Disabled Soldiers Hold
Boxing Tournament
" One of the queerest boxing tour
neys ever staged was put on at the
London Polytechnic gymnasium re
cently. It was organized by the dis
abled soldiers' society and included
two competitions for heavy and light
weights.
OriKinallv" it was intended only to
demonstrate the utility of artificial
limbs supplied by the society, but the
entrants clamored for serious com
petition and in the end prizes were
put up by the society. '
In the lightweight class, a boxer
with left leg off from the hip de
feated a disabled ' warrior with the
right arnl off below the elbow.
All the 42 boxers taking part in
the competition were minus arms
or legs and generally speaking the
loss of a leg was a greater disability
in boxing than .the absence of an
arm. - '

J. M., Hunter of Milwaukee
Biggest Golfer in America
Who is the biggest golfer in Amer
ica? .The question can be answered
without danger of refutation or fear
of offending any claimants. He is
J. Munre Hunter, new professional
of the Milwaukee Country club.
Hunter is 6 feet 5 1-2 inches tall and
weighs 225 pounds. Big Ted Ray,
the British professional, looks like a
pigmy beside the brawny Hunter,

Anson Great Baseball
Leader and Captain
George Wright, noted veteran
sportsman and famous as a ball play
er in other , years, was grieved to
learn the news of the death of his
old friend, Adrian C. Anson. He and
"Pop" were contemnorarv Dlavers
for four or five seasons, back in base
ball s youthiul days, and, consequent
ly, Wright knew him well. .
Paying tribute to the late Mr. An
son, he said: "Anson was a great
leader of men and the ideal type
of team captain. ' He was a most con
scientious player and was tremen
dously popular with the crowds. He
was the 'Babe' Ruth of his day and
his immense drawing power was due
to his continual aggressiveness
while on the field.
"Off the field he was a gentleman
and an individual of many accom
plishments. Billiards was a favorite
pastime of his when he was on the
road and he was very skillful with
cue."

Three of the above mentioned play
ers Scribner, Kennedy and Stock
ing were in the semi-finals of the
city tournament last year.
Scribner has won the champion
ship several times.
Both Bannister and McCormick
are newcomers, but their past repu
tation indicates they will have some
thing to say about the city recquet
laurels. Bannister won the cham
pionship of West Point four years
ago and McCormick has held the
northwestern and intercollegiate
championships.

Safe or Out
Q. The first tlma that the banter
struck at the ball he was on the right
hand side of the plate. Then he moved
over to the left hand aide and took a
strike. Then he moved back. In the elde In
the field said he could only move once
and was out.
A. There is no rale of that kind. If
the batter wishes, he may change his po
sition in the box as he wishes aa tons; aa
he does not do so when the pitcher is in
position.
Q. Can the third baseman play with
the first baseman'a glove If the third
baseman's Klove Is torn and useless?
A. No. The first base clove la not to
be need at third base. It la too lure
for third base play.
Q. Can the pitcher stand with his
back to the batter and then turn and
suddenly deliver the ball to the plate?
A. Mot under the present roles. That
was permissible some years aarn, but now
the pitcher must face the batter.
Q. A alow-pitched ball hit the batter,
although he did -try to get out of
the way, yet the umpire would not civs
him first.
A. If the batter tried to get out of
the way it would seem as If he should
have been sent to first, bat the decision
I one of personal Judgment on tho part
of the umpire and he probably had some
reason for declining to advance the bat
tec - i. The runner goes from first base to
second. When he reaches second he
thinks the fielder haa made a catch of
a fly-ball and starts back to first. The
umpire says the fly was trapped and the
runner midway between the baaea finally
la induced to turn back to second, but
Is touched out. Hla side InsisU that he
should be allowed to stay at aecond be
cause It was a trapped ball.
A. The runner bad once reached sec
ond and when he left It he did so ai
his own risk. Even if h was mistaken

here July Fourth because of an
operation he underwent a few days
ago for the removal of his tonsils.
Tony Stecher, manager of Joe,
claimed Hanson's forfeit of $500
when notified that the match had
been called off. '
The American Legion had gone to
considerable expense arranging
for it.
Hanson claims that his physician
ordered him to refrain from training
tor at least 10 days and that he
would not be able to get in shape in
so thart a time.

