Special Correspondence of Tire Star.
MILWAUKEE, December 11.-Charies
Mathieson, the New York writer. does
not agree with the American Boxing
Association in naming Jack Dillon as
world light heavyweight champion,
and also in regard to the weiterweight
and middleweight class. Mr. Mathie-
son is correct in his statement that
Jack Dillon should not be recognized
as world champion in the light heavy
weight class. The fact is the a. y. A.
did not intend that any such impress
sion should go out, and it was a mis-
take in giving the news out that way
The a. 3. A. simply recognized Jack
Dillon as champion light heavyweight
of America and not Of the world. for 1t
is well known fact that Georges
Carpenter the French boxer, is cham
pion in that class in France and real
heavyweight champion of Europe, al
though Young Ahearn, who belongs IN
England, claims i European title in
the light heayywe eight class.
AS regards welterweights there is no
doubt that Kid Graves has been recog-
nized by a majority of writer's as the
champion OF lnat cldsS since ray Ii oi-
son retired. During the past year.
however. Willie Richie and Packey
Mcfarland entered the welterWeight
division, and it was considered only
fair that they be given chance to
work for the title, and 1t was recon-
mended that an elimination tourna-
ment be arranged so as to decide the
issue. Mr.. Mathieson's suggestion that
Graves be recognized and allowed to
defend his title against al comers
within "A short period of time is good
one, and no doubt when the association
meets again some action along those
lines will be taken.
Regarding the mddleweight class
the A. B. A. did not recognize Al Mccoy
as champion, for the reason that it was
not clear that he had ever won the
title. The fact that he defeated George
Chip and that Chip had defeated Frank
Klaus did not make Mccoy champion,
for the reason that Klaus did not hght
at the mddieweight limit in Europe,
he fought over there. Billy Papke was
recognized as champion after the death
of Stanley Ketchel and, getting right
down to cold turkey, Johnny Inohp-
son would have been champion, FOR he
defeated Papke in twenty-round con-
test in Australia. Papke did not make
the middleweight limit then. but
THOMPSON did Later, however, Thomp-
son returned home and was unable to
make the middleweight limit himself
1t was then that Jimmy Ciabby, VINO
had been defeating practically an the
middleweights he met, claimed the
championship and posted his money to
defend II against all corners. There
has been argument ever since as to
whether Clabby, Gibbons, Eddie Me-
Goorty or jeff Smith was entitled to
the honor. Jack Dillon also came in

the New Jersey challenger, at New Or
leans, over the marathon route, John
ny Ertle. the persistent claimant of st.
Paul, was putting Young Diggins to
sleep in Jig time at Philadelphia, and
Johnny Coulon, the ex-cha mpion of the
bantams, was figuring out in Chicago
how he could make a real fantastic
comeback and wrest the title from
Williams. to whom he lost two years
ago. Johnny Coulon says he will be
ready by the first of the year to meet
Ertle, and the winner can meet Will
liams in a real championship match.

who stated that Burns had the best of
the first half and Williams the last
half. 1t was evident in this fight, ac-
cording to all reports. that Williams
permitted Burns TO set the pace for the
first part. and tire himself out, when
the Kid came along on the stretch and
gave him lacing at times. but too late
to get what he was after-a verdict.
However, Williams retains his title. as
the challenger, to get It, must WIN IN a
decisive manner The weight-1ls
Williams. The Kid may have slipped
back a bit since he met and defeated
Couloa, but he is still there with
plenty of pep and plenty of steam back
of his blows. Ertle stopped Diggins in
one round, just forty-five seconds-a
record for the sleepy town of Philadel-
phia. Il may be interesting to know
that Diggins fought Williams three
times. losing in ten rounds to the
champion, once going ten rounds in a
no-decision bout, but losing the news
paper decision, and again being knock
ed out in four rounds. 1t must be
taken into consideration, however, that
when Williams met him Young Diggins
was going in much better form. but he
seems to have lost his power the last
half year, for he also was beaten in
two rounds by preliminary boy in
Philadelphia recently. 1t shows, just
the same, that Ertle is there with the
punch. and means that the St. Paul boy
and Williams should be brought to-
gether in a real title match over the
marathon route.
Jack Dillon, the Hoosier bearcat, is
just moving them down of late. Jack
gave away a bunch of weight to Perky
Flynn in Brooklyn the other night and
had all the best of the fight. Jack says
that he would be only too glad to ac-
commodate Messrs. Frank Moran and
Jim Coffey in ten-round bouts or any
other old kind of bouts. He also says
he just loves to fight the big fellows.

knowledge of the pitching art. He is
a medium-sized chap who pitches
much after the style of Clark Griffith
when he was in his prime, having
deceptive change of pace, a good curve
and enough speed to protect his other
deliveries.
II this pair of recruits continue to do

pair of youngsters who are apt to be
real winners right from the outset of
the campaign, for as rule the young
pitchers are not hampered in the early
spring, rounding into form rather rap
idly even though the weather be none
too favorable.
With Johnson, Gallia and Ayers. sea-
soned twirlers, and Harper, coming
left-hander, to rely upon, the Nationals
will be better fortified with pitchers
in the 1915 campaign than they have
been since Griffith took charge here.
