GIFT HORSE REWARDS
FOX FOR HIS PATIENCE
Royalty, a Victor at Belmont,
Was a Hopeless Cripple.

That patience perseverance and per-
sistency will succeed on the turf as we'll
as in any other walk OF life was demon
strated at the Belmont Park track last
Tuesday when Royalty. an old chestnut
gelding, owned by Mrs. Paul Fox. was

Royalty is a we'll bred horse. being
son OF Duke OF Ormonde and Reticella
James Johnson, owner of the Quincy
Stable. bouSht him as a yearling and
thought so highly OF him that he pre-
dlcted the horse would win fame on the
turf. While training for his races
Royalty broke down. He bowed a
tendon and was sent to the field So
severe was the injury that Mr.. Johnson
gave up hope Of mending him and pre-
sented him to Paul Fox. the veteran
trainer.
Fox took the gift horse and presented
him TO his wife. Here's a good horse
that needs 4 little merding.' he told Mrs.
Fox. Hes a trifle crippled now. but
can mend him for you and win some
races"
Next day Fox went TO work on him.

In a couple Of months his patience and
work were rewarded. for Royalty's limp
was missing and he showed flashes OF
great speed IN his trials. As a result the
but on the day preceding the contest the
old geldine again broke down.
Undaunted Paul started his work all
over again. This time II took nearly a
year to patch up his charge and Just as
he had him ready for q race Royalty
broke down again. This third mishap
tended TO discourage Mrs. Fox. but not
Paul. He threw the gelding out OF
| training and lot him stay out for near
ly year. Early last month Royalty
| again had lost his lameness and Paul
put him in training. He improved with
each trial and last Sunday morning
showed enough speed to lead the veteran
trainer to believe he could win a race.
On Tuesday his opportunity came
for the fifth event on the card was an
event for maidens. three years and up

Barring another breakdown he'll
win.' Paul advised his friends and they
az we'll as himself and Mrs. Fox put a
bet on him. AS the gelding was at the
liberal odds OF 10 to l the owner and
trainer were repaid for their patience
and his friends for their faith In his
ability as O trainer. While tho race wac
on practically every trainer at the track
was roofing for Paul. He Is popular
with his fellow trainers and all wanted
to see him rewarded for his Iabors

Gift Championships
Lacking in Stability
Weshs Plan to Retire and Hand Title to >Coogan
Baked by Leonard-Other Attempts to Name
Successors Failed-Other Boxing Gossip.
~ GROSS COUNTER.

The report that Freddie Welsh previ-
Gus to his encounter with Leonard had
decided formally TO retire on July and
present the title to a stablemate named
Mel Coogan (thus keeping the champion
chip in the family. 10 to speak) has cre-
ated no end Of merriment in boxing
circles The gift" title has for years
been a standing joke with students of
boxing. but despite the fact that a re-
firing champion can no more dispose of
his title than a retiring President can
appoint his successor. astute managers
OF boxers continue to hug the delusion
that title holder on stepping down from
the throne can hand the sceptre to some
personal friend. Although Benny Leon
ard nipped in the bud this scheme by
Welsh there is small doubt that the
Briton had he lasted ten rounds against
Leonard would have made an effort to
confer his championship on Coogan. The
latter Is a very capable lightweight. but
would have had serious trouble defend
ing the title against at least half a dozen
OF the leading contenders. 1t is surpris-
ing that any champion Of modern times
can be so dense as to think that a box
ing title can be won nowadays except by
competition in the roped square.
Numerous attempts have been made by
title holders to confer championships on
personal favorites, but never has the ef-
fort been successful.
Generous Je6ries.
Jim Jeffriss in a moment Of mental
low visibility confidentially informed
some friends that he would make pres
ent OF the heavyweight title to Marvin
Hart a third rater The announcement
caused so much laughter that JEFF hastily
pulled back the title and said he was
only Joking. Hart never was accepted
as title holder and all pugilistic records
ignore him in the list OF champions. Jim
Corbett tried to make present Of his
title to Maher. but the latter wanted to
win II from Corbett, 30 tho champion
pulled It back and finally lost It to Fitz.
Joe Cans tried to hand his title on a
gold platter to third rater named
George Memsc. but this also was a fail
ure, and Memsics name has never ap-
peared in the list Of lightweight title
holders
Terry McGovern was very fond of his
sparring partner. Danny Dougherty. and
so when Terry decided to retire from the
bantam class and vault into the feather
weight division he sought to reward
Danny by giving him the bantam
championship. Yet nowhere can Dough-
erty'0 name be found as having held
title.
MuSt Win in Rims.
Tommy Ryan when he decided to re-
tire. magnanimously decided to hand
the title as a gift to Hugo Kelly and
made announcement OF his generosity
No one else regarded the gift other than
as a development OF the silly season
and Kelly's name Is not in the records
as title holder
Not since the London rules gave way
10 the Queensberry code has there beer
n champion who failed to win his hon
ors in the ring. II is singular that any
title holder should attempt the injustice
