SMOKE OXMOOR A MNELP, PERAIANT e CIGLE l Capyrights 1917 KID WILLIAMS 1§ | ROCHED T0 SLEEP Joe Lynch Turns Trick on Former Bantam Champion Philadelphia, Jan. 30. Joe Lynch of New York knocked out Kid Williams, | former bantamweight champion, the fourth of what w have been a six round bout here last night. Williams was the aggressor in the first and second rounds, but his blows seemed to be ineffective. At the beginning of the third round Lynch landed a hard right to the jaw, which sent the former cham- pion to the mat for the count of Although the former champion game to the last, this blow had a telling effect on Williams. The New Yorker kept heavy work in the fourth round, landing rights and lefts almost at will. He finally hammered Williams to the ropes, where the former champion staggered and slipped to the floor. At this point his seconds threw a towel into the ring and the referee stopped the bout. The knockout was the first suf- fered by Williams in his ring ca- reer of eight years. Without taking any of the credit from Lynch it was | apparent that Williams no longer a first class boxer. His resolve stay in the bantam class despite a natural tendency to take on weight sapped him of great decal of strength and he could not take punches which in his prime he shook off without even batting an ey Williams claimed the bantam- weight title in 1913, and despite the counter claim of Johnny Coulon, soon proved his right to the cham- pionship. He proved a worthy suc- cessor of George Dixon, Jimmy Barry and Terry McGovern until in 1915, he lost on a foul to Johnny Ertle. Some of the critics at that time de- clared that Ertle was entitled to recognition as the champion on the score of the foul, but this view wa not upheld by the majority of perts. it was in | round to up his a January 9, 1917, that Williams lost the title to Pete Her- man at New Orleans. They went twenty rounds to a decision and Her man got the ward. Williams pro- | tested the decision, but since then Herman shown himself a first class boxe while Williams has gone down the ladder fast. Williams is a native of Denmark. He was born in Copenhagen in De- cember, 1893, and his real name is Johnny Gutenko. on has GOLF COURSE, AT CAMPS, Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 30. —General Horn of the Seventh Di- | vision is having a golf course made on the infantry side.

Would Add Snap to Game. Unquestionably baseball had many pitchers’ battles and low s games in the past decade. The bs ball fan wants action, and action really is the keynote of baseball. If a rule can bo formed that will inject more action into baseball without in- | terfering with the other fundamental points of the game it would be well to give it worthy consideration. The privilege of the batsman to steal first base would, without ques- tion, give baseball more snap. Can any one imagine a more exciting spe tacle than Cobb facing a pitcher a pinch while fans eagerly watched and wa see whether Ty would try to hit the hall! or to steal first base? i The plan also would automatically increase batting, and to give the man a greater chance against modern specialized pitcher be the greatest need of baseball. 1f the pitcher had to guard against the batsman stealing first base, he would pitch with less confidence, and more hits would result. More on the base would, of cou more runs. The adoption of this plan also would place a greater premium on ‘throwing catchers, and would tend to speed up baseball in all departments. BEach player would have to be con- stantly on his toes and a dull thinker would soon pass out.
