It was not long ago | that lttle Ad Wolgast, the Milwaukee | boxer, who prides himzelf on belng the | world's champlon lightwelght, stated that he was not going to fight until he had a good long rest. Wolgast may be a good little fighter, according to Freddie Welsh of Pontypridd, Wales, but (here is one bet- ter. Very modestly it is added that the| best lightwelght Is this same Welsh Freddle, in some way or otwer, got wind of the news that Wolgast means (o stay out of the ring for a while, But the Milwaukee man will not be allowed to follow out his plan if Welsh has anything (o say in the matter. The truth of it is that Welsh con- templates canceliing his fight with Packey MeFarland, scheduled to be fought in Lon- | don soon, and Instead will come this suniry in an endeavor to get a match with the lightweight champion. Over in the old world Freddie has some reputation as & mit® { wielder. An odd fact about him is that he is a vegetarian. He claims this helped him | to win the English lightweight champion- | ship, which he now. holds. Now, Welsh is not the only person inte ested in the match. Out on the Pacific coast there Is a man who would like very much to see these two little lightweights placed together in a roped and squared arena. And he is no other than Sid Hester the San Francisco fight promoter. Accord: ing to word recelyved here In local pugilistic circles, Hester is so anxlous te match up the two lightweights that he has offered a purse of $15,000, along with several minor ofters. Welsh Is only too anxlous to come here again to show Amerlcan fight fans that he is something of a fighter and prove that all the “news' his press agent has sent out about his champlonship prowess Is really true Wanied to Meet Nelwon. When the light-haired Dane, Battling Nelson/ known to ring followers as the “former champion,” held the title, Welsh wanted to come to this country to meet Nelson for the World's championshtp. Nel- son, however, never took Welsh serlously and a match was not arranged. Thos who have seen both men in action declare that | Welsh was a capable opponent and that he was no mean fighter. So now Welsh says he will give Wolgast the chance to turn him down. Whether Wolgast will consider the allur- Iug purse Hester is said to have offered Is not known. Wolgast not long ago sald that he wishes to take things easy for awhile, now that he has become the cham- plon. Ad Is spending his time doing vaude- ville stunis out wesi—telling his audiences how he put one over on the Battler. And not slighting the laifer, it might be well to siate that Oscar Matthew Battling Nelson Is spending his time in the same way—only ho tells those assembled “jusi/ how it happened.” Reports from (he west also state that sirce Wolgast has becoms champlon he means to do a little dictating as well as the olhers. Recently he was quoted as ing thal he would rot go into the ring uriess a 320,000 purse was hung up. He Is ®ald to have siated that for this amount he would fight anyone who wishes to sign up with him for a forty-five-reund con- . However, it is thought that Ad will think twice hefore he passes by that offer of Mester's. It these two men could be matched it Is safe to state thet. the battle would draw » big crowd. Hester sald that he would| siage it a week or xo before or after the| big fight at Emeryville. At that time there will be a record breaking crowd te draw from. There will be thousands of | out-of-town persons in San Francisco at| this time who would not miss the oppor- | tunity of witnessing a title lightweight championship bout, and it is thought that the gate receipts would be as large, If not larger, than those which have charaet ized previous fights in the lightweight divi- sion. Many fans declare that the battle would draw even a greater crowd than did the Nelson-Gans battle. ! { SAVE HORSE BREEDING , INDUSTRY FROM RUIN | New Org lzation Formed York for This pose. in New Pur- { NEW YOURK, May 1.—In announcing the formation of the new -organization to be Kknown as the dw Vork Trotting Horse | Breeders' association,” horsemen and prom- inent breeders in charge of the matter call special attention of all citizens of the em- | pire state, members of the New York state &range, and farmers in general to the fact thay under existing conditions something must be done, and done quick, in order to sive the great horse breeding industry from &oink into total ruination.

O'Neii won the American amateur sculling championship at Detrolt last year. Both Scholes and Cosgrave have started out to prepare thomselves for a gruelling vace, In whieh they will compete for the world's premier sculling title. Cosgrave has a new Sims shell, which he wills use at Henley in July t Is made of Spanish cedar, welghs twenty-three and a half pounds and is four and a half Inches deep in the bow.

