has it now, together with fair
sized wad.
Erminio Spalla, an Italian light
heavyweight, is all worked up
over his recent victory over some
more or less unknown Dutchman
and insists on coming here and
boarding Jack Dempsey in his
den, provided Jack has a per-
fectly good den.
But two other foreign boxers
have turned down the lure of
American gold. Georges Car
pentier, twice seen on this side
of the pond, has decided to re-
main in Europe and pass up a
chance of meeting Mike McTigue
for the worlds light-heavyweight
title.
Battling Sikh has turned down
a fancy offer to come to America
and enter the ring with Kid Nor
folk. Sikh says he will never
fight again except under the
silken folks Of the tricolor, which
may be just as we'll.
It is doubtful if Carpenter
would be much of a drawing card
on a third visit to this country.
On his first he fattened Battling
Levinsky. On his second he felt
the Furnishing power of Jack
Dempsey's fists and went home,
bent and broken, to fall victim to
Battling Sikh, the sensational
Senegalese.
AS for Sikh, there is no wide
spread demand for him in this
country. Too many sensational
stories have come concerning
him. We have our own Tarzans
here and there. We need no
others.

Goose Goslin showed a remark

yesterdays contest. He accepted
eight chances in the garden, his
great catch of Perkins effort In the
third robbing the Mackmen Of an
extra base wallop. Goslin is play
ing under difficulties, having a very
lame left foot.
The Mackmen left town last night
not in the best Of spirits. They
came intent on making a clean
sweep Of their five games and
crawling up that much closer to the
Yankees. They started off with
three straight wins. Then they ran
INTO Walter Johnson's cold water
treatment and yesterday Jonkheer
EollingsWorth gave them his own
pet acid treatment. They had to
be satisfied with the odd victory in
the series.
Base hits fell like the leaves In
autumn as the Tigers outlasted the
Indians, to 7. Thirty hits were
made during the game.
The Cardinals leap.frogged into
fourth place by disposing of the
Pirates, 4 to 3.
Not a hit was made by the Reds
off Osborne until one man was out

error was followed by three hits.

While Hollingsworth deserves
great credit, nevertheless the entire

double, advancing on q sacrifice and

by two sacrifices, gave the AS their

.rhe single exception, however,
was all-important. They should
have known that no champion
fights unless the spirit-and the
box office-moves him. Since beat
ing Willard the hero of Maumee
Bay has met just three men-Billy
Miske, Bnl Brennan and Georges
Carpenter - all pushovers. Tom
Gibbons may or may not develop
similar tendencies at Shelby, Mont,
July 4. So much for Dempsey, the
champion.
They are making much OF Luis
Firpo because the South American
contender is willing to sign for
matches without tedious prelirui-
naries and arguments. It is the
common belief that F'irpo would be
a fighting champion. It is to guf-
faw. Even now we can see Firpo,
as champion, giving promoters the
elevated eyebrow.
That seems 20 be the accepted
procedure for all title holders.
Freddie Welsh indulged in so
many no-decisiOn bouts that the
customers how1ed with great gusto
when he was knocked over by
Benny Leonard. The latter had

his nOnchampionship days and

Instead, for several years he

In a bout to a decision.
The other champions are much
the same. Pancho Villa was a most
active gent until he beat Johnny
Buff out of his nyweight title.
After that 1t took months to get
the Filipino into the ring with
frankie Genaro, the present cham
fion. Johnny Kilbane, late feather
weight boss, is another business
man. SO is Mickey Walker, weller
weight champion, although before
he won that title Mickey was fight
ing almost every week.
Johnny Wilson was never par
ticularly anxious to expose his mid
dleweight championship to uncouth
assaults, and even il he did Null
doon's proclamations would have
deferred him. Neither Harry Greb
nor Gene Tunney, who have been
playing put and take with the light
heavyweight crown, seems able to
hold on to the title long enough to
furnish direct evidence on his in
clinations.

Tended his title. He battled
Johnny Dundee to a draw in
twenty y 'ounds in Denver. He
knocked out George CLANCY in
three rounds. He succumbed to
Gene Criqui in six rounds.
What was Kilbane doing
through all those years he held
the American title? Making
money, largely. He took on
everybody. The saps were faced
in decision contests. The tough
boys had to accept no-decieion
contests. Kilbane had no inten-
ton of losing his championship
before it was absolutely neces-
sary. He proved himself a smart
business man when it came to
defending his title.
No, Kilbane is not likely to at
tempt a comeback. Thirty-four
years of age, father of a nine
year-old daughter and owner of a
paying tire business in Cleveland,
not to mention a large farm near
Sandusky, Kilbane will hardly be
seen in the ring again.
There is this to be said for
the former featherweight title
holder. He went down fighting
with a smile on his face. He
congratulated his conqueror, wish
ing him all the success possible.
Ring titles are changing own
ers rapidly of late. Not in years
has boxing been in such a healthy
condition, if that is marked by
frequent appearances of cham
pions. The next big title clash
will see Jack Dempsey in action.
If he happens to be knocked out,
the march Of events will merely
have taken another step onward.
Dundee Is Next.
OHNNY DUNDEE, who with
in a week lost his alleged
y title, the junior lightweight,
to Jack Bernstein, is to be the
next opponent of Criqui's. They
are to enter the ring within sixty
days, Criqui taking up the agree
ment Dundee had with Kilbanc
before Saturdays contest.
Those watching Criqui marked
his hard blows to the body, his
constant boring in, his sharp eye
out for the opportunity and his
lightning speed in Selling that
opportunity. This combination
has made him a world champion
among the featherweights.
Against Bernstein, who bores
in much after the style shown by
Criqui, Dundee seemed slow, his
blows weak. Just what hope he
may have of grabbing the title
is difficult to see.
Dundee is a battered warrior
of the ring. He has fought
everybody, big and little, for
more than ten years. He has
burned himself out with constant
training. Though he is entitled
to his chance, it does not seem
possible that he may defeat the
new champion-not on what each
has shown in his last contest.

Western Senator For
Public Ownership
(By Federated Press)

Washington.-Sen Howell of
Nebraska, elected by the Norris Re-
publicans to replace the Democratic
conservative, Hitchcock, has been for
many years in charge of the munich
pal waterworks, ice factory and gas
plant of the city of Omaha. He led
the fight for the purchase of the wat
erworks when he was city engineer,
and under his administration it be-
came highly profitable. The ice busi-
ness proved successful, also, while re-
ducing prices more than 100000 a
year to the consumer. The gas busi-
ness is a big success both as to rates
and profit and betterments of serv-
ice.
Howell is cautious in his opinion as
to railway legislation. He favors re-
peal of the Esch-C -Cummins law, in or
der that minimum rates may be abol-
ished. He favors purchase of only
one or two trunk lines rather than of
all railroads at once-if a choice be-
tween the two is to be made. Office
staffs are so hostile to public opera
tion, he says, that gradual conver--
sion or elimination of this personnel
is necessary to efficient management.
