is a safe bet that they are also work.

pared to put up a stiff game. The fact
mat the state championship is rapidly

Most Of the colleges are pleased that
this years meet is to be held under

active candidate for the honor Of
holding the meet, and the Quakers
only announced a willingness to take

M'Carty Should Not Be Blamed
For His Stand on Wells Fight

Billy said. The one thing apparent
was that there was a desire to side
track Willard in favor of the Bonn
barber. Something was sprung about
the Wells-McCarty prospects having
an international flavor. and 1t was ar
gued that there was nothing to pre-
vent Willard hooking up with the win
e later along In the year.
McCarey. the belt provided, liked
the Wells NJ Carty idea.
THE British have done so much for
the game OF the gloves that I think
We ought to display a h~ands-across-
the-sea spirit and extend courtesies to
any representative fighter they send
u.s." said Uncle Tom.
The British papers liked the idea.
They were a unit in extolling Bonn
barber Wells as "the representative
British heavyweight" and they de-
clared he would command lots of
backing from his own country when
America selected a man to compete
against him.
Has Wells ever shown an inclina-
ton to hook up with McCarty or any,
n else on this side in a regulation
championship encounter?
After all the nice things the Eng
lish press said about him one might
expect to find him fired with the am
bition to strive for the championship
in the orthodox way. l have no doubt
that some Of the old-time B~ritishers
on this side Of the pond had visions

But the Bombardier wants ten

In justifying his position he said
recently:

to take $4,000 for a ten-round bout
than for q twenty-round affair. par

San Francisco. March Luther
McCarty's seeming Discrimination to
meet English Bombardier Wells in a
ten-round decisionless bout in New
York has raised quite a controversy.
and from what the writer can gather
the majority of the critics seem to
think the Bombardier has the better
Of the argument.
Well. as the pugilistic world wags
plication, nor ear McCarty be charg-
ed with any violent offense against
Queensberry ethics If he sets his face
against the ~ten-round. no-decision
proposition to the very last.
What the writer would like to know
is why the Bombardier is so persist
ent in holding out for a short bout
and why he is content to dispense
with the services of a referee.
To bark back a little. This fellow
McCarty has. been a commercially
busy mar since the process of weed
ing out the hopes Of the world began.
Fired by the ambition to get into the
title OF white champion he has en-
Gagged in several contests and among
those who were considered the tough
est pale-faced heavyweight set.
He beat AL Kaufman in Jig time,
and he took a little longer to dispose
OF that rock-ribbed warrior, Jim
Flynn. With. his hands crippled and
only a week or two between fights he
went against the hardest of them all
Palzer.
This match when it was arranged
looked like the final test for Ameri-
can heavies. and to add eclat to the
occasion Promoter Tom McCarey fur
nished a championship belt.

on the following Fourth of July.
In the meantime one Jesse Willard,
who had outpointed Luther McCarty
in an eastern short bout. began to in
quire why Luther should be looked
upon az the king pin Of American
heavies.
Why don't you box Jess Willard
for n championship next Fourth Of
