WILL DEFEND HIS
TITLE To NIGHT
Bantamweight Champion Meets
Young Siinnet in Scheduled
Ten-Round Bout at Racine.
By Tad

u ACME, WIS, Jan. 21.-Johnny
N Coulon, bantamweight cham
pion of the world. will be
asked to defend his title tonight.
Johnny is scheduled to meet Young
Sinnet, a youngster in the game. and
the bout is billed to go ten rounds
The scrap Is expected to prove a
good try-out for the champion, who
has been out of the game for over
six months. Johnny, however, states
that he is now ready to defend his
laurels and is out to prove tonight
That he is as good as ever.
Coulon has been working hard for
the past two weeks, and fans who
have watched him train claim that
johnny looks every part the cham
pion he is. The stocky little fellow
has the same red color in his face
that he had in the days of his ring
battles with Burns, Conley and the
rest
Although not much is known Of
Sinnet, the youngster comes with
good reputation from Chicago. Sin
net has not had many battles in his
career, but ne is said to be a young
ster with very much class. He will
be handled by Tommy Walsh or
Nate Lewis.
The boys have agreed to make 1l6
pounds ringside, but neither will have
any trouble making the poundage.
johnny says he tips the beam at ia,
while Sinnet never weighs. more than
115. Coulon rules a 3-to-1 favorite
over his opponent Fans are wager
ing 5 10 that Johnny stops his OPP
ponent before the tenth round.

weight, has wired a challenge to Pro-
moter Wagner to meet the winner.

w Murphy is responsible for
the organization of the Fed
eral League. The president Of the
Chicago National League club is to
blame for the large number of ma
jor league baseball players who are
jumping to the outlaw organization"
These statements were made last
night by Frank Chance, manager of
the New York American League club
and formerly manager of the Chi
Cago Cubs.
"Charley Murphy" said Chance,
has done more to hurt baseball than
any other man who has been in the
game and he is going to continue to
be an Objectionable figure just so long
as he is allowed to have any con-
nection with any club.
"A lot of my friends said | was
crazy two years ago when | sold my
stock in the Chicago National
League club. | sold my interest for
$4,000, and fifty persons who knew
me well came to me and remon-
strated at what they termed rash

season He only played a few games
that season.

49, BY GEORGE {. PHAIR~
ORGANIZED BASEBALL.

ORGATNlZED BASEBALL
Organized baseball is form of phi
lanthropy instituted for the purpose of
keeping the wolf from the club own
er's door.
In the last ten years the wolf has
not approached within twenty seven
miles of the club owners door. This
is due 20 the fact that wolf once met
a club owner. The wolf now hesitates
to approach within hailing distance of
the owners door, lest tne owner come
out and inveieIe "im into buying
gold brick.
Organized baseball has kept the
player in the bonds of slavery. 1t has
srasped him out of foundry, where
he has been shoveine black sand for
$272 per diem, and shanehaied him
to a cruel hotel in Florida. where the
barbarous waiter leaves a few seeds
in the grapefruit and the night clerk
raises a superciious smile when you
inform him that there was no rose
water in your bawth this morning.
We feel for the ball ~ayer who has
been trapped into organized baseball.
He is a slave for life. All he can do
is to eamboI around for approximate
!y three hours every day at bank
presidents salary and be housed in
hotels where he is treated as a COM
mon millionaire.
Then there is the dark side to tins
bright picture. We once knew fin
ancier who had thrived for years on
the theory that yokeI could not des-
ienate the particular shell under
which the little pill was hoain" forth
at that time.
He throve and throve on the yokels
until he waxed rich. Whereupon a
stranger approached him, saying; -
have baseball franchise which
would sell at cost price"
But the three shell man answered
him, saying: LAY off, kind sir; ! am
wilma to separate a man from his
kaIe, but ! don't believe in walking
on his esophagus while do 1t!
The report that George Wiltse has
refused a Federal League offer Will be
news to George when he returns -
America on or about March b.
Joe Tinker and Charlie Ebbets
shook hands when they met. THIS
is due to the fact that neither had
pair of brass knuckles handy

IAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Eli never
will forget that battle with
Cross. 1t was one of the hard
est that | ever fought, and therefore
it will linger in my mind as long as
| stay with the boxing game. He
proved a surprise to me, because ]
Thought that [ would find him
clever careful boxer, but instead he
showed himself to be a whirlWind
mixer.
It was my first start in New York,
and ! realized that ii would be up to
me to make good right off the reel.
They did not give me credit for being
a champion back there. They said
that I was lucky, that l could not hit,
and that | was afraid of the tough
ones. These remarks stung me hard,
and so / determined to show them.
The battle started and Cross tore
right at me He looked like a man in
despair. He kept swinging his rigN
hand and playing for my body with
his left. The big crowd cheered, for
it thought the New York boy would
surely topple me over and bring home
the lightweight title.
| quickly saw that | would have TO
fight Cross if | hoped to win the bat
tie. My reputation was at stake, and
there was no chance for me to get
away with Cross by clever boxing
SO | just clinched my teeth and made
up my mind to wade in and fight him
toe to toe. | gave him all the rough
stuff ! had and he came right back
al me. The first round ended in a

That round made good for me. I
had many a booster IN the house
when we toed the scratch for the sec
ond. Cross came after me with some
more of his swings and ! stepped in
and began to fight him as hard as |
could. And, believe me, ! found Leach
to be one of the foxiest fighters |
ever met He seemed to have every
thing.
| think that ! had slight edge in
both these rounds, but ! made the
real big hit in the third when | sent
Cross to the floor for the count of
nine with a right hand punch to the
jaw. | really thought that | had him,
and | must confess that | lost my
head. for otherwise | know, away
down deep in my heart, that | would
have knocked him out.
! can still hear the great crowd in
Madison Square Garden cheering
when | shot in that punch. Cross
got up wabbly, and | started right
after him. But he managed to clinch
very cleverly, and ! was SO excited
that ] could not manage to shake him
off
Leach was weak and groggy for the
balance of the round, and my friends
kept urging me on to finish him up

could not get clean punch at him to
