Observation-Disclosures

When Willie Richie was awarded
the decision over Ad Wolgast in their
Thanksgiving Day fight California
had the distinction of having had a
champion in every division of pugil-
ism-heavyweight, mlddleweight, well
terweight, lightweight, featherweight
and bantamweight.
Jim Corbett brought the first cham
pionship to California when he
stopped John l.. Sullivan for the
heavyweight title in q rounds in New
Orleans on September 7, 1882. That
memorable victory gave boxing a
tremendous boom in California and
from that time virtually dates the
development of many high-class box
ers in all divisions. Corbett lost the
championship on March II, 1897, &c
Bob F'itzsimmons, but It was quick
ly restored to California when jim
Jeffries beat Bob Fitzsimmons OF
June 8. 1899.
frankie Neil grabbed the next title
for the State by beating Harr.
Forbes in two rounds In San Fran
cisco on August 10. 1903. He lost }
to Jem Bowker in London about on
year later.
While Dixie Kid was never recog
nized as the legitimate welterweigh
champion, the title nevertheless wen

below the grade of misdemeanors.
Another request is that he be given
the right to summon witnesses in
hearing cases of violations.
The imposition of heavy penalties
for using fictitious markers is a
method suggested for breaking up
this practise. The report also sug-
gests legislation regulating the width
of tires on heavy commercial vehicles
in proportion to their weight. The
department thinks this would be a
great preventive to the destruction of
the roads.
The State motor vehicle department
received during the year $496,65S in
revenue, which is an increase of
$82, S67 over 1911.
The report refers to the new sysr
tenn of bookkeeping installed in the
department for agents. The report
says it is possible now at all times
to determine the exact value of each
agency. All moneys are now de-
posted in banks In the name of Com
missioner Lippineott with which
agents deal, and these moneys are
drafted upon by the commissioner at
such times as the agents are required
to make their reports. The report
says this system of bookkeeping
minimizes the possibility of embezzle-
ment or incorporation of the
funds

Ed Walsh Saved 10 Oppose
Best Pitcher II. Every City

/ other weaker pitchers in the others.
As a rescuer he is the best of all
Walsh is a powerfully-b man.
He is. suspension bridge for
strength. His arms are OF steel. For
years he has pitched hardly anything
but his elusive splitter, supposed to
be the hardest on the pitcher using
it, and yet he is as good today as he
ever was.
"There5s no explaining It at all"
Walsh said one day last summer
az know that other pitchers
find the splitter bad for their arms
Well, they should cut it out. have
never noticed any pain from my use
of it, and so l keep 1t.

find that my splitter gets most of
them. and so 1 keep showing it across.
Now and then somebody hits 1t, but
when it's going right-ha, ha, not
many of them hit it.
Walsh's physique is wonderful.
Great wads Of muscle stick out all
over him. His legs are those of a
Hercules and it's the same with his
back and shoulders. Looking at the
man It is not hard to see why he is
the greatest of the iron men. he Is
built that way, that's all.
Walsh started with the White SoX
in 1904, winning six and losing three
games. In 1905 he won eight ana
dropped three. In 1906. the year the
Sox defeated the Cubs for the world
title. his record shows seventeen VIC
tories and thirteen defeats. In l90i
he won twenty-four games and lost
eighteen. He was slowly enlargins
his score until in 1908 he blazed
record yet to be equaled.
His winning average that year was
.7s7, showing forty wins and only
fifteen losses. The following season
he won eighteen, but dropped twenty.
In 1911 he landed twenty-seVen VIC
tories as against eighteen defeats
Last season he won twenty-seven and
lost seventeen.
Walsh is Comiskeys one best bet.
In Washington he opposes waiter
Johnson. In Philadelphia they stick
him in against the Indian, in New
York against Ford, in Boston against
Joe Wood, in Cleveland against
Gregg. in Detroit against Dubuc or
Mullin. and in ST. Louis against
Hamilton. He seldom contends
against a weakling, generally the best
the other teams has to offer.
He is the American Leagues great
est Iron man."

Champion OF Every Class

to him when he defeated Joe Wal
colt at CoIrna on April 80, 1904. Dixie
Kid was given the decision in the
twentieth round. although all present
at the battle agreed that Walcott had
been the victim Of a downright rob-
berry when Duck" Sullivan pointed
to Dixie Kid as the winner. Sullivan
was mobbed and barely got away
with his life.
Abe Attell was the next title hol-
der claiming the featherweight
crown carly in 1904 when Terry Nc
Govern and Yg Corbett had out
grown that class. Attell successfully
defended the title for eight years
losing it to Johnny Ki1bane.
The middleweight title was the
next to come to California, Joe
Thomas claiming it after he had
cleaned up the best boys in his divi-
sion following the retirement of,
Tommy Ryan. His claim was never
questioned and when he and Stanley
Ketchel had their sensational battle
at Colma, on Sept. 2, 1907, it was un-
derstood throughout the boxing world
as a match for the middleweight
championship. Ketchel won after 81
rounds of the most wonderful fight
ing ever seen in modern ring and
thereafter until his death was hailed
as the middleweight champion of the
| world.
Richie completed the list when he
took the lightweight title away from
Wolgast.

TODAY could hold him at 100 yards,
notwithstanding the speed of such
men as Vim Campbell, Bert Shotten
Tv Cobb, Joe Jackson, Ray Chap
man and Ralph Capron. Upon the
occasion of his match race with
Arlie Latham, Sunday was backed
by Chicagoans for $4,000, and they
won their money.
Now, batting 1000 in the Evangel-
zeal League, Sunday says he is proud
he was a ball player and that he al
ways found players on the square.

whether, as he gazes over the sea OF
faces in various tabernacles, he

runner. And this was in the day of

whom better catchers never lived.
Buck" Ewing's arm and his un-
canny quick thinking spelled doom to
stealers, but he and Sunday usually
broke even.

game. well, if Billy Sunday could
have hit, what a marvel he would
have been" Sunday hit 1853 in 1881
which is a splendid average today
In 1883, for Pittsburgh, he led al
right fielders, playing 119 games. He
topped such men as silent Mike
Herman, Sam Thompson and Jimmy
Ryan. In 1885 and 1886 he played
with Chicago, with Ryan, George
Gore and Dalrymple. In So he played
