Champ Williams Seems to
Be On Downward Grade

Philadelphia. Pa. Dec. 1i.-Kid Will
liams has hit the toboggan. After
basking in the white light that beats
upon a pugilistic throne for more than
year. little Johnny Gutenko. the han
tam champion. seems to have hit the
downward grade. In the opinion of
New York scribes. the Kid already is
an ex-champion. and they proclaim
Johnny Ertie titIehoIder on the
strength of the Kewpie's victory of a
foul.
since the St Paul battle williams
was noored by Pal Moore. a youngyter
who did not show the least semblance
OF a hard wallop I'm a local bout. and
then frankie Burns, veteran OF
many years in the boxing game, held
the Baltimorean to n twenty-round
draw. The prevalent suspicion that
williams Is slipping is based on his
last three fights.
Williams passed his ED birthday
last Sunday. and at that age he ought
to be steadily improving; but this
doesn't seem to be the case. In former
days Williams usually won his con-
tests by SO wide a margin that ex-
plantations and aLSbis were totally un-
necessary-except for the opposition.
Since he attained championship laurels.
Williams, IL mas been said. has been
showing signs OF swollen dome, and
1t is as true now as ever that pride
goeth before swift kick
Although Johnny Kilbane is by no
means the classiest featherweight
ever. Williams was not we'll advised
when he went up against him in that
memorial battle here on March IL. This
match. In which Williams received a
neat trouncing. was the Kids previous
setto to his go with ErtIe. In which
bout Williams showed his first signs
of sliding.
III Williams really is slipping, per-
haps the principal reason is his am
bition to shine as Knockout king
He wanted to be miniature Hercules,
and in his process OF muscular deyoIp-
ment he has sacrificed much of his
former science and speed. To all out
ward appearance thes Kid today is
much slower than he was a year ago.
His muscles bulge much bigger than
before. but while this may be very
nice for Photographic purposes. il
doesn't help much against clever
opponent.

Independent Grid Classic
Staged at Park Today.
Double-header Will Put Vigi-
lants-Engineers and Mo-

ELIMINATION FOR TITLE

The biggest independent gridiron classic
ever staged here with interest entirely
local is scheduled for this afternoon
at vigilant Park at Fifteenth and II
street northeast. The elimination of two
Of the four candidates for the District
championship will be seen before sun
down, and from the interest in the dif-
ferent sections of the city shown by tho
fans Of the sand-lot game. the largest
crowd in the history of the sport will
no doubt be on hand
In the big attraction of the afternoon
the Vigilants will meet the Engineers
from Washington Barracks. The Bridge
Builders are the present titleholders,
having landed the championship last sea-
against the big. W. team. Followers oil
the Independent games remember this
battle last season when the gridiron at
the Visilant Park was nothing but water
and mud and how these elevens fought
through one hour of line-plunging. as
booting the ball and end running was
impossible.
Although the Bridge Builders and the
Nigilants have always furnished the
classic for the followers of the game.
this season the fans are showing as
much interest in the ability of two other
teams. namely, the Mohawks and Ma
tionals. These clubs play the first game
and the winner will be pitted against the
winner of the Engineer-Vigilant battle
next Sunday for the District title. This
is the second meeting of these teams. as
two weeks ago they battled to TO 0
tie and furnished the fans some real sport
In this hotly-fought battlA
Not much is known of the strength
of the Washington Barracks eleven as
they have been in camp all fall in
Pennsylvania and not much of a line
can be obtained on the class of teams
they defeated in Western Pennsyl
vania. In the one game which they
played here the Empire Athletic Club
proved easy victims. and since that
contest they have been training hard
for this battle with the Vigilants to-
day.
The Big eleven is out to regain
the title and have been working hard
overtime in an effort to be in tip-top
shape. Coach Palmer Derby has been
driving the team all week and the
candidates are ready for the hardest
game of their career. The same eleven
which lined up against the Youngstown
team two Sundays ago in the big inter-
sectional game in Ohio. will face the
Bridgebuilders today.
The first game is slated to start
promptly at o'clock sharp. while
the Vigilant-Engineer battle will fol-
low. Calnan of Georgetown will ref
cree, Fury, of Georgetown, will UNI
pire and Morris of the Maryland
Aggies will act as the head linesman.
