COLORED BOXER
DEFEATS FIELDS
FOR WORLD TITLE

DETROIT, May 10. UH-Young
Jack Thompson, veteran of 26l
fights, reigned as boxing king to-
day, the first negro to hold the well
terwcight championship since Joe
Walcott won the title from "Rubc"
Ferns in 1901.
Thompson, right hook special.
list, took the title in an upset match
with Jackie Fields of Chicago last
night by Is round decision. There
was no doubt about the winner and
practically every one in the crowd
agreed with the verdict Of Referee
Slim McClelland.
1t was a great fight, with the
milling so intense throughout the Is
sessions that the referee seldom
found it necessary to touch either
contestant. Both men were willing
to fight, with Thompson advancing
flat footcdly at all times and Fields
trying to keep him away.
Thompson was patient at receiv-
ing hospital this morning, taken
there when he suffered hemorrhages
of the eyes and nose after the
fight.
At the hospital it was said
Thompson's condition was not scri-
GUS and that he probably would be
discharged this afternoon.
Thompson's victory bore out the
contentious of many fans that
Fields isn't great fighter. Since
winning the title the only really
good opponent he met, Young Cor
bctt, beat him but it was not title
match.
Thompson always has been con-
sidered good fighter, but never n
great one. Recently he lost 10
round decision to Irish Jimmy Me-
Larnin in New York and McLarnin
now looms as Thompson's most log
zeal opponent.

Leon "Bombo" Chevalier, negro

night to Angus Snyder, l95, of Kan

Chevalier came into prominence
a few weeks ago when he fought

flied after one of his seconds had
thrown Il towel into the ring. lhe

pended Camera as a result.
The negro, who was credited with
four of the six rounds of the Car

Many Fouls
An unusually large number OF
fouls marred the tilt. Seven were
committed by Brownsville players

a long passing game effectively. The
Scorpions used a short pass, dribble.
They frequently stalled on the Of

prove his argument TO President
Jacob RUPERT and Secretary I'd

next two years, but that offer IS
$4,000 too little and one year 100

Baseball followers considered the
biggest obstacle in the way OF an
agreement was Ruth's demand Tor
contract at $4,000 a year, but Rup-
merit said he would not give Ruth
another one on any terms. The
Yankee president evidently feels
Ruth is getting no younger last and
It would be too much OF a gamble

tract.

Rupert and Barrow said the next
move must come from Ruth. The
Babe said he would leave Saturday

GOLF THRILLS
ON INCREASE
Jones and Smith Expected
To Turn in Outstanding
Performances

NOTT-This is sixth Of a series
OF stories written for The AS
ISOLATED Press by leaders in the
world Of sports based on 1880
prospects.
BY III. III. RAMSAY
chairman, Championship Com
mittee, United States Golf ASSN
NEW YORK. Jan. 8-(P)-The
thrills OF competitive golf are be-
coming greater every year, and I
expect 1880 will break all records
for keen competition and public
interest.
In the first place, there will be
another American invasion OF
Great Britain. Captain Bobby
Jones will sail with the Walker
cup team for England at the end
Of April. After playing in the
Walker cup matches at Sandwich
May Is and May is, most OF the
members OF the team will enter the
British amateur championship and
the British open championship.
Most OF the leading professionals
will compete in the British open.
Many Meets
In the meantime, Miss Glenna
Collett and several Of the leading
American players will compete in
the British women's championship.
IN July, at the Interlachen club,
the United States open champion
ship will be held over a course al
ways in fine condition. The field
is so fast in this event it is al
most a certainty that there will be
a tie, with the resulting playoff.
We expect more than 200 entries
for the qualifying rounds In this
championship.
The amateurs get together at
Philadelphia in September when
the amateur championship will be
played at Merton Cricket club. where
this test vas last played in 1924.
In October, California will see
its second national championship
within two years when the United
States women's title will be de-
cided at the Los Angeles country
club. Shortly afterwards, Leo
Diegal will have a chance 70 de-
fend his title in the p. q. A. cham
pionship, and If he is successful IN
winning again. he will be well on
the way towards the record estab-
lished by Walter Hagen in this
competition.
Bobby Again
SO far as personalities 90 most OF
the interest will be directed, IL my
judgment, TO two men. The first
is Bobby Jones, who will compete
this year in four national cham
pionships. With Jones remarkable
record what it is, OF course il is TO
be expected that he will add sub
stantially 10 his laurels before the
season is over.
Secondly. Horton Smith starts off
again with a remarkable string OF
victories in the winter playing sea-
son. 1 do not mea 10 overlook the
outstanding figures like Walter
Hagen. Leo Diego, Gene SaraZen,
Jimmy Farrell. Craig Wood.
Tommy Armour and AL Watrous. or
Jimmie Johnston, George Won
Elm and a score CT others.
/ think. though, that when the
curtain goes down on 1880. the out
standing performances will have
been by Jones and Smith.

only watch him. but put some speed

They have not gained their mo-
