Newport Automobile Club.

The Newport automobile club was
organized at the rooms of the Young
Mems Improvement club on the even
ing of April 8. The officers of the or
ganization are as follows E:President,
DR.. Harry F. Hamilton; vice presi-
dent, O. c. Miller, secretary and treas
urer, D. N. Dwinell; executive com
mittee J. F. Lambert, G. D. Pratt, j.
R. Kirkpatrick. An attempt was first
made to form a county organization,
but this was found to be impracticable,
hence the local club was formed. There
are at present about rs members. The
membership is not limited to Newport
or to owners of automobiles, and will
work in harmony with the state or
ganization with the same objects IN
view, prominent among which are the
promotion of good roads, respect for
existing regulations governing the own
ership and running of automobiles and
better feeling between the automo-
bile owner and the general public.

Dixie KIDD HOLDS THE
WE[TERWE|GHT TITLE
Victory Over WaIcott Made
Him Champion-To Meet
Howard.

NEW YORK, September 12.-Several
pugilists are calling themselves welter-
weight champions Of America, but there
is only one holder Of that title. the Dixie
Kid. colored, who almost knocked out
Willie Lewis at the National Sporting
Club of this city last Friday night. The
Dixie Kid. whose real name is not gen.
orally known. has been fighting for some
time. though engaging In bouts with
many obscure opponents. But the records
show that April %. 1904. he defeated Joe
Walcott fairly in a twenty-round glove
fight in San Francisco. Walcott, known
as the Giant Killer then, had suffered
heavy weights. but the Dixie Kid was
ure. and he did the trick in such a man
ner as to leave no doubt as to which was
the better man. Walcott was clearly out
pointed by a wide margin and lost his
title of welterweight champion on a de-
cision.
Honey Melody afterward defeated wal
colt and claimed the title, butt his claim
was too late. Then Mike Crwin) Sulli-
van beat Melody and proclaimed HIM
self champion of that class without war
rant. Jimmy Clabby of Milwaukee out
the DIxle h1u III teH-TOuHu
bout at local club last spring, but no
decision was rendered officially, SO that
the negro did not lose his title. Further
more the Dixie Kid met Clabby on that
occasion at ten minutes notice after Mike
(TwinD Sullivan had refused to box the
westerner. Clabby, however, claimed the
welterweight championship and has sailed
for Australia ready to defend the world 5
title.
Harry Lewis and Willie Lewis have
both heralded themselves recently as well
terweight champions, but the latter has
been eliminated by his defeat of last
week, while the formers poor showing
with Harry Mansfield OF England week
before last convinced sporting men that
he had gone back.
as world beaten and may be subjected
to severe test in the near future. From
the west comes one Jim Howard. tall,
powerfully built welterweight. who has
beaten all Corners and is anxious to fight
for the championship. Howard has chal-
lenged the Dixie Kid. and II the latter
will make a match II is predicted that
he will have the fight Of his life.
Howard is not only a quick, clever
boxer. but a terrific hitter with either

says Howard Is fighter on the lines of

be the recognized welterweight champion

Howard Is a knocker-out," says Roche.
land he can whip all these alleged well
terweight champions with ease. II the
Dixie Kid will meet him I'll bet that
Howard will stop him In a few rounds"
ager and he thinks the negro is invincible.
For that reason 1t is believed that
match with Howard will be arranged
soon by one Of the clubs here.

Special Dispatch TO The Star

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
DETROIT, Mich. September 12-'I do
| not care to go on record as saying who
will win in the worlds series in October
II IL comes to an issue between the Ath-
letics and the Cubs. This much. though,
I am quite willing TO say: II the Athletics
do rot show more class against Chance $
team. more grit. more vim and more vigor
than they have ever shown against us in
the crucial games. they haven't got a
chance.
Naturally. my sympathies are with
the American League. and II Is my SIN
cere hope that the flag comes to our or
ganization this eyar. Unless. however. man
for man, the Athletics rise to the occa-
sion and play the Cubs in different spirit
than they have played US In several bat
ties for the American League pennant. |
am unable to see how the outcome OF the
worlds series as between the two. leagues
Is TO be different from what II has been In
the past three years.
"Of course. the Athletics haven't any
thing like the team TO play that We met
in 1907. That team came very close to be-
ing the greatest base ball nine that was
ever organized Nor yet is il like the
Cub team OF 1908. II anybody had asked
me i'm the strictest confidence after the
first decisive game in 1907 as TO the re-
suit OF the series L am very sure tnat 1
could have anticipated the outcome. That
one unfortunate mum at the plate by
Charley Schmidt put US out of the rum
ming. and the finish was plain to see.
1T is true that the Cubs of today are
not the Cubs of 1907 and lbs. but they
are still wonderful organization. and
any team that beats them must have grit,
sand, vim and vigor.
I'm 1909 of course IL was different So
evenly were the Pirates and Tigers matched
that Ii was a toss-up which would win.
THE one great factor in all these games
for the worlds series pennant Is to get
the jump on your opponent. Put the
other team in a panic by some unlocked
for or heroic play, and the battle is prac-
tically over. But the one great thing is
to keep your spirit all the way.
1T would poorly become me to go on
record and say which of the two teams
that will play for the worlds championship
will probably win the flag. very much
hope the big pennant will fly over an
American League park. OF one thing.
however. i am very sure-the Athletics
will have to play a vastly different kind
of game than have ever seen them play
in order to beat the team that. even with
the changes that have taken place in the
last two years is still perhaps the great
est machine ever
