MILWAUKEE. WIS- Nov. 9 Who
will be the first lightweight to
meet Freddy Welsh in a clash
for the championship of the world?
The above question has been put by
Earrv Pollolc. manager of Welsh, in
a letter addressed to the sporting edi
tors of the country Mr. Pollok wants
the sporting: authorities to decide which
ill. . t. t.f.a ...
Auwr nj;" ciuiiis Air: uwi cuuticu iv
matches with the champion He offers
to arrange four battle for the title.
after which elsh will announce his
retnement, prowding of course that
he should not be defeated in the mean
time Minaper Pollok wants the men se
lf ted and will then appear be
f re the club making the best bid for
the contest that is. clubs where cham
pionship bouts can be held of at least
20 rounds. The offer is a very fair one
Indeed and if followed out the fans
will hae nothing but praise for the
clever Briton, now champion
Of course there is liable to be a hitch
when it comes to matching up with
Willie Ritchie, for manager Pollpk
stated previously that he would not
permit Welsh to meet Ritchie unless
tne latter gave him the same purse he
was compelled to gie the American
champion when they fought in London
a purse of $2 000 for his end. Since
that time Pollok has modified his of
fer so X am informed and is willing to
ai epi $15 000 for Welsh's end.
Ritchie Should Have FIrt Chance.
' ,c the four men to e named. Willie
Rtnhie should have first chance at the
title as it was from him that Welsh
wou the championship and be should be
shown that much courtes of a return
bout. Th'S all depends, however, on
Ritchie being able to make the weight.
etc It is a well known fact that Ritchie
has repeatedlv refused to make 135 at 3
oclock for Charlie White, who has been
after him. and whom Ritchie signed to
meet befo-e a Milwaukee club in Octo
ber or November Willie will have to
m ike 135 at 3 for Welsh or he will get
no chance at the title and he should
then be advanced to the welterweight
v ision. Ritchie tells me. however, that
he will post a Me forfeit to make 135
at 3 for Welsh in a championship
ir.atih. but not for any other I pre-'
sume if he should meet Welsh and beat
him then he would want to Jump the
weight to suit himself.
Then White or Dundee.
The next in line would be Charlie
"White or Johnny Dundee These two
boys are evenlv matched and really
should fight it out for the honor in a
2u round battle There are four bojs
who should fight it out for third trial
Joe Mandot. Johnny Griffith. Milburn
Sarlor and Joe Welling They are all
of about the same size and weight and
wouJd make a good quartet for an
elimination tournament. Saylor has
reallv earned a right to a chance, ow-
1 tn the iinKntiRfartnnr ending of his
battle with Welsh at Winnipeg, when
it was ciaimea bayior snouia nave oeen

on an alleged font. Ted Lewis, the
I.i slish boy, who has Just eliminated
Jatk Brltton In two matches at Boston.
Is surely entitled to a try at the title,
proi .ding again he can make the
weight. He has failed to make it in a
couj le of Instances of late, but at that
he mav be able to do so If he can.
then he is a dangerous contender. And
r Rirhie Mitchell, the Milwaukee
oungster. continues to travel at the
speed he has shown of late he will be
a. contender in six months time.
Trott Leaves Itlng.
Sammy Trott. the Columbus (Ohio)
lightweight, while never considered a
contender for championship honors, but
a'ttajs a tough proposition to beat for
anv of the lightweights, has decided

