In the Fitszimmons case the New ork 1oxing comm on decided that forty is the age limit for fistic knights #@nd, under that ruling, Johnson ha fbun three years to go. In the mean- ‘time, of course, much may happen, and then, much may not. Of course, f Johnson may relinquish his crown to lanother African, but this is a case where any change is for the best. The pugilistic world is suffering from too much Johnson. If the Smoke refiains the champion- | ship five days longer he will have equalled the best modern age record for heavyweight title-holders. Bob Titzsimmons .was five days past his thirty-seventh birthday when*® Jim Jeffries took the pugilistic honors away from him. No other heavy- weight champion of the Queensbury | era has come anywhere mear the re- cord of Johnson and Fitz. Jeffries was thirty-five when he was defeated by Johnson, and had retired some years before. Corbett lost the big title when he was thirty, and Sulli- van was nearing his thirty-fourth birthday when Corbett gave him his quietus in New Orleahs, Among the older school of Ameri- can champions, Paddy Ryan was de- feated at the age of twenty-nine, and Tom Allen at thirty-six. Joe Gooss was forty-one when he lost to Paddy Ryan in the memorable 87 round bat- tle in West Viriginia. At that time, however, Goss was only a claimant of the American title, and had never been generally recognized as cham- pion. Among the old-timers of the British ring the champion of forty was not so rare as now, although even then few men were at their best at John- son’s present age. Altogether and large it seems that Jack must soon take the count from Father Time. Colored champions, as a rule, ha; not lasted very long. Joe Walcott was an exception, for the Barbadoes Demon was past thirty-four when he lost the welterweight title, and This passing as a ring star was more due to the accidental shooting of a hole , through one of his hands than to the ravages of time. George Dixon lost the title of featherweight champion at thirty, and Joe Gans was thirty-three { When Battling Nelson took his meas- | | ure. Peter Jackson was all in at thirty-two. Tom Molineaux, the fa- mous American negro fighter of a cen- | ago, was an early victim of dis- sipation. Such gconsiderations give us hope. | At the same time, there is the mel- ancholy fact that Sam Langford is stlll on the sunny: side of thirty. e 32 CANDIDATES RETAT) Seventeen ot Thht Number at Har- vard Are Battery Men.” | Cambridg Mass., Maréh: 31.—- !

KETCHEL IMPROVING Wil Box o Norih Adams _if e Shows Well Against Nelson. Eddie Ketchel of Grand Rapids continues to improve for his bout with Frankie Nelson of New Jersey in this, city on April 6. Ketchel put in s long workout yesterday at Skritulsky® ! hall while a large audience sat aro" and admired. Jack Kerin, a ocal | boxer, put on the mitts for two vunds | and considering that he wag DOt In | training he put up a creditab® Show- ing. Ketchel was light op him and did not tear loose at any #me during their brief battle. Ketchel is the loca] fvorite for his fifteen-round - go with Nelson, al- | thougin the New Jemey boy is picked | to win by some on account of ‘his | past record, whicn credits him with a i draw bout against Jack DBritton. At any rate the two should put up a ! classy article of le boxe. ! John Sullivan, matchmaker for | North Adams’ best boxing club, was | in town yesterday and told Jack James, Ketchel's manager, that he would put Ketchel up against “young’ Dyson of Providence at North Adams if the Grand Rapids lightweight earned a drvaw with Nel- son. Sullivan is keptical about Ketchel's chances against the Jersey ; boy, although he hopes to be pleas- antly surprised as he believes Ketchel would be a good drawing card in North Adar Sullivan has been re- sponsible for some of the best bouts staged in North Adams. “Dick” Ryan’s Forfeit Up. Camp, manager of “Dick” Ryan of Hartford, who is to meet “Joe” Ryan of this city at Fay's show, called at the Herald yesterday afternoon and deposited his forfeit for the appearance of his man with the sporting editor. Camp says that the local Ryan will have to hit up a high speed to whip 'his man on April 6 and he is confldent that the Hart- ford Ryan will win the popular de- cision, “Tommy’ McGlynn of Chicago, a 122 pound bexer, was a caller at the Herald yesterday. McGlynn and his manager, John Burke, are touring the i east looking for engagements. The boxer appeared at an Kast Hartford | smoker against “Dick” Ryan Monday I‘ | | M. night and believes he had the edge on Manager Camp’s protege. When told this Camp smiled and said Ryan won easily. MecGlynn has met some of the fastest youngsters in the south and middle west. Camp claims that the reason “Joe” Ryan had such as easy time with “Young” Romane at the last boxing show under Fay's auspices was be- cause 'he wore light gloves = while Romane was equipped with heavy maulers, Judging by Ryan’s work he would have whipped Romane had his knuckles been covered with featar er pillows.

TODAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS. 1890—Jack Read, Australian light- weight boxer, born in Hobart, Tas- mania. Read, who fought a number of battles in America last year, started his career as a boxer in his native land, and fought several years an amateur before he en- tered the professional ranks. In 1907 he won the bantamweight championship of Tasmania, and after- ward the featherweight honors of that island. In 1908 he went to Australia, and annexed the Australian amateur featherweight championship. He started his professional career in 1910, -He was defeated by ILa Brese in 20 rounds at Sydney, but a little later beat that boxer in Hobart, Tasmania. He defeated Grover Hayes the American battler, at Sydney 1912, and won and lost bouts with Paul Til, the ¥Frenchman. . Read came to Amer- ica in 1913, but his showing was not very impressive, and in his first bout he was knocked out by Sam Robideau. 1903—7Young Corbett knocked out Terry McGovern in ilth round at San Francisco. 1878—Jack Johnson, negro heavy- weight boxer, horn at Galveston, Tex. than 25,000 popul#tion.

An hour before the first pair of glove artists stepped into the ring the clubhouse was packed and only a favored few secured ad- mission after that time. It was a near-riot, and the reserves were called out to disperse the disappointed fans. About 5,000 persons saw thirty rounds of good boxing, and fully that number | was turned away. The featherweight champion took! the measure of Eddie Wallace of ! Brooklyn in the most approved fashion after ten rounds of clever milling, and Dundee repeated his performance of a few weeks ago by giving Frankie Callahan a good lacing after a con- test that aroused the liveliest enthu- siasm among the spectators.
