Opinion Divided | on Bout New York Invader Brings| Reputation, but Odds) Were Also on Josephs ' | BY SEABURN BROW = ———\UESTIONS which have wrought) heated arnku. ments in all by. ways where the pagilistic side of | Northwestern life | is discussed, ever since Rarney| Adair of New York and Travie} Davis of Everett} were matched to jar each other around in the main event of this week's Arena show, will doubtless be settled to the satisfaction of one or | the other faction this evening. / Some are of the opinion that any boy who has kayoed Sailor Freed | man, has boxed such boys as Benny Leonard and Lew Tendier, and has never been knocked silly—all of} which is included in Mr. Adair's sec: | tion of the record book—is too good for any home-grown mitten wielder. Quite a few of those who lamped | the fall of Jack Josephs at the hands of this Davis person, 4 short time} ago at the Arena, have no doubt but | that he is equal to any welter Leo} P, Flynn can find in his York | stabte \ It's a moot question, at that | Adair has the goods. ‘That's ‘that. | Travie Davis is a welterweight |~—— capable of giving any 145-pounder | running loose a stiff argument, | from the champion down.

Billings can show more ringcraft in two rounds than McCasslin can un cork in a year of fighting, but the Bremerton husky & mean/ broadside in either wing. It sure looks like McCasslin is in| for a tough evening, unless he bap-; pens to land one of his bone-crush- ing swings on the Wisconsin man's jaw.

Some fans believe that Dougias was punished too severely. John Heydier, president of the National league, said he had been asked by several persons if the punishment could not have been made lighter, He replied that the attitude of the league officials was that Douglas was unfor. tunate, but that no mercy could be | ; considered if the game is to be kept clean. When more than 100,000 fans will sign a petition to permit the Black Sox to return to baseball, it is not _Ba rney Adair reasons to say and!
