Johnson. by the way, is the only
worlds champion of whom America
can boast He won that title from
Tommy Burns. has once knocked out
Lang, the Australian title holder. and
England has so poor a lot or heaNies
that they are not worth mentioning.
In all the other classes i'm this country

Middleweight Title in Dispute.
There is such a tangle in the welter-
weight brigade that no one may specify
the fighter rightfully entitled to the
championship. Aaron Brown, known as
the Dixie Kid. is generally admitted TO
be the logical titleholder, but Brown has
been whipped i'm many short bouts Inc
fact that these contests were not cham
pionship affairs. however, has saxed
Brown from being thrown out Of consid-

Wolgast Rules Lightweights.
-Ad wolgast. who toppled over Battling
Nelson February - last, has been play
ing in lots of hard luck since that time.
A broken bone in his left forearm has
kent the Wolverine Wildcat out OF the
game for many months. Woigast broke
the bone in a bout with Jack Redmond at
Milwaukee He failed to allow the frac-
ture to heal properly. and as a result
when he engaged in another contest soon
after q deeper break than ever resulted.
Wolgast expects to be in shape to defend
his title against Owen Moran within two
months.
In the featherweight division Abe Attell
outclassed his field much as Johnson
outclassed the heavies. In order to get
matches now Abraham has to concede
legitimate feathers are too easy for him.
Attell claimed and has defended the
featherweight title since 1904. when
Young Corbett, who had won IL from Ter
~ McGOvern, graduated into the light
weight class Since the day, almost seven
years ago. that Attell first took up the
featherweight fight he has been so supe-
rior to all the boys i'm that division that
he has found it difficult to get any one to
meet him.
Rivalry Among Bantams.
In no case has there been more box.
ing or more bitterness than among the
11s-pounders, and there are more good
men In that division today than In any
other Queensberry class. There are at
least twenty-five little fellows. each OF
whom has some claim to a bout for the
first honors Of the class.
Jimmy Walsh Is regarded as cham
pion by many. but as Walsh cannot
make ZIG pounds. ringside. he cannot
Faithfully declare himself a bantam.
Johnny Coulon of Chicago looks like
the legitimate title holder.
