Featherweights
Have Interesting
Ring Background
Especial TO the Democracy

Boston, June 1.-The Willie Pep
Sal Bartolo match al Braves Field
on June for the featherWeight
title Of the world Will be the first
outdoors championship bout ever
held In Boston, The first fight for
the ieatherweght title was also an
outdoors match, but it differed
greatly from the battle in which the
lad from Hartford, Conn, will de-
icnd his title against the mauling
midget from East Boston.
The first world featherWeight
championship match was held IN
the late Eighties and it took two
days 10 decide the contest Fifteen
rounds will suffice to decide the
match that Messrs. Jack O'Bricn
ard Eddie Mack. OF the Boston
Boxing Assn, are staging at Braves
Field come the merry month Of
June.
The first fight for the title OF fea-
therWeight was between one Dial
Hawkins and on Freddy Began N
an open field In San Francisco. San
Francisco In those days was the
town between two gold rushes. MI
nerS who had speared placer claims
that lesser men had given up as
barren, were back TO the Barbary
Coast with their bellies bul3lng
with money belts, and others who
had endured the salt pork and
chicory OF The Rush for years with
out finding single golden nugget
in a grain OF quartz, we're back too,
lean, empty handed and voraclouS.
San Francisco was still large mud
puddle with few makc-Shlft frame
mansions" around 1t, and into the
middle OF this mud puddle they
threw the ring,
The fight was held IN 1880. II was
TO be Is rounds, but the sun which
dips into the Pacific halted 1t IN
one OF tho first records OF a sport
Ing event being called Oh account
Of darkness"
There were tough men In those
days and they continued the battle
the next afternoon, with Hawkins
finally knocking out Began IN the
10th round Of the second days fight.
Hawkins, who outgrcw his class Ike
so many other featherWeI2h fight
crS, was the first worlds champion
IN the division that has brought
many colorlul characters 10 the
ring.
Since then the ring has had many
famous and fancy fcatherwci2ht
champions, among them George
Dixon, Terry McGoycrn, Young
Corbett, Abe Atell, Johnny Kilbane,
Johnny Dundee, Tony Canzoneri,
Battling Battalino, Kid Chocolate
and Freddie Miller.
Among the most memorable con-
tests was that between Dixon and
Jack Shelley In 1892. DiXon who
had outgroWn the bantam division,
threw terrific punch In the eighth
round and knocked out Skcllcy.
That was In September. The follow
ing March he was awarded a belt
with more diamonds than were en-
cruSted IN Mrs. AStorS' tiara. An
other notable fight was that between
KID Chocolate and Lew Feldman in
1882, IN Brooklyn. Chocolate
knocked Feldman out in the 18th
round.
Miller, who won the champion
ship from Tommy Paul at Chicago,
toured Europe fought every preten-
der they wanted to throw against
him. He battled "a times on the
Continent, won 80 contests, lost two,
drew two.
A featherweight champ who may
rank with the best of them will be
crowned after Pep and Bartolo
feint, duck and slug it out under
the aegis of O'Brien and Mack at
Braves Field on June 8.
