New York Giants Keep Up Winning Streak; Yankees are Unable to Win
Wekh May Get Chancfe t World's Title
lightweight Champion of England, After Many Attempts, Expects to Meet
Willie Ritchie Near Vancouver on Labor Day.
By THOS.
FOR three years Freddy Welsh, the
British lightweight champion, has
been trying to get on a cham
pionship match in this country, bat
without success. In 1910 he came over
here and tried to match up with Bat
tling Nelson and then Ad Wolgaqt. bnt
never succeeded in getting near his
goal, until 1911, when be was snatched
with Wolgast at Los Angeles. The ill
ness of Wolgast prevented the contest
and Willie Ritchie was substituted,
Welsh winning tie boat on points.
Then came the match between Ritchie
and Wolgast for the title and Willie
won it. "Welsh, unable to get on a title
match here, returned to England to try
and wipe out the defeat he suffered pre
viously at the hands of Matt Wells Ifor
the British title. Freddy finally got
Ms rival into another match and on No
ember 11, 1912, he turned the tables,
defeating Wells. Later he defeated
Hughie Mehegan. of Australia, and
Thereby won the lightweight champion
ship of Europe and also Australasia.
With the title of two countries at his
belt. Freddy returned to the states and
once more began a campaign for a title
match and this time it looks as though
he will succeed, for from reports re
reived by the writer, he will meet
Ritchie in a world's championship
match at a point near Vancouver, B. Cl,
Labor day. It will be the first real in
ternational match of the kind since
Kid Lavigne fought in England some
pars ago Of course this all depends
upon Ritchie winning from Rivers at
Sin Francisco July 4.
The scene of the encounter will be
at Bnsrhouse, about eight miles out of
"V ancouver, and the arena will seat over
7000 pecple. The match is as good as
made no . it all depends upon the
outcome of the big holiday bout. The
w ight will in all probability be 135
I ounds, which will suit both nicely, al
x lough Welsh can make the 133 with
out any bother.
If the boys do come together it will
be a contest worth seeing, for both
tre different style boxers, which means
that a good bout will result. Welsh
has more cleverness than Ritchie,
while the latter is the more aggres
se and stronger, the proper com
binations to bring about a cracker
jack battle. It will also decide once
Kilbane Is Now a Lonesome Fighter
Feathti weight Champion fights Himself Oat of a Fortune by EHmnatiBg
All Boxers in His Class.
LOS ANGELES, Calif, July 3.
Johnny Kilbane, .featherweight
champion is in the most extraor
dinary predicament that any cham
pion ever found himself. He is bo
brilliantly, sparklingly, bewilderingly
: lever that the public doesn't care to
see bim box. He is the lonesomest
fjRhter who ever lived.
No promoter cares to risk much on
a Kilbane fight because no feather
weight can be found near enough fc

than anything else, an exhibition of
shadow boxing with one entirely su
perfluous person in the ring.

