Public Spirited Citizens
Boost the Athletic League
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

The retrenchment proposed by
President A. A. d'Ancona of the board
of education whereby the Public
Schools Athletic league is threatened
to be wiped out OF existence. has
brought the whole situation clearly
before the interested and public spir-
tied citizens who form the board OF
directors Of the league and who have
given their time and labor-and
money before the board OF education
took over the burdens-with the re-
suit that movement Is already on
foot to have the league firmly estab-
lished by the city and an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 Is to be asked from the
board OF supervisors to carry on the
necessary work for the next fiscal
year.
The fact that the $4,000 appropri-
ated by the board OF education Is not
nearly sufficient to carry on tho work
was amply demonstrated at yester-
days meeting OF the board Of direct
ors OF the league, and these men are
now ready to go to the bat and put
the whole situation UP to the super
visors and have an appropriation
will make this branch OF necessary
and will not have to be dependent on
the bounty OF any particular board
for financial support.
Even should the board of education
vote to discontinue the athletic
leagues appropriation at its meeting
next Tuesday. there Is every reason
to suppose that the good work of the
league will be continued. Should the
league be out Of commission for even
six months 1t will take years to again
work II up to the present high stand
ard of efficiency.

AT the outset of the battle Wolgast
bothered White. He went into his

battle at close quarters. While event

and ripped in singing uppercuts,
which found their mark.
In the sixth Wolgast made good
showing. He caught White with

White went to his corner looking
badly done up.
He came back IN the next round
none the worse for the rough usage

He again outboxed Wolgast in the

the finish. At the end White was
the fresher of the pair. and 1t was the
belief of the spectators that if de-
cision had been permitted White

CHAMPION LOOKS
SAFE At -135
Lb. MARK

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The fact that
Willie Ritchie refuses to wear himself
out by making 933 pounds ringside
is most distressing to the other light
weights in the game. for they see lit
tie opportunity of ever annexing the
title from the clever San Francisco
lad unless he enters the ring physic-
ally unfit to do himself justice. The
managers of the individual men who
are ranked htsn in the lightweight
class also are wailing unto heaven
and calling the champion many harsh
names-a .welter weight" among 9TH
ers. These insist that the lightweight
limit is 133 pounds ringside and point
out that Nelson, Wolgast and Ritchie
all won the championship at that
poundage.
One critic boldly declares that the
only real lightweights today are Fred

Johnson Hurts Hand
With Second Rater,
But Still Has Lead

PARIS. Dec. 2o.-Jack Johnson,
colored heavy weight champion OF the
world. outpointed Jim Johnson. a
second rater. tonight in a 10 round
bout. The contest was decidedly far
cical and the spectators showed their
disapproval by hooting and kissing
the two fighters.
In the Nth round the champion
claimed he had injured his right arm,
but continued TO fight. Jack looked
to be hog fat and altogether In very
poor condition. Neither man showed
any speed or skill at any period.
Jack, however. was undeniably supe-
rior In generalship and skill to his

Ia GRAVE LOSES
To ROGERS IN
FAST BOUT

Al Rodgers hammered his way to
four round victory over Antoine La
Grave last evening at the Pavilion
rink and earned the right to call him
self the champion middle weight of
the four round ranks. He won by just
a nose and many of the fans were of
the opinion that the Butchertown lad
was entitled to q draw.
The battle was one of those old
time slambang affairs. and there was
action every second of the time.
Rogers would rush in and La Grave
would meet his rushes and slug away
with him. La Grave was leading by
good margin at the end of the sec
ond round, but the eastern boy came
on with a fast finish. while Toney
seemed to slow down a bit.
If either man ever knew anything
about the scientific end of the game,
they certainly forgot all about 1t last
night But the fans did not care
They howled with delight every time
that a good punch was landed by
either man and they had many a
chance to howl for the scrappers were
always busy and both were game to
the core.
ROGERS SCORES KNoCKDOwN
The best wallop of the fight was
landed by Rogers in the third round,
when he whipped over a right over
hand swing to the kidneys which
took La Grave off his pins. That
wallop hurt La Grave and slowed him

took the lead and held II till Referee
Eddie Hanlon handed him the de-
cision.
Eddie Miller, the cleverest and fast
est OF the local bantam weights,
earned four round verdict over owen
Hookar af Ma 49,
real scientific mill of the evening, and
the form which Miller displayed was
marveled at by the crowd. He smoth-
cred Hooker with rights and lefts to
the head and held a good lead
throughout. Hooker showed evidence
of good punch, but Miller generally
kept out OF his way.
Bubbles Robinson, the colored light
weight, was handed decision over
Young Joe Cans. whose skin Is of the
same hue. Both men were a bit too
cautious and failed to open up. Cans
IS a clever boy and handles himself
well, but he is not quite aggressive
enough to make good here.
GRAUNAN SHOWS CLASS
Charles Givens. the Seattle light
weight, won from Walter Scott, the
Mission boy, after four whirlwind
rounds. The lead which Givens had
was q s1gnt one, 1noeed, ana q draw
would have been better decision.
Ralph Grammar of Portland contin-
ued his winning streak by stopping
Eddie White in the third round with
left hook to the Jaw. This Port
lander looks like a coming lad. He
can hit and he can box, and he knows
how to measure man to nicely.
Herb Brodie, an unknown, furnished
surprise by holding the clever
frankie Jones to a draw. Both lads
gave a great exhibition of boxing.
and the decision seemed TO suit the
crowd.
After knocking JEFF Morris down in
the second round Frank Johnson, a
colored heavy weight, slammed his
| helpless opponent and lost the de-
cision on a foul Neither Of the big
fellows showed any class.

Ty Cobb Invents
New Tangled Bat

MI EW YORK, Dec. 20
IN Ty Cobb has turned in
ventor. The slugging outfield-
er of the Detroit Tigers has
made a bat which will do
away with the sting-not that
which is brought upon the
pitcher when Ty peels off a
base hit. but the sting which
goes through batter's
hands when the ball and bat
meet. Cobb's new bat has a
thin layer of cork at the han
die. This prevents the bat
from slipping, and, if success
full, will do away with the pres
ent method of winding tape.
