good word for them He always speaks
pleasantly of President Wilson. He is
lever abusive, even when discussing
Wilson'S antagonism to himself. He
seems to consider President Wilson as
a mistaken person, but honest in his
mistakes. To Charge d'Affaires Mel

is always most cordial. He says he
S fond of the young American dip
,omat, and also of his countrymen, and
he takes pains to show it.
President Huerta, like President
Wilson, is waiting. He thinks he can
sire out Wilson just as Wilson thinks
ne can tire out Huerta. He has given
instructions to all his officers to pro-
tect Americans and to pay no atten-
ton to any small matters where Amer
leans may be the aggressors. He be-

others where decisions are not per-
mitted. The champion also names the
weight at which he will fight, paying
no attention to the weight limit of
his division. The weight he names is
the weight that suits him best.
Willie Ritchie, lightweight cham
pion, is one of the best examples of
the need of a boxing commission.
Richie won the title from Ad VOL
CAST on a foul on November 28, 1912.
Since that time-14 months-Ritchie
has fought but twice. His first battle
as champion was against Joe Riv-
ers, an in-and-outer, and his second
battle was with Leach Cross in New
York, where no decisions are permit
ted.
Ritchie was matched to meet Fred
die Walsh, one of the best men in his
class, but Willie cleverly ducked out
of the match. Later, because the pub
lie demanded it, he signed up to meet
Tommy Murphy of New York, re
garded by many as Ritchie's superior.
On the eve of the bout Ritchie dis
covered that something was wrong
with his sneezing apparatus and called
off the match. He was re-matched, and
again on the eve of the battle dis
covered he had some other ailment and
once. more cancelled the bout.

weight champion, has been wearing
the crown, he has been quite careful
about meeting any real foes in states

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, Feb. 2,-One of the
greatest needs in American sportdom
today is the creation of national box
ing commission, with full supervision
over every fighter and every fight club
in the country; commission empow-
cred to fix the weights for the differ
ent divisions, and one that would COM
pei champions to meet men of their
own class at regular intervals in de-
fense of their titles.
The American sporting public is dis
gusted with the tactics pursued by the
champions in the past few years; dis
gusted because instead of meeting
men who can give them real battle
in long bout, they take on fighters
of the second and third class, or when
really forced into match with top
notcher, they endeavor to have the
fight staged in some state where no
decision bouts are the rule.
The difference between the cham
pions of today and those of 20 years
ago is as great as the difference be-
tween New Zealand and Siberia. In
the old days when a man punched his
way into the championship he stood
ready to meet any man that wanted to
battle with him-and ready almost at
a moments notice.
But nowadays, when a pugilistic
person reaches the crest he suddenly
decides that he is worn out, tagged
and very, very tired. Immediately
after the fight he decides to "rest
up"-a process that usually involves
month or two. Then he grabs off a
vaudeville engagement, or two or
three engagements, if that many are
offered him.
After he has ceased to be an at
traction on the stage and the clamor
on the part of the public for him to
fight becomes so strong that it threat
ems to fracture his ear drums, he looks
around for a 'lemon," makes a match
with him and, as can be expected,
simply makes a punching bag out of
the poor boob.
In time, to silence the renewed calls
for him to fight real fighter, the
champion takes on man who stands
near the top in his class, but aims to
have the bout staged in states like
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Imperial Valley press., 1914-02-02

where decisions were given. Johnny
has been accused of being the best
little "lemon picker" on the business
because he has chosen for his oppon-
ents, for the most part, .battlers who
are not in his class.
Kibane did answer the public's plea
and battle with Johnny Dundee, of
New York, his most dangerous rival,
in 20-round bout on the coast. 1t was
called draw, although many thought
Dundee had a slight lead.
The featherweight limit is 1872, but
Kilbane has carried about 1876 pounds
in most of his battles since he beat
Attel. The lightweight limit is 1873,
vet Richie has beamed around 1876 to
1877 in his two fights since he won
from Wolgast.
A national boxing commission could
compel fighter to defend his title at
the legitimate division weight, under
a penalty of forfeiting the title. 1t
could compel champion to meet a
man in his own class every six months
or oftener, and it could prevent cham
pions, like Ritchie, from ducking out
of fights on any slight pretext.
The boxing game in this country has
grown to such proportions that it
needs governing body; it needs some
sort of commission to bring order
out of chaos and to compel fighters to
furnish the public what it demands,
and what it pays it's money for-real
fights with real foes.

Arms
Across the Border

Los Angeles Times: Reports from
Washington state that President Will
son has decided to lift the embargo
on supplying arms to the rebels along
the Mexican boundary. There is no
necessity for such action. There is no
embargo, at least from San Diego,
Cal, to Yuma, Ariz., and none can be
found who will admit there ever has
been any.
Flagrant violations of the neutral
ity laws are openly and daily being
committed in the miles of territory
that are supposed to be under patrol.
There is no patrol. Or, at least, what
there is of it is joke One cannot but
be amazed by investigation of the
laxity of the situation.
Eight guards essay the hopeless
task of preventing attempts to SNUG
gle arms and ammunition across the
line on the long stretch between San
Diego and Yuma. Eight men to pa
troll the whole California boundary.
And of these eight men, three do
office work,
1t is true there are, in addition to
the patrol mentioned, nine customs
officers.
But it is also true they have their
own duties, which are obviously
weighty enough to require their un-
divided attention.
Yet, at Fl. Rosecrans there are sew
eral hundred United States soldiers.
who are doing nothing but holding the
fort. The garrison is a necessity;
some troops must be on duty there
But if the embargo on arms is a fact
and not :. grim joke the wonder is
that the eight guards have not been
reinforced.
of the war in Mexico.
Basically, then, it appears that the
Wilson administration is deliberately
lending assistance to the Mexican
rebels.
Without arms and ammunition the
Mexican revolutions could not con-
tinue from year to year. And where,
if not through the United States, are
the munitions of war procured?
Much of the supply may come, it is
true, from abroad. But that, too, is
through the United States, through
the Big Hole in the boundary at the
base of California, by steamer and
train in the guise of machinery, and
so on, to West Coast ports and then
by auto truck to and through the Big
Hole and TO caches in the unpatrolled
hills of Lower California, where the
supplies are removed to the base and
sub-bases of military operations.
The Mexican authorities in Lower
California have no soldiers to spare.
Of the handful of Mexican federal SOL
diers on duty in Lower California few
are detailed to catch smugglers.
Lower CALIFORNIA; several garri-
sons need every man.
At Tiajuana and from United States
officials at San Diego and at other
border points, it was learned that
though there are now few or no or
ganized insurrectos in all Lower Cali
fornia, an invasion is likely to occur
sooner even than is generally expect
ed, unless rebel successes elsewhere
delay it.
That Carranza has not neglected to
finger the pulse of the residents of
Lower California, and to plant his
mines there, is emphasized by the fact
that 81 rebel officers arrived at San
Quentin recently and scattered north
and south.
