the
brightest but even the stars are liable
to err at times. When Freddy fought
Hughie Mehegan. the Australian cham-
pion for the title of Great Britain he
claimed it was for the world's cham-
pionship basing his claim on the fact
that he had defeated Willie Ritchie in
Los Angeles before the latter had
beaten Wolgast for the crown and
then following with the defeat of Matt
Welle then British champion and also
Hughie Mehegan the Australian title
holder.
Freddy also told how he had once I
knocked out Ad Wolgast in Milwau- j
kee during a training bout but that j
is the point I must differ with him on. :
In his explanation of the tilt with
Wolgast in Milwaukee Freddy says:
"I had been traininsr for two matches.
against Maurice Sayers and Charlie
Neary at Larkin's gymnasium when
one day after a strenuous workout a
cocky youth who seemed full of Im-
portance entered the place and after a
minute or so came over to me and said
very familiarly "Hello Welsh how are
you T 'Fine I responded not know-
ing his name.
"He followed this up by saying he
would give me a couple of rounds and
I told him I didn't care to box that
day giving my reasons. He said how-
ever he would make a light friendly
go and to oblige him I put on the
gloves. We were to have three rounds.
Well for the first minute we boxed
neatly with open gloves and I having
no reason for being suspicious was
taking matters easy urr my guard
he suadenly swung a haymaker at me
with his right I had just time to
step back and it grazed my i&w. but
It revealed to me an attempt to knock
me out. I said nothing but went right
in and for the balance of the round
it was a real fight. The next round I
went after him and I did pay him for
his betrayal of confidence sending my
right to his chin with such force that
he was dropped like a log. Then Frank
Mulkern. his manager came along and
apologized for the act. saying the kid j
was too Impetuous. That was why I
always felt confident I could beat ?
Wolgast."
It is true that Welsh and Wolgast
did have a setto at Larkins as stated
by Freddy but there was no knockout.
It seems that some of the boys around
the place wanted Ad to try out Welsh
and the kid went in for all he was
worth and for a time It was a real
fight but Freddy did not knock out
the Michigan wildcat It would sound
nice to have the scrap end that way.
no doubt but the fact remains that
both were on their feet when the im-
promptu bout ended and it Is too bad
that Wolgast should have been taken
wn with appendicitis In Los Angeles
when the two were finally matched to

ELKS GET MARGIN ON
THE TOWNCLOCKERS
Points Arc Divided Tying the Match
for the Percentage Column Swifts
Howl Games for Averages.
Winning the first game with a large
margin saved the Elks team from al-
most certain defeat Monday night at
the Cactus alleys -when they walloped
the Courthouse bunch by a margin of
185 pins. From the percentage col-
umn standpoint 'the match was a tie
the Courthouse rollers taking both
second and third games but were
beaten on the number of pins upset by
the heavy rolling of the Elks in the
first game. Hill came back and rolled
an excellent game In the first period
and bowled high total for the match
with a run of 612. This is out of the
ordinary for the Elk3 team as a bowl-
er on that quintet rarely exceeds the
600 mark. The Townclockers fell down
on the Job and rolled weak totals in
the first and second games where the
Elk advantage was scored. Sukerman
was the only man In the Courthouse
lineup to roll over the 200 mark for
high game. Bill Foster and Grandover
followed their form of a week ago and
rolled weak totals. Strikeouts were
credited to Sukerman and Watson.
None of the Elks' rollers were cred-
ited with these honors. Bert Graham
rolled a consistent game and was a
big factor in the Elks victory.
The .Swift team In the Industrial
league had an open night and rolled a
game for the purpose of having their
averages counted in the nail and bag
contest Paschal rolled high game a
total with a run of 501. The following
scores were made:

Matched "With Wltrwani Rollers.
The ax wielded by manager Art
Woods of the Cactus club has fallen
again and chopped off the 42 rollers
who were in the contest last week
down to 25. Nearly very team of the
Cactus league is represented and three
rollers from the Industrial were able
to make the required total for the third
week. The third week of the bag and
ball contest started Monday night with
the Klks-Courthouse game and taking
the match as an example several of the
rollers on these teams will go down.
Following are the rollers who are
flualified for the second week:

.A match between the selected Cactus
bowling team and a team from the
new Wigwam alleys has been arranged
by managers Art Wood and Stafford
Campbell. The match will take place
on Tuesday night and the regular
match scheduled In the Cactus league
will be postponed until Thursday
when both the Smelter and the Cactus
rollers will start the match at 7:30
sharp so the women rollers can bowl
on the alleys. Thursday night the new
tournament of the Smelter league will
open with a six club circuit one match
to be rolled on Thursday and two on
Friday nights weekly.

slight advantage of 13 pounds in
weight but with a superiority of the

Johnson of Pueblo played all around
Prankie White of Chicago before a
crowd which packed the Pueblo Athletic
club to suffocation last night and
finally won the match which was to
all intents and purposes a knockout in
the 10th round. Toward the end 'of the
round Johnson had White going and
knocked through the ropes. White
staggered back and went at his oppon-
ent with open arms. Johnson merely
placed a few taps on White's face and

