Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil,
who was recognized as the title
holder, had outgrown the class
and moved lip to the middIeweight
division, where he won the honors.
McAuliffe challenged the world
1t 1873 pounds and beat everything
before him. He was the first
American to hold the lightweight
championship, and retired unde-
feated when he handed over the
belt to Kid Isavigne in New York
city in 1892.
A letter from him follows:

Boxing wasn't given as much
publicitv in the early days and
a champion was hardly known
outside of his own city. The
heavyweights got all the big
notices and the smaller classes
were almost ignored.

to pronounce then, too, and that
was sort of handicap. Today,
the names of sport champions
would take an expert TO pronounce
correctly, but they are given so
much publicity the public makes

Insidious Slap

Of Scribe
BY FRANK F. o'NEILL


NEW YORK, Feb. Paul
Berlenbach. worlds light heavy
weight champion, is being made
the victim of one of the most
cowardly attacks ever launched at
. real fighting champion. James
]. Johnston, manager of Mike Me-
Tigue, has turned loose q flood
Of propaganda tending to show
that Berlenbach willfully shirked
military duty in 1917 because of
his German origin.
Johnston skillfuIIy makes use Of
an alleged interview with Berlen
bach, In which Paul is made to
say that he did not serve because
he could not hurt his German
mother.
Berlenbach at this time is "a years
of age. President Woodrow Will
son declared war on Germany In
April Of 1917 At that time Berlin
bach was but Is years of age and
not eligible for military duty. The.
power OF inference Is strong, and
Johnston adroitly makes use 0f al
potent blade tos support his conter-
ton that Pound Elm Paul fears

Mr.. Johnston Ii wrong on two
counts. In the first place, to dis
miss the minor count at once,
Ber1enbach does not fear any man
In the ring. But Berlenbach saw
Tiger Flowers robbed of q decf-
sion against Mike McTigue.
Perhaps he wonders what would
happen IL he knocked out McTigue
with q body punch. He can whip
a ringful of Mike McTigues He
can't lick the men outside Of the
ropes.
Berlenbach was Is years old
when war summoned America s men
to the colors But Berlenbach' s
brother was older The military
records of the United States show
that one Of PauI's brothers enlist
ed and went overseas The same
records show that this brother spent
many q weary day In the hospitals
Of france. Jimmy Johnston is the
proud daddy Of large family.
Paul BerIenbach would like to know
how many honorable discharges
from military service In the world
war the Johnston family can show.

AUTO RAGING STARS
GATHER AT LAUREL

Fast race cars of America and
Europe are being placed on the Balti-
more. Washington Speedway late this
afternoon to Ne tuned for the races
there next Saturday afternoon.
BY tomorrow the majority of the
speed demons OF the National Motor
Racing Association expect to have
their mounts at Laurel to- spend the
remainder Of the week in a series Of
cQntinuous trial runs to adapt the
cars better to the big board oval.
The cars which began arriving al
the track to-day include practically all
those prominent in speedway racing.
Albert n. Jacobs, secretary of the
National Motors Racing Association
and the man who is in full charge of
the actual track preparations for Sat
urday's races, announced that he will
insist on every driver who is to qualify
having his mount on the boards to-
morrow unless 1t is impossible to have
necessary mechanical changes made
by that time.
Cars that will run on Saturday
have been undergoing a complete re-
vamping, with many adaptations to
the faster speedway driving still to be
made. Since race cars carry differen-
tials that vary according to their use
on dirt or board tracks and gear ratios
and other necha Dical details that vary
accordingly, the next few days must
be spent by the speedsters in making
these mechanical preparations.
1t is the aim of Jacobs to have the
cars ready to begin trial sprints to-
morrow. From then until race time
on Saturday he. hopes to have the
racers roaring around the big pine
bowl for the double purpose of giving
the drivers plenty of practice in tax
ing the 4S-dcSree banking on the
turns without mishap and at the same
time giving motor racing fans an op-
portunity of getting a good look at
the dare, devils and picking their
favorites before Saturday.
National Motor Racing Association
drivers come to Washington from the
new Philadelphia Speedway at Lang
horne, Pa. which has been demon
strated to he the fastest dirt track on
any circuit.
Entries will include such stellar per-
formers of the national racing body
as Jimmy Gleason, who has driven on
