BOXING NOTES

It is possible that the mix-up regard ing the welterweight division will be settled during the present year. al- though there is nothing certain about it at this time. It is still in a chaotic condition, the same as the middle weight class. However, since Ray Bronson announced his retirement from the ring. there appears to be. a chance to bring about a match which will result in the recognition of an American welterwait champion. Bron- son laid claim to the title over a year ago and was prepared to defend it against all corners. Late last fall he went to Australia and discovered, af- ter. having two fights. that he was not the Bronson of old and wisely de- cided to retire from the ring. As a result of this, Kid Graves has put in "a claim for the title and. it is a just EpnesGfWriting from Brooklyn, N. :, Graves has this to say:
 Having noticed that Bronson has retired, it appears to me that the Ewelterwait title lays between Wild cat Ferns and myself, and I will be only to glad to settle the matter in the ring and have a recognized cham pion off the class. I wish you would announce for me that am issuing a challenge to Ferns to contest for the we1teryveight championship at 145 poundsJringside, or 142 pounds at three o'clock. This is the legitimate Amer ican weight and am ready to put up any amount of money as side wager and also a forfeit to make the match and decide Sthe title There may be others who have a claim to it the same as we have but think from past records that we are the ones best entitled to compete for the Championship. If Ferns declines to meet me, then I am prepared to claim the title and defend it against any welterweigfnt in the game, except coiored fighters. I will post a. for felt with you or any one you may name at any time.
 Yours very truly,
 KID GRAVES"
 The statement of Graves is a very fair one and will go a long way to- wards settling the much-mooted ques- ton. There is a little difference of weight between American and for eign classes, the American being 142 pounds at three o'clock and the for eign 147 pounds. However, if an American champion can be decided upon, it is very likely that a match can easily be arranged with the title holder of Great Britain and Australia Ito bring about a worlds champion.

WOMEN CAUGHT

 AT NEW LONDON
Narrow Escapes From Injuries When 4,OOO See Opening
 Game.

M
 New London, Ct. April 29-Near1y 4, 900 fans saw Pittsfe1d defeat New London, 1 to O, yesterday afternoon at Plant field in a game devoid of excitement. New London managed to get men as far as second base on seven occasions and to third only twice while Pittshe1d worked run ners to second base three times, after Bridges scored the only run of the through the nine innings with the boxman. Troy gave up six hits while Daniels was found safely five times.
 Several women had narrow escapes from injury when the 2,000 or more outside the fence surged forward. As the gates were opened, the women nearest the fence were pinned against it. Quick action on the part of the policemen on duty saved them from a possible tramp1ing. They were pulled through the gates bodily by the of fcers.
 Morton F. Plant was presented by New London fans with a massive flor al horseshoe, in the construction Of which over 60 dozens of red roses were used. Attached to the gift was the inscription, ITO the commodore from the fans of New London" He ex- pressed his appreciation In a few words as soon as he was able to make himself heard above the cheering

 GAMNITZs GALL DOWN
1Snorting NeWs.l

Old Honus Wagner does not say much at any time or at any place. but he handed Howard Camnitz, the old time Pirate and now Federal League recruit, a rather severe call down re- gently. Meeting Camnitiz on the street in Hot Springs, Ark, the vet eran was going to pass his old pitcher by when Camnitz stopped him and in- sisted on knowing what was the mat ter.
 .I'n tell you. said the Dutchnaan. CT had nothing to say when heard you had jumped. for that was your own business. Even when heard you were trying to get older men to join I felt that it was strictly up to them. But let me give you tip: Let the young fellows alone. They have reputation to make and a fu- ture in front of them. Give them 9 chance and don't lead them astray. It is every man for himself in this game
