BOXING

Milwaukee, Wis. June 11.-Ad Vol gast. the lightweight champion of the world, broke his arm in the seventh round of his fight with Jack Redmond here last night. At the time Wolgast was battering away at Redmond at a great rate when his arm came in con- tact with Redmond's head. breaking the Eone.
 A big crowd was on hand to see the champion in action. It was Wolgast' s first appearance in a ring contest since he won the title from Battling Nelson. He was loudly cheered upon his en- trance into the ring. Redmond. too, who is local favorite. received a round of applause.
 It was a tame bout in the early stages. Wolgast appeared a bit un- dertrained if. anything. and many bets were made that Redmond would stay the limit It was a. no decision contest and Wolgast was content to outbox his opponent.
 The champion cut loose bit in the sixth session and battered Redmond about the ring. He followed up the same tactics in the next session. But Redmond blocked a vicious swing with the result that the bone in the cham pion's arm snapped. The bout was stopped then.

 San Francisco, June 1.-The arena at 9th and Market streets in which Jeff and Johnson will do battle on July is beginning to show some kind of shape and the contractors de- clare 1t will be fully completed by July 1. It is now one-third completed and shows monster size. Builders de- lare it is the greatest structure of it's kind ever attempted being 400 feet square and with sufficient room to ac- commodate 3S,600 persons comfortably. The promoters believe the arena would be damned on the day of the big fight. The seats will range from $5 to $50 and it is no idle boast to declare that the gate receipts will reach somewhere in the neighborhood of $250,0oO or $500, GOO. As Rickard and Gleason, the promoters, have put up a purse Of S101 900 and will have spent another $10O,O ,OO0 on preliminary. expenses by the day of the fight they will probably make s75,O00 or $100,000 out of the gate receipts as well as one third of the receipts from the moving pictures. AS these will probably be worth S300,- 000, a bid of $25O.OO has already been received-it is easy to see how Rick ard and Gleason will cut $100,000 apiece out of the big battle. The sale of seats shows that $114,000 worth have already been disposed of while the to- tai reservations to date reach $2OO.- GOO.

A Scotch Anti-ooIf Law.

Scotland, as everybody knows, is the land where golf originated and the land where it most fourishes. But if the law were strictly enforced north of the Tweed it would go hard with the players of the royal game in "bon- nie Scotland" Golf players there may not know it, but they are liable to a sentence of death for their indulgence in their favorite sport. Technically this is literally a fact. In ancient times, when Scotland always had work for her soldiers to do, all young men were required to perfect themselves in archery. They preferred to play golf, and so serious rival did the game be- come that it was for a time suppressed and made a capital offense. That curi- ous law never has been repealed and may still be found on the statute book. There seems to be no record, however, of the law ever having been enforced.

copy of the legal document, declaring it was not worth the paper it was printed on. The contract by which Little hopes to force the payment of his claims was signed in Chicago and Johnson claims it is null and void be- cause boxing is not legalized in Chi cago.
 The promoters are not so optimistic as Johnson in this respect as is evil denced by the number of long confer ence held between Rickard and Little and it would not be surprising to see Johnson's former manager back on the job within short time.
 Johnson did little work yesterday but increased it today and late this afternoon will don the mitts with Al Kaufman and then do several rounds with his boxing partners, Cal McVey, one time pitcher for the Cincinnati ball team, is still on the job as night watchman around Jack Johnson's sleeping quarters and the dusky cham pion admits he is afraid some one will try to do him harm while he sleeps.
 Those who saw the three round be- tween Jeffries and Corbett at Row ardennan yesterday declare 1t was a peach. For two rounds the big fellow merely spared a little but in the wicked punch on Jeffries' smeller and in a minute "ton of bricks fell on him. Jeff, fast as lightning, closed in and for three minutes there was a real fight. Fast as Corbett is he could not get away from Jeff who was always on top of him hammering him good and plenty. It was mar speed. From now on Corbett and Jeff will do lot of fast boxing. Cor bett declared today that he never imagined Jeff could be so fast.

ANOTHER KNOCKOUT BY MIR. s. KETCHEL
This Time He Finds His Victim in One Jim Smith a Likely
 Chap
Fifth Round Saw the Finish of the Promising Contender
 Crashing Right to Jaw.

