System Docking Pay of Fl ghter Discovered shamming
Is Advocated by Referee in Suggestion that Referees
Be Given Same Powers as Ball Game Umpires;
Charlie White Is Eng aging in Many Bouts.
BY t. $. ANDREWS.

4, fore the Auditorium club Of Milwaukee
February % last Since that time
Charlie has had eight battles and five
OF them have resulted in knockouts to
his credit
The men whom he stopped were:
sam Robideau, Eddie Murphy. Hal
Stewart. Fred Yelle and Charlie
Thomas In addition he boxed ten
round bouts with Leach Cross, Jimmy
Duffy and Charlie Thomas. The knock
out Of Robideau was a big surprise 20
the Philadelphia boys admirers. who
considered him a near-champion; In
fact Robideau since then has defeated
some very good boys himself.
Considers TeIIe the Hardest.
Hal Stewart proved tough customer
and so did Murphy, but White claims
Fred Yelle. Charlie says that Yelle.
who is a youngsterr is not only clever,
but a hard hitter with either hand.
Thomas gave White a hard battle in
Philadelphia for six rounds, but when
they FLASHED at Boston the other night
the Chicago lad outclassed him
II Whites performances do not en-
title him to a championship match now
with Freddy Welsh. then he had better
give uD the idea entirely Charlie
should also be matched with Willie
Richie over the Marathon route for the
american championship, which Ritehie
still claims.
Why Not Britton. Too.
There Is only one mark against Char
lie White since he entered the light
weight class-that one a detoat in IS
rounds at the hands OF Jack Britton in
New Orleans in 1913. Why not White
and Britton for a big match? Both
claim the right to challenge for the
lightweight crown. It would prove an
interesting match, especially over the
20 round course
WOIgast Is Going Good.
Ad Wolgast. the little Michigan bear
cat. has evidently made a real come
back, at least for n time. Following
his hard 10 round bout in Milwaukee
with Richie Mitchell the former cham
pion went east and tackled that tough
lightweight, Leach Cross. and put Up
a sensational contest Not content with
rushing matters, Ad signed up imme-
dlately with Young White at Appleton.
Wis, for 10 round bout. June 9, and
he showed that his hands are IN pretty
fair shape by knocking out the rough
and ready Oshkosh lad in seven rounds
Wolglst plans another invasion Of |
the the east and may sign up with Johnny |
WiesmanteL promoter o. the big club |
In Brooklyn, for the early part Of July, I
possibly the big holiday date. Ad /
needed plenty OF road work to put his
wind right and that Is what ne has |
been doing Of late, besides keeping up /
Freddy Andrews
One thing the fans may always be /
sure of-they get run for their money /
every time Wolgast gets into the ring. /
and that is more than they can hope /
for with many OF the socalled stars 1
these days. What n marvel the little j
fellow would be II his hands were 10 be /
relied upon at all times!
Ad says his one ambition is 70 set L
Willie Richie into another match, &C Il
he cannot be convinced that he is not 4
the master Of the California boy who i
won the title from him on foul Ad /
is also anxious to have another crack
at Freddy Welsh over the 10 round
route.
Lozdon Drops Boxing Game.
According to late edvices from the
other side Of the Atlantic, the boxing
game has about closed for the summer
in London, while in Paris there Is
nothing doing in that line at all. In a /
letter Of May 80 my correspondent, ]
Edward Dyer, says:
The big match Of the month vas
the one between Owen Moran ana Lew
for the featherweighS title, |
which was won by Edwards. as I prs-
dicted, although some OF the betting
men favored Moran Bernhard or Wells /
has coined the army and goes to the .
front. so there will be no WeIls-Frank I
Moran battle, as had been talked of.
Dick Burge. the promoter and AT one !
time champion. who fought Jack Nc
Auliffe here, has also Joined one of the
regiments. Pat O'Keefe. the middle

Dur best boxers for the regiment he
has Joined, so there is liable to be a
shortage Of good boxers here
Jack Johnson is back in Paris and
wired here that he is coming over to
London, but I don't think the public
will give him much OF a reception.
they have not been any too strong for
him in the past year or two. There
Is talk that he will try to get into
vaudeville. which would be more suit
ID TO him. for the fellow Is really

season, about the latter part Of October. !
