oisas forty rounds to make the Bat

N'a,n'ahts' Woigast hasn't fought
SINCE FEBRUARY and right now Is de-
nianding a prohibitive share OF purses
oHered to fight owen Moran.
Public opionion May Force Woloas,
to Fight.
III ls likely. however, that public .opin-
ION Will force the Milwaukee lad into
uie ring with the little Englishman.
ihen the title may be won and lost. and
II Will remain for Walsh and the rest OF
them TO challenge the winner.
Inc end Is likely to see more changes
In the lightweight division than in all
the other classes combined.
Nhen We come to the featherweight
CLASS We might say Abe Attell, that's
all. This wonderful little Californian
stands practically alone. He is a leglti-
mate feather" and 1t Is doubtful. II
that can be said about his nearest rival.
1891 Jim Itftlly 1OlEnt
FREDDY Welsh and lost on a foul in q
battle at lightweight. IT isn't likely
that he can make the feather liml, Of
l22 pounds.
Many Claimants Of Bantam Title.
The bantam champions" or rather
claimants. are almost too numerous to
mention. Johnny Coulon. OF Chicago. Is
generally redlted with being the best
bantam in the world. but l6 pounds
ringside is the best he can do. At the
ll5-pound limit he might find II trouble
some 20 hold Frankie" Burns. the
little Hoboken cyclone, who has fought
his way to the top rung.
Then there Ia the little English
champ. Digger Stanley, who is shortly
due here. He Is scheduled for q series
OF bouts thai may change the entire
! appearance OF the bantam class. or
the rest of the little fellows there Is
nothing that would give n one OF
them a lien on the title. Boys like
Ph!lly McGovern. Wagner, Coster and
the rest OF them beat each other too
often to be entitled TO serious consid-
Grafton.
Athletic Outlook hazy.
The athletic outlook for the year is
somewhat hazy. Four out OF ive men
loom up as prospective champions In
their respective specialties. but upsets
are likely on track and field. and al
most any small happening may throw
them out of II. For instance. Jake
Hartranft stands out as a most poten-
! ,!al candidate for hurdle honors both
over the high and the low sticks. He
has shown surprising speed, and II he
can beat Jack Eller OF the !. A. A. G.
this season the title will be his. al
though It IL largely a matter OF con-
dition with both.
Going down the line past Martin Sher-
idan. who seems to have the discus
honors in his grip. although he finished
second to Gifin at New Orleans last
fall. Ralph Rose. the shot putter, and
others who stand out In their respective
lines. we come to Gissing, the marvel
lous half-miler. who beat Mel Sheppard
in the National Championship at New
Orleans. Gissing always has had
Shops" number. and should he COM
pete next year doubtless will repeat.
Kramer and Bailey Promising Dis
! lance Men.
Among the distance men Billy Kramer
and VIII Bailey look the most prom
Using for the coming year. Kramer IL
undoubtedly a conner at the hve-mile
route, and with George Bonhag In re-
t!rement the fve-mile championship
seems reasonably safe for Kramer
over "A longer route, the ten miles, VIII
Bailey OF the y. y. A, c. has the best
chance of annexing premier honors
Bailey Is young and, like Kramer. 1,
coming. Among the milers It's a toss-uI
between w. Paul. Klv!at and Monu'
ment. Actual competition j. all that
can decide the question of a seasons
superiority with them.
In racing, golf, tennis, billiards and
other OF the many branches OF the spor
world titles change hands too often e
permit OF reasonable representations
II looks like a busy year.