Dundee Seeking
Kilbane's Cold
Storage Crown
Scotch Wop in Letter to New.
York Boxing Commission
Asks for First Crack
at Crown. '
By RAY PEARSON.
We rrrtaitllv must eive Our Scotch
Wop friend, johnny Dundee, credit, .
lor 1101 over iou-
ing any bets.
Johnny it turely
the energetic gent
of the fist-slinging
game. He's made
a gob of kale out
of the ring and it
:o prosperous that
he is the owner
of a string of racs
hortrt. All the
world will tay
that anybody able
ta dabble in race
tugs and get
away wit'-i it tuc
sororr tttjwDEB, cessfu.ly ' it en
dowed w'th as
iteness to a remarkable degree. As ,
the Italian tcvaper teems Uve
accomplished the trick, we reiterate
that Dundee is a hard fellow to beat.
But now we have in mind the lat
est move of Dundee, who has the
honor of being junior lightweight
champion of the world. Johnny
grabbed off the crown when Tex
Rickard put on some matches to der
termine the man worthy of being
called a champion in that new class.
But the joy of being junior light
weight titleholder doesn't teem to
have filled out completely the am
bitions of the Scotch Wop. He
thinks he ought to do something that
few other ring men ever have done
win two titles and hold them both at
the sarpe time.
Wants Kilbane Match. "
In order to become a double cham
pion, Dundee wants to train down to
126 pounds and battle Johnny Kil
bane for the featherweight cham
pionship. Does he think he can beat
Kilbane? Well, we'll say he does,
judging by a letter which he has sent
to us. He informs ut that the letter
is a copy of the one he has sent to
the New York state boxing commis
sion, and in it he airs his views in
the breezy and confident Dundee
style. ( ;
One may wonder if Dundee is able
to box at 126 pounds. We".! say he
can, for the Italian is about the
lightest lightweight we ever had. For
years he has been giving away
chunks of weight when he fought
such fellows as Benny Leonard,
Charley White and others. But such
weight concessions didn't make any
great difference, f r Johnny was able
to hold his own in battle. Seldom
has he notched more than 130
pounds, and now he figures that he
can make 126 and hand a pasting to
Mr. Kilbane.
Kilbane Dodges Meeting. '
Champion Kilbane, h 0 we y e r,
doesn't seem anxious to engage in a
battle with Dundee. At least he is
demanding more money . for the
match than any promoter is willing
to give, and that is one way of pre
venting it. But regardless of KiU
bane's stand, Dundee is making the
most of the situation and hopes td
meet the featherweight titleholder in
the ring some of these days.
We have mentioned the Dundee
letter, which is interesting because
Dundee tells a few things which may
or may not be reasons why Kilbane
is steering clear. Here's what
Johnny, in part, says in his letter to
the commission: y:
"I am sincere in challenging
Johnny Kilbane for a bout for the
title at the recognized weight 126
pounds at 2 o'clock day of contest.
You have taken this matter up
several times in your meetings and,
if reports are correct, your ruling
is that unless Kilbane recognizes
my challenge you intend to have
him forfeit his title, leaving it open
to be fought out amongst the con
tenders, and the true champion
found this way. x
Claims He Won.
"If you will allow me, I wish to
take exception to this. I fought
Kilbane eight years ago, when Kil
bane was fighting oftener and
after he had won the title. The
referee called it a draw after I had
licked him, and the newspapers bear ,
out my claim. So I think I am en
titled to the title if he steps out or is
forced out, as no one has ever done
the same since in a decision bout.
I showed that I was on the level
with my challenge, which no other
challenger did, so why should they
benefit by what I have done , ;,-
"I have flevcr picked my oppo
nents or looked for soft ones, and in
nearly every instance have given
away S to IS pounds, when I am a
legitimate featherweight.
"At this time Kilbane may get
desperate and select any other op
ponent to Suit his taste, sidetracking
me and leaving me out in the cold.
About a year ago I offered him a
guarantee of $40,000, but Kilbane has
steadily refused, stating it was too
little- I am not looking for publicity
in this matter or trying to grab a
forfeited title, as I want to win ft
on the level.
"I have been criticized in certainr
quarters for not defending my own
title, but I have never been called
on to defend it."
