The Mace Goss "Bloomer''

Today is the fifitieth anniversary of what was perhaps the worst bloom err ever pulled off in the ring in connection with a battle for the heavyweight cham pfonship. It was on May "A, 1866, that lem Mace and Joe Goss faced each other for the championship belt and $1,00O a side. Owing to fear of interference from the authorities. none iof the sports who boarded the train in Lon don on the morning of the fight knew where they were going, except Nat Langham and Jack Lawley, who made the arrangements. When the men faced each other in the ring they fenced and spared for. fifteen or twenty minutes. Mace at last landed a light blow on the cheek, and was countered by Joe on the nose. Those were the only two blows struck in contest which lasted over an hour. Neither man would start trouble, and at length, despite the jeering of the angry sports and the commands of the referee, Mace and Goss stood still, folded their arms and glared at each other. The first fround of this "great championship battIe'' was never fin ished, and the referee had to call it a draw Mace had previously defeat- ed Goss, and in a third bout repeat ed the trick Joe Goss afterwards came to America and held the Amer tcan heavyweight title from 1876 to
 1880. when he was defeated in bloody eighty-seven round battle by Paddy Ryan Mace also toured America and defeated the best of the beavvwefehts on this side of the At Ia T7fic

WHY ARE STAR BOXERS
 LODGING GEO. CHANEY /?

New York, May 24SThey all seem to be lodging George Chaney for some reason or other, although what there is about the man from BaIti- more that is so alarming is not quite clear. The latest to pass up a match with the Baltimore southpaw is Benny Leonard The men were sup posed to have been matched for a bout in Philadelphia, but according to the promoter Leonard changed his mind about the match, saying that he intended to make a trip to South America As Charley White seems to have the match with Welsh clinched Leonard evidently had some other reason for refusing to tackle the man who caused Johnny Kilbane to take to the woods.
 It is understood that Welsh re- fused to tackle Leonard at Buenos Ayres, but insisted upon naming Charley White as his opponent. There is very little interest in Welsh White battle, for the Chicago light weight has had several chances in short bouts and always failed to ac- eomplish anything worth while. A Leonard-Welsh bout would be a far different proposition, for Leonard has shown himself to be the master of the champion at every angle of the game.
 As the only reason for promoting the bout is to advertise Buenos Ayres, the promoters seem to be making a big mistake in allowing Welsh to se- select his own opponent. At that White ought to be able to win now that Welsh has gone back so far. Still the Chicago boxer is not the best of the contenders, and if he won it it would be merely transferring the title from one counterfeit to another.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1836-Bendigo defeated Brassey in 52 rounds at Deepcar, Eng. This bat file. although between two top-notch- ers who were aspirants for the cham pionship was for only $125 a side Bendigo's real name was William Thompson and Brassey was John Leechman, but both were universally known by their nicknames. More than 5000 people assembled on the village common to see the battle. From the first go Bendigo proved that he was a marvel of ring science, and Brassey didn't stand a show, Bendy fought with his brains we'll as with his fists and although Brassey was as game as they make 'em, he had no knowledge of ring generalship. Hav- ing failed to make any showing with his fists, Brassey became wild with rage in the 52nd round. and adopted the tactics of a bull and butted Bendi- go in the tummy. He followed this by catching Bendigo about the jegs and trying to turn him a complete somersault. Such foul tactics these didn't go even in the ring of eighty years ago, and the referee awarded the victory to Bendigo.

Our Mexican war grew out of the an nexation of Texas by the United States. Texas, having seeded from. Mexico in 1886. was annexed to tho United States in 1845 A dispute as to the boundary followed, and border trouble led up to the war. There had previously been outrages on Americans in Mexico and insults to the flag. Pres fdent Polk in his message of 1S46 said; ''The files and records of the depart ment of state contain conclusive proofs of numerous lawless acts perpeHated upon the property and persons of our citizens by Mexico and of wantOn in suits to our national flag" Other pres idents had referred to these outrages, and Polk declared that ''the history of no civilized nation in modern times has presented within so brief a period so many wanton attacks upon the honor of it's flag and upon the property and persons of it's citizens as have been borne by the United States from the Mexican authorities and people"

Eeve none of the .favorite sons'' fell in with the Roosevelt idea that it would be to his advantage to nego- tiate with the colonel so far ahead of time.
 The Colonel was the figure in a characteristic Roosevelt demonstra- ton in the District Court Building. He came on from New York to appear as "a, character witness for Charles c. Glover and other officials of the the court room in pretty much the same fashion as he did that at Syra- cuse during the trial of the celebrated libel suit which, William Barnes brought against him last year.
 He gave Glover a fine character, pronouncing him to be Q, man of high business integrity. The Colonel ad- i mitted he and his family banked with MT. Glover's institution. MT. Glover and two associates are on trial for perjury in swearing that the bank did not deal in stocks and bonds. The bank, which is connected with the National City Bank at New York, is the oldest institution in Washington. Its adherents claim it is being <persecuted for personal reasons l by Secretary McAdoo and Comptroll- CT of the Currency John Ske1ton Will l Hams.
 1 They have attempted to make it ap- 1 pear that the Democratic Administra- ton IS really warning upon DE DuS- 1 mess interests in attacking the bank. At any rate the appearance of the i Colonel, following former President Taft, has imparted to the trial a de- cided political aspect in that it has lined up the Republican party and the big business interests involved l against the government.
 There was no reflection of this fea- 1 ture of the case while the Colonel was in court, of course, but his volun- Ifary appearance witness for 1 Glover made 8 most favorable inn pression among men who usually synpathize with powerful financial in stitutions.
 The Colonel was cheered as he en- tered the court room with his daugh- ter Alice and her husband, Congress man Nick Longworth. He shook hands with the Judge and when he had ended his testimony with the members of the jury, who solicited the honor.
 As he left the court room ringing cheer went up from an enormous
