FOREIGNERS TO FRONT IN BOXING CIRCLES
ENGLISH LIGHTWEIGHTS LINED UP
TO ANNEX HONORS FROM WOLGAST
Crockery-Armed Champion Must Face Either Moran or Welsh
and Chances Are That Either Will Defeat Poorly Managed
Cadillac Youth— Pontypridd Boy Reaping Golden
Harvest Through Regular Bouts in Old Coun
try- but May Give It Up to Come
Across and Issue Challenge
Business is picking up for the English lightweights, and from
where we sit it looks very much as though the next holder of the
.world's title in that division would sign himself as coming
from across the din. Freddie
Welsh and Owen .Moran, both
sons of the tight little We. arc
close up in line for Ihe honor, and
one or the other has a fair chance
to cop.
Jt .ill depends on which is first
on the job. Hardly a folower of
boxing will raise a protesting
. murmur when the fact is declared
that Ad Wolgast is the poorest
excuse for a champion the world
has seen in many a decade. Not
i only is the Cadillac youth shy
qualifications to lead the march
but he is also one of the most
poorly managed kids in the busi
ness. With Tom Jones at the
helm, whatever ability Wolgast
may possess is kept out of sight,
for the only two matches he has
had since becoming champ have
resulted in injury to his crockery
ami— and not much money in the
gate to make up for it, cither.
So now it's up to either Welsh
Moran. The former is at
present engaged in gathering in
the golden hay while the sun
shines on clear old England's
pugilistic meadows. Almost ev
ery week Freddie is signed to
j show at some club or other, and
always his opponent is some sec
ond-rater who would be duck
soup for Kid Dalton. But even
so, Welsh gets his reward in the
shape of so many pounds a show,
and that's what he works for.
According to talk, Moran and Wolgast will meet in Frisco be
fore Jimmy Coffroth's club some time after the first of the year.
With the champion saying one thing and Tom Jones another it is
hard to learn just when the bout will be staged, but in all probabil
ity Washington's Birthday will be used for the big event. Should
Moran go along well until that time and leave the down town life
alone, prospects are that he will give the title a change of owners,
-«^«"fer-rf recent bouts are to be taken as a basis of dope, Wolgast's arms
iwill not hold up for him through any kind of a milling trip.
Of the two English boys. Wolsh is*
undoubtedly the better. In all his
fights here the lad from Pontypridd
showed speed and science which no
boy in the country could equal. Even
Abie Attell was unable to solve his
defense—and offense—and with the
feather premier not there to do the
trick how much of a chance do the rest
stand?
Welsh, should he become champion in
side of a year, promises to hold bli
title in a manner similar to that ex
ercised by Attell. Both boys are so
superlatively clever that a knockout
against them Is next to impossible. For
years Attell has been going around the
country meeting boob money on till
sides, and by careful management lias
kept himself out of harm's way. When
pressed to it in defense of his title
Abie la willing to go the twenty round
route, but at all other times it is six
or ten for his.
With similar good judgment Welsh.
once he gets by the rough ones and
reaches a position where he can dic
tate terms, should enjoy a Vogue equal
to that of the little Hebrew's. The
Hme crop is getting short in England,
so he may sail ut any time ami cut In
on the good tiling which should event
ually make him champion.

ENTERTAIN HOPES
Announcement of August Belmont
Regarding Westchester Asso
ciation's Plans Approved
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—During the
past few weeks the followers of racing
in New York state have been treated
to very good news, but nothing was
more pleasing to them than the an
nouncement that the Westchester Rac
ing association would open its stake
books right after the first of the year.
The statement tame direct from
August Belmont, chairman of the
Jockey club, and the fact that a man
so prominent as Belmont has taken
sui h a favorable view of the game for
next season makes it look as it all
c Cor meets on Long Island or
ont park, at least, have not gone
a-glimmering because of the passage
oi the anti-betting laws of the last
session of the legislature.
It has been apparent fur some time
thai the Srratoga Racing association
would hold a meet next year, r.o mut
ter what the laws were, for the stakes
of that organization have been op< n
for some time. As a further favorable
announcement comes the news thut

