I winner the claim being made that he
had outpointed his opponent up to the
last and that the knockout was acct
dental
They say knockouts cannot be avoid
ed at times, but just the same they
decide the winners on points. 1t is a
new one in the boxing line, but never
theless 1t is a good move. for the reason
that the boys are encouraged to spar
for points instead Of striving to knock
out their opponents. 1t might be well
to state, too, that in New Orleans, La,
the authorities have taken up the cues
ton of more athletics for the scholars
and are now thinking of introducing
boxing into the athletic departments
The scholars are obliged 10 have a GER
tain standard in their studies before
being allowed to compete on athletic
teams and this does much to urge the
boys to greater efforts in their studies,
for they all like the athletic end of IL.
And still some people say that boxing
is brutal. How about football?
Frank Klaus, the Pittsburg middle
weight, has once more demonstrated his
right to clash with the topnotchers.
At Boston the other night Klaus knock
ed out Frank Mantell, a clever middle
weight of the east. but who has had
most of his fights on the Pacific coast
the past year in nine rounds. Manteu
not long ago fought a hard 90 round
draw with Jack (Twin) Sullivan and
gave ether evidences of being crack
ing good man at the weight There
fore Klaus's victory makes him look
pretty good and his showing against
Stanley Ketchel was on thefevel. Klaus
has a kick in either it and that is
what counts in any kind of a battle.
He will be in demand row for battles
with Billy Papke and Stanley Ketchel.
and there is no reason why he should
not be supported against either one;
his showing of late certainly entities
him to It. Klaus and Eddie McGoorty
would be a swell bout for any club.
and Hugo Kelly and Klaus would not
be bad.
DESPITE the fact that Freddie Welsh
and Packy McFarIaAd are matched TO
meet in London in May there are re-
ports coming to this country that II
is not cinched and that Packy may
drift back to the United States. 1t does |
not seem possible that Welsh would |
make the match and then let anything
Interfere TO prevent it. and Mcfarland |
would not be the one 10 back out after |
trying so hard in England to get on I
with the British champion. However. |
ShOnld Idcky EON HC WO0Ao
have plenty of matches in sight. as |
there are clubs anxious to get good OPP |
ponents for such men as Harlem Tommy |
Murphy, Owen Moran. AID Wolgast and |
battling Nelson. Packy and Moran, if !
they could settle on weight. would be
a great card for any club. apd Ray |
Bronson would like TO have another go |
with the Chicago lad. AT present VOL
CAST is following the theatrical circuit. |
and il is not likely that manager Tom |
Jones would match him up until well
into the summer or fall.
There is liable to be another con-
tender for bantam weight or feather |
weight honors in the near future jim
my Walsh. the Boston bantam. who /
claims the title for America, Will meet
Eddie Greenwald in o round bout in
on April s. and should the
Brewery boy happen TO slip one over
on the genteel Jeems il would cause
stir in bantam weight circles. Eddie
has the punch and it would not be at
all surprising TO hear of him landing a /
