Welsh May Lose His British Title

Must Go Back Home Soon and Compete
BY T. 5. ANDREWS.

EHWAUKEE, Wis, April %
MI Freddy Welsh may lose his title
\ 4 Of champion Of Great Britain If
he refuses to go back to England next
fall and defend his championship
against the challenger selected by the
National Sporting club. The conditions
in England are vastly different from
those existing here in the states and
the patrons Of the sport across the pond
are TO be envied.
Col Dyer writes me from London re-
garding the mixup as follows; Away
back in the fall Of 1909 the boxing
championships OF England were in such
a hOpelessly muddled state that boxers
and patrons alike cried out for reform.
BY common consent the London Ma
tional Sporting club has always been
looked up to as the ruling authority Of
professional boxing on this side, though
possessing no means Of enforcing its
rules upon BOXERS and il was the club
that took the management OF British
titles in hand. The first step was
revision Of the weight, a plan that was
very necessary
The adjustments did not meet with
the approval Of the few boxers who
were deprived Of their titles BY the new
scales but the scheme was accepted by
the majority Of the boxing critics the
only objection lodged being that the
adoption Of the American scales would
have simplified the question OF worlds
titles.
Conditions Governing Belt
THE next move was to float the
L0nsdale belts that went with every
British title and II was here that the
club experienced trouble. BY the con-
ditions governing the belts they could
only change hands by consent OF the
club. which meant a monopoly Of cham
pionship bouts, a project which has
meant the loss OF a good deal Of money

In GOVERNMENT AUTOS
Post Office Department Can
cells Wagon Contracts in st.
Louis and Chicago.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Post Of
nee Department may substitute Govern
ment owned and operated automobiles
for screen wagons In use In large cities,
a service now performed under private
contract. The experiment has been tried
in Washington and Detroit, and the De-
partment yesterday cancelled existing
contracts with the Postal Transfer Com
pany OF New York, effective in ST. Louis
and Chicago, and decided to extend the
Government owned automobile service
to those cities.
The Government has estimated that
Q service which is now costing S370.000
in Chicago can be performed with auto
mobiles for s2O9, 900. not counting the
cost OF the equipment. The extra cost
the first year will be $4,000 counting
the purchase of equipment, but a Va
Eng OF $4,000 can be made the second
year. In st. Louis It liz estimated that
$50. 900 can be saved annually.
Advertisements were sent out In July
requesting bids for screen wagon SER
vice in thirty-nine cities. Awards have
been made in twenty-three cities, in
Guiding Columbus and Toledo. Ohio, and
Fort Dodge. Iowa. II is expected h a
the Government service will be intro
duced in Cincinnati n indianapolis.

B. & o. OUTLOOK GOOD.
president willard Reports Gains
in Many Branches.

An optimistic statement regarding
the traffic of the Baltimore and Ohio
and the outlook for the future was
made by Daniel Willard, president of
the road. yesterday.
"OuY August tonnage OF all kinds
was about 10 per cent. ahead OF that of
August last year." ne said. 80 far
September continues the Improvement.
While the coal traffic Is good. the gains
are mo- confined to coal. but are spread
over a wide range OF commodities. Our
surplus cars have now all been draw
into use. We had yesterday a shortage
of 100 coal cars on the entire system.
That is insignificant as a shortage. but
Il represents a decided change from the
time when a shipper who asked for one
car was quickly given Ave in the hope
that he might be Induced to a two.
Passenger traffic is still of. but pas
eenger revenue for August may not
look so bad when the final figures are
made up as that item did previously. I
should not be surprised II the Septem~
her passenger earnings were almost or
quite up to last years. 1t was just a
year ago hat we lost the Immigrant
traffic, which meant $500, 900 a year to
the Baltimore and Ohio, so that here.
after comparison will not be made with
the figures which contained those earn
fngs."