Frank Chance,
after a week's stay
in San Francisco
and Fresno, re
turned ho lie yes

machine which ha
went north to Ret.
The Peerless Lead
er was out at Ver

ternoon watching
the Shamrocks and
Doylei g-o through
their ten-inning
session, but failed
to produce any con
tracts calling for
signatures from
those on the lot.
Chance will go to
work in a few fr\nk CHANCX
works getting things ready for the
winter training siege Cub recruits are
slated for, and In the meantime will
be kept busy harvesting his orange crop
oft the Glendora ranch.
Neither the biting breezes of fall
nor tin? snows of winter can chill the
enthusiasm of the truo baseball fan.
For daya niter the season has closed

deserted bnll park, where be has spent
so many happy hours, and he gazes
as mournfully upon the closed gates
as the banished Peri must have looked
upon the guarded portals of paradise.
Long before the spring training quar
ters have been decided on the baseball
bug Is busy figuring out tho many
reasons why his favorites should
clinch the next season's pennant. The
Giant dope artists have long been
busy. Tho fact that Chicngo must
regenerate its team and that Now York
finished ahead of Pittsburg in this
year's race is ample excuse for the
Manhattan enthusiast to figure that
the men of McOraw are pointed for
the chamulonship of 3311. The early
signing of McGraw, Mathewson,
Meyers. Devore and Schafer has given
the fans more material for rejoicing.
Probably John McGraw doesn't know
himself what the Giant lineup will
look like next season, but many of the
Polo ground patrons have the matter
settled to their entire satisfaction.
Meanwhile for them time crawls on
leaden feet, and they impatiently exist
through each passing day while wait

Imll sky at the opening of the train

It is expected that Princeton uni
versity will enter crews in Intercolle
giate contests next spring. Since
Carnegie lake has been available there
has been plenty of interest in rowing:
at Princeton. Class regattas have
been a success, and during a college
generation of rowing practice, some
good oarsmen have been trained in
TlßOrtown. The only things which pre-
I rowing becoming a varstly
sport were a lack of men interested
and the possibility of stunting other
teams by enrolling crew candidates.
Whpn the next legislature convenes
at Albany, N. V., a hill will be intro
duced legalizing public boxing exhibi
tions of a limited number of rounds
Inf.To incorporated athletic clubs.
Several well known boxing enthusiasts
are behind this measure and have re
ceived assurance that it will meet with
some approval. It is understood that
the bill will include a provision for a
state boxing commission tn be com
posed of three members to be ap
pointed by the gover/ior and whose
duties will include the issuing of li
censes to clubs of recognized stability.
The framers of the bill believe that
clubs should pay high fees for licenses,
say $ICOO a club annually, with a per
centage of net receipts to be collected
as a state tax, the entire money thus
realized to be turned over to the
state's charitable institutions. By ex
acting a big license fee and a tax it
is figured that the proposed boxing
law would bar fly by night clubs from
operating and would limit the number
of legitimate organizations to compar
atively few. A State commission, it
is shown, would also grant a permit
for pach contest, so that it would be
possible to prevent battles that might
be termed "prize fights" because of
the notoriety of the pugilists. The
commission would also have power to
frame rules governing the clubs which
would compel all contestants to be
physically examined by competent doc
tors; to appoint official referees, who
would have to show a thorough knowl
edge of how to conduct a match; also
to adopt a uniform set of boxing rules,
stipulating the weight of the gloves,
t!ie size of the ring, the time for
weighing and the limits in all classes
It is planned to limit the number of
rounds of each contest to twenty rounds
of three minutes each, with a compul
sory rule that referees must prevent

