WALCOTT STILL
LEADS WELTERS
Jack DOugherty Tells of His
Recent Fight With HUI
man Gorilla.

Some day there will arise a fighter
who can whip the human gorilla, Joe
Walcott. but the day is still. far away
The colored person is fast nearing the
Osler age, and has lost some of his ef-
fectiveness through an injury to his right
hand, and il he were an ordinary human
being, would have been relegated to OBJ
livion long ago. But Joseph is not an or
binary human being. He is a fighting an
imal pure and simple, made by nature fo-
that one purpose, and that he fully car
ries out the purpose for which he was
made will be testified to by Jack Dough
erty.
Jack put up fight that would do cred
it to any man. From all reports he was
more than holding his own up to the fatal
eighth round, but somehow the negro s
black paw struck him underneath the
eye and stopped his career.
II thought l had him beaten until the
last round" said Dougherty in speaking
of the battle, but he soaked me on the
eye and | was struck stone blind. I
wasn't knocked out, but [ thought my eye
was, and got up on my hands and knees
and was feeling around on the floor for IT
when the referee counted me out 1t ism
so bad to be knocked out, but when you
lose an eye it makes you feel pretty rot
ten. BY the time | got my sight back
again the crowd was leaving the place
and that gorilla was grinning at me from
his corner like monkey with a bag of
peanuts.
"Walcott is harder to get at than any
fighter | have ever seen. 1t is only a
waste of strength to hit him on the jaw
hit him the hardest punch there that l
ever landed on any one, but it didn't both
er him in the least. 1t nearly whirled
him off his feet, and | thought had him
going, but before / could hit him again
he showed a left hook under my jaw that
made me see stars. Next time any one
tells you that Walcott is all in don't be-
lieve it. Ask me.

in the American has q royal chance to
win. What is the condition of affairs
in the National? One club well out in
front, two fighting for second place and
the other five nowhere. Some of the
also rams" couldn't win pennant in

that the American is developing no new
talent its supporters point to the names
of the following young players, brought
out in the past few years: Glade, Petty,
Hickey, Stone and Hartzell of the St.
Louis club; Lord and Knight of Philadel-
phia; Chase, Laporte, Clarkson, Leroy
Kleinow and Delehanty of New York;
Hoey, Glaze and Darlington of Boston;

Pittsburg boasts of Mike Lynch, Ganley

To an unbiased observer the American
