Wilson'S Crown.
ny w. o. McGEEHAN.

Dave Rosenberg and Phil Krug, the
themselves measured for the crown
which was knocked from the rect
angular bean of Johnny Wilson. late
middleweight champion, will meet at
the Velodrome tonight to decide
which one gets 1t. They will go fif-
teen rounds to decision and the sur.
vivor-if any-will be regarded as
holding a lien on the crown.
Mr.. Ike Dorgan. who dictates the an
nouncements of the Velodroyae. starts
his final notice with the remark that
fireworks will be exploded" Mr.. Dor
gan. who has been on a chop suey diet
almost exclusively OF late. perhaps has
the affair mixed up somehow with the
celebration of Chinese New Year. = 1t
seems unlikely that Joe Humphries.
the master of ceremonies. who is a
stickler for good form. would permit
fireworks to be exploded during a box
ing contest. In every affair at which
Mr.. Humphries presides. whether 1t be
prize fight. gang fight or banquet, the
strictest decorum is observed always.
Mr.. Dorgan Wakes Figurative.
Looking over Mr.. Dorgan's announce
ment for the second time we have come
to the conclusion that Mr.. Dorgan has
used the term fireworks as figure OF
speech. Mr.. Dorgan always was a
little loose with the English language.
having so much of it in stock. He
perhaps means to imply that the boys
will be so fast and vehement in their
gestures in the ring tonight that they
will give the illusion OF fireworks ex-
ploding. Well. we shall sec
Rosenberg and Krug represent differ
ent walks of life. Rosenberg devoted
much of his boyhood to the study OF
buttonhole making. while Krug. who
yearned for the tang OF the salt air
and the taste of the salt beef, served
in the navy. where he was considered
one of the best men in the service when
ii came to mopping decks. he once
mopped the port side OF battleship
in record time on small bet. lie says
that he will handle Rosenberg as
mop this evening.
Mr. Dorgan is silent as to the pre-
liminary fighters. but it is fair to as
sumo that there will be other bouts be-
sides the main event. There always
aie-unfortunateiy there always are
other bouts.
Dempsey Gets Fearful Again.
The elaborate preparations for the
socking on the chin OF Bill Brennan by
Jack Dempsey on Labor Day are going
ahead. Incidently the news leaked out
from Boston that Jack Dempsey has re-
marked that he considers Brennan
very formidable opponent. How he got
that way nobody seems to know.
One cannot blame Dempsey for feeling
a kindly regard for william. Victims
for Dempsey are getting scarcer and
scarcer When he hits William on the
chin once more there will be nobody left
but Harry Wills Harry's turn comes
next year.
Dundee and Frnsh in Brooklyn.
Squire Ebbets. the Flatbush philan-
thropist asks that some little mention
he made of the fact that Johnny Dun
dee will, box Danny Frush at Ebbets
Field tomorrow night. AS the requests
of the Squire are made always with
punctiiious courtesy. we wish him to
consider the fact mentioned.
Dundee wants a match with Johnny
Rilbane SO does Danny Frush. The
winner of the bout Tomorrow night VIII
have the privilege of asking Johnny for
bout. and Johnny will retain the priv
ilege of saying, mo !" with promptness
and politeness.
One Of the features OF Mr.. Ebbets's
little party will be the second appear
nnce of Pancho villa. the Filipino BAN
tam and 1yweight. The little Oriental
looks like Aguinaldo and fights like
wildcat. II he continues MS he has
started he will have the price OF many
cocoanuts by the time he sights Cor
regidor Island again and sees the little
nIpa houses between the palm trees that
border the, yellow beaches In the purple
China Sea.N
