caulihower ear Is. He has two of
them.
There will be no mixed bouts-that
is, bouts between the lily whites and
the colored exponents OF the art of the
late Marquis of Queensberry. Chair
man Frederick Wenck of the Boxing
Commission did a Patrick Henry for
the Langford- McVey-J jeanette COM
bination, but the two upstate commits
slOners were obdurate. The only way
that the Colored Heavyweights' League
can make pork chop money in this
vicinity is TO keep the little old league
going.
At that it might have been perfectly
safe for the commission TO sanction the
mixed bouts. There are not many Of
the lily whites who want 70 go up
against Mistah Sam Langford And
there are very few who care to stand
against that straight left of Sam
MCVeys.
The Boxing Commission has a nice
new set of rules for the general uPlift
and refinement of the game. These
rules will soon be promulgated, and
we may look forward TO higher pugi-
lism that will make the shade of the
Marquis of Queensberry feel that he
has not labored in vain.
The Boxing Commission will ponder
for a few days over the problem OF
what Benny Leonard had in his glove
when he met Shamus O'Brien at Syra-
cuse. Edward Patterson, who manages
Shamus. says that IL was a horseshoe
or a brick. When Commissioner Fra

he will be forced to believe that Benny
reinforced his punch with a chunk OF
masonry.
Colonel John Reisler, known tonso-
rally as John the Barber, was found
not guilty OF conniving at the escape
OF Battling jim Johnson, who was to
have fought Sam McVey at the Har-
lem A. c. last week. IL seems that the
Battler broke from the leash just as
he was being led TO the Harlem Club.
His manager ran after him, but John
son did an Eliza over the ice of the
Harlem River, and was last seen pass

He ended with the pathetic question,
"Why does everybody pick on poor
John. who never shaved a guy against
the grain in his life" The courtroom
resounded with cheers as the verdict OF
mot guilty" was brought in.
By the way, Colonel Reisler presents
the gold belt this evening to the most
popular lad on the card. Charley Leon

lightweight, will tackle Ray Rivers.