The only difference between the two Is that bit beamler, due to the difference in weight of the men who will row them. It O'Neil decides to enter the diamond sculls, Canada certainly will be well rep- resented. Before ihe throe leave for Eng- and, local rowing enthusiasts plan to ar- range a maich between them. Whether this plan will go through, however, is a matter still to be,decided. The real cause why tho promoters wish to get the men into action before they go abroad is simply to give rowing followers a chance to figure out the Canadians' chances in capturing the single sculling hono Mallet Headed Putting Barred Authorities of St. Andrews Put a Ban on Queerly Shaped Clubs. YORK, May 14.—In Scotland the been placed on mallet-headed put- v the authorities of St. Andrew's and the move Is likely to make trouble. Many of the best American playgrs have taken up the queerly-shaped clubs for work on the green, Travis among them. If they bow to the St. Andrew's ruling they will ave to charge their style of putting, and It is certain that many of them will balk. Putting is one depaitment of the game, in which the amateur compares favorably with the professional, but there is a di- vergence of opinion whethér the diference In putting is due entirely to the difference in the clubs. Many are inclined to think there is move in the man than there s in the club. Professionals are notoriously carlecs in the matter of putting and have lost hard-fought matches time and again through slipshod work on the green. This matter of barripg implements calls the old trouble In the pole vault. Almost anything qualified as a pole. An English vaulter years ago appeared with a pole shod with a spiked tripod. This he stuck in the ground and climbed hand over hand. His American opponent complained of the practice, but finding nothing in the rules to prevent borrowed a stepladdsr and hopped over the bar at an unheard-of The rulemzkers promptly framed a reasonable restriction and that ended the trouble. ACE FOR COBE CUP TO BE AT INDIANAPOLIS dored Significant. The announcement automobile race will be held at the In- dianapolis speedway on July 4, reflects the growing popularity, of motordromes in this count, There are many motoristy who lament the transition of the middle west's road race Into a track contest, There is a certain glamodr about a big road contest that appeals to the ordinary spectator. However, despite the fact that the Chicago Automobile club has put road speeding in the discard In favor of the track proposition, the middle west will not be without an Imporiant road race this season. Plans are being completed rapldly, for the Chicago Motor club's eontest, which will be held at Eigin. To those in close touch with automoblle affairs the news that the Hoosler speed- way had been chosen for the Cobe cup contest did not " occasion surprise. It was that the ‘Cobe 'cup His boat is | a horse, one must first make up one's mind as to the requirements to be met, for the m@;- of different patterns of cars, like that oPdifferent breeds of horses, is to a certain extent limited, though in both cases a fairly satisfactory compromise ma. be arrived at. By different patterns of cars 1 do not mean different bodies, for on that score a purchaser who has never seen & motor at close quarters can be de- pended on to know betier than any one can tell him what s most suitable for his purpose. With the fmmense varlety to choose from nowadays—limousine, semi- | limousine, landaulet, touring car, runabou ete.~the finer distinctions are mostly a matter of personal taste, and intefchangd- able bodies for summer and winter, or town and country, are always procurable. The chief points then for the purchaser to consider, whatever may be his require- ments, are: Proportion of weight to size, horsepower, method of drive, method of ignition, gearing and certain broad lines of engine construction. Excessive weight is, above all things, to be avoided; tires are by far the largest item of expense in the upkeep of a motor car; and the extfa wear and tear, on them means considerable and superfluous expense, ~There is no reason why any car should weigh nearly 4,000 pounds unless it Is intended to car: freight; the least welght consistent with safety and rigldity is desirable Concerning Horsepower. Horsepower, on the other hand, is quite a different matter, and high rating is al- ways preferable to low, regardless of speed réquirements. One often heas a man sa “I am no speed maniac; my car is chiefiy for town use, o I have no use for exces- sive horsepower.” This is a natural but fatal error, for it is especally for town use that power is wanted. It is well known that the power of explosive engines increases in proportion to the number of revolutions per minute and many cars which will give will not show five at six miles per hou: To explain this more fully, 1500 revolu- tlons per minute may be taken as the fair average speed of a motor engine doing its best, and 3(0 as the lowest speed likely to be used on the high gear; the dimiution of power as the number of revolutiods di- minishes may be judged by the following | tigures taken from the specitications of one of the most popular cars made in America: At 1,500 revolutions per minute, 57.5 horsepower; at 1000 revolutions, 5.2 horsepower; at §00 revolutions, 30.7- horse- power; at 600 revolutions, 23 horsepower, and at 300 revolutions, 115 horsepower. Unfortunately most cars show a much greater diminution of revolutions per min- ute. It 1s, therefore, most important that the purchaser should knoy at what num- ber of revolutions per winute the car is rated. American rating means the power developed at 1,50 revolutions per minute, European at 600. { In hil climbing high power is similarly desirable; a car that will negotiate a long climb, Iike. that of the well known moun- {tain pass named “Jacob's lLadder,” with- out coming down to the low gear will be in a much, better condition when it veaches the top, both intrinsically and as regards overheating, than one that has to struggle up at the expense of an increase of 30 per cent or more in the number of revolutions of the, engine involved in the use of the low aear. Drives and Gears. Of the two methods of drive, the cardan- shaft has increased .in popularity at the expense of the chain-drive, chiefly on ac- count off its nolselessness, and in all but the largest cars, it has justified its position. For heavy cars, however,.the ciain-drive has undeniable advantages; it is stronger, |less lable to damage, and, moreover, is | capable of repair on the road in case of a breakdown, which a khaft-drive practically never is, as fallure generally means strip- ping of the pinion shatt. Another advan- tage of the chain 15 that the power may be Increased—of course, at the sacrifice of speed—by changing the size of the sprocket- wheels, so that on a long tour the ap- proach to a mountainous country may be deprived of its terrors by having a couple lof spare sprocket-wheels of sultabie size {in‘the kit to give the power required. These are changed again upon entering a flat country where speed is of more importance than abnormal power. Gears on all but the smallest of run- abouts are-invariably of the sliding type. Between the “progressive’ in which the gear-lever has: but one movement, directly backward and forward, and the “selective’ in which it runs in two connected slots, and must be s.ipped from one to ‘the other in changing, the cholce is mostly a matter of taste and habit; while the former ap- pears simplér to the novice, the latter is a gencral favorite with experts, and is really the easier to manipulate; but anyone, will [ forty horsepower at forty miles an hour | of the ordinary purchaser which he wil do well to bear in mind.

