Governor Sulzer is showing a desire
to have the law against gambling at
the racetracks enforced. And the
sports did say the governor was "all
right" before the votes were counted.
However, the big splutter now seems
to be in reference to Saratoga, where
1t is as natural to bet on the horses
as it is to take the waters At Bel
mont Park there isn't a thing doing,
the authorities would have us believe.
and you can bet all the money you
desire, If you only know how to put
1t down This is such an easy matter
that If you have the inclination you
will soon learn the source of action.
Running races without betting are i'm
possible, for few would go to the
| track if they couldn't take f1ier.
g
| Uhlan, the famous trotter. seems to
be at his best. The King, as he is
called, in negotiating a mile over the
Grand Rapids track yesterday after
noon in 1:59A, smashed all previous
Michigan records to smithereens. The
mighty horse is said to be In grand
shape and even faster time is predict
! ed before the season is over. =

No one is wishing Leach Cross hard
luck, but not q few are saying,
wouldn't it be terrific blow if Mat
ty Baldwin gave Cross real decisive
beating in their bout tonight at Los
Angeles" Going back to the dope,
Baldwin is seen to be batting about
1000 in his fights, with Cross, and in
one bout Leach was getting so much
the worst of 1t that the referee
/ jumped out of the ring to protect the
sure thing gamblers money That
was when Matty was very good, Since
then he has been up and down. Now
| he is said to be $3.50. Cross has been
going so we'll lately that 1t is hard
to see where Baldwin has a look-in,
although 1t may be one of those
things in which no matter how bad
he is he can beat Cross any way OF
course, that is all problematical. On
the merits of the case, Cross is the
better prospect, and the betting indi-
rota hot ha ha
favorite.
Sailor White and Young Weinert
have had their say, but no blood has
been spilled as yet. The controversy
savors OF the old-time methods and
is not a bad stunt at that. The
trouble is some New York club is
likely to benefit by all the fuss. An
other bout between the men would
attract large crowd of Newarkers,
and Jimmy Johnston, of the st.
Nicholas A. c., would make no mis-
take in giving Weinert and White an
early date, yet perhaps Gus Troxler
would do we'll and the fighters would
do Just about as good If the match
were to be held at the Central In
stitute on some special night

When Johnny Dundee was bob
bling around with Scotty Montieth,
! his manager. few ever gave him
tumble as being a prospective light
weight champion, but he has as good
a chance as the next one and is
surely on the road of opportunity.
An overgrown featherweight, Dun
dee is out on the coast with two
matches against pretentious light
weights on his hands He Is billed to
fight Freddy Welsh on August u and
AID Wolgast on December 8. That
he will win either of these fights is
rather doubtful, but many's the boy
who would consider himself excep-
tionally lucky to be able to secure
such propitious bouts. Welsh is per-
haps too clever for Dundee, but
Johnny might get away with VOL
CAST, who is nothing like his former
| self, the result mostly of appended
tbs. With fortune smiling on him,
Dundee has a future, but whether he
| will be able to go through to the top
is the doubtful part of the program.

Fight fans are saying that Frank
McGuinness is not bad scrapper by
any means and some of them declare
he is as good as the bad bunch of
white hopes" now in our midst. AS
| means of showing what he can
do, McGuinness has been matched to
| fight Jack Heating, sailor, of whom
little Is known. The bout will
be put on by Jimmy Johnston at the
| st. Nicholas Rink tonight, and is
being staged in order to get a line
on McGuinness.

Manager Johnston is making it sort
of heavyweight night at ST Nick
He has arranged two other matches
between big fellows, but in one of
them he is to be disappointed. The
second bout. (which calls for Sailor
White, of this city, and Porkey Flynn
