NEW YORK April among auto
manufacturers there is a strong and
growing sentiment against the freak
car or racing monster, the chief feat
transforming, to set up false stand
ards and generally belitt,e the bona
fide stock car in the eyes of the pub
lie Some manufacturers have stead
lily adhered to policy of not building
any racing cars and in contests enter
stock cars practically the same in all
respects as those sold at agencies.
The new contest rules of the Ameri-
can Automobile association are de-
cided Improvement and an advance
in this respect, and are heartily wei
coined by the manufacturers. The
evolution of rules defining the stock
car was a 1ong and tedious process,
but the effect of the victory of the
adherents of the genuine stock car is
somewhat lessened when the regula-
tions as adopted permit everything
except valves, frames and wheels to
be altered
The conservation of natural re-
sources and preservation of the for
ests is a question of deep interest to
automobile manufacturers, and the
matter of supply and demand is be

true story of one of the most remark

Choynski when this happened was
one of the best and also one of the
most unfortunate of American heavy

, he must come on to New York.
Although a very sick man. he trav-
eled to New York. There he learned
that Mccoy had withdrawn from the
match and that the club had secured
Joe Walcott to fight ins-ead. Choynski
demanded his $500, but was told that
the club would grab it unless he fought.
He proved that one of his ribs was bro
ken, but failed to make ar impression.
After some argument the club offered
to give HIM Is per cent of the gate re-
ceipts. Choyns4zi, not feeling like losing
his $500 forfeit, agreed to fight, but
he made one condition He asked that
all bets be declared off before he went
into the ring. This the club managers
agreed to do.
Keep Betting Quiet.
| The betting was the secret of the
whole thing. Choynski, sick enough
for the hospital, and with a broken rib,
was as good as gold mine fer the in
| siders Not a word was whispered about
his condition, and bets on Walcott were
placed merrily, whenever a. sucker
could be found. There was little to do
'but rake in the coin.
Choynski in shape would have been
a p-heavy favorite over the black
welterweight The fact that Choynski
was not in shape was carefully guard
ed At the beginning ChoynskI was a
two to one favorite, and thousands OF
dollars were wagered at these odds BY
the time the men stepped into the ring
the odds had gone to to l on Choyns-
Xxi. and even such a wise better as A
Smith placed $1,000 of Choynslli money
against 5000 OF Walcott con at the rlA:s-
side. Like many others Smith was not
in on the killing.
Now the fight: ~
When the men stepped to the middle
of the ring Choynski looked like giant

Ave feet 10h inches tall: Walcott was

rang Choynski spared cautiously, but

ripped through his guard and smashed
home a terrible blow right over the
broken rib. Some one must have
coached Walcott. Choynski doubled
over in agony and the Barbados negro
| slipped in left hook to the same spot.
| Choynski was practically a beaten
man at that moment Bringing his right
over to the jaw, Walcott dropped him
heavily. Referee Johnny White count
ed nine before Choynski could rise to
his feet. walcott tore at him furious
Ily and knocked him sprawling twice
fmore before the bell rang.
