- BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK CHAPTER IN THE LIFE OF A NEW GOLF BALL _ | —_ The Leading Colleges of Country Should Follow the Example of the U. S. Golf Association and Hold Some of the Big Games to Raise Funds for the Red Cross. Coreiant. 1217. by The Prove Pubitahing Co, New York Evening World.) HE United States Golf Associa- tion hopes to raise $50,000 for the American Red Cross at pa- triotic tournaments to be held in dif- ferent parts of the country on July 4. If golf can do this, what would be the result of holding one of the big) football games for the same patriotic purpose? Imagine having the Yale- Harvard, the Yale-Princeton and the Harvard-Princeton football games go usual, with the proceeds to be turned over to the Red Cross, That would buy a few ambulances, And how about adding some of the big games played at colleges a little way back from the AUlantic? Yea bo! This would be better than can celling all collegiate contests for the | year, UNBOAT SMITH and Jim Flynn are to fight in Brooklyn to-mor- | row night. The Gunner ts said to have lost a good part of his old punch | ~which Is lucky for Flynn. In fact, it furnishes the only possible excuse | for the match. When they met be- fore Gunboat gave Flynn a terrible | venting, knocking him down several thnes and finally putting over a slam that looked ay if it might make it ecenmary for Manager Curley to buy # few yards of crap A return inatch between Smith and Flynn at that time would have | hrought out a protest from every fight | jan who saw the first bout, But these things are forgotten In course of time. And anyway, there's the ques- tion of the Gunner's punch. HE worst of poor taste has been shown in the selection of Billy Roche to referee the bout be- tween Leonard and Welsh next Mon- day night, | Billy Gibson ts fully justified doing what he declares he will do— calling the match off—if Roche ts 1 upon him as referee, It's true that Roche ts the regular referee at the Manhattan, having acted as referee in the preliminaries before the Weish-Kilbane fight, al- though he didn't referee the iain event. It's also true that Roche is as capable a referee as there is in the city. No fault can be found with him he score of ability, But he is y known as “Wel privat On many ove ns when elsh fought outside of New York Noche has been taken along to referee for him, and has been forced upon the loon! promoters, ‘Thin hax occastoned rnuch I feeling and many protests in Canada and in different parts of this! ountry, It is rally pved that | Noche is taken along to “protect” Welsh. Freddy's manager admits as juch, but offers the explanation that when fighting in strange towns, where he doesn't know the local officials, he fears having some trick slipped over on Welsh, which might. technically cost him his title. He feels entitled to protection against this, There 4s, of course, no such possi-| Mility in New York, as Bill Brown or Kid MoPartland or any one of half a dozen other local officials could. be depended upon to uct with perfect! fairness to both parties. The Leonard forces fear that Roche, being accustomed to act as Freddy's protector, might be tnelined to favor Freddy too much—to let him clinct. and hold in defiance of the rules (his great habit of Inte) and to count very slowly or forget to count if Freddy went down as a result of a fairly delivered blow, All of this, of course, may be ex- tremely improbable, Roche Is one of the coolest referees in the ring, and he wouldn't be at all Ukely to make any mistak But as long as the doubt exists, and the general public feels that Roche might be inclined to protect Freddy Welsh if he was in danger of losing his title, It would he only fair to the public as well as Loonard to select some one else. Unfortunately the Governor has not appointed a New York City mem ber of the Boxing Commission ainc Wenck was thrown out, and so the matter may not be settled, as tt should be, by the Commissioners, LLY JOU, who refered the Kil bane-Welsh bout successfully, would naturally be just as ob- Horseme pointment, refereed bouts in th: Gibson's club—f be expected to fa aciously or unconsclously, All that the boxing fans of New York want is an even break and no favors for either man, tH should ask no more. for hie bout with Moran, ing for Morris begins at about 240 pounds, ughter up for 1 jectionable to the Welsh alde in a bout with Benny Leonard, and tt would | not be fair to Welsh to ask his ap-| THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 23 n Get More Money | In Selling Races To-Day — Because ot New Rule $805 Surplus Bid for Beckna Monday Is Split Up in Five Events at Jamaica.
