WILL ASK COUNCIL FOR
BATH HOUSE APPROPRIATION
Mayor Wants Two or Three Hundred
For That Purpose

Mayor Hopkins stated to a News
representative yesterday that at the
meeting Of city council Monday night
he will ask for an appropriation OF
two or three hundred dollars with
which to erect a public bath house at
the eastern foot OF Gloucester street
Since the announcement was made
in The News several days ago that
the mayor favored the erection of
puelic bath house for the people of
the city generally, the plan has been
generally endorsed and it is more
than probable that council will make
the necessary appropriation.

doubtful If Dillon ever can get down
even as low as 16O pounds. Clabby's
chlef claim to the title is based on the
fact that he has beaten such star box
ers @ as Eddie McGoorty, George Chip,
Billy Murray and Mike Gibbons. The
only blotch on Clabby's escutcheon
was plastered there by one jeff Smith
OF Jersey In far away Australia last
summer Smith was given credit for
having beaten Clabby on points in IA
20-round tussle. Clabby contends that
he was not in the best of shape for
that match. due to the fact that he
held Smith too cheaply, and he is
eager now for a rematch to wipe out
the stain of that trouncing. Jimmy
hopes to get the chance before long.
So far as the weltcrweight class is
concerned it looks as if this one time
notable division of pugiIism is passing
into oblivion. The reason for this is
attributed to the lack of high class
performers. There are fewer good
welters than is the case in any other
classification. At the present time
Kid Graves Of Philadelphia and Mike
Glover OF Boston are looked upon as
the best boys among the 142-pounders
and many critics contend that Graves
is the nearest approach to the legiti-
mate champion.

Three Years, and The

Judging from the downfall of

that IL generally takes about thrcc
ycars for championship club to
"crack." II Is also evident that u
champion team can bluff It's way
through its own circuit for
tlnal flag, mainly because 1t has
the prestige and knows the weak
ness of the rival teams, and that
IL takes club Of the opposing

never realize that the old steam

TWO PUGILISTS LOST TITLES IN 1914;
WELSH AND WILLIAMS GRABS CROWNS .

With the approach of the end of
1914 the broad browed sporting writ
ers are beginning to sum up the note
worthy events that have featured in
the past IL months in the domain of
pugilism.
of history making happenings is the
fact that only two ring champion
ships have changed hands.
Willie Ritchie has been stripped Of
his lightweight toga and the crown
now adorns the curly pate of slim
limbed Freddie Welsh of Wales.
Kid Williams. a heavy handed Dane
of Baltimore, has succeeded Johnny
Coulon as the reigning ruler of the
midgets in pugilism. Williams, won
the bantam championship when he
stopped Coulon with a punch in the
third round of their scheduled 20
round contest at Los Angeles June Q
last
AS far as the other ring classitica-
tions are concerned the situation is
practically unchanged from what it
was when 1914 dawned.
Jack Johnson still is the king among
the heavyweights and his rule is likely
to continue indefinitely. There is seri-
Gus talk of u championship match be-
tween Johnson and Jess Willard, but
so far the negotiations have not pro-
grcsscd beyond the signing Of articles.
Jack Curlcy. famous as a wrestling
promoter: Tom Jones. manager Of
Willard, and two or three eastern
sporting men are interested in the
plan to bring about a title bout be-
tween the big smoke and the giant
Kansas and it is possible that they
may succeed in staging the match
before many more months elapse.
Right now the men In the project are
looking for fertile spot in which to
put on the bout.
Concerning the probable outcome of
such match public opinion is widely
at variance. 1t is the general belief
that johnson has wasted his strength
through loose ha bits of life, and many
experts are freely predicting that the
first sturdy, youthful opponent that
faces Lii Artha' will beat him with
out trouble. Whether Willard is the
man destined to bring back the cham
pionship to the white race is an open
subject for debate Willard is giant
both in stature and strength and his
punching power is tremendous. but in
the science of boxing he is merely a
raw novice. True he is showing signs
of Improvement in each succeeding
contest, but even at his present day
development he would be no equal
match for Johnson, if the black cham
pion were anywhere near the form he
enjoyed four years ago. The doubt
that prevails over Johnson's condition
