Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE,, February 2S.-Jack
Britton and Ted Lewis are having
wordy war as to who is welterweight
champion. Why not have one OF them, or
both. match up with Kid Graves, who has
been given the most recognition as welter
champion, in a twenty-round bout In the
south to a decision, and let the winner be
declared title holder. The new weight, as
adopted by the A. B. A.. is 147 pounds.
Britton and Lewis both claim newspaper
verdicts over Graves in ten-round bouts,
but these are not championship contests
and should not be recognized as such. The
fighters who are trying to cop off titles in
limited-round decisions deserve no credit
whatever. Let them get out and fight for
the honors the same as all champions
are compelled to do. Matt Hinkel, presf-
dent of the A. B. A., has been i'll for some
time or he would have been on the Job.
Matt writes that he expects to get out
and endeavor to have the members meet
and take some action. It is certainly up
to the association to take action on sew
eral matters pertaining to the boxing
game.
While discussing the welter question
it might be well, too. to mention the
middleweight class. There are few who
deny Mike Gibbons is the best of the
middles in this country. but there are
some who claim that Al Mccoy is the
technical champion. If he is. then he
should be deposed. for he has never de-

Interesting Golf Notes
From the Local Clubs

Now that the Chevy Chase Club has
finally decided upon the general lay
out of it's course; plans are being made
to improve it and make 1t better from
a scientific standpoint by the addition
OF bunkers, hazards, etc. Those In
charge at the club have been handi-
capped in this respect for the past two
or three years because of the uncer-
tainty as to exactly what changes 1t
wanted made in its course, as every
one seemed to have different idea on
the subject. The twenty -seven-hole
.pronosition. has now been put on the
si.elf and the change made last No
ve.nber Is proving satisfactory that
Tn. changes are the arrangement will
be made permanent and, with this idea
in view, the golf committee went over
the court with Professional George
SARGENT last. Wednesday and he sug-
gested a number OF changes which will
be put up TO the board OF governors
for consideration. If Sargent's plans
are approved, the second, third. fifth.
