John BULL STILL F1ARPING
ON "ANERICANIZING" SPORT
Olympic Fund of 100000 Develops Slow
y and Saturday Review
Grows Sarcastic.

Britishers engage i'll sports than any
other people, but they do 80 for recrea-
ton and not with the sole object of
winning contests. They profess to be-
lieve the American spirit is to win by
any means, and that American athletes
care more for prizes and medals than
sport
The Duke Of Westminster hopes the
fund will not be spent in developing a
few remarkable athletes. but in organic
ing general athletic gatherings, and he
utters warning against American
specialization.
The Saturday Review predicts that the
money will be raised, although. the
paper adds. If it were asked for any
thing important to the nation it would
not be forthcoming.
IF Stonehenge "a celebrated monu-
ment in Salisbury plain) were offered to
the public to save its being sought by a
Yankee. for $500. 200. would the British
public riser asks the paper. It adds
that the familiar type of amateur, who
is really a professional. is an offense to
all gentlemen and all sportsmen, and
declares: IF we cannot win in this ridic-
ulous business without adopting the
ways of the professional, it is infinitely
better to lose as gentlemen.

LONDON, August 23.-The great Oiym-
pic fund of $4,000 is not rolling up 81
fast as the promoters expected. An ap-
peal for this amount, to provide
adequately for the British team at the
Olympic games in Berlin in 1916. was Is
sued August IL. It was signed by Earl
Grey, Lord Roberts, the Duke of West
minister and many other prominent men.
but only $4,000 has been subscribed in
the first week. OF this $4,000 was sub
scribed by Lord Northcliffe. $1,000 by the
Duke of Westminster, while Sir Thomas
Upton and II. G. Selfridge each con-
tributed $500.
The project has met strong opposition.
Notwithstanding that Lord Roberts

are made on the ground that wholesale

Jim Coffroth. Tom McCarey or some other
Pacific coast promoter comes forth vita
sufficiently inviting offers.
Manager Buckley claims the 'Gunboat'
has cleaned up the white heavyweight
division thoroughly and that the only
fighters between him and the champion
ship are Sam Langford and Jack johnson.
Buckley processes to believe Smith equal
to the task he will impose upon him. and
that for the 'Gunboat'' TO score vie
tory over the tar Ia by" is tantamount
To winning the championship Of the world.
Few will argue with BUCKLEY over The
latter point as the popular impression
is Jack Johnson is Through and that
Iancford is the best heavyweight in the
ring today. As for his contention that
there are no more white heayies left for
the ''Gunboat' to battle, well. there are
several members Of that division who
think differently.
Al Palzer is one who refuses TO COLI
cede the "Gunboat'' the position as pre-
mier white heavy. Arthur Pelky is an
little claiming on his own account;
understand Tommy Burns bills him as
the white heavyweight champion. lhen
there are Frank Moran and Jess WIZARD,
both of whom lost hairline decisions TO
Smith, and whose complaints that the
yerdicts were unfair are backed up by
number of experts who witnessed both
battles
Admitting for the sake of argument
that the ''Gunboat has established his
supremacy over the rest of the whites
the question arises what chance would
he have to beat Langford. A canvass OF
fight experts would probably show very
few inclined to concede him chance
with the demon black. The popular beiief
is that the negroes outclass their pale,
face rivals in the matter of fighting ana
that the quality Of the present bunch OF
white heayyweights is way below par
Still there has never yet been man SO
good that he could not be beaten 1t may
be that we rate the blacks altogether LOO
highly and that we overestimate the apii-
tiles of such men as Langford and jean

MEXICAN SITUATION HAS
IMPROVED MATERIALLY
Wilson Believes There is a War Lob
by but Does Not Consider 1t
Formidable

Washington, Aug. 12.-President
Wilson let it be known last night
that he was inclined to believe there
was an organized -desire-proceeding
from sources unknown to him-to
bring on war between the United
States and Mexico.
The president does not regard the
war movement as extensive, but as
very troublesome and referred to
Misrepresentation in some individual
newspapers. He indicated that he
shared somewhat the views of Sena-
tor Williams, who declared in a
speech Saturday that an organized
lobby existed to involve the United
States in war.
There is no occasion for alarm, in
the opinion of the president, who told
callers that within the last forty
eight hours the Mexican situation had
improved materially.
