go ahead with the fifteen round bout or
call it off. IS they pleased. 1t does not
look right, after making title match for
fifteen rounds to try and force CLANCY
into a six-round contest
There is no reason why Messrs. Kill
bane and Dunn should object to the club
running the show now, as they knew who
was behind it when they first made the
match. AS to the referee, Billy Recap. he
was their own selection, and it is certain
that they could not raise finger against
Mr.. Rocap's honesty in the ring. Johnny
kilbane would have done much better to
have gone through with the match as
originally arranged. even though he
would not have pocketed lot of money
by doing so. 1t would have shown that
Kilbane was sportsman first and all
the time.
If Kilbane refuses to go through with
the match Clancy will have a splendid
claim to the title by forfeit 1t Is to be
regretted that Kilbane should take such
course, for the fans always have held
him in high esteem as champion. even
though they have criticised him from
time to time for his actions in the ring.
Considerable comment has been go
garding the wonderful boxing stunts
Of the Kentucky Rosebud, known in
private life as Walter Edgerton. a
clever colored boxer. who is supposed

against John Lester Johnson. another
colored boxer (aged foEty-three years.
the Rosebud knocked him cold in three
rounds. The colored wonder is not
sixty-five years of age, as given out.
otherwise he must have been around
the forty-five-year mark when he was
supposed to be in his prime and fight
ing against such boys as the late
George Dixon, bantamweight cham
pion, Young Critic, solly. Smith, Joe
Cans and others. 1t was from 1891 to
about 1896 that the Rosebud was at
his best and reports of the fights those
days would indicate that he was then
about twenty to twenty-five years of
age. That would bring him near to
the y-five-year mark now, possibly
forty-Six or forty-Seven, but not sixty-
five as stated
Another colored fighter just as re-
markable, and even more so, is Dixie
Kid. still fighting in England. and who
is around the fifty-year mark Dixie.

and it is all the more wonder that he
Is still able to put up fifteen or twenty
round battles against boxers of youth
and strength. Bob Fitzsimmons was
an exception to the rule as regards
age of fighters, for Bob was fighting at
his best when he was near the thirty
hVe-year mark, a time when most of
the fighters of today are either down
and out or very much passe The trou-
BILE with fighters nowadays is that they
start too young instead of waiting I'M
til muscles and flesh are more set
when they can stand the strain much
better. the result being that they begin
to go back at a time when thew sho1ld

With the passing OF this splendid
event into history is recorded the fore
most and perhaps the only master
chess tournament of the year 1916. as
there seems little likelihood that the
proposed Havana tournament VIII ma

dead in Europe.
Two local events of more than pass
ing interest were held during the past
week. The Georgetown Chess Club
scored a well earned victory over a
team from the bureau of animal indus

delivered an interesting lecture on the
openings to the Y. NJ. c. A. chess en-

Mr.. Fox, the local master. whose

members of the Washington Chess and

of this event and analyses of some OF
the most brilliant games played.

real battles. In a game at Boston in

peculiar situation arose. 1t was in
the first game, which Detroit won, to
1. Late in the game Pitcher Mays
caused Cobb to drop to the ground to
escape being hit. Cobb was positive
that Mays was trying to dust him
off," that it was not lack of control.
AS the second wild pitch whizzed by,
Cobbs bat whiZZed through the air in
the direction of the pitchers box.
Pitcher Mays managed to get out of the
way. He recovered the bat and with a
broad grin walked to the plate and de-
livered the bat to Cobb, at the same
time making some remarks to Tyrus.
1t was evident that Ty was mad. 1t
was also apparent that Mays was not.
Cobb was silent, Mays was talkative.
How nice of Mays to recover the bat
and return it to Cobb and not be sore
because Cobb had thrown his bat. Most
of the crowd wondered what Mays said
to Cobb. good many figured it was
some word of reproof. Here is what
Mays did say to Tyrus as he handed
him the bat:
Get ready to duck again. Ty." and
that is just what Ty tried to do. but
the ball struck him on the arm and
he walked to first. although not thor
oughly pleased. with the situation.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
MILWAUKEE,, February 1.-THE
purse of $S7.5O0 which Tex Richard is
putting up for the Jess Willard Frank
Moran ten-round contest in New
York, March II, has started the boxing
fans gossiping from Maine to Califor-
MIA. 1t is an unheard-of price for a
ten-round no-decision contest, and
there are many skeptical persons who
are of the belief that it will not do the
boxing game any good. OF course. 1t
remains to be seen, but one thing is
certain--it will put fancy figures into
the minds, of fighters throughout the
country and make it very hard mat
ter for promoters to do business with
the champions and near champions. .
AS to the fight itself. that can be
dwelt upon later on. but there is no
doubt that the men will go into it for
all they are worth. as they would not
care attempt to simply box through
ten rounds. 1t would ruin Willard as
a drawing card during his tour with
the wild west show and 1t would put
an end to Moran as htgh-class heavy
weight.
1t is hard to figure out where Mr..
Richard expects to make great deal
OF money out of the match. 1t may be
that the figures are stretched bit,
but one thing is certain, Richard is
paying $4,000 to Willard and the other
Willard and Jones as a bonus. Mr.