LASKER STILL LEADS
BERLIN, Nov. 27.—Jandwski opeimd
tlie eighth came of the Cliess cham
pionship tournament apainst Dr. Em
manuel Laaker here today. When ad
journment was taken this evening
I knockouts at all hazards, Clubs that
permit open betting on bouts will for
feit their licenses, which may also be
revoked by the commission for any
other breach of the rules. The object
in trying to have such a bill passed is
to keep boxing on a high plane, cut
ting out irresponsible promoters who
allow inexperienced beys and young
men to fight for a few dollars in the
back rooms of saloons or In concert
halls under the guise of "athletic
club*." The recognized clubs with big
arenas believe that boxing should be
legalized In such a way that any citi
zen with the price can see a first class
bout between experienced, carefully
trained pugilists. I'ndcr the present
interpretation of the law the boxing
clubs are treading on thin ice. In fact
they owe their existence to the toler
ance of the authorities and are liable
to be closed the moment anything sen
sational occurs. There are hundreds
of well known citizens who patronize
local boxing clubs, having passed
through a lot of red tape to become
"members," while there are many
more who would doubtless enjoy the
fun if they could do so without in
convenience. At least this is the argu
ment set forth by the men who seem
bent upon having the legislature pass
a law that frill bring back to New
York city the kind of matches that
draw large crowds and cause a lot of
public interest. They argue that legal
ized boxing bouts will bring many
visitors with money here and will put
the metropolis on the sporting mat
again.
If the present plans of Hugh D. Mc-
Intosh and Jimmy Britt do not go
astray the English sporting public, and
particularly those living in London,
will have an opportunity to join an
athletic organization the like of which
does not exist in the British isles. It
is to be modeled on the lines of the
New York Athletic club. Olympic club
of San Francisco, and Chicago Athlet
ic association, and aside from the us
ual features for the furtherance of
sport, the art of self-defense will be
more than a side issue.
Professional contests will be held
weekly, with one big special night a
month. When it is known that in all
the city of London there Is not an or
ganization, not even the London Ath
letic club, which caters to general sport
along the lines proposed by Mclntosh
and Britt, they seem to have locat
ed a virgin field for the new club.
With the fulfillment of the plans the
better class young man In the English
metropolis will have a place where he
can do his work under intelligent su
pervision, get the proper attention aft
erward, and altogether enjoy the eom
fcrts of a well appointed club, which
he is not able to do at present. In
connection with the plans for the club
Jimmy hopes to find through the med
ium of the weekly and monthly con
tests a white champion who can be
pitted against Jack Johnson. At pres
ent Britt is looking after the interests
of Bombadier Wells, of whom he ex
pects great things.
That ever-enterprising kangaroo cit
izen, Hugh Mclntosh, Is still in pos
session of the idea that he can land
the Langford-Johnson melee. He of
fers to come through with $15,000 for
Johnson's end of the purse If the two
will mix during Coronation week in
London.
An energetic young person by the
name of Tinker, erstwhile shortstop
of the Chicago Cubs, has displayed a
very grasping spirit. Not content with
the large salary he draws from his
baseball endeavors, Mr. Tinker has
contracted an engagement of ten
weeks on the Pacific coast vaudeville
stage. Mr. Tinker's stunt will be a
monologue. Eastern umpires say he
needs no practice.
Joe Choynski has joined the ranks of
those who have candidates to whip
Jack Johnson. In a sketch in which
Choynski appears nightly he recently
introduced a youth by the name of
Miles McLeod, whom he claims will
defeat Johnson inside of a year.
Minnesota has taken her recent de
feat by Michigan very much to heart,
as was evinced by the action of the
college in inviting the conference teams
to hold their track meet at Minneap
olis next June. This action makes it
practically certain that Minnesota will
not play Micigan next season.
Johnny Evers is the latest ball player
to defy "the powers that be" and re
fuse to sign his contract for 1911.
Johnny i.« ottered a very fat job, finan
cially, coaching the Navy team, and if
he signs for this job he will have to
report lor training- too early to finish
his coaching engagement. So there
you are.

The Huguenot, Related to Famous
Harness Performers, May
Take Place in Annals
DETROIT, Mich.. Nov. Accord
ing to late reports, one of the trotters
on which Pop Goers will rely to get
the money in the Grand Circuit stakes
next season, will be the bay six-year
old stallion, the Huguenot, which took
a record of 2:271-4 two years ago.
More than the usual amount of inter
est attaches to this horse on account
of his relationship to two of the most
famous horses in the history of the
harness turf, both of which were
trained and raced to their best rec
ord! by <;•(!. These are The Abbot,
2-03 1-4, former world's champion trot
ter, and The Abbe, 2:04, the unbeaten
pacer of the past season, which won
no less than eleven straight races lor
Geers, losing but a single heat the en
tire season. These horses are full
brothers to The Huguenot, being sired
by Chimes, out of the famous brood
mare, Nettie King, by Mambrino King,
and all are products of the famous
Village farm, when: the Silent Man was
for so many years head trainer.
The Huguenot Is owned by Arthur H.
Parker, New Medford, Mass., the man
who at one time owned the famous sire
Blngen, 2:06 1-4, and also the breeder
of his most famous son. the world's

