M CCH space mas been devoted
A'A some might say wasted-in
discussions over the white hopes of
the ring and the seeming impOssi-
billtIeS of getting a real good enc,
hut how about the other ext!eme of
boxing the bantamweiEhts? Why
isn't that division being recruited
and why are not the big purses
possible FOR hlsh-class boxers Of
from rs 10 IFS pounds attractive
enough to develop good little fell
lows?
A BOUT a year ago one Johnny
toulon was around beWailing
the fate that made him Champion
without paying opposition. That
is. while johnny got matches hither
and yon none Of them paid him very
mach and in order TO have a respec-
table balance at the close Of sea
son Johnny had to battle early and
late, picking up three or four purses
in order to accumulate what he
should have obtained in one con-
test had business been keen in the
department. Things are but little
better now ANA at the outside one
can hardly figure six first-class men
in the ll6- pound class.
AND the best little man except
ing the champion himself
Kid Williams Of Baltimore-is said
now to be getting a tritle bigger
than Johnny. an increase in pound
age that may forever stop the final
settlement of the long question be-
tween the wonderful little men.
Williams has been snarliug and
swapping at Coulon for long time
now. but Johnny has been too i'll TO
pay amy attention. Now come the
rumors from the East that Williams
has discovered the sad fact that he
must soon step into the next di-
VISION above and battle them from
Johnny k!lbaue down.
EXCEPTING Williams. the two
l. best prospects developed in the
country in the last year are Benny
Chavez. the Mexican boy. who halls
from Trinidad, Col, and Eddie
Campi, of san Francisco. OF course,
there is frankie Burns. of New
Jersey. but he isn't prospect, for
frankie arrived long time ago
and has been a thorn In the SIDE
Of the best OF them for many day
Campi Is minus the punch app3r-
entity which initiates against his
chances strongly. Chavez has got
the wallop, but lacks the experience,
and besides gives the impress
sion that he, too. may soon be seek
ing matches in the heavier division.
But II the Mex stays where he is
in the matter of ponudase he can
not help but he a tremendous fac

Badajos, held by the French under General Phillppon, Stormed by the British after flght hl which five thousand men fell American privateers began prey British commerce.

Other naval duels ended in favor of American ships. Decatur, commanding the frigate United States, took the Macedonian, while the Constitution captured the Java. President Madison refused the services of Gen. Andrew Jack son; Jackson thereupon organized independent corps which reluctantly accepted when reverses came. General Hull led the Americans to Canada, and was defeated Macknaw. Hull surrendered Detroit Brock, British governor or upper Cahaua who had formed an alliance with the Indians Fort Dearborn (Cheago) was burned by the Indians and settlers maSsacred. In a battle near Foft George, October 13, General Brock was killed, but the Americans were forced to retreat Dear born made a frutess attempt to invade Canada.
