KENNEDY SWIMS
IN RECORD TIME
Stuyvesant Lad Equals Own
P. s. A. L. Figures in Fifty
Yard Indoor Race.

j. Kennedy of Stuyvesant High School
was the star of the several dual p. S.
A. l.. championship swimming meets de-
cided in the pool OF Columbia Univer-
sity yesterday. He won the fifty yard
free style race in the meet between Stuy-
vesam and Townsend Harris Hall in the
record time of 25 AS seconds. Kennedy
established the mark for the event two
weeks ago. Although none of the
sprinters representing other schools
showed as fine performance as Ken
nedy's. faster time was recorded In all
the speed events and 1t is not unlikely
new marks will be made before the
tournament ends in January. A feature
of the competition was the debut of the
Richmond Hill team In actual contest.
1t had won all three of its previous en-
gagements by default. Yesterday its
swimmers tried conclusions with Com
mercial and made a good showing. Ow-
ing to absentees the relay race had to
be forfeited, yet Richmond Hill lost the
meet by a narrow margin. The score
was 20 to "a
In the other matches Commerce won
over Norris by 40 to 13; Evander Childs
over Jamaica by Al to IL; Manual
Training over Flushing by 81 to 22.
Two more engagements scheduled, Eras-
mus Hall VS.. Far Rockaway and De
Witt Clinton vs. Boys were recorded as
victories for the schools mentioned first,
owing TO failure of their rivals to re-
port.
The defeat suffered by Morris High
School lowered its standing in the titles

for the lead now, each having come
through all meets unbeaten. They are

to ring battles with much younger gla-
diators. Where those who see disaster
threatening Buff make a mistake is in
failing to take into consideration the
manner of life which the Jersey cham
pion has and is now leading. Buff is
not given to staring fixedly at the white
lights of the great city, but prefers
his own fireside. He is a married man.
has three children and is known as a
home body. The fact that he celebrated
his victory over Herman by rowing
from the Jersey shore the day after the
battle and fishing for crabs near the
Statue of Liberty shows that he is not
given to accentuating his victories in a
hectic manner. Buff is therefore quite
likely to retain his championship honors
for some time to come. The fact that
Jack Britton, who also is a careful liver
is fighting vigorously at the age of SO
should encourage Buff in his endeavors
in the future.
1t is very fortunate thing for the pres
ent crop OF bantam boxers in this coun-
try that Kid Williams Is not now in
his prime. The Baltimore Tiger. II he
could enter the ring to-day in the form
he displayed in the three years follow
ing 1910. would clean up the bantam
boxers of to-day in short order. WILL
Jams, when at his best. disposed OF
Charles Ledoux. the French bantam
champion. who was here on his first
visit, knocking him out in the fifteenth
round. Ledoux at that time was in the
best condition of his life and was q
whirlwind fighter.
Williams next defeated Eddie Campi
who was the cleverest bantam ever de-
veloped on the Pacific coast. After these
achievements Williams finally forced the
make believe champion. Johnny Coulon
into match. Williams exposed Coulon's
pretensions by beating him all over the
ring for two rounds and knocking hin
out in the third.
Williams at his best closely approached
the former Terry McGovern in his ban
tam days. The Baltimorian il at tn,
top OF his form to-day would dispose OF
Herman, Buff. Lynch. Sharkey and some
other bantams in hurricane style.

WILDE'S SAD EXPERIENCE
American Bantams of Present
Period Lack Glass Shown in
McGovern's Day.
BY CHARLES f. MArHIsoN

Foreign patrons of boxing are APP
the fighters they send to this country
dc not have more success in their RIM
combats with American boxers. They
are puzzled by the fact that their best
boxers seem to appear as third raters
when pitted against the leading ropea
square experts of America.
The reason is not difficult to dis
Germ. Opinion as to the ability of for
eign boxers is based entirely on the
performances Of these athletes in their
own countries. Therefore, when Il
champion boxer of England, Franc.
or Australia is sent to America and
receives a humiliating defeat at the
hands of an American, the foreign adj
mirers of their ringmen are unable TO
give any reason for the upset.
The explanation is that the patrons
of ring sport in foreign countries are
entirely lacking in accurate knowledge
OF the capabilities of American boxers.
They jump to the conclusion that be-
cause man in England. France or
Australia wins a title he must of ne
cessity be the equal Of the American
title holder in the same class.
Take the case of Jimmy Wilde. who In
Europe was for years regarded as the
most wonderful boxer in the world
Although Wilde probably never scaled
more than 10S or 10 pounds in his
life. yet he was able to easily dispose o.
the boxers in three classes in Europe
He defeated all the available f1yweights
IN his own country and then was COM
PEELED to jump into the bantam and
fights.
Wilde's Reputation.
Therefore when he first arrived in
America he brought with him the repu-

doubtless been killed. Mr.. Marks then
drew his revolver, and began firing,
but the Yankee saved his life by
dodging on the other side of his horse
Mr.. Holcomb fired, which he says
killed his man. Mr.. Marks, with his
little squad, Immediately rushed to the
road, when the enemy fired a volley at
them, killing Mr.. Hackett. The enemy
then retreated In more than double
quick time. Had it not ben for the
akwardness Of the Virginia cavalry
men. we would have surprised the
enemy, and won the day and no doubt
saved the life Of our gallant leader.
"The remains Of Col. Dreux were

But we are invulnerable to more than

A short story published under the
heading "A Horsethief in Congress"
reads:
Henry w Barry, the drunken car
petbag vagabond, who claims to repre-
sent the Second District of Mississippi
in Congress, has recently been de-
nounced as a thief, swindler and a
forger by a general in the Federal
Army, and recently the Brandon
Republican denounced him as a horse
thief. This paper of Thursday says :
In late issue Of our paper we
charged the carpetbag congressman
from the Columbus District, Fl. w.
Barry, with having tried to steal a
noted yallar pony from Hon. Frank
Lynch. of Texas, and asked the Pilot
to add this item, together with several
other charges, to its biographical
sketch of the infamous scoundrel
Neither the Pilot, Barry himself. OF
any Of his friends, have disputed the
charge, and as Mr.. Lynch is now
In this place. we renew It, and dare the
carpetbag scoundrel to dispute 1t. We
may. at seme future time, give oul
readers a few more items in the history
of this Yankee villain, who was kicked
out Of the Federal Army for being, as
a brother officer expressed it, thu
damndest scoundrel unhung. One OF
his speculatfons in Texas was hiring
his negro regiment out to pick cottol
on shares for the people in the neigh
borhood Of his quarters, while they
were being fed at the expense of tn,
Government. He received over fift!
bales from one widow woman as hi!
share, and a great deal from others.
