FRENCHMEN JUST LEARNING
 BOXING GAME.
With American Instruction SkilfuI and Hard Hitting PugiIists Are Being Turned Out.

Ten years ago the F'renchman vas still supposed to be physically and morally incapable of learning to fight like Christian" (to quote the quaint phrase used by a worthy of the old prize ring), and when little later le boxe began to be cultivated in Paris 1t was impossible for the foreign critic to contemplate the first products of the new cult with mingled amazement and amusement Yet there was no reason in the nature of things why race which had always excelled in the art of the sword should not also distin- gUish itself in the ring. The character istic qualities of the successful fencer fine footwork accurate timing, the ability to judge distance, the harmony of hand and eye and a reserve of nervous energy-are equally valuable in the modern game of boxing while the compact physique of the round headed, short necked French athlete and his unconquerable courage obvi- ously provided him with the capacity of Wlthstanding punishment
 American boxers invasion of Paris provided the expert teaching required and the result is seen today in the ap- pearance of a group of slzilful and hard hitting French pugiiists whose style is in most cases a blend of Amer ican and English methods. A few of them adopt the so-called American crouch. which. as the annals of the old prize ring clearly show, Is actually of English origin. But the best of them can only be called "AmerIcsniz- ed'' in the sense that they attack In two places. paying ss much attention to an opponents body as to his head whereas the point of the chin is the chief objective of attack with nearly all English boxers. All or nearly all of them have the punch"

FANNY STANTON IN 2.Os 1.2
First Trotter of the Year to Go Mile Better Than 2.10 at Lexington, Ky.

John L. Dodge the Orangeburg mil- lionaire medicine man who "teanB' trotters and pacers for health and pleasure, holds the seasons record for the fastest mile over the Kentucky trOttiug horse breeders association track at Lexington, Ky, and likewise is the first man to ride a mile better than 21O in Kentucky this year. He drove his five year old pacing mare Fanny Stanton a mile in 2.09 1-2. Fan ny Stanton has & record of 2.01 1-4. made last year, but that was not the limit of her speed in 1911. Over the Lexington track in June she wiggled off a mile in 2.06 1-2, but as the sea- son advanced she seemed to grow dull This year. however. she is much improved bodily and will in all prob ability be one of the really busy side wheelers of the grand circuit
 There Is a green four year old pacer at Lexington that is not far behind Fanny Stanton in state of preparation and, in the opinion of a number of work watchers, one that will eclipse her speed before the end of the year. His name Is The Shuff1er, and he was bred and is owned by Major Thomas J. Carson, who owns the Dixiana stud of thoroughbred running horses George B. Haynes is training The Shuffier, and recently drove him a mile in 2.10, the last quarter in 20 IA seconds.
 Zach Chandler, who is training sev- eral of the get of General Watts, 2.06 3-4, former holder of the three year old championship for Gen. c. c. Watts, the Charleston. w. Va. law yer. has the credit for the fastest mile of the season with a three year old trotter and likewise with a yearling trotter
 A few days ago he drove Mahomet Watts in 2.16 1-2, the quarters evenly rated, and electrified the spectators, among whom were Senator Joseph W. Bailey. It is truly remarkable what Chandler has been able to accomplish with this Mahomet Watts. which last season was confessedly uncomfortable in tha hande of Tommy Murphy

A well known Los Angeles boxing enthusiast asked of me yesterday why .Ad Wolgast should be held to l favorite over Joe Rivers, says C. k; Eyton,
 I promptly answered him-Because of his sterling record and the fact that he is the worlds lightweight champion.
 In reply to this, my questioner re- lieved himself as follows:
 There Is nothing in Wolgast's rec ord that entities him to be such pro hibitiye favorite over the Mexican. Take every man he has fought since winning the title-Jack Redmond, La grave, Tommy Mcfarland, Knockout Brown. Hogan, George Memsic, Burns and Moran.
 T don't think there is one among them that would have been better than an even money bet against Rivers. There isn't a man on the list that 1 wouldn't have backed Rivers to beat. Now with the added weight, experience and confidence in Rivers favor, they make Wolgast a to 1 favorite be- cause he beat bunch of mediocre men who never had a chance to figure in the championship class.
 Another thing that makes this price absurd is the fact that Wolgast was operated on for appendicitis and mo- body. not even himself, can tell to what extent his stamina has been ef- fected until he has had a gruelling battle over the twenty round route. These four and six round bouts he has been testing himself with are no test at all preliminary fighter in ordi- nary health can go four or six rounds with no more training than a shave and a haircut. No, sir; ? to l is false price; it should be 10 to 8, or 10 to : at the most and then only be- cause Ad is the title holder"
 All of which sounds pretty reason able, but personally I do not figure that way.
 If you want to tangle dope like that, you can pull almost any mans record to pieces, even to the great John L. Sullivan. Ask yourself, whom did he ever lick that amounted to anything? They even say that our Jeff only licked a lot of dubs So relterate you can't figure that way and be just.
 Little Ad Wolgast has done all that has been asked of him and did 1t in a thoroughly workmanlike manner. He has not picked his men, either, they never came too tough for him, as he conclusively proved when he matched himself against Packey Mcfarland at 135 pounds. said Mcfarland really be- ing the legitimate welterweight cham p1on of the world.
 Both Wolgast and Rivers are said to be in the best of shape for the July 4th battle.

eroekIyn g. Boston 8.

Boston, June 27.-Boston lost to Brooklyn g to today in an unexpect- ed manner. After tying the score with five runs in the eighth, during which Fucker replaced Knetzer. the locals in the ninth set out to overcome a one run lead which Dickson had allowed when Smith scored on a wild pitch. Singles by Sweeney and Kirke and an intentional pass to Titus filled the bases with two out. Then Houser hit between first and second, and with Sweeney almost crossing the plate with the tying run for Boston and Kirke just behind him, Titus was hit by the batted ball and the game was over.