NEW YORK.NOV. 9. According to
advices from New Orleans. Jess
Wlllard's opponent in his fight
there next March will be Frank Moran,
Jim Coffeey, or Fred Fulton.
The list Is singularly unimpressive.
Fulton- Is unknown hereabouts, and
may be much better than his record In
dicates, while Moran has as yet done
nothing to astonish the fistic world.
However, it would be the height of
aosuraity to consider Jim Coffey
ahead of Moran for a title contest in
view of the Plttsburgers easy victory
over the Roscommon man a short time
ago.
Of the three named. Moran certainly
has the strongest claim on the cham
pion's attention, if actual accomplish
ments In the ring are to be taken Into
consideration, no matter what you may
think of Frank's ability. But accom
plishments are not always figured when
promoters get their heads together Qn
the basis of accomplishment, Jess Wil
lard had no more right to a fight with
Johnson than several other men In the
ring, but Willard got the match.
If the box-fight boosters were real
sportsmen, and not real business men,
and if past performances entered into
the making of championship matches.
Gunboat Smith would be the logical
contender against Willard, but you will
note that Gunboat's name was not
mentioned in the list of possibilities
sent out from New Orleans. And Gun
boat not only gave Willard a thump
ing, but he also holds a twenty-round
decision over Moran. whose name was
on the list.
This Fred Fallon.
There is a tip out that Fred Fulton
Is to be the man finally selected as
Jess's opponent, although no one has
any definite Information on the subject-
Fulton Is a huge fellow who was
unearthed In Minnesota, and who has
some mythical claim to having knocked
Willard down daring an exhibition bout
when Willard was ont with a circus.
Apparently the Willard syndicate re
gards this claim of a knockdown by an
unknown as a greater stain upon the
Willard escutcheon than the 10-rotmd
decision over Jess held by Gunboat
Smith, or the l!-round victory over the
champ attributed to Tom McMahon
Fulton has been doing most of his
fighting out through the middle west
He beat Arthur Pelkey not Ions ago.
but then everbody beats Pelkey. True.
Willard failed to stop Pelkey In ten
rounds on one occasion, but that fact
adds nothing to Fulton's record. Al
Falser "is credited with knocking Ful
ton kicking in four rounds in May.
1S14. at Hudson, Wis., and Palzer was
on the chutes even then.
So Fulton has done nothing to date
that gives him any particular standing
In the more select fistic circles. His
record is even less Impressive than the
record of Jess Willard before Jess met
Johnson, and that was regarded as
about the last utterance in pugilistic
unlmpresslveness.
Properly press-apented In the mod
ern fashion of constructing champions
by earnest typewriting. Fulton might
be made a more commanding figure
between now and the day of the battle
if he got the match: but at the present
moment he figures only as a set-up for
Jess. On his record, he could not draw
enough outsiders to New Orleans to
see him fight Willard to fill the front
row of boxes.
He Slay Be Great.
We are not saying that Fulton Is a
poor fighter. He may be a marvel
for all we know to the contrary, but
if he would lick a few birds like Moran.
Jack Dillon. Charley Welnert. Gunboat
Smith. Jim Coffey, or even Jim Flynn.
Jim Savage, or .Tom Cowler, we would
be more Impressed with his chances
against Willard.
As we have said before, and said at
some length, we do not regard 'Willard
as invincible. There Is nothing in his
past record to suggest invincibility:
and with another year added to his
life, and a year of comparative lnac-

hardly sufficient to lift him Into the
superman section, hut it was suff cient
to warrant picking out the verv best
fighter in the land as his next oppo
nent, and few followers of the game
will be convinced that Fulton is that
fighter.
In naming Moran. the promoters at
least named a legitimate contender. In
naming Fulton and Coffey, they prob
ably perpetrated a merry Jest. There
are some who are inclined to the be
lief that Jack Dillon can whip Moran.
but it is hard to believe that such a
comparatively little fellow as the In
diana manmauler would have a chonce
against Willard. It would probably be
another case of Ketchel against John
son. Dillon says he is anxious to fight
Moran. Such a match would probably
give a better line on Moran's ability
than the Coffey fight. However, as
long as Moran thinks he Is worth a
J10.00 guarantee. It Is not likely he
will fight Dillon, or anybody else. It
Is a cinch he will not get $10,Oe for
fighting Willard.
Making a Contender.
There is no particular mystery about
the elimination from championship
consideration of Gunboat Smith. He
wouldn't draw at the turnstiles or
at least, he wouldn't draw as well as
some -of the others. He Is the same
age as Willard and Moran. and has
licked 'em both, besides licking men
they couldn't lick, but he Is lacking
in all those little attributes that go to
make up a card In a championship en
counter. And you couldn't ever give 'em to
the Gunner, either You couldn' sur
round him with the romance and glaiaor
that could easily be invested in a
Moran. or a Coffee or even a Fulton.
Under the modern method of construct
ing a championship possibility, the pr
rooters could take a fellow like Ful
ton, and although you don't know for
sure right now whether he Is white or
black, in two months they would hive
you believing that he is a devastating
tcrnado in human form ',
As for Moran. they could make you
forget in three days that series of de
feats by Gunboat Smith. Tony Ross.
Jack Geyer, Jim Savage and Jack John
son, could erase from your memory
that picture you acquired at Madison
Square Garden of a slow, lumbering,
stiff armed fellow, and show you a
typographical photo of a young, lithe,
fast, clever, clean-limbed, clear-eyed
athlete that would have you down hook,
line and sinker on the Pittsburger by
the time he entered the ring with Jess.
Great Is the promoter and greater
Is the promoter's press agent'
We haven't a doubt that they could
even make the faculty of the University
of Pittsburg believe that Frank really
did matriculate, or graduate, or study,
or do something there, no matter how
strongly they are convinced to the con
trary at this time

