pat ——_.— ' Badoud, French Boxer, Disputes Britton’s Claim to Welter- weight Championship of World. r Tie Tuo New York Lote EA BO! Here's trouble! ed "Kid" Lewis of Engian and late of Australia, who has been cutting a dash in our most exelu- sive welterweight circles, has been popularly proclaimed welterweight champion. We might have called Jack champion of America, which would be modest. But with true Yankee enthusiasm we've all fallen for Jack's claim that he is welter champion of the world. And here they come on Jack's trail. First was my friend Badoud of France. The shock of seeing that Britton bas claimed worldwide su-; premacy has given Badoud enough of a command of English to protest. “No—no!” exclaimed Badoud, shak- | ing his head violently. “He is no— whatyoucall—champion du monde. | No—no! I am champion de France— champion 4'Angleterre — champion | @’Burope. Britton is United States champion. Very well. We fight. We £0 to the decision. ‘Then there is a| champion du monde—of se world. Not before! Me—I will not be over- took!" Here broke in that sterling rough- houser from Brooklyn, Soldier Bart- field. “Bure,” said Bartfleld, grinnin; He's THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY MAY A PAGE TORN FROM THE “Badoud and I train together. good, all right. He's the champion of Europe. I'm the champion of the world myself. I beat Britton, Miko; Gbbons, Kid Lewis and all the rest| of them. I bar nobody. I'll make 1 pounds and fight the midd! weight. Badoud will fight anybody at the welterweight limit. I'll fight ‘em if they are welterweights or not. How's that?” After several weeks of correspondence, which cost him many doflars for tele- grams, Billy Gibson, matchmaker of the Stadium A. C., has been successful in Setting Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul mid- Glewelght, to agree to meet Jeff Smith, the clever Bayonne boxer, in a return battle of ten rounds at his club on the night of May 23. Gibbons accepted Gib- son's terms yesterday, and wired it night that he would arrive in New York about May 8 to finish his training for this contest and also for his battle with Ted “Kid” Lewis in the Garden Mey 18, ADOUD came hore a couple of months ago heralded as the Dest welterweight turned out in Europe since Carpentier grew out of the class.

The Women's Metropolitan Golf Asso- clation began its series of team matches yesterday and eleven of the fourteen matches scheduled were played. Three teams defaulted—Glen Ridge, Westfold and South Shore—and one team, Scars- dale, consisted of only two player Sleepy Hollow, which was Scarsdale’ opponent, had only three, so the diecrep- ancy was not 80 great as it might have been. In most cases the home team won, Baltuarol, which conquered at Platnfleld, and Knollwood, which triumphed ai Fairview, being the exceptions to the rule. There were two tles, Century and Dunwoodie finishing with 6 points each at Dunwoodle, and Piping Rock and Westbrook scoring 2 points each at Piping Rock. The home teams which won and scored one point each by their victories. were Montclair, Hackensack, Cran Fox “Hills, Nassau, sleepy Hollow and Apawamis. The clubs which scored a point apiece by reason of the default of their opponents were Rich- mond County, Englewood and Norwood. The programme for the New Jersey champlonship which 1s to be played at Englewood on June 1,2 and 3 has been sont out by Nathan 8. Schroeder, Secre- tary of the New Jersey State Golf Asso- ciation. There will be three sixteens in addition to the champlonship division, or first sixteen, and once more the commit- tee will attempt to play the firat round in all four divisions in the afternoon of the first day. ‘If the fleld 1s as big as usual the qualifying round in the morn- ing will take so long that only the cham- pionship contenders will have time to play in the afternoon. ‘The invitation tournament of the Arde. ley Club on the last three days of next week, which will be the second tourney of the year in the metropolitan district, in attracting a number of the leading olfers about New York.

The leadership has changed four times !n as many days, and another shell is likely to explode in the first division this afternoon. The whole line of battle shifts. Instead of the Dodgers, the Glants are to be at- tacked by the Braves, Brooklyn by the Phillies and the Yanks are in Boston after the scalp of the Red Sox. As but one game was played in the American League, there was no change in the relative stand- ing of the clubs overnight. By winning, the Yanks could have got in second place, but they failed to budge an inch. The Sen- | ators stood pat, holding on by good margi In fi indica tions are that Washington will retain the leadershi they will feed upon the Athlet for the next few da: The Giants played another one of | those good games if they did lose,” but to McGraw there is in that state- ment a sad lack of nourishment. Vic- | torious chances were plentiful, but, as usual, when Opportunity knocked not a Giant went to the door, But for a bit of unfortunate coaching by Matty at third base the game would have not gone ten innings and the Giants would have won. Even after that they had an excellent chanco, but with Doyle on second, Benny Kauff lined out a clean single, only to see the captain thrown out at the plate. Rpbe Schauer appears to be suf- fering from a ‘mental hazard,” as golfers call it, over making that daily wild pitch in the last inning. He has been reminded of it so often that he believes it. With Brooklyn runners on first and second and two out the Rube came through on schedule with his wild heave allowing both runners to advance. He then pitched three wide balls to the batter and got himself in the hole so that he had to put the nert one over. That is, he intended to get it over, Cut- shaw's bat stopped if.
