NEW YORK. May S.-The great boom
in the fighting game in France has at
tracted so many American and English
fighters to Paris that some Of the Yankee
fighters will be fortunate II they get on a
battle there before the season closes, the
latter part of this month. Al Lippe, man.

dleweight, says that there are only two
clubs in Paris. but that there are SO many
fighters there that 1t would take six clubs
to supply all Of them with contests. Lippe

fighters are so Disguised they intend to

good fielders. They are not what you call
long hitters, but they are trying to learn
how to chop the ball.
They say the pitchers are weak. but
then they haven't had much of a chance
to develop. They do have a lot more
speed than you imagine. and they are
quick to pick up the tricks. When the
Chicago team was in our country the
pitchers learned how to throw the spit
ball. and already they have some good
curves that fool the batters OF course.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MANCHESTER, n. H., May S.-East-
ern boxing critics are singing a different
tune these fine spring days when the
lightweight championship and the possi-
bility Of a successor to the present title
holder are under consideration. Wolgast
has never been what you might call a
great favorite with metropolitan sporting
writer's, and after the recent bouts with
Knockout Brown the Michigan boy
was lambasted verbally right and left by
the men whose opinions cut ice in east
ern boxing circles.
Ad was referred to as fuke champion.
most critics giving Brown credit for two
victories over the Cadillac Kid, although
the more conservative were inclined to let
matters go at a draw. while really close
observers opined that Wolgast had a
shade, inasmuch as he was doing about
all the fighting near the finish of the
bouts.
Wolgast surely is not the classy sort OF
boxer, but he can fight bit In the
rough-and-ready way that made Battling
Nelson famous. So prejudiced were the
scribes that they could not see q single
redeeming feature in his work and labeled
the kid an excuse" champion. AS a
rule New York newspaper men are fair
expressing opinion Of a boxers merits.
The average boxer, no matter where he
halls from. may feel confident that he
will be given the kindest treatment by
the critics, but in Wolgast's case 1t was
different.
