FEW GERMANS IN
RING HISTORY AS
HIGH CLASS MEN

Richie. Wolgast, Papke and
many other American boxers Of Ger
man origin have won 1aurels in the
ring, but champions of Teuton blood
have been few and far between. The
first German to try for q champion
ship was Tom Juchau, Prussian
who settled in London in the middle
of the fifteenth century. Juchau,
known as "The Disher.'' claimed the
championship Of England after he
defeated George Millson in 1853, but
his pretentions were denied by Bill
Darts. 1.-THE Dyer" the German and
the Englishman were matched to
battle for the title isl years ago to-
day, on May FL, 1866. The patrons
of the sport hung up $1,000, a huee
sum in those days.
It was one Of the foulest bouts
ever fought. From the very begin
ming Juchau resorted to all sorts of
underhand tactics and Darts did the
same. No attention was paid to
rules by either man, but they were
permitted to fight on and Darts at
length won the victory by planting a
very low blow on the obdomen of
the German. Juchau, the first
German prize fighters. apparently dis
of the old records of the ring con-
tain any mention of him after this
contest.

May 30 and June 1, respectively, was
welcomed by those interested in the
sport in this country, especially by
the members Of the Jockey club, with
out whose announcement the turf
would be little but a name in the
United States today.
AS chairman OF the governing body
of racing in this country, what August
Belmont has to say in connection with
England's change OF policy has par
ticular force. THE conclusion of the
British authorities that it is best to
continue the test of racing is crafty
Ing" said MIR. Belmont, ttand the les
son indicates that sport does not enter
into the matter at all.
How do I regard the outlook for
the current season here? There is
promise Of great sport, especially in
the three-year-old division, which
would appear to be stronger than for
many years past. With Campfire,
Hourless. Omar Khavyan, Ticket and
a number. OF others that have proved
their quality all in training and doing
as well as could he expected, the pub
lie may look for some brilliant sport
before the end Of the spring meeting
