land / would have to do him up in the
first few sessions in order to be able to
handle him myself. You can talk about
all these other fighters you want to,
but / nave been boxing with Kaufman
for some time, and ! know that he's
got the, punch and the stamina back
Of 1t to give anybody a hard battle.
Naturally.>I think l can beat him, but
I'd rather go against Jeffries any day
in the week."
johnson took a spin downtown yes
terday in his automobile and, Incl
out. his trainers saving him from a
knockout, whereupon A bets him that
jeff was really. oil indirectly, knocked
out; that is, johnson Is credited with
a knockout. b bets that he is not
credited with a X. o. Later B gets
cold feet and says that he meant HI
-Jeff's trainers threw up the sponge and
thereby Jeff was not knocked put. who
wins, A or B., and does Johnson get
credited with a knockout? S. A.
This question was answered the other
day to the effect that a sport who bet
that Jeffries would be knocked out
should pay up, though he can hedge
on Richards decision that Jeff's Sec
onds disqualified him. Tex's decision
leaves the question much in doubt.
We'd say it was a knockout inc John
son should get credit for a Knockout

count it in the pool score. Our pool is
decided by the STARS count, and we

In the last game New York played
with Boston yesterday kindly tell me
If the six runs scored by New York
In the eighth inning should count In

To the Sporting editor OF the Evening Star:
Kindly publish this answer in your
paper: A bets B New York Nationals
got more runs than Boston in the
double-header yesterday. B claims bet
because the four runs made IN the
eighth inning should not count.
ELIZABETH.
Don't know how you made your bet.
but of1cially those four runs do not
count, because the score goes back to
the last even innings. Since bets sc
by official rulings. we think BIS claim
Is right.-Ed.

Causbrook was pitching. He is twirling