Fight Lasts 10 lnn... M s
With a morning victory theirs by
a 9-8 scoare, Jim McCormck's Sham
rocks were put to ten hard innings of
fighting at Vernon yesterday after
noon to again hang it on the Doyles.
Finally the needed tally was sent
over, 3 to 2 being the price.
The before lunch contest was not
much of a bout. The Doyles broke all
right, bumping rieaton for a pair of
hits which netted a trio of bell ring
ers in the final act. Beginning with
the fourth frame, however, the order
of procedure was reversed and fr<m
then on ther waa nothing to it but
McCormick's bunch. Six errors by the
Doyles contributed muchly to the
enemy's cause.
Ellis led off In the afternoon fray
by getting transportation, and ambled
to second o/\ a wild pitch. Mohler's
i. ield single sent, him to the corner
sack r d the Kid followed his effort
by stealing the second stop. Then
Warrender came along to get both his
predecessors home with a slap to the
left field fence.
In the third Carlisle started some
thing for the Shamrocks by slamming
a triple over first and registering on
Breen's single. The eighth found
Breen again there with the club. His
e.i'ort was a engle to right and a
purloin of the keystone pillow. Ber
nard's out sent him to third, and after
Daley had reached first on wide ones
the pair executed a double steal.
With everything tied in the tenth
Breen nnce more demonstrate! his
ability by doubling to left field. Ber
nard's retirement again put him on
third, and after Daley had fouled out
Howard singled Infield to score the
winning tally. Tho numbers:

THISTLES AND RANGERS
BATTLE TO A TIE, 5-5
Soccer of a classy brand was enjoyed
by a large crowd at Fiesta park yester
day afternoon, when the Thistles and
Rangers fought to a tie, 5 to 5. Both
teams grave a scientific exhibition of
soccer, the Rangers having slightly the
better of the argument. McDougall
was the shining light for the Thistles,
scoring their goal In the first half after
some of the prettiest combination work
ever seen on a local field.
The Rangers evened matters In trie
second half, when McFarlane hurled a
swift hard goal that gave Burdon, for
the Thistles, no opportunity to stop.
For the rest of the half the Rangers
kept the Thistle goal in constant dan
ger. W. Todd was referee.

M'CREDIE PLANS
ANOTHER VICTORY
Portland Coast League Baseball
Magnate Searching for Best
Possible Material
PORTLAND, Nov. 27.— Manager Mo-
Credie announces that tho Coast league
has waived on all the men he planned
for the Northwest league team with
the exception of Hetllng. Ha says that
Seaton and Steen are the only mem
bers of his old staff he will have on
the Ducks next year, so Garrott and
Bolce must have been waived on. The
Beavers are also to have a new second
baseman, and Krueger, Ryan. Cough
and Rodgers are to bo outfield, so Cas
ey, Speas and Ort will go to the north-
Concerning the Ducks for 1911, Man
ager Md-'rerlte says:
"I shall have a stronger team next
year than I had to win the pennant
with this. Of course, Oreff will bo
missed. Any team In the world wouia
miss him after having him a season,
but his loss is the only one we will
feel, and we will have a bunch of twlr
lers that may make us forget our loss
"I will not be able to announce my
line-up complete before February. I
have made some deals In tho east for
high class men. They are not ones
that would be waived on if waivers
should bo asked right now, but by
waiting until the winter is about over,
the other managers will K«t tneir
clubs made up, and then I can get Dy
with my men. .
"I will havo Tommy Shcehan again
next year. I will havp Krueger, too.
My trip east was partly to get them
for next year, for until I was there I
only had them to finish this season.
I consider that the two of them did
as much to land the pennant as any
one else on the oluh. The fans nil know
what a hole Sheehan filled. Kruesor
came from the major league in the
midst of the season, and many men
are so constituted that they would have
Bulked over it. That Dutchman took
up his bat here as willingly ;is any
where else and helped In every game.
"Mike Finn tells mo that Rodgera,
whom I drafted from Wat.rbury. will
make good in any league. For years
I have been looking for a man to ln'ad
my batting order. Rodßi-is is the man.
He is a left-handed hitter and moves
like lightning. He pets to Brit In about
two strides and sometimes in a strido
and a half.
"My shortstop position Is in the air
yet. Cleveland thinks mighty well of
Pecklnpaugh. Olson is going to have
the fight of his life to beat that young
ster for the short field of the Naps,
and I will consider myself mighty lucky
if I get the loser in the contest. Cleve
land may keep him for utility inflelder.
"The Cleveland club was very much
pleased that I landed Southpaw Archer
of Davenport in the draft. T K'H the
'dope' on Archer after the clos" of the
major league drafting season. The
Cleveland scouts, 'Pull-'em-up' Schafer
and Joe McCarthy all tell me that hi; Is
as fine a pitcher as they know of short
Of major league stuff, and that a sin
gle season will make him ripe for that
company. In the thirty lames he pitched
for Davenport he was hit hard only
twice.
"I have been asked to train at Fres
no next year, and I may go there. I
likec. Santa Maria all right, but there
Is greater chance to get games at Fres
no. I want to get a number of games
with the Boston Americans, who train
In California next spring."
