THE ABTSE or AUTOUOBTLE
HORNS

IIOH Y -.
The excuse of the young autOmobiist
whose reckless driving Of his machine
in Orange, y. j.. on Monday resulted in
the killing of one person and the injury
of another is that he blew his horn
but neither of his victims paid any at
teEtiOn 10 il. This does not mitigate his
offence in the slightest. The deluSiOn
seems 10 prevail among some automobil-
lists that their sole duty on the highway
is TO emit shrek Of warning whenever
any one gets in their way. This notion
unQueStionably goes far toward making
streets and roads unsafe for pedes-
trians. There is no warrant for ii In

assume in taking ii for granted that
when they sound their horns every one In
their way must run for his life or ac-
cept the consequences.
The horn as used by reasonable auto
mobile drivers no doubt makes for
safety, but it is question whether it
has not, on the whole, contributed to the
reckless operation Of motor vehicles.
The temptation is to put too much faith
in its efficacy If the machine is being
driven fast there is always the feeling
that the horn may be relied upon TO keep
the track clear i'm front. Those who
like this New Jersey youth, think that
their full obligation toward their fellow
users Of the highways is 10 put them on

WELSH AND MOORE
READY FOR TONIGHT
Both in Finest Condition for
Hard Battle at the Ma
tionaI Sporting Club.

NEW YORK, April 12.-One of the best
bouts of the year will take place tonight
at the National Sporting Club, when
Freddie Welsh and Pal Moore meet in a
ten-round contest. Welsh is conceded to
be the best lightweight in England. not
wfthstanding the fact that he recently
lost the title to Matt Wells. He is plan
uing to return to England to get a return
match with Wells, and his showing in
this country will have an important
effect on his future at home.
Pal Moore has made great strides in
his march toward the title in this coun-
try. He recently outclassed Young Sam
my Smith, and a year ago he defeated
Jem Driscoll. He is in the best condition
OF his career at present. and is confident
that he will outpoint Welsh
Freddie Welsh has another incentive
to win tonight-a match with Packey
Mcfarland. Welsh is eager to get an
other bout with Mcfarland, and if he
wins tonight the bout will be arranged
at once providing Mcfarland will agree
to make the lightweight limit, which
Welsh demands. 1t is likely that Man
ager O'Rourke of the National club will
stage the bout in a few weeks. McFar-
land will be in New York tomorrow He
is coming here for his match with Tom
my Murphy.
A record crowd Is promised tonight.
Manager O'Rourke reports that the res
ervations already taken insure a repre-
sentative gathering at the ringside. Many
of New 1ork's most prominent profess
siOnal and business men will be at the
ringside.

JACK WALTZ PUT OUT
BY DICK MEL SON
Latter Delivers Knockout
Punch After One Minute of
Fighting in Round 3.

NEW YORK, April 12-Fighting Dick
Nelson of Brooklyn knocked out Johnny
Waltz in the third round of scheduled
ten-round bout at Browns Gymnasium
last night. The knockout came after a
little more than one minute of fighting
in this session. when Nelson landed a
right hook at close quarter flush on the
jaw.
Waltz dropped like log and fell over
on his back, striking the floor head first
He was unconscious and was slowly
counted out by the referee. He tried to
get up at the eighth count, but could
not stand. The best he could do was to
crawl on his hands and knees. The
blow was delivered with terrific force
and Waltz was dazed for ten minutes
after he was taken out of the ring.
That the bout was going to be fast
was apparent. as soon as the men got
into the ring. Both looked to be in per-
feet condition, and went after each other
like a pair of wildcats.
The first round was even, both men
getting in a couple Of damaging blows
at close quarters. Neither man stalled,
but attended strictly to business.
In the second session Waltz got one
over that shook the Brooklyn fighter up
him and had the Jerseyman hanging on
at the bell
waltz rushed out in the third to set
tie things. He put over two rights to
the face and then backed away from a
left. The men danced around the ring,
opening and ended the battle.
In the semi-final. Young McGovern and
Malta fought draw. The bout was TOT
six rounds.

AS a matter of fact this is not the

lance, for at Pittsburg a short time ago
he was credited with 2 minutes 26 Sec

however, and as the tangle has not as
yet been satisfactorily Strengthened out
it is generally believed that the Pittsburg
performance will not stand.

turn trip so that Goodwin found himself
about eight feet to the bad at the 30