It looked for time last night as though Stanley Ketchel, the middle weight champion, had met somewhat of tartar in Jim Smith. Smith was doing very we'll until the fifth round, when he went out of business.
 The bout was the windup to a very excellent boxing show at the National Sporting Club. Smith had made a little local reputation for himself by his last three fights in as many weeks, and last night was the only time he has been put away. The go was full of action from the start and Smith by his dogged determination had just begun to get the major portion of the crowd on his side when he received the blow soporific. It was the only straight blow of any account during the entire session. Ketchel caught him full on the jaw with a straight right just as he came in trying with d left swing. Smith went down as hard as if he had been hit with a trolley car, and he was dragged to his corner dead to the world. But the wonderful condition he has shown in all his bouts stood him in good stead even here and he revived very quick ly.
 The crowd was all interest as the fifth round began. SInlln dSd1n luf- nished the surprise by rushing for Ketchel. He missed a left swing, then came back and landed a right swing on Ketchers stomach. Ketchel did a bit of wild work here himself, but corrected his fault with terrific short-arm jolts on the ribs in the clinches that Smith always made. They had fought over to one of the corners and Ketchel side-stepped to get a better poise for more delivery. smith essayed one of his usual swings and, crouching with it, came toward his opponent, Ketchel feinted with his left, which of course, knocked Smiths left try out of it's balance. The forward motion had not stopped when Ketchel began his Qiuck as a flash he drove out his right hand, and caught Smith full on the chin, as his head was at about the height of Ketcheps elbow, held downward The blow was given with all KetchePs weight, and Smith took no more interest in the evenings entertainment.
 The United States Navy lowered its colors in several of the preliminaries Its champion, Chuch Carlton, deter mined that he had enough in the sec ond round of the terrific onslaught of one Morris Harris. Both are colored. Tommy Calvin of the cruiser Tacoma didn't add any particular 1ustre to the service by his encounter with Kid Me Donald. He was quite unused up at the finish, but at that the bout was draw

NO FRICTION IN PITTSBURG TEAM
 SAYS DREYFUSS

Pittsburg, Penn, June 1.-The Pitts burg Leader last night charges that the slump in the worlds champion Pittsburg Club is due to jealousy among the players. President Barney Dreyfuss strenuously denies all the as- SertiOnS.
 The Leader declares that Hans Wag- ner and Jack Miller have openly declared war against Jack" Flynn, thefirst baseman, and that these two players have made strenuous efforts to oust him. It is further asserted in The Leader that the slump of the worlds champions is directly due to this factional fight and not to the weather, as has been attributed by loyal supporters of the Pittsburg team.
 Because Capt. Fred Clarke selected Flynn in place of "Bud'' Sharpe for first base, the published story states that Wagner and Miller took up the cudgel against Flynn.
 President Barney Dreyfuss would not discuss the situation but finally issued a statement, which says:
 s'It goes against my grain to dig nifty such absurd fiction by denying it but I will do so to save some of the clubs friends from being miSled. The entire story, from beginning to end, is an absolute lie. There is not one word of truth in it.''
 Philadelphia, Penn., June 11.-Man- ager Fred Clarke of the Pittsburg baseball team stated last night that rumors of dissension in the Pittsburg Club were absolutely groundless.
 ''The best of feeling prevails among the players" said Clarke, ''but just now the hard hitters of the team are in a batting slump and cannot get in to their stride. Wagner for instance is hitting around .250 and my hitting has been far below what it should be. These stories of trouble between Gib- son and myself and Wagner, Miller and Flynn are the verieSt nonsense"

MOTOR CYCLISTS
 TO FORM CLUB

Several of the members of the old Bridgeport Motor Cycle Club which went out of existence last season be- cause of lack of interest met last evening at the store of William Greenspun, S39 Main street, in augurating plans for the re-organiza- ton of the club. To further advance the plans of the organization there will be a meeting of all motorcyclists this evening at the above store at 8 o'clock. Every owner of a motor cycle in the city is invited to be present regardless of the make of machine he operates. There will be a run tomorrow morning, the mem bers meeting at Greenspun's store at o'clock. Among those present last evening were: Fred Lyman, Will At kinson, Henry Severin, Ferris Stevens, Sanford Boynton, E. G. Bishop, and William Greenspun.
 Interest in motor cycling has been on the increase for the past year, there being more owners in this city at the present time than there ever has been. Bridgeport has been lit tie in the rear in the matter of clubs of this sort, every city in the state having a representation. The local owners should avail themselves of this opportunity to get in the run ming
