Late advices from Australia inform us that popular disapprovaI of Ref cree '"Snowy'' Bakers verdict in the McVey-Langford dispute was so wide spread that to square himself that official broke into print with an ex- pIanatory spiel.
 And the ''explanation" does not ex- plain. At least it does not point out satisfactory reasons for his decis- ion that McVey's work was superior othe Boston coon's efforts. Rather to the Boston coon's efforts Rather the battle would give one the impress sion that Langford was entitled to q draw at least. if no moSe.
 At that there is not one word in all the expressions of dissatisfaction at the decision insinuating an attempt at dishonesty on the part of referee or anybody interested in the affair. Rather sorrow at or pity for the off ciaI bIunder. I shudder to think of the "short and ugly words that would have been thrown at everybody con nected with the match had it hap pened in this part of the worl1.
 Snowy Baker was, I believe, professional boxer some few years back and has long enjoyed the reputa- ton of foremost ring official in Aus tralia. According to accounts, this was his first serious blunder, if such it was, and even the most competent and experienced judges and closest observers ''foozle" now and then. It is no crime to make a mistake once n while; anyway McVey is to give Langford chance to reverse the de- cision and the feeling engendered by the questionable verdict ought to spur the contestants to their best efforts in the coming engagement.

scream with most followers of the sport. To illustrate: two boys meet in a ten round match for points. For seven or eight rounds one lad piles up the points to his credit. Then the other fellow comes strong with a spectacular finish and has the better of the last two rounds.
 Should any question arise to the enc rightfully entitled to the decision in such case? Decidedly not. But how often is the verdict given to the boxer who pulls the sensational stunt right near the close, and the good work of his opponent throughout the greater part of the battle entirely forgotten?
 This is a failing of many referees; the incompetent ones, I mean, and there are plenty scattered about the country. Sometimes when pressed for an explanation the referee will ad- vance the argument that the man he favored was stronger at the finish and would have won in a few rounds more.'' That's where he brings his second-s4ght faculties into play.

This gives the rockies a chance to show what they possess and the veterans time to rest up tired and kinky arms between jumps.

Lefty Russell To
 Be With MaCkmen
Southpaw Who Cost Ath- letics $12,ooo Will Try to
 Make Good This Season.

Lefty Russell. the Athletics S12.- 800 southpaw, who was a fizzIe last season, says he will surely make good this season. He is now in San An tonic with Mack's rockies and is m the pink of condition. Connie believes he will finally get his moneys worth out of his expensive investment. Rus sell pitched only one game for the Athletics in 1910 and he looked like a peach. He shut out the Boston Red Sox, holding them to four hits.
 Last season Russell did not survive a game. He never got in condition all season, and though Mack carried him on the team Lefty was not de c Jared in on the Worlds Series pie. Russell tried to hold up the Athletics for big increase last season and was the last Mackite to sign This spring Lefty" was so delighted at getting a contract that he mailed it back to Mack the same day he re- ceived it. It is worth while being a Mackman these days. and if Russell had behaved himself last year he might now be some $3,OOO richer than he is.

C., New York. when he C opped the New Yorker for the long count after a minutes fighting in the second round The knockout was half due to Lewis weakened condition, for he had received a terrible battering in the four minutes of action
 A swift, snappy right hook that caught Lewis on the point of the jaw did the fina! damage. When 1t struck Lewis fell flat on his back. He tried to roll over, and paved vafnIy at the air for something to grasp, so that he might arise, but the veteran was all in, and he succumbed to the fateful count
 Gibbons sent Lewis to the canvas in the last few seconds of the first round. Willie had taken a hard beat ing in this period, and was ready to give up the ghost. All through the short fray Gibbons kept poking his left into Wi1Iie's face and then bring ing his right to the body with uner- ring accuracy.
 Lewis was desperate from the first tap of the gong. He took several wal Iops on the jaw to get over his right.
 When he let it fly it missed by yards, for Gibbons was out of reach After the first minute it was apparent that the ending wou'd be a quick one It came sooner than was expected, Will lie Lewis now becomes a bonfface. AS a fighter. farewelfi
