AMERICAN PUGILISTS
ARE DROPPING BACK

New York. April e1.-American puSiIists
In the Antipodes are hitting the toboggan
and losing the admiration which once
they bred.
Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond Qnd }
boxer, lost his chance to succeed Les
Darcy, as middle-weight champion, when
he was defeated recently by Tommy
Uren in twenty rounds of fierce battling.
Papers received here assert that Clabby
his lived the easy life too long, that his
work is decadent and that he appears t.
be through.
Concerning Eddie McGoorty, the former
Oshkosh (Wis) battler, the paper says
reports in the United States that Nc
Goorty had made a mint of money
backing the ponies are utterly inbound
ed, and that he probably would have
trouble digging up the fare back home.
Australian critics, who have been
panning Freddie Enck, the Aurora OllI
boy, got the surprise of their lives when
he trimmed Hector Melville, regarded as
wonder, in fifteen rounds. Enck was
beautifully trimmed by Bert Spargo in
his first fight when he was stopped in
the fifteenth. but now the critics are
taking back all they said. and are trying
to make up for it by columns of praise
for the Auroran.

FLYNN IS NOT IN GAME
BECAUSE HE LIKES IT

New York, April 21.-Here is a boxer
who is in the game. not because he
likes It, but because it is the stepping
stone to realization of ambitions. Maui
rice Flynn is the boy and he is stepping
up rapidly toward the higher ranks of
the light-weights.
One OF FIynn's ambitions is to ac-
quire an education and to similarly
equip his ten brothers and sisters. His
earnings out of the ring would be small
at best, so he is devoting himself to a
study of the manly art in the daytime
and commercial art at night. In the
meantime, his proceeds from fights are
financing the school courses of one
brother and three sisters. AS the others
reach the age Of reason he expects to
do likewise by them.
Joe Keefe, Flynn's manager, is an ex-
ception also. He takes nothing for han
ding Flynn and has mapped out a hard
campaign for him. By the time it is
concluded Flynn hopes to be launched
upon a business career which will en-
able him to get out of pugilism forever.

ERTLE CHANGES MIND
ABOUT QUITTING RING

New York, April 21.-Little Johnny
Ertle. who recently announced that he
was ready to quit the ring. has changed
his mind. Ertle, just now a lad who
ought to be in his prime, gave as his
reason for contemplated retirement that
he was burned out" Evidently Johnny
had case of blues and a dark brown
taste when he made that statement. for
the last time he appeared in a New York
ring he looked like a mighty sturdy
little battler.
Ertles change of humor was no doubt
brought about by the fact that the field
for a good bantam-weight is better to-
day than it has ever been in the history
Of the ring game in this country. Be
fore Kid Williams won the title from
Johnny Coulon there were few topnotch
bantams in the business. Now there are
plenty of good boys who can do the
banty limit.
Ertle has notified Pete Herman, New
Orleans claimant of the title. that he
wants to fight it out in bout over the
twenty-round distance. And this ought
to be some bout Like ErtIe, little Pete
Herman is a sturdy lad, who can hit
and who can handle himself we'll in the
ring. But besides Herman, Ertle can
find plenty OF opposition to his title
claims. Kid Williams is still insistent
that he has the best right to the title
and frankie Burns, the veteran from
Jersey City. has recently discovered that
he has knockout punch. Then there
are Dutch Brandt, Jack Sharkey, Joey
Lynch, Joe Burman, and a raft OF
others who want a chance.

Langford Says Walcott
Was His Instructor

New York, April H.-Those who have
maryelled at the ringcraft of Sam Lang
ford may be interested in knowing that
the veteran negro gives credit for his
proves to that other sterling negro
fighter. Joe Walcott. The odd thing
about It is that Walcott himself probably
never knew that he was instructor Of the
Boston Tar Baby.
1t was in this same Hub that the
lessons were learned. Joe had a younger
brother named Westfeld and he and
Langford were bosom pals. Joe taught
his brother most of the tricks he had
learned in the ring and the youngster
in turn passed them on to his chum,
Langford.
The colored boxer in those days
learned the game thoroughly" says
I,angford. He had to to hold his own.
That is why most OF the negro pugilists
were so clever. 1 never forgot those
second-handed lessons from Walcott."
Incidentally, 1t was desire to get
even with n certain white boy, Danny
Duane. who never was a topnotcher, that
inspired Sam to study so hard In 1908
Duane and Langford engaged in a bat
tie OF twelve rounds and Langford was
the target for an amazing number of
blows, which left him in anything but a
pleasing frame of mind after he had
viewed his face, particularly his lips.
Langford never had an opportunity to
tight Duane again. but the things he
learned in preparation for that never
to-be second meeting were passed on via
his fists to others who faced him.
