MORE OF "NATIVE SOS" STUFF NEW TORK, Oct .-Johnny "KI1" William In at at b.ntmr)-weight cham pion of the worid. Johnnr "Kewpie" Krtla, hla manager and adherent, not withstanding. It wlU be recalled that Williams was dl'TiAhflod In tha fifth round of hla recent bout with Ertla lor landing a doubtful foul blow, Immc diotoly .Ertle and lija cohorts claimed, tha bnrfitn-f lulit championship; and thels )ai-a few an-called experta that bark their contention. Wa berewltn offer a few reasons why Williams was not dlnlodged as bantam champion that evening, first of all, tha game-cocka weighed In at lis pounds ringside, which la not the recognised bantam-weight standard The legitimate decision. As neither could b declared jh !"''" ,l.:foll1"' that neHhr OU,,,. ... " fc .

Hut t mut be a palpabla foul In order that ho be disqualified. Such a foul waa not committed by Williams against Ertla. In th first place. It la still a mooted j qnomlon whether Williams did land an unfair t.lnw. It H.l tn hm fwi I n t n .1 nut M Krtm by his manager that he had been fouled, for "Kewpie' mad no claim tin- til his manager and seconds had mad a concerted cry that h had been fouled after William had landed a seemingly low blow. Ertla, after th cry by hi manager and handlera, sank to tha can vaa and appealed to Referee Barton 'to declare him th winner of a foul. Merely Dlaqaallfled. ' According to this arbiter, Williams, to his mind, had landed a blow to th groin, and ba promptly disqualified h'm. But h a promptly disclaimed making any decision, knowing that ha wa not permitted to do so under th boxing law of Minnesota. According to Manager Harris, who piloted Williams to th championship, Krtle was dropped one In th third round, and threa time in th fourth. Befor dropping to tn canvas, Erile (according to If arris) cried out: '"My manager aays I'm fouled, and I won't fight any mora," Several seconds after th questionable blow was struck, Ert.e condescended to have a doctor examln him, and after a ' superficial glanc th madlco an nounced that Ertl had really been fouled. Later, it wa learned that th doctor waa an Intimate friend of Ertle's manager, a Mr. McNuIty. Another bit of videno that Ertl could not hav been badly fouled. If h were fouled at all, waa prod.icad by )rtl himself a few momenta after th physician announced th foul. Ertl Jumped out of his chair and did a tango around th ring, shouting tn high glee that ha wa th world'a bantamweight chamrton. Purely a fighter and on weighing only 114 pounds could not hav don thle llttl stunt had h been struck any kind of a blow in th groin. Carefully weighing all th evldenc at hand, it Seems that a plot had bean eon eocted to trick William out of hi world's championship. Th concerted cry of, first Ertle's manager, hi sec onds and then himself, almost bears this out. ; Kfcaata right It Oat. Th foregoing Is not offered a an alibi for. Kid Williams, or for hla man ager, Hammy Harris. It Is written with a view of showing that sohemlng and trickery ar still known to fight manag ers, and that th "native son" stuff still Is running strong, and stilt In vogue In some cities. Ther is but on wsy to reach an amicable settlement, of th controversy, and that Is to hav William and Ertl fight It out over th twenty-round trail, with a refrree decision attached, and lot the winner be recognised aa th un disputed bantamweight champion of th world.