The following editorial appeared in a St. | Louis paper: “The occasional attendant upon baseball games of the professional kind has little cause to complain that wonderful achieve- ments are not brought to pass at every same. Only ‘the hardencd fan can view, with complacency, the “rapidity and ac- curacy which. mark the work of ail the players. “The casual” witness marvels that so much skill should ever have been developed.

It is not very long ago that a learned man, versed in the laws of psychics, maintained that a ball could not bo thrown by a piicher in a curved line.

Beals t| Wright of Boston, who dazzled the tennis ;| world five vears ago by displaying bril- liafit flashes of court generaiship, has de- clded to return to the game to seek more honors on the grass aud turf courts of the country. The fact that the former natonal singles title holder is to again take up the racquet is not only of especlal Interest to ! [ this country, but to England and Australian followers of the game as well. To state that Wright will probably captaln the team which will meet England in the challenge tles at Wimbledon Is a fact that will create unusual interest throughout the entire ten- ., | nis world. Wright, it will be remembered, was one of the strongest tennis players this coun- try boasted of five years ago, and it is de- clared that he s regaining his old-time form. He recently won the Florida state tournament and his work against tennis | . | stars there bore out the fact that he still possesses championship ability. In every sense of the word is Wright & ) | veteran, and now that he ig to re-enter the field his entry will give confidence to the American team should it be successful in the ties and win the right to challenge the Australians for the cup which Dwight Davis contributed for competition. The Davis cup committee of the National Lawn Tennis assoclation declares that they are , | jubllant now that the tennis ranks are to be strengthened by Wright. Already ar. rangements are being made for the prelim- inary ties and the committee, it is reported, will decide upon Wright as captain and manager of the American team. R Veterans Won’t Leave Country, America has any number of good men from whom to pick an international team, but the older and more experienced men cannot afford to take the time'to play out of this country, which the Davis Cup matches necessitate. In this list are Larned, Closhier, Hackett and Alexander, a team which, tennis experts declare, would prob- ably bring back the famous international trophy were it to play in the Antipodes. As matters now stand, a team must be | chosen from the younger men. While these are star performers they lack the real fine points of the game which are requisite for victory in an international match. The overwhelming defeat the American playery, | Maurice McLaughlin and Melville Long, suffered in Australia proved this fully. With Wright back in the fold America’s | chances to capture the Davis cup are some- what brighter than they were & few months ago, when it was announced that this coun- try would again figure in the famous | tourney. It will be some time before the team is selected, but the committee is al- ready sizing up the material. Another good man who may be gsked to represent the | United States is Raymond P. Little, Little has had ample experience in International contests, having captained the team In 196, With two such men in line things begin to look a little brighter. It is not known whether or not McLaughlin or Long will be invited to play again. However, it is thought that they will get a chance in the ties. Wright, so the sharps say, is regarded as one of the greatest tennis tacticians in a | generation. He is a hard driver and as a court general has few equals. That is, he | with greater convenlence.
