M|DDLEWE|CHT THRONE
IS HELD TO Be VACANT
BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK. September 6.-How does
the middleweight championship situation
stand now? You hear this question to-
day wherever sporting men gather.
The best opinion heard thus far Is that
there is no middleweight champion
The throne is vacant. The once highly
respected class. according to those who
think, has gone into the hands Of soviet
rule.
If Johnny Wilson was really trying In
his scrap against Bryan Downey yester-
day then he is so bad that he ought
to be ashamed to put UP his hands and
poised. If he wasn't trying then he
isn't entitled to hold up his head in
company with squad of pickpockets
Any way you can figure 1t. Johnny Will
son as q champion is nix.
DowneYN had nothing but pair Of
gloves and a wild right swing. He Is one
of those fighters who couldn't hit the
floor with his hat in forty throws. And
he had a roll of fat around his waist
that looked like horse collar. The best
defense against Downey's right swing
was to stand still and let it miss.
Downey was willing enough, but
couldn't. Wilson either couldn't or
wouldn't. One man who occupied ten
dollar seat-a great big guy with humid,
blue pop-eyes, sagging cheeks and a
body shaped like Bartlett pear-hit 1t
off precisely in the seventh round when
he arose and addressed the crowd:
Look at those two buns spoilin' my
holiday" he cried mournfully.

 When the British marched further ir.- to the city they found a Polish com mander, with 300 men.