fairly reliable. Didn't believe that

VTITH Graham on' the mound,
which now seems probable, the
soldiers will give the Professionals a
real ball game at Rio Grande park
Thursday afternoon. Graham and
Wilson appear to be the only .soldier
heavers who really h e class enough
to go against the professional play
ers yet but Ross, Adams and Paris
all show flashes of good form. They
will pass muster when they learn to
keep cool heads in emergencies.
Q0MMERCIAL cars will take up at
at least one mile in the big
motor parade in connection with "El
Paso Automobile Week," if H. M.
Gillespie is a good guesser. 'Gillie"
is looking after the truck depart
ment of the parade and asserts that
his section will be a big surprise to
everybody.
QUESS we're getting to be some
automobile burg with a truck
factory considering the prospects of
locating here and a tire company
promoter on the ground now.
""TUCSON held a successful auto
mobile race over a mighty poor
track on Saturday and now the speed
merchants are tuning up for a big
150-mile race at Phoenix. Pity El
Paso can't have a big race here some
time this winter. Laying out a mile
or a two-mile track somewhere in
the valley near the city should be
a good investment.
JOHN J. M'CLOSKEY is doing some
grand boosting for EI Paso in
California. One San Francisco paper
devoted two columns to "Honest
John" and his arrival there and
quotes him as saying that "the best
sports in the entire world live in El
Paso and it's the finest city of its
size that I have ever been in."
"Mack" didn't get rich ont of base
ball here this year but he is never
troubled with sour grapes.
pRED WINS0R wants to put "Kid"
Arrousey, his featherweight star
who now also claims the lightweight
title in California, against "Kid"
Payo or "Kid" Lammersen at Silver
City and is also trying to get a bout
in New Orleans with "Kid" Herman.
ONE surprising thing about the
tour of the All-Amencan and
All-National baseball teams is that
the winning team hardly ever hts a
margin of more than one run and
they seem to take turns in winning.
DATTLING NELSON will realize
one of these days- that his time
in the ring is over. He took another
walloping Friday night at the hands
of Jack Reagon and Jack isn't rated
as championship timber by any man
ner of means.
Football will be played at Hio
Grande park again next Saturday, when
the heavy team or the Silver City Nor
mal school comes here to play a re
turn game with the high school Tigers.
A rattling good game should be the
result, as the score at Silver City was
only 10 to 7 In favor of the Normal
and the high altitude militated against
the high school boys, who found it
very difficult to cut loose with their
speedy offensive plays on this account.
Coach Evans says that, although the
team is not tn the best of shape, the
fact that the boys will play on their
own grounds and under normal condi
tions should make the contest one of
spectacular excitement and Intense in
terest. tilas Vs. San Jacinto.
A new element will be injected Into
the local football circle by the first
appearance upon the field this year of
the teams from Vilas aad San Jacinto
schools, who will play the preliminary
game beginning at 1:15 oclock. These
teams have been practicing hard and
should show the results of their care
ful coaching.
Vilas is being coached by Lieut. J
J. Ord of the army, and San Jacinto
by coach Williams of the San Jacinto
schools. A large crowd should turn out
to see these games, particularly as
every one Is sure of a comfortable seat
in the spacious stands at Bio Grands
