Ray watson, the former Kansas

1894 $40 at Detroit last Saturday
shows that Joie Rays teammate IS
ready to make the national cham
pion turn III one Of the fastest
races Of his career at Stage Field
on September 1.
Watson, by the way, Is one OF the
most remarkable athletes In com
petition today. His middle name -
grit. During his early college
days Ray was e. baseball and foot
ball star A cunning accident cost
him his right hand. and, naturally.
his effectiveness on diamond and
gridiron.
Nothing daunted by his misfortune,
Watson went out for the Kansas
Aggies track team. At first he
was something Of q dub, but he
stuck to 1t and, at the end OF his
first season, WAS running the mile
around 4:3O. In his senior year at
college Watson developed amazing
speed and stamina, sweeping all
before him in the mid-Western
miles.
Leaving college. Watson ran for
the Kansas City A. C.. and gar
nered a lot more fame. Last year
ne signalized his advent to real
stardom by taking the measure of
the great Joie Ray in three special
mile races In row.
In the four mile relay race at
Stage Field on June % last. in
which the Illinois A. G.. team estab-
Iished new worlds record. Watson
turned his mile under 4:16, again
showing a better performance than
Ray.
Given the track and pace he likes.
Watson is the fastest finisher
among The n1id-distances on the
track. He likes lightning fast
track and moderate pace through
the first half of the race.

replied that he had the promoter
with him, having found him ex-
hausted from chasing Jack
Kearns.
The commissioners, feeling the
responsibility Of holding Mullins
forfeit so long invited him to take
it down but Paddy declined and
dashed madly fror1 the room
angry enough to lick Dempsey
himself.
At a late hour last evening
Mullins had not cooled out, and
when seen at the Greensboro
Club his thoughts were still unfit
for publication.
II am man of few words, y
declared Paddy, 'but the few
words I can think of just now
are terrible"
Mullins will shortly lay claim
to Dempsey's crown in behalf of
Wills, but it is said he has been
persuaded to take no legal action.
Injunction proceedings would
probably uncover plenty of scam
dial and make this the last season
for boxing here under the Walker
law.

Why the CamoufIage?

IF the commission settled every
thing last Friday, the matter
was kept a dead secret until
Tuesday. After last Fridays
special meeting, at which, it is
said, quorum of commissioners
was not present, officials dis
tinctly stated that while the Ii
cense of Dempsey and Kearns
had been granted, the contracts
between Richard and the fight
ers had merely been filed and
would be taken up Gin the regu-
lar order of business"
Either there was another spe-
cial session since Friday to take
up the regular order of bust
ness" or the official announcers
got their signs mixed.
We now have the spectacle of
the honorable commission trying
to appear officially nonchalent
about the most important matter
that has come before it this
season.
The Dempsey-Firpo match was
either approved last Friday and
not officially announced, or it
was approved Tuesday and an eff
fort made to make it a dead
issue by setting back the date
of approval.
The whole thing is a farce.
When William Muldoon ran the
commission he made mistakes
but he commanded respect. The
present commission is becoming
a laughing stock.
The funniest part Of it is that
if the Dempsey Firpo thing had
been put through the usual chan
nels nobody would have been sur
prised about it as the cards were
stacked some time ago.
Why all the camouflage when
there is no necessity for It?
Why should the commission
"take the SLAP"
Why wasn't Wills entitled to be
counted out in a straightforward
manner?
