While the bill making physical train

chosen ms halfback on the International

In the open Chamber. Although Rameil
was joshing his old friend Vidal. several
French newspaper men took the matter
seriously. and French papers the next

other Ring Gossip.

Although Johnny Dundee is reported
10 have outpointed Rocky Kansas In their
recent bout in Milwaukee one able critic
decides that the Buffalo boy won
handily. He says:
kansas did all the forcing and made
what fight there was
"Dundee backed around the ring from
the opening round up to the ninth and
again resumed his retreat in the tenth.
and boxer who Is winning never
backs up
Kansas scored three punches TO Dun
dee's one and beat him badly around the
body in every clinch.
Dundee airplaned and hoped around
the ring. causing Kansas to miss badly,
but at the same time he did no damage
himself.
"a miss should count for the opponent
IL there is counter, Dundee was too
busy ducking and lodging to counter.
'Two-thirds of the clean punches In
the bout were scored by Kansas.
dundee did all the clinching.
"These are the points on which bout
is to be Judged. and these were the main
factors in determining the Issue last
night To our mind Kansas won by
such clean cut and decisive margin
that the consideration of Dundee's end
from boxing and fistic standpoint is
utterly impossible
To any one conversant with the meth
DDS of Dundee and Kansas the above de-
cision appears 70 be plausible.
Jack Kearns insists that Tom Gibbons
snd other cnallengers OF Dempsey are
sidestepplng Jimmy Darcy. the Pacific
coast middleweight, who is here with a
good record.
Magnus Larsen, the heavy hitting
amateur light heavyweight boxer found
that the professional path Is full OF
thorns. He entered the ring at Boston
last Friday night against Ted Jameson
OF Milwaukee, and was handily defeated.

The regatta will be awarded at the an

sion was sent out yesterday by c. Fred

the job so well that the regatta broke
all Amrican records for the number of

to take the regatta this year, but New
York Is going to fight hard.
The N. Y. r. A. officials also made
further plans for the annual Memorial

Final Bouts at Garden.

Four of the most interesting bouts

the most interesting boxers in the game,
