Cyclone, bo it known to all and sundry, claims sole right to the world’s middleweight champion- ebip that one William Papke pecently appropriated by force of argu: ment. A few days ago we listened to a fine line of talk delivered by the forceful William, just returned from England and Australia. Now comes Cyclone with an argument no less convincing. Tho middleweight title fe in for a rough mauling and hauling about before it finds its rightful owner. Judging from the appearance of these two warriors their final debate will be exceedingly interesting if it ever comes off. Cyclone Johnny looks the part. He comes from Sycamore, Illinois, : on the edge of the cyclone belt, and! his picturesque s a fighting earned him the title “Cyclone” long years ago when he was just beginning the list of 209 fights that now stand to hia credit in the record books.

He saye he didn't lose the title to me im Aus- tralia because I weighed 161 pounds. I don't know how he gained that remark- able information about my weight, for, to tell the truth, I don't know myself exactly what I did weigh before the fight began. I know Billy weighed at Jeaat 170 pounds, and was in good shape. It, but the down.

The New York boys made a step upward in the pennant ladder by giving the Reds a real trouncing, while the Phillies were gett jag polished to the Queen's taste by the Wreckers, led by Roger Bresnahan. As the Gothamites gof“by the’only twirler on the Cincinnati staff who has been a stumbiing block to them in previous combats they shouldn't have much trouble making a clean sweep of the series. The Cubs are likely to play the Boston Nationals twice to-day, ‘because yesterday they weren't able to play because of rain. Their inactivity was costly, for they gave the Giants a chance to creep a little nearer to them. It is much easier to win two games in two succes- sive days than win a double-header, and if the Rustlors should be 80 obliging as to cop one of the battles in the Windy City the New Yorks will be three points from the top of the list, where all Manhatian | Dennis, and : Chief Office ne of th | played a series that practically decided i ie had ihe yellow Jaundice before ove |} believes they belong.
