FIGHTER CLAIMS
HE WAS ROBBED

Young Jack Johnson. the local pu-
gilist who lost to kama Opo, at Wal
luku, July 4, thinks that he was
robbed ~ the re-eree. Johnson has
never done anything in the local ring
to cause favorable comment on his
ability as a fighter, but he and his
friends are entitled to their opinions,
and the following communication
from him, received by the sporting
editor this morning, is printed for just
what it is. worth. II Johnson can sub
stantiate his charges, he can certain
" start something" in local ring
circles. If he can not, then McFadden
has a strong come back on him.
The communication from Johnson.

who wish to see justice given every

the night of the Fourth Of July:
"McFadden was the referee, and the
people here, even every man who was
betting on Opo and wanted to see him
win, say it was the rawest deal they
ever saw in a prize ring. Opo did not
lay his glove on me for the two short
rounds that we were fighting. The

"The first round we were fighting
only few seconds and ! caught him

down for at least ten seconds, and the
referee turned his back and would not
count Finally Opo got up, thinking
he was knocked out, and began tC

HARVARD BALL TEAM

Now that the college baseball sea
son of 1913 has passed into history.
the relative rating Of the big eastern
teams is q matter OF considerable in
tefest. Critics seem 10 be divided as
to whether Harvard or Yale Is en-
titled to premier honors. and many
are the arguments and figures for and
against both contentious.
The New York Suns expert sizes
up the college ball situation as fol-
lows:
Yale's defeat by Harvard in the

to the most casual follower Of college
baseball 1t was a team that stood
out from its rivals in point Of consist
ency. in knowledge Of the finer points
al the game, and in all-around playing
ability. Until the Harvard series the
nine had been beaten by but two col
lege teams Pennsylvania and VIII
liams, and with q schedule made up

earned the enviable record Of winning
seventeen straight games. In the
case of Pennsylvania. the Ellis more
than evened matters by winning two
out of three contests, while her de-
feat at the hands Of Wiliiams-by no
means the usual high-class Berkshire
outfit-was justifiably to be regarded
as one OF those accidents that some
times will occur in baseball as in
other sports; but more usually in
baseball.
