Williams Trims Ledoux, French
Bantam-Dundee vs.. Welsh.

night by stopping Charlie LedOux, the
French bantam, in the fifteenth
round at Los Angeles.
The referee halted the bout be-
cause of the terrific punishment the
= Baltimore lad had melted out to the
foreigner. LedOux was battered in
every round after the third and was
helpless from the middle of the
twelfth until the bout was stopped.
After the bout the referee declared
he feared Ledoux might be fatally
hurt by the battering he was receiV-
ing.
After reading this Johnny Coulon
may decide that Williams is bad
medicine to tackle. The Logan
Square midget recently Cancelled his
contemplated fight with Williams, /
but explained that he would take the
Baltimorean on as soon as he was
physically fit. The trouncing may
convince CoulOn that his health will
never allow him to meet Williams.
Coast promoters now plan to
match Williams with Eddie Campi,
the bantam pride of California, and
if COulon does not defend his title
against the winner within a reason
able time either Williams or Campi
will claim the championship. The
claimant will probably be Williams,
as the dope shows him to be a far
better man than Campi.

Ed Walsh, White SOx pitcher, is
running a correspondence school
that teaches ambitious guys how to
fool batsmen. It's a great idea, but
if Ed is going to tutor his scholars
to pitch as he did yesterday he must
first send them a barrel or so Of
assorted brains.
That was the commodity Big Ed
used to beat the Red SOX in the final
game of the series. On few occasions
did the Moose exhibit any speed, and
his splitter was another ingredient
that was rarely employed. A slow
curve was Eds main reliance, but his
willy use of the bender got him by.
Several times during the game
frenzied fans, used to seeing Walsh
dazzle the opposing batteTs with his
speed and splitter, remarked that he
didn't have a thing on the ball"
Why criticize a guy for that when
he can win? Think what he could do
if he had something? He might win

NEGRO EDUCATOR SUES FOR BE.
ING CALLED GAMBLER.

Because, he alleges, Charles 8
Smith, Negro publisher Of the Twin

restaurant that he was a crap-shooter
and said other things calculated to
hurt his feelings, as we'll as injure
his reputation, Sherman 8. Furr, who
conducts Negro school at Newport
News, Va, entered suit in the federal
district Court today for $4,000 dam
ages. Furr had been in the twin cities
soliciting subscriptions for his school
and now he declares that people who
had promised to give funds have with
held their contributions because of
the remarks addressed to him.

said that the two had met before while
travelling "incog" in Chicago.

Selves by "victory''

Despite the defeat yesterday Of Will
lam A. Pattangall, the Democratic can
didate in the Third Maine district fight,
Administration officials here are de-
termined to see In the result encourag-
ing signs for the Democracy in the
rock-ribbed Republican stronghold.
Congressman Cullop of Indiana. who
took an active part in the campaign in
Maine, was at the White House early
this morning to report his nrst-hand
observations on the fight, and he de-
clared that 1t was one Of the most
waged In an "off year. Moreover, he
analyzed the returns in such a way AZ
to show that the Democrats, instead of
losing, have gained
He called attention to the fact that
while Pattangalls vote fell short OF
President wilson's by las. the plurality
OF his Republican opponent. Speaker
John A. Peters. was more than 200 shy
OF the plurality polled by his Repub-
lican predecessor, the late Congressman
Forrest Goodwin.
Arrayed against Pattangall, Mr.. CuI.
lop said, were the rich manufacturine
interests Of Maine, all of the Federal
patronage. which has been unchaneed

the election show nothing but loca
political situation, why did they send
their biggest men there. Why did they
send Bryan and Clark and Redfield and
others If it was a local fight? Why,
everyone there said that the campaign
was more like q national campaign than
a Congressional fight. The papers there
said SO often.
Repudiate Tariff.
THE result was a Republican victory
because the voters in that district,
which is typical one, are repudiating
the Underwood tariff. The farmers
threw Taft down hard last election and
gave him only 1000 votes because they
did not like the idea of Canadian reci-
procity. Now they see that the Under
wood tariff IS even worse. Under reel
proclty there might have been compen-
sations: Under the coming tariff there
is nothing for anyone except the influx
of the competition of the world.
Il think the election presages a big
Republican sweep next year.
Congressman Frank E. Doremus,
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional campaign committee. said:
THE result was in no sense surprising.
While We made fight there in behalf OF
Pattangall, We did not entertain the
hope that he could win unless the Bull
Moose candidate should run well, which
he failed to do. The district is one
of the most thoroughly Repu blican in
the nation. Only once during the past
forty years has 1t failed to elect a Re-
publican to Congress"

HUERTA WEAKENED
Attitude Of 0'Shaughnessy Is
Cause Of Considerable Doubt
by Administration.

William Bayard Hale, one Of Presi-
dent Wilson's erstwhile investigators
in Mexico. held long conference at
retary Bryan on the Mexican situa-
ticn, but at its conclusion neither
would discuss the object Of the meet
ing.
According to Secretary Bryan no
dispatches whatever were received
today from either Charge O'shaush-
messy or former Governor Lind, which
means nothing has been received to
explain away the fact that while II
was announced here last week that
Mr.. OShaughnessy had received ver-
bal assurances from President Huerta
and Minister Gamboa that the Msxi-
can ruler would not be q candidate
in the elections next month, Mr.
OShaughnessy gave out q statement
in Mexico City denying such assur-
ances.
Administration officials here still
still incline to the optimistic view
of the Mexican tangle. but the attI-
tude Of Mr.. OShaushnessy has weak
ened the basis for this confidence.
There are many things still to be
explained besides the contradiction by
Mr.. OShaughnessy. For instance,
the Administration has not yet Of
