"OPT|ON" WILLIAM
IN NEW TANGLE IN
ARCHIBALD CASE
Attempts to Repudiate More
of His Former Testimony
Against the Judge.

WASHINGTON. May IA surprise
was sprung when ArchbaId's attorney.
A. g. worthington. told the committee
that Edward J. williams wished to
change his testimony on a very import
ant angle. lie said Williams approached
Archibald In the hall to-day and Arch
bald refused to talk to him. Then.
worthington said. Williams asked for
permission TO correct his testimony.
II want to change what testified to. -
said Williams when he was called before
the committee. regarding the letter
dated March 10 last to G. F. Conn.
asking him to reconsider buying the
Katydid dump. I said that thought
Judge Archibald dictated that letter. but
I now recall that William p. Boland die

Williams. "Boiand forced me to 20

Williams.

q. Did the Judge dictate II a. you

Williams next repudiated his tssti-
mony that he say Miss Boland clip of

This fellow Mcintosh is surely going
in for fight promotion in a big way.
He has had his Rushcutter's bay

an aII-the-year-roun affair He is
reaching out in all directions for tall
ent. it being doubtful if there is
ringman worth his salt either in this
country or England who has not had
a proposal of some kind from McIn-
tosh.
Two Worlds Championships.
On the face of it. it is evident that
Mcintosh is figuring on pulling off two
worlds championships within the next
year. His course is plain as far as
Johnson is concerned and it looks as
though he is holding Hughie Michigan
in that country in the expectation that
he will be able to lure Wolgast or VOL
CASTS. successor to Kangaroo Land.
1t was given out some months ago
that Michigan, who is the undiSputed
lightweight champion of the Anti
DOQeS, was coming TO TINS country TO
seek a match with Wolgast- But he
did not come. Instead, Grover Hayes
left for Australia a few days ago and
will be sent against Michigan during
the Christmas holidays out there.
Worlds Biggest Boxing Stadium.
With his newly rooted stadium to
keep going-"the largest boxing pa
vilion in the world" Mcintosh proudly
calls 1.-THE Sydney matchmaker is not
likely to let a. fine card like Michigan
get away from him. If Michigan wins
from Grover Hayes in anything like
cleancut style, an attempt to lure VOL
CAST to Australia viii surely be made.
Johnnie Kilbane is another American
fighter Mcintosh would like to get his
hands on. In fact, the only men Nc
Intosh is not bothering about are the
middleweights. The reason is that he
recognizes probably there is neither
head nor tail to the middleweight divi-
sion.
When Stanley Ketchel passed, into
the beyond, there were arguments as
to who was best entitled to that dash
ing fighters laurels. While wrangling
over the question of precedence, it
looks as though all the "middles' have
grown into heavyweights-
Many of the fellows who pose as
genuine 15S-pounders would not IN
dertake to make that notch under any
consideration. Probably the best way
to clear up the middleweight tangle
would be to have Packey Mcfarland
and Mike Gibbons fight for the title.

VIII Be Greatest Event in
the History of the
World.
CBY STANFORD M'FARLANDJ


Chicago. Ill, Sept THE aviators
of the world have gathered in Chicago.
For 13 days they will spread their me-
chanical wings in an entertainment
like a gigantic threering circus
Through every sort of competitive Sc
rial maneuver they will contest through
a program so vast that it has required
three separate aviation fields 20 stage
all its details. It will be the biggest
air snow the world has yet seen.
On Sept. 9 the meeting will be in
augurated with the blue ribbon event
of aviation-the aeroplane race Tor the
Gordon Bennett trophy. Tne Gordon
Bennet race is speed affair Pure and
simple: This viii be the fourth race
for this trophy and, as each race has
seen the competition become more
firmly established, the qualifications
and conditions have been made exceed
ingly difficult in this one. This year
the aviatorS who set sail IN the race
will face a greater strain on their
nerves than in any similar contest held
previously. They will be Obliged to
fly so kilometers further than former
contestants flew, the course this year
being 124SS miles 1t will be sailed
around a circular course 81 miles in
length, requiring 40 circuits to COM
plete the distance.
Other special features will include
other races. passenger carrying con-
tests, speed contests, landing from
1000 feet altitude and from 500 feet
altitude with the motor shut off. mail
delivery in a net quickest getaway
with a 500 foot start. bomb shooting at
a target. figure eight for hydroaero-
planes and a handicap race over the
lake to the -Four Mile Crib and return.
Special prizes for duration will also
be awarded. In all $4,000 will be ex-
pended in paying the aviators for the
stunts they perform.

full punch were tremendous. It was
an accepted fact from the 10th round
on that Rivers had no chance unless
he could land a knockout, and Joe was
far too clever for that The decision
given by referee Eyton was cheered for
20 minutes 1t was so different from
the finish of the Rivers W olgast fight
fans that the people hardly realized
what occurred.
Instead of Rivers being a hero in
the eyes of Los Angeles fight fans and
Mandot a friendless fighter, the scene
had shifted. Mandot is hailed as the
next champion by everyone
Joe has no immediate plans for the
future. His victory is of such import
ance that it looks a wise move to re-
main on the coast until such time as
the promoters can induce Wolgast to
sign articles for a mill, which will re-
move the last obstacle from Joes path
for the championship.
The sentiment out here is for the
promoters to force Wolgast into a
match or toss his title into the ring
Wolgast had several friends at the
ringslde to take observations of Joe's
work. They did not see all of the stuff
that Joe has, for once he satisfied him
self that the straight right and left
with an occasional cross puzzled the
Mexican, he seldom used shift that

ATS everybody happy" This was
the way Joe Mandot accepted the
\ cheers which followed referee
Eyton raising his hand at the end of
his 20 round scrap with Joe Rivers.
Los Angeles fistic fans answered his
question, carrying the New Orleans boy
from the ring on their shoulders. So
strong was the rush to carry Mandot
away to his dressing room by Califor-
mans that it was impossible for any
OF his seconds to get near him. Mandot
proved to the whole world that he
was Riverss' master at fighting. box
ing and generalship. He beat Rivers
from gong to gong His fighting was
probably the best witnessed by Los An
geles people in years. There are no
ifs and ands as to why Mandot won.
Everybody comedies him a better fight
er than Rivers. All that is now stand
ing between Joe and the lightweight
championship is for some promoter to
arrange a match for him with VOL
CAST This will be done shortly if the
man that old Battling Nelson dubbed
Cheese Champion" will consent to en-
ter the ring.
Mandot's style of fighting was
mystery to Rivers; also his advisers
the spectators and critics. Joe kept
the crowd in an Uproar from the Sec
ond round till the finish When he cut
loose his pivot blow in the eighth,
Rivers did not know what was coming.
