 Especial to the Farmer.1
 New York, July 8.-To-morrow fs this country's one best bet in the hol- iday hne-and as a. rule a red letter day in American pugilism. But 1914 is the exception to that rule. Here we are on the Fourth of July and nothing doing in the champi onship Hne-the first Fourth in many years that one or. more big titular battles have not been on the cards-
 don't know whether the hard times in this country or the boom the sport has developed of late in Eng land, France and Austraha--and ply of first class fighting men-is re- sponsibIe for the decline in public in terest in boxing. Something is wrong, that is sure, and suppose we will have to lay it to "business depression. Most everything out of the ordinary these days is blamed on business con- ditions, and when boxing-Am erica's most popular sport with one exoep-~ ton-doesn't flourish around July there must be some pretty good ex- cuse-for that lamentable state of af- fairs
 ed to read about the big fights these warm days English sports are getting ready for a series of classy ring en- tertainments, which will be inaugur- ated with next Tuesdays 1nternat1on- al lightweight championship contest betw cen Willie Rttchie, Americas standard bearer, and Freddy Welsh Great Britain's premier in the 1S5- pound division.
 A week later London will have an other attractive looking bout in the Gunboat th-Carpentier match Carpenter is the acknowledged Heavyweight champion of Europe an honor he annexed by defeating Eng lands pride CD Bombardier Wells, not once but on two occasions. Smith is recognized almost everywhere as the best white Heavyweight in the game-of course there are one or two, including yours truIy-Wno think that Gunboat would have an ex- ceedingly hard time proving his class over Jess WiIlard-and the one man in the game who can be considered the logical candidate for match with Jack Johnson for the championship of the world
 Sandwiched in between these two important bouts are several other in ternational events in which American boxers will play leading parts. Ev- erything considered Merry England is batting about 1000 in the pugiHstic league at this writing.

fight game in California may be fine
for civilization. but It will be pretty
fought on the fight game experts and
the real champions. When the last
twenty-round battle is fought on the
Coast II will mean that there will be
left only one place In the United
States where that length fight can be
pulled off--New Orleans.
This Will mean that there will be
vastly more championship battles"
of ten rounds length pulled off than
ever before. In ten round fight the
best title-holder that ever lived
stands more show of losing his title
than in a longer ARRAY Ten round
fights very seldom end via the sleep
