Memorial to Sullivan.

New York. Oct. 24.-New Jersey may
be the first State to establish a perma.
nent memorial 10 James +. Sullivan by
naming an athletic field after him. Rep
resentative Murray Hubert, who lived in
Greenville al the same time Sullivan did.
suggested yesterday that the Reservoir
Playground, on which the memorial
games were held. be called Sullivan Park
hereafter. The idea was approved by
several of Jersey Citys public men and
the matter will be brought before the
commissioner

is for Williams I am going to make him
an offer which he cannot well afford to
sidestep II he has any confidence in his
ability. He has no claim to the bantam
weight championship OF the world for
several reasons. but first OF all. l want
to tell the public what I am willing to
do for the ST. Paul boy.
Il will bet him $500 that Williams will
knock him out IL they meet before jan
uary /. The only conditions are that the
weight be 1l5 pounds. the legitimate han
tam-weight limit; that the mill be sched-
uled for twenty rounds. and that the win
ner take everything. l want no odds
The bet is good at even money: that 5
just what think OF Ertle's chances.
IF any promoter can get him into the
ring with Williams there will be no trou-
Bile made by me over the terms. But l
know Ertle will not box. He doesn't know
anything about boxing. Williams knock
ed him down three times in the fourth
round and once in the third. Every time
he was hit his seconds yelled foul
Ertle cannot ignore Williams much
longer in the face of the foregoing de-
fiance II ne does he will meet with uni
versal cenSure.
The contest between Mandot and Lewis
will be sIoseIy followed by ring patrons
because these sprightly iSl-pOundcrs are
hot on the trail Of Champion Welsh and
one of them is likely to land the first
twenty-rOund title scrap with the Briton
Mandot appears to have the inside track
as New Orleans promoters have offered
generous terms TO both men. Nandot is
especially favored because he is a product
Of the Crescent City and highly regarded
by boxing followers there. II the bout
is arranged it probably will be staged in
December.

sion contests of twenty rounds each Ac-
lcording to Pollok. Welsh considers that
there are four lightwelghts active in the
game today, who are worthy and entitled
10 consideration in the struggle for the
title. He will take these four on in the
order in which the boxing public de-
mands: make matches with them. one
at time. and accept the best offers OBJ
tainable from the promoters who are in
a position 70 stage championship contests
Pollok says further that Welsh has
been unfairly criticized for his failure
TO engage in decision contests hereto
fore but the reason for that was due
10 the fact that Freddie thought him
self entitled to reap the rewards OF the
crown for which he paid so dearly.
Pollok claims that the championship
cost Welsh $4,000 in cold cash. BY what
form of accounting Welsh has arrived at
his conclusion. neither Pollok nor the
champion say. II is generally known that
Welsh did not make n cent out OF the
match with Richie at London. but II did
not cost the Briton a penny either. as
his expenses were paid by the promoters.
Ritchle had eXacted terms that left little
for the club and nothing for Welsh. The
latter rightly reasoned. however. that IL
he beat the then reigning champion he
would he in position later to gather in
the chance. Developments since that time
have demonstrated the good Judgment
that Welsh used. Since the victory over
Richie. Welsh has earned, through no
decision contests, a sum estimated to
be- In the neighborhood Of 10000
or the scores of contests that he en-
gagged In. only two were decision
bouts, both in Boston. one with Matty
Baldwin. the other with Fred Yelle

giving Welsh zeal fight. so the cham
pion was not taking much OF a chance
in agreeing to a decision match with
them. Shen more dangerous oppon-
ents were chosen for Welsh the cham
pion was careful in making the
matches at places where decisions were
not permitted.
Welsh may think he has been I'M
justly censured. but the patient public
does not. 1t has made Welsh wealthy.
but the fans now are souring on the
champion and 1t has come to the point
where Welsh will have to engage in
a championship match or lose his pres
tige. Welsh must be seeing the light.
His decision to defend his title in
n twenty-round bout naturally forces
that conclusion.
Sporting writers all over the country
are laying the lash of criticism across
the sturdy SHOULDERS of Johnny Ertle,
because. forsooth. the st. Paul mite is
studiously ignoring all overtures and
challenges from Kid Williams for a
return match to definitely settle the
question of supremacy.
Ertle IL will be remembered. is pos

ALL Good ORDER Cars
NOW IN Use BY ?. R. R.

All good order freight cars on the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad lines both east
and west Of Pittsburgh are now at
work helping to earn dividends for
the stockholders. On January of
this year there were 46,O55 Of these
good order freight cars completely
idle The fact that this large number
of cars is now at work is striking
evidence of the great improvement
which has taken place in traffic on
the Pennsylvania Railroad lines this
year.
The lines East sin have 1862 shop
cars in storage ana on the lines West
the total is 1921, an aggregate Tor
the system of 80 ,S63 cars, but these
cars are being repaired and placed
in service as rapidly as possible. Ine
number Of shop cars has been gradu-
ally reduced during the last lew
weeks and present indications are
that the system will have to rush re-
pairs on these cars to meet the IN
creasing demand for equipment Tor
freight moving purposes. On Janu-
ary 4 the number Of idle shop cars
was 39.96S, and the current report
a as of September z, shows decrease
OF 7125 cars in the shops.

DEMAND NOW FOR
FULL MEASURE GROCERIES

Since William J. Mcknight, sealer
of weights and measures, prosecuted
a number of bakers for selling light
weight bread, he now intends to
prosecute short-measure grocers. Mr..
Mcknight has conhscated a large
number of false measures recently
including four quarts. found in one
grocery store.
A number of Wilmington house
wives have formed a society TO test
the weights Of lard. butter, rice, coffee
and cheese.
A movement will be started at once
TO have the next Legislature pass a
law authorizing the sealers Of weights
and measures to test all weights in
stores.
