A later press report from Mexico City saying For eign Minister Aguilar had denied re- ports that the de facto government had taken or planned to take any action to prevent addition American expeditions from crossing the border in pursuit of raiders, served further to indicate that the Scott -Obregon plan was approved by General CarranZa.

The question asked most In pugiIis-
TIC circles is: WAS John L. Sullivan
ever champion Of the wOrld?" This
has been answered TN the affirmative
as well as the negative, noted critics
aisagreeing as to whether or not Sui
liyan really held the title. Tom An
drews OF Milwaukee, a well-knoWnl
sporting authority, declares Sullivan
was in reality the champion. An
drews burrowed into ancient pugilistic
history and Hnearthed the following
facts to uphold him in his contention:
In 1869 Tom Allen. heavyweight
champion of England. and Mike Nc
Coole, an American, fought for the
worlds championship near st. Louis,
and McCooIe won on o foul In the
ninth round In 1873 Allen and Nc
Coole staged another battle and on
that occasion Allen was the victor.
That victory restored the champion
ship to him.
Late in 1873 Joe Goss Of England
came to America and fought Allen
near Covington, KY. Goss won ON
foul In the twenty.seventh round. In
1880 Paddy Ryan fought G0ss ct Col
tier, W. Va, and won the decision in
che eighty-sevanth round. February
Z, 1882, John L. Sullivan met Ryan at
mississippi City for $1,000 side and
knocked ont Ryan IN the ninth
round.
Goss beat Allen. Ryan beat Goss.
and Sullivan beat Ryan, so why
shouldn't Sullivan be- looked upon az
the worlds champion after his victory
ever Ryan? asks Andrews.
SuIlivan's victory over Ryan. and
the victories Of the other champions
before Ryan and Sullivan were under
the old London prize ring rules. but
those we're the rules that really gov
erned in those days. and It was under
these rules that champions were made
and unmade. IN further argument
that Sullivan was champion Of the
