A SAD MIDDLE
FOR CHAMPIONS
HEAVY WEIGHTS AND. ALL
OTHERS DO NOT APPEAR TO
KNOW JUST WHO Is WHO AND
JUST HOW THEY STAND in THE
PUGlLIsTIc WORLD.

The different fight championship
titles at present are in a sad muddle.
Not one Of them can be said to be
clear, distinct and positive. From
~heavyweights down to the feathers
there is not one who owns an undis-
puted right to the title covets. Never
before such a condition prevailed. in
tbs ring game.
Start with Arthur Pelkey. He
claims the heavyweight champion
ship Of the world. BY what reason?
johnson is heavyweight cham
pion by all the rules of the ring
game. Mccarthy was the first Of the
champions who acquired his title
without meeting the possessor of the
same. sr ~
Then the middleweights. STANLEY
hetchel before his death could have
taken the tribe-Papke, Klaus, Nc
Goorty, the whole flock Of them-and
Knocked them silly in the same even
ING. Klaus on the strength of his
record, is probably the top of the mid
dlewe1ght class. Here is the second
present day Champion who acquired
the title without meeting the real
holder. ~
The same disturbed condition is
shown in the Welterweight class. Jim
my Clabby cannot make the weight
(l4b pounds. If he. could, Jimmy
would probably head the list, but
with Clabby out of the reckoning
Wildcat Fern should be given first
place. Fern is the pick of the divis-
ion. H..
Willie -Ritchie is lightweight king,
wines title has a bad flaw in 1t
and unbiased fans On the coast still
maintain that AID Wolgast was rob-
ped OF the title by the decision which
made Richie the winner on a foul.
Like the others -litchie won his title
by the punch of the other fellow in
stead OF his own only in a different
way.
Packey Mcfarland and Jack Brit
ton are also in on the title claim,
Britton was beaten by Richie a long
time 6 and probably could mot do
1t again, but neither Mcfarland nor
Britton can make the lightweight
limit. They are simply included to
show the general absurdity OF, present
championship claims.
Talking of all lightweights, Freddy
Welsh has as much right as the next
n in that lineup. Freddy has prob
ably the best claim of any of them.
He beat Matt Wells for the English
championship and he met and beat
Willie Ritchie before the present
champion fought Wolgast.
In the featherweight realm Kilbane
and Dundee are both claiming the IT,
tie on account of their recent draw
battle. And Kilbane got his on a de-
not on a knockout WALTON.

NEW JERSEYS STRIKE COSTLY.
Three and a Half Millions in Cash,
Besides Injury to Business.


New York Press: The state bureau
of statistics, in charge of Chief
George c. Lowe, is compiling data
relative to strikes and labor disturb
ances in New Jersey for an annual
report, and shows that the strike in
the silk industry, now well into the

with it's upward of $4,000 idle opera

From the investigation so far made

account of the total stoppage of pro-
duction in the nearly 200 silkmills Of
Passaic and Hudson counties.
The silk strike of Paterson will be
the subject of a special report which
is now being prepared under loves
direction.
The statistics thus far compiled
show the number of strikes since Oct.
