ME- TEOR|C RISE
Of FILIPINO
ASTOUNDS
Pancho Villa in Little More
Than a Year Wins Fly
weight Title.

The rise of Pancho Villa, the new
champion Of the world, has been
little short of meteoric. Slightly
more than year ago he was I'M
known in this country. The Philip
pines knew him and knew him to
be a fighter of great ability. When
he came here there was no great
blare of trumpets, but from the first
he was recognized as a boxer above
the ordinary. His Improvement has
been rapid. He has learned Amer1-
can ring methods quickly. 1t is to
the fact that he Is an apt pupil. as
much as to his natural ability, that
the little Filipino owes his success.
Villa was born on the island of
Iloilo on August i, 1901. He is
tWenty-one years old. One day,
Villa emerged from the cane brakes
of his native Iloilo and wandered
into Manila. He was ragged and
hungry. He made friends with one
of the men who assist Frank
Churchill in conducting his boxing
stadium in Manila. In connection
with the stadium Churchill conducts
a boxing school for amateurs, and
once a week the boys are tried out
in four-round bouts. Villa was in
terested. He determined to try the
sport. He made good and soon be-
came professional.
Pancho went along winning in
impressive fashion. Then came the
big day in his life. George Mendres,
the flyweight champion of Australia.
stopped off at Manila on his way to
England to seek bout with Jimmy
Wilde for the worlds championship.
Mendres agreed to box Villa and
Villa knocked him out in three
rounds. If Mendres was good
enough to try for the worlds cham
pionship. why shouldn't he, thought
Villa. A syndicate of sportsmen
sent him to this country with Elmo
Flores, the lightweight, in charge of
Frank Churchill.
Monday nights fight was Villas
eighty-ninth. He has won seven
teen by knockouts and fifty-two by
decisions. He has been out-pointed
four times, boxed thirteen no-decision
bouts and three draws.

RICHARD CLAIMS
He WILL SUE
LEONARD
Declares Champion Is Under
Contract to Meet White
Before Tender.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Promoter
Tex Richard threatened the law on
the crowned head of Benny Leon
ard. lightweight champion, today.
Richard promised suits against
Billy Gibson, Leonard's manager,
Charley White, Chicago mitt artist,
and any and all persons who in
terfered with a meeting of the two
punchers.
Richard claims to hold contract
with Leonard and White in which
the two agreed to do battle for
him before Leonard puts on a
glove against anybody else.
At the same time the Cromwell
Athletic Club of New York-lease-
holders for fights at the Yankee
stadium-announce the signing of
Leonard and Lew Tender, Phila-
delphian, to meet in a 15-round de-
cision go to be staged the night of
July %.
Both Leonard and Tender have
affixed John Hancocks to the
agreement. They pledge to make
1876 at o'clock on the fight date.
Leonard is to get 35 per cent of
the net-Tendler Is.
But they can't fight-Leonard
has to fight White first" Richard
answers. Richard had Leonard and
White signed to meet October 3,
last, in Jersey. Leonard's. jaw be-
came infected. A postponement re-
suited. "I'll go to court, that con.
tract is still good" Richard insists.

BOSTON, June 20.-Judge Emil

reason to believe that Mickey
O'Neil, catcher, who left the team

4OE LIE championship UOuL.
Gibbons is the pride, because, as
a man. he Is one OF the most popu- I
lar individuals this side of the Mis-
sissippi. He Is the mystery because
as a fighter no human eye can fore.
cast whether he will be able to
stand up under the seeking that
Dempsey is disposed to visit upon
his victims.
Shelby would be pleased to know
just how Gibbons perfectly tuned
anatomy will react to the Dempsey
attack. 1t is more than casually
interested in view of the fact that
IL would like to take some of the
short end money, if it could only
be certain that bucks tossed upon

Apparently the boys just hap
pened to feel affluent on one of

the clear, cool eye of man who
knows that his well being Is beyond

It knows him also as fighter
whose speed is such that even
Dempsey may have trouble in
reaching him and whose punch is
sufficiently ponderous to ruin the
first jaw it happens to meet. Yet
its uncertainty seems to be most
natural.
The writer has watched Gibbons
with considerable care in his daily
workouts and can do no less than
say that they are impressive. He
seems to have everything, including
the will to win, but Dempsey is
Dempsey. It is no simple matter
to pick a man to finish second who

BERLIN, July 14.-Princess Louise
Coburg, daughter of the late King
Leopold Of Belgium, and related by
blood or marriage to most or the
kings and former monarchs of Europe,

She has been compelled to abandon
her riding master husband, GeZa
Mattaschich, and seek food and
shelter alone in the home of her sis
ter. now the Countess Lonyay. but
formerly the wife of the late Crown
Prince Rudolf of Austria.
Princess Louise deserted her hus-
band, Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg,
in 1906, and travelled about Europe
with the Hungarian riding master
whom she married after her hus-
bands death. This marriage failed
TO pacify her relatives, who refused
to accept Mattaschich. He is now

princess has taken up residence with
her sister at the Castle Ordshaza in
Hungary.
Princess Louise has tried repeatedly
TO break her fathers will, as he had
made his favorite daughter, Baroness
Vaughan. his chief heir. But the Bel
Eian courts have always decided
against her. Her personal estate was
diSsipated and confscated during the
war. as much of her money was in

Belgium. as we'll as her other rela-
