COULON DECIDES
7 D POSTPONE
WILLIAMS BOUT
By Sol Pick.

CHICAGO. ILL, June 28-Johnny
I. Coulon is not going to fight
Johnny kid" Williams, of Bal
timore, in Tom McCarey's Vernon
arena July 29. The bantam cham
pion decided yesterday afternoon
that he was not prepared for such
a stiff battle in defense of his lau-
rels and announced that he would
wire McCarey last night insisting on
a postponement until Labor Day
Coulon had given McCarey his word.
and said he hated to disappoint Uncle
Tom, but allowed a champion should
take no foolish chances and that he
would not fight Challenger Williams
until he knew he was physically fit
to put forth his best efforts In de-
Tense of the championship he has
held for over five years.
Two Months in Mountains.
Just to show the Vernon Club
promoter that 1 intend playing fair
ball for him 1 will leave for the
coast July or a few days later and
stay there until Labor Day." said
Johnny. II want to get two months
in the mountains before facing the
Williams party. 1 am sure that by
Labor Day l will be my old self,
able to show Mr.. Williams how a real
champion fights.
MY right hand is bad and I am
low in weight because Of the hot
weather we have been having. This
is the first summer l ever tried to
box, anyway, and l guess it is a mis-
take. When my father was alive he
never permitted me to fight in the
summer time. He argued that I was
such a little fellow, always giving
away weight, that training in the
hot months would get me down too
low. That was the trouble the other
was right, and l will never again
book a big match for June. July or
August
1T VIII be cool and nice in the
mountains near Los Angeles and that
will be Just the thing for me. 1 can
build up until a couple of weeks
before Labor Day and then have
something to take off when l start
the training camp grind for Williams.
Is Sorry for Williams.
I am sorry for Williams, because
the pogtponement will be hard on
him. He already is on the scene. so
Labor Day will make long wait for
him. However, he might take on
Eddie Campi again on our original
date. July 20, the winner to get me
on Labor Day. Williams beat Campi
in Eddie's first long fight. Since that
Campi has whaled both Burns and
Ledoux. I think he is entitled to
another chance at the Baltimore
boy"

RIDERS WILL
SCRAMBLEFOR
COIN TONIGHT

with the kind permission Of
M Old Man Weather, and with
the enthusiastic corporation
of the greatest string OF riders ever
gathered for a race meeting in Dixie
they're of Tonight at the Motor
drome for the fourth race meet Of
the local season-and It looks the
best in the bunch.
There's more pep" and enthusi-
asm out at Riders Row to-day, than
there has been since the meeting be-
gan. Up to this meet the riders
have known that, mounted as they
are now. Jock. Mcneil and Wilmer
Richards were fast enough to take
all the races The rest got chance
only in the specials.
Now Mcneil and Richards have
been yanked out and put in class
by themselves. These two meet to-
night in three match races at three
miles each. This will settle the most
momentous speed question OF the sea-
son. But they will have It all to
themselves
IFS a Mighty Close Thing.
With the two fastest machines out
Of il the rest of the riders will scram-
BILE viciously for the Sweepstakes and
the Motordrome Purse. II could not
be any more even. OF the eight
riders who win take part there isn't
over a fraction OF a second to the
mile difference in the machines or the
riders. They are calculated to race,
nose and nose, every inch of the DIFF
ference. with the advantage slightly
favoring Harry Glenn, because he
has the longest nose.
L.. h.. aNaA
comes from the fact that there will
be four starters in each heat OF the
two regular races. In past meets
two OF the heats have had but three
starters. And It really takes four
TO make the racing good. Tonight
both the preliminary heats and the
finals will have four starters.
II will not be surprising to see
some remarkable marks made to-
night The track has been proved
so safe that every man is willing to
let out to the limit. Thus far there
hasn't been a man even scratched.
Accidents Looked For.
To the old timers the absence Of
accidents Is growing monotonous.
Not one Of them ever heard OF three
meets on new track without at least
one bad spill They looked for them
Wednesday night, and II really
seemed TO disappolnt them that moth
ing happened.
It is a marvellous thing. consider
ing the scores Of men who have been
killed on board tracks and consider
ing the fine possibilities of a spill
at IS miles an hour or better. that
none of the riders fear an accident.
They try to be moderately careful
But to expect sudden death-well, II
never occurs to them and they are
the only men at the track who don't
think Of II when they come to close
quarters at high speed.
With a cafe track and machines
getting better all the time there is
no reason why fast mark or two
should not be set tonight.
The races will start tonight at
Sis. Cars will leave Five Points at
short intervals Tickets are on sale
at Tumlin's and Shepherds. All are
provided with rain checks. These
checks are good II rain interferes
before the program is completed.
