OF RING !.
Meehan and Christian Refuse
to Fight and. Referee
Stops Contest

Because White Hope Willie Meehan
refused to fight Black Hope George
Christian at the Pavilion rink last
stopped the farce in the fourth round
and declared it no contest. The ring
official made big hit for himself by
his action, for as early as the first
period the fans were yelling stop itr'
The stalling tactics of Meehan
came as a great surprise, for he al
ways has been noted for his ability
to tear in and his willin gness TO mix
things up with any of them Meehan
complained of being sick. but the
fans refused to stand for this excuse.
He jumped into the ring hog Eat and
sadly out of condition and evidently
figured on stalling his way through.
The big negro showed a good
knowledge of the boxers art and pos
sibly he might have made respect
able showing had he been given the
chance. But Meehans simply would
not fight All he did was swing his
arms and hold on. while the crowd
hissed and yelled its disapproval.
The chances are that Meehan win be
consigned to the debris heap.
FANS ARE ON THEIR TOES
Johnny Sodenberg and Tom NICK
ola, the middle weights, more than
gave the crowd its moneys worth in
the special event. They stood toe to
toe for four rounds and banged away.
Such a mixup has not been seen in a
local ring for months. Although
neither man scored a knockout, both
landed all sorts of wallops clean to
the Jaw and were willing to come
back for more.
With a little more caution Soden-
berg might have won. He outboxed
his man. but he was too anxious to
wade In and try for Knockout
Nickola is a dangerous puncher and
he always laid for Sodenberg to come
at him. When Johnny did come, Tom
would hammer away at him and
Johnny would retaliate, and in this
way they kept the fans on their toes
all the time.
The other middle weights, Sailor
Grande of Vallejo and Otto Berg OF
the northwest, also stepped to draw.
This was vicious fight each man
boring in all the time and trying for
a Knockout. However they clinched
too much, and the result was that
neither was able to slip over a telling
blow. The decision looked like a very
fair one.

p The recent utterances Of President
Kirby of the A A u. advising the
dropping of the bars which at present
forbid an amateur competing with a
professional athlete has found some
supporters in this locality
James Edward Rogers, delegate to
the Pacific association from the Aca-

and has expressed himself as being
opposed to any stand that President
Elliott has taken on behalf of the Pa

consulting the delegates of that body
In reply to Rogers. President Ell

be- convinced that Kirby is right in
his contentious. but fails to see how
any man with the interests of anna

lines of President Kirby or Delegate

Elliott Is also of the opinion that If a

he has done. Ellfptt considers that
Rogers attitudes as representing
schoolboy athletes: is the worst stand
that could ever be taken and will

no CURB NOISE MANIAC.
Writer in Motor Car Journal Would
Make Unlawful Needless Blow
ing of Auto Horns.

NEW YORK. April 2S.-A writer in
the May issue of Motor" out today
says too little thought in the franz
ing of automobile laws has been given
TO reduction of noise and prevention
OF accidents through the proper reg
ulation of automobile warning signals.
In discussing the problem from a
standpoint of noise. the author de-
clsres that only small element
among motorists misuse their signals.
Some offenders err through thought
lessness or carelessness but the ma
jority of those who make unnecessary
NOISE with their signals arc OF the
same type AS the ioy-rider; and like
him ought to be suppressed at every
opportunity without the great major
fly of law-abiding sutomobilists being
made to suffer for their sins.
"ln the past two years there has
been an active campaign in progress
to regulate the use of automobile
warning signals; to legally demand
the use of adequate signals and to
restrict the use of such signals ex-
rept as warnings of danger.
"The failure of motorists to use
Signals in their true function gives
a wrong impression TO the non-mo-
toring public which is largely in the
majority. Motorists should learn the
. results of misusing their warning
signals. II is equally necessary that
the non-motOrist should understand
that the misuse Of warning signal
IN no way detracts from the general
benefit of such a signal when il is
properly used. Once this fact is un-
derstooC many of the disturbing con-
ditions that constantly operate to Gre
ate antagonism between motorist and
non -motorist would be removed.
"From time to time the question is
raised can automobile drivers be
taught to use their signal prolerly?
Most drivers do this very thing The
trouble is the deliberate nolse-mak-
er makes so much noise he gives the
impression that far greater number
of persons misuse their signals than
arc guilty of the offnse. The remedy
lies in the vigorous punishment of
the noise maker of<unnecessary noise
as a disturber of the peace