CHAMPION THORPE
IS NOT AN AMATEUR
Indian Admits He Played Ball for
Money Loi.es AH Awards of
Olympic Games.
New York Jan. 28. James Thorpe
the Indian athlete and Olympic cham-
pion admitted that the charges of pro-
fessionalism brought against him were
true and formally retired from ama-
teur athletics. Thorpe's confession
was contained In a letter to the regis-
tration committee of the Amateur Ath-
lotlc union which met to investigate
his charges. The letter admitted that
Thorpe had played baseball for a sal-
ary on a professional team three years
ago while a student of the Carlisle
Indian school but said that on the
same team there were several northern
college men who were regarded as
amateurs and Thorpe did not realize
his participation was wrong. Thorpe
added that he did not play for the
money he earned but for the love of
the game.
All the prizes and the honors which
Thorpe has gained since 1909 the date
from which his standing as a profes-
sional ' begins must' be transferred
through the officials of the A. A. U.
to the men who finished second to the
Indian in every event This will mean
that the trophies and points won in
the Pentathlon and Decathlon must be
given respectively to F. R. Bio Nor-
way and H. Wieslander Sweden and
that J. J. Donahue United States and
G. Lomberg Sweden will take second
places.
John Bredemus of Princeton fin-
ished second to Thorpe in the (Ameri-
can all-around championship and
Bruno Brodd of the Irish-American A.
C third and therefore must be ac-
corded the honors. In this champion-
ship Thorpe made a total score of
7476 points and broke the former rec-
ord of Martin Sheridan by 91 points.
The loss of the six points scored
by Thorpe in the Olympic games still
leaves the United States winner by a

Dodgers To Hear Southern Melodies
Brooklyn Nationals Only Have One Yankee on the Team All the Others Hailing
From the Southern League Gossip About Big League Players.
By DAMON KUNYON.
NEW YORK N. Y. Jan. 28.
Charles Harmony Ebbets some-
times referred to as the Squire
of Flatbush has been whlllng away
the long hot days of the winter learn-
ing to play a lot of dear old southern
melodies on his favorite musical
weapon the xylophone. Mr. Ebbets Is
now simply grand in his execution of
that one about "scra-ham-budl eh-
hegg in the new mo-hown hav" and
can also tear off pieces of that sole-
stirrer how does she go? tum-tum-tum
Oh yes! "see-hee dem shu-huff-lln'
haylong-ah."
There is method in Mr. Ebbets's
sudden turn toward tunes. He expects
to employ the charms of music to
soothe the savage breasts of his fever-
ish corpuscled Southern Rifles this
season. We are informed by both of
the more famous members of the Cobb
family I. and Ty and by other emi-
nent authorities on dispositions and
dialects south of the Mason and Dixon
line that there is nothing better than
sound to quiet the petulant pulse that
might naturally b.s expected in any
true southern ball tosser when he
finds himself playing with Brooklyn.
So Mr. Ebbets it setting himself to
music
At the present time the Brooklyn
Rebels have practically an all-southern
cast A Yankee has horned in
somehow in the person of Cutshaw but
he is excused on the ground that he
always hung out south of the slot
whenever he was in San Francisco dur-
ing his Pacific coast league days.
Mr. Ebbets has been quietly popu-
lating Brooklyn with Southern leagu-
ers for some time and he already had
quite a stock on hand last season but
during the drafting and purchasing
periods he marched right to the sea
clutching the sweetest magnolia blos-
soms of the circuit When 1912 closed
he was ableto line up a team on which
only two men conversed with "r's" In
their language.
Many Majors and Colonels.
Jake Daubert Napoleon Rucker
"Lefty" Allen "Red" Smith. Wheatl
Stengel. Moran Northern and Otto
Miller were all majors or colonels or
generals having done time in the
Southern "league. One wav and an-
other Ebbets seized five or six new
southern seintillants during the vear
and some of these will be tried out in
the spring.
He potted a brace of the crack pitch-
ers of the Southern when he got Atch-
ison of Montgomery and Wagner of
New Orleans. The former was the
Southern league leader and the latter
stood third in the percentage table. Al
Demaree. the Giant recruit was sec-
ond and McGraw probably jUBt barely
beat Bbbets to him.
Atchison was planted at Montgom-
ery for ripening under option. He is a
lefthander who has been up before. He
won 17 and lost 7 games out of 25
appearances. Demaree won 24 and lost
10 out of 34 starts being just two
points behind Atchison at the finish.
Wagner won 19 and lost 8 games
for New Orleans and is said to be a
promising youngster. Other Southern
leaguers who were on Bbbets's roll
when the drafting and buying stopped
were James. Williams and Somers. of
Nashville. Stenzel also came from the
Southern hitting .290 in 136 games.
He hit .316 in 17 games after coming
to the National league last season and
will have a thorough trial in 1913.
Stars From Southern League.
The Southern league has been very
productive of great baseball stars for
years. -Besides the only Cobb and the
only Rucker a score of others could
be named the list including Tris

and was away below his r.r -ural
speed in that line. He will ir-
doubtedly be Dahlen's regular secorw

to prove a sensation.
Larse Supply of Meyers.
Ebbets always keeps a large mi;.

of the Western league. This Mefi
hit for .336 in 162 games and stoi
41 bases. One "Babe" Myers a Torotif
outfielder and a mighty good one. too
is also supposed to be the property of
the Flatbush magnate. This Myers fc:t

Claude Cooper the young outfield r

this spring was drafted from Fit

Boston Nationals and McGraw appa-
rently bought him from that club. Il-

young men are the kind that makp a
hit with the Giant chief. Claude wil:
be closely inspected.
George Stalllngs will have a whol
flock of yonng oatchers this year but
will probably retain but three. He
has Rariden a great backstop but a
very weak hitter and Hank Gowdr.
the former Giant as his veterans. Hun-
kus hit .271 last season and he alwav?

best prospect is Drummond Brown a
youngster from Happy Hogan's Ver-
