Probably some enterprising promoter

Some Good MiddleMeiEhfs.
Al Mccoy. of Brooklyn, has a tech
nical claim to the middleweight crown,
but no one regards it seriously. Since
Mccoy acquired his title" by knock
ing out George Chip, he has been
beaten in nearly every one of his
starts But. luckily for him. he has
lot of courage and ability TO take pun
ishment which have saved him from
being knocked cold
Gus Christie is mighty good mid
dleweight- So is Chip. Nike Gibbons
was-but is he now? Is the "St Paul
ghost through as a top-notcher, or
didn't he train for those fights last
fall and winter? There are a half
dozen other sterling fighters in that
class. Good match making ought to
be productive Of some fast fighting.
Also. in conclusion. one might touch
upon the dark battlers in and around
New York The ban was lifted on
mixed bouts some time ago Whites
now are permitted to meet negroes.
which means that Sam Langford. Joe
Jeanette, ct al. ought to figure a bit

A MATEUR Athletic union has
named a commissioner to look
after permits for A. A U. athletes
who want TO take part in sports
along the border. Many A. A. U.
men are with the national guards
and the appointment of a commits
sioner to look after their amateur
status relieves many of these men
from worry. As there is no A. A. U.
organization in this territory, the
union can afford to be generous IN
issuing permits to its members.
W/ILLIE LEWIS has blossomed
out as manager of Joe Cox, the
heavyweight who claims to have
knocked out Jess Willard. He will
try to put Cox on against Carl
Morris at Denver or Tulsa and then
hopes to go after the champion.
SOME one has made a remark that
the Feldman outfielders must be
weak stickers to be batting away
down In the list. But. the whole
solution happens to be that the
pitcher and infielders are extraor-
binary good batters and that is whv
the outfielders are down in the bat
ting order.
DID you notice that the Feldmans
had three sacrifice hits in Sun
days ga-a? Sacrificing seems TO be
a lost art with the Commercial

ARTICLES BEING SIGNED

signed articles for the CLANCY Kilbane
championship bout, September 4. at Ce-

cisl delivery to promoter Matt J. Hin

$1,000 as his forfeit.
Bletzer made few corrections to the
original agreement over which dispute
arose. simply making il plain that the
boxers must wear five ounce gloves
during the mill. that he shall receive
$500 forfeit should Kilbane weigh more
than 122 pounds and that the pugilists
step on the scales 80 minutes before
they are called to the center of the
ring for final instructions.
