Amateur racing loses because Of the
Withholding Of a gentleman's certificate
from young Taylor. There is no more
skillful hOrseman OF any kind IN this

Yesterday I received a gossippy let
ter from San Francisco sporting man
at present in the East. II throws con-
siderable light on the boxing game
there. Says my correspondent:
The Madison Square crowd-that is.
the so-called Twentieth Century Ath-
letic Clubs blamed by everybody
around here for having the boxing
game closed down. AS you no doubt
know, boxing was being carried on
here under the club membership plan.
They were getting away with it all
right, too. when these Twentieth Cen
tury fellows opened as though they had
obtained a permit to run the whole
town.
The night of the Britt-NcGovern
match they had ticket spectators on
the sidewalks selling tickets. which is
strictly against the law 70 begin with,
and which, even if it were not. kicked
the legs from under the subterfuge that
the show was being conducted by "A club

How the Others Fare.
Schlahy remains about the same with

was supposed TO be feeling not so peart

-2l3- Tom Hughes has .259, which is not
his real worth in hitting, for Thomas has
about as many extra bases as he has
singles. Mil is not in the game these
days and remains stationary with $50
Falkenberg has had some luck and is
batting $50. Stahl is not so good with
20, and Jones trails him with .21s. Iick-
man has Dos and Heydon .143 and VIII
liams .140.
Washington is fifth in club hitting
with -259, and a bad fifth in the total OF
long distance hits with III extra bases.
The only individual slugger OF note

credited with 80 extra bases, but that

Governs blows were certainly more ef-
fective than Britt's- At the end Of the
ten rounds McGovern was in better
shape than the native son. The con-
test drew $40, 200.
Not one, but a dozen, New York critics
asserted that McGovern did not train an
hour for his affair with Britt. one sport
ing writer said that he lived in Terry's
camp during the time he was supposed
TO be undergoing preparation and knew
whereof he spoke. Most of the Eastern
papers noted that a roll of adipose tissue
was i'll evidence at Terry'S belt line.
Now the question is this: If Terry did
not train and Britt did not train, and
Terry had clearly the better of Britt.
what would be the result of an engage
ment for which both men were properly
conditioned
The answer is, sign them up for an
early date in San Francisco or Los An
geles and let them have it out. Despite
the stories that have been told in con-
nection with McGovern's mental in

Another interesting topic touched upon
by my correspondent is the Joe Cans
Willie Lewis contest in New York. He
writes:
Il saw the Gans-Lewis fight and I
must say that IL puzzled me. You know
what sure hitting boxer and what a
fine judge of distance Cans is. Well. he
missed Lewis every time he straighten-
ed an arm. Mind you, l am not saying
there was anything wrong. I'll leave
II for you to form your own opinion"
Many of the New York writer's were
commercially plain-spoken in regard 10
the bout in question and fiayed Cans
mercilessly for being under a wrap all
through the contest
Cans is extremely unfortunate in the
matter Of getting into bad looking

1T was a sad thing for Jimmy Britt.
He did not train a: all. as everyone
was telling him that McGOvern was
crazy, an, asking him not to kill poor
Terry. After the hrst round Jimmy
discovered that he had been trapped.
