May Pass Boxing Law.

While the organizers of the new club
that is being formed by the incorpora-
tors of the Army. Navy and Civilian
Board of Boxing Control believe that
boxing can be conducted In a bona fide
club of that description. without inter-
ference by the authorities, yet 1t IS
known that those back Of the project

be passed at the next session OF the

The Smallest Champion.
Australia is the proud possessor Of a
paperweight champion, the limit OF the
class being 105 pounds. His name is
Bobbie Gray, and he appears to be the
only title holder of the class in the
world. He won his title by defeating
Dave Wall, 1o3-pounder, the decision
being on a foul, a low blow twice re-
peated. An Australian expert referring
to the paperweight class, says:
Charlie Lincoln was the first paper
weight champion developed anywhere.
He arrived as such some months ago at
the Hippodrome. but declining to con-
tinue there renowned the title and with
drew from the game"
Lincoln may possibly have been the
first to claim the paperweight title
but he' is not the first man to hold a
title at 105 pounds. Jimmy Barry, who
called himself the bantam champion of
America, fought for years at los
pounds, and then running short of oppo-
nents was compelled to take on men
who weighed as much as ZIG pounds.

Willard Last of Famed
Brigade of White Hopes
BY CROSS COUNTER.

With the defeat of Jess Willard there
passed into pugilistic oblivion the last
of the cluster of American boxers known
as the white hopes" These heavy
weights sprang into existence as the re-
suit of a general demand on the part of
boxing enthusiasts for the development
of white boxer capable of dethroning
Jack johnson. This desire on the part
of devotees of the squared circle was
not due to racial hostility but solely
because the personal conduct of the
champion had brought boxing into dis
repute.
OF all the asplrants for the heavy
weight crown, only two man
aged to get matches with the negro,
These were Frank Moran, who failed
to make any impression on the cham
pien, and Willard, who won the title,
Carl Morris was the original white
hope, and had he obtained a match
with Johnson. he would, through his
rough, foul methods, have made 1t very
unpleasant for the titleholder. But
Morris never got a match with the
negro and lived to be obliterated by
Dempsey,
The late Jim Stewart of Brooklyn
was for time encouraged to think
he might wrest the title from john
son. but his crystalline jaw prevented
a realization of the hope.
PaIzer Faded Soon.
AL Palzer who had a punch, but
was guiltless of boxing science, flashed
brightly as prospective opponent of
johnson but flickered and faded early
in the game.
The most promising of all was
Luther McCarty, who. had he lived,
might have given Johnson a strong
| battle. McCarty was rugged, scientific
and a good hitter. But his chance
went glimmering because of his fond
| ness for rough riding. He performed
| a number of cowboy stunts a few days
previous to his bout with Arthur Pei
| key and injured the spinal cord in
his neck so that the first light blow
he received from his opponent resulted
| in his collapse and eventual death.
| 'Gunboat Smith, who was too light fol-
a man of Johnson's size, never sue
ceeded in getting a match, and is now
| In the list of the pugilistic relies.
Moran, who lost a twenty-round deci-
| sion to Johnson in Paris in 1914, at q
| time when the white man was at hie
best has since deterlorated sadly, al

ISiIbane's status.

A good line on the present status OF
Johnny Ktlbane has been obtained as
the result of a bout between Joe Fox,
an English featherweight, and Terry
Martin, Providence boy of fair ability.
Fox and Eilbane recently met In a
six round bout In Philadelphia, and the
Englishman was declared by many at
the ringside to have had considerably
the better of the engagement In fact
Fox had the American featherweight
title holder on the floor at one stage OF
the engagement.
Fox few days ago went to Boston
to box Artie Root of Cleveland, but there
was an argument about weight, and Root
refused TO 80 on. In this emergency
Martin volunteered, and he also beat
Fox in ten of the twelve rounds and
got the referees decision. After this
performance by Martin, his name will be
marked off of Kilbanes visiting list.

heavyweight, who has scored fifteen

tered the ring at Toledo. Roberts is a

OF $50 pounds and is splendidly pro-

Anent CInss o sIoops.