Kilbane has fought himself out of

and for all time the world's cham
pion in the lightweight class,
s-
Won't some one please have the
bcxing clubs on the coast -or Domi
nick Tortorich at New Orleans ar
range for a series of middleweight
bcxing matches to decide the cham
pionship? Not 10 round boats, but
contests of 20 rounds where the men
will have a chance to decide ea
points and get a referee's decision.
It is a Joke the way the title is
being hurdled around at the conven
ience or tne miauieweigni upinuiu.
Ever since the late Stanley Ketchel
held the title there "lias been a dis
pute regarding it. Billy F&pke was
next in line, but the defeat of Papke
by Johnny Thompson in Australia
took it away from Billy and Johnny
became too heavy to even defend it.
With a dozen fighting for the right to
claim the title there was lots of work
ahead, but it finally simmered down
to about four men. Jack Dillon, Jimmy
Clabby, Eddie McGoorty and Frank
Klaus.
Dillon and Klaus met at Indian
apolis May 29, last, and the Hoosier
had the best of it on points, but It
was of only 10 rounds duration and
there is no telling what might happen
in a longer fight. Clabby and Mc
Goorty met at Denver recently and
the newspapers disagreed, some call
ing it a draw -while others gave it
to Clabby. They met again at Butte,
Mont., June 13 and the referee awarded
the decision to Clabby in a 12 round
argument. However, It was not long
enough to reach a decisive verdict,
but from the work of all four men
it seems that Clabby and Dillon have.
Of the quartet Clabby is the cleverest,
but he lacks about eight pounds of
the middleweight limit and that Is
quite a handicap to a man. although
Jimmy has shown wonderful form in
all his recent battles and reminds one
of Kid McCoy very much.
The coast and New Orleans art the
only places; where marathon bouts
are held and the promoters of those
clubs would do the public a big favor
if they would only arrange to stage
a series oi Douts oetween these men
and let fans have a real champion
middleweight.
It is the only fair way. Match up
Dillon and Klaus and McGoorty and
Clabby in bouts of 20 rounds each.
Then let the two winners meet for
the final.
has to confess his dtscouragemeBt
about the situation.
T am disappointed In my position
as champion of the world. he said.
"Attell. when he was champion, had
more fights than he could attend to.
He fought all the time; and here I
can't get fights. Attell fought a
great many draws and even lost some
fights; .but it didn't affect his stand
ins' with the public
becoming tbe nfcsipfrtj I
have Xangit- everyone who-wsaOM a
fight and I nave won every fight ex
cept this Dundee affair, and I have
my own opinion about that draw de
cision. "I can't see why I should be pun
ished by the public because these boys
can't hit me.
"Well, I'm ready to fight as hard as
anybody fought in a ring the first
time I find a boy who ' can do some
thing. It seems a shame I should be
blamed because I box scientifically in
stead of slamming around In the ring
like a roustabout on a wharf.'

Brooklyn Will Not Part With Rucker
Charles E. EMets Says He Will Kot Think of Tradiag Hfe Sotfcpaw
Pitcher Until He Is Ready to Qmt Baseball.
CHICAGO. HI, July 3. When
Charles H. Bbbets la ready to re
tire from baseball and sell his
Brooklyn Superbaa, then he will trade
southpaw Napoleon Rucker. But so
long as he is president and big mogul
of the Dodgers, he will not think of
trading or releasing his brilliant
hurler.
A "startling story from Chicago
Cubs was to the effect that the Chi
cago Cubs were to hand over Roger
Bresnahan to the Superbaa in exchange
for Nap Rucker.
Added paragraphs in the yarn came
forth with the information that Bb
bets wanted to strengthen his catch
ing department and be supplied with a
manager if Dahlen failed r quit
Nix ea Trade Stuff.
Now comes the answer from
Charles H. Ebbets.
"What me trade Rucker for Bres
nahan?" said Ebbets. "No, not yet I
don't know who started the story, but
I saw it when we were in Chicago.
The Cubs or nobody else have a
chance to get Rucker from my club.
I cant see where I would strengthen
the Superbas in getting Bresnahan for
Rucker, and I'm not trying to weaken
the team."
Like Ed Koney in St Louis, Nap
Rucker affords plenty of gossip and
news for the scribes and fans in
Brooklyn during the winter session.
Annually he is traded to one of the
big clubs, usually it is New York, but
every spring he comes along- with the
Superbas and pitches his share of the
victories.
Until this year Rucker always has
had a joke team behind him. and his
percentage of victories never amounted

to much. Now the southpaw Is getting
support with the result that he is
winning his share of the games.
Ebbets has had a tough rime try
ing to gather together a 'winning ag
gregation. For years he has scoured
the minors, from one end to the other,
and has developed some nifty looking
kids. For a year or two they would
be sensations, and then something
would happen.
The worst break was when Ebbets
lost Harry Lumley and Tim Jordan.
About three or four years ago Lumley
was considered the greatest outfielder
in the game and Jordan a marvel of
a first baseman. Brooklyn didn't have
much of a team, and the high mag
nates wanted Lumley and Jordan.
One summer Barney Dreyfuss of
fered Ebbets 325,000 for the pair. The
Giants came back with a bid of $30.
000 cash for the two, but Ebbets
wouldn't sell the pair.
In the midst of all the bidding
Lumley stole second one day, and in
sliding turned his knee. Later on,
Jordan suffered a similar accident and
it was only a short time until Ebbets
lost both men completely. Lumley
never recovered and now is switching
around in the New York State league.
Jordan rested a year and now is
playing in the International league.
Ebbets is happy today. He has a team
that was picked seventh or eighth last
winter, but which now is in third
place.