The absence of the one design Glass
o sloops of the Larchmont Yacht Club
at the annual fall regatta of the organi-
cation on Labor Day caused consider
able comment in the yachting world. At
the beginning of the year the owners
OF the boats agreed to race only in
La rchmont regattas. The craft were
the feature division of the year. Not
withstau6ing the fact they were built
during the winter of 1857, they never
were sailed in an open regatta until
this summer.
With the single exception of Commo-
dore James i. Ford the owners kept
to their word regarding racing under
no other burgee than the Larchmont
flag. Commodore Ford has been cruis-
ing Down East on his Naruna, the
Marconi rugged craft. On Labor Day
Commodore Ford was at Marblehead and
he could not resist the temptation to
Try out the boat against some of the
Bay State yachting brethren.
Originally it was planned to have
Varuna race against the forty footers of
the New York Yacht Club, There are
two of these yachts at Marblehead this
summer Unfortunately. the boats were
not at the starting line and Varuna
, raced against the Class + yachts the
most popular division in Boston waters.
The. Larchmont yacht allowed the p
boats minutes and IA seconds over a
12h mile course.
From all accounts 1t was not a highly
interesting race. A heavy fog hung
over the waters and for the greater part
of the contest the racing craft were
hunting buoys. On corrected tpne
Varuna was beaten by b. d. Baker $
Olympian. Commodore John b. Fallon
of the Corinthian Yacht Club of Marble
head sailed Varuna. He was highly de-
lighted with the craft.

Drat the Fog!

always is one of the most interesting
brushes sailed by Boston yachtsmen,
Owing to the war theicup has not been
up for competition since 1916. The deed
of gift states that the cup always must
be sailed for on Labor Day That is
why the Boston Yacht Club attempted
to hold a race for the prize last Monday.
Unfortunately fog, that was said to
be "murkier than Scotia cooks plum
duff" spoiled the race and in all prob
ability the South Boston Yacht Club
will call 1t no contest. Owing to the
fog only a small fleet started. After
the boats had been lost in the fog for
several hours the committee called off
the contest.
With the yachting season entering
the last leg It looPs as though the year
would 20 without any special races for
historic trophies. The lower bay is ex-
ceedingly fond of racing for well known
cups. There are the Bellows Cup, the
Chllds Trophy, the Blackton Cup and
other mugs carefully stored away in
the vaults of silversmiths. During the
war these cups were forgotten. I'm
doubtedly they will appear on the yacht
ing horizon next summer, providing
yachtsmen build all the new boats that
have been mentioned.
Word comes from England that the
Royal Temple Yacht Club held it's an
nual "Ramsgate Week this summer
The racing was held during the latter
part OF July AS usual. part of the
racing was held off Deal Although not
so important as Cowes Week, the racing
at Ramsgate always is interesting and
furnishes exceptional competition. Among
the winners of important prizes were
Celia, n Aston yawl. the property Of f.
S. Hahler; Bamba, a 19-ton cutter that
belongs TO NJ Arbutnnot; Stella Maris,
a 2g-ton yawI G, p. Mackenzie, owner
and J. w. Cooks cutter Thanet.
Jamaica Bay Corinthians are more
than pleased with the little Sea News
that have at last held a race. The Yacht
Racing Association of Jamaica Bay
planned the class prior TO the United
States entering the big war. However,
nothing was done toward building the
boats until this spring. A dozen were
ordered. Unfortunately. labor troubles
worked against the building of the craft
and the first ones did not take to the
water until the middle of August.
The first real race was sailed week
ago, seven yachts coming to the starting
line The boats were found to be able,
seaworthy and fairly fast. They were
designed for the Rudder by Fred
Goeller, n well known naval architect
A similar class Is at the Harlem Yacht
Club In all probability there will be
some interclub racing next season.

tect who designed many we'll known

that won the Roosevelt cup in the first
