Johnny Toulon la coming back. The IIMIe gentleman of the ring has been retired since Kid Williams knocked, him out of th ban tamweight rhsmrTonshlp lest year, and It la In the hop of regaining nil loat laurel" that the Chicago- ex-champion la coming back to the rrene of hla former triumph. And It quite prooable that Coulon will get back hla title without having to go through the formality of detesting the preeent champion. Williams ia tak Ing weight on bo rapidly that It la only a queetlon of a few mora month before he will be a full-grown featherweight. With William out of the bantamweight ranka the title, according to rln tradi tion, will revert ha- to th former holder should th aald eratwhll cham pion car to defend It against all ormers, Coulon. still retaining the keen percep tion that enabled him to fight hla way to th top, ha It all figured out that If Williams abwonds from tha lantam weight dlvlalon ha (Coulon) will have no difficulty In vanquishing the other claimant of the bauble. Thu ho would entrench hlmelf In the popular poaltlon he ha alway occupied in the heart of the fane. Rack Haa III Memeal. W are told that Oaeeur had hi Brutu.

Tho m pact lltUe Dane haa been a nemeala to Coulon from the very first time he at eyo upon the Baltimore fighting rat china. The case of Johnny Coulon la. Indeed, an lntereatlng one. H haa luat passed hla twenty-fifth milestone In life; yet he la looked upon aa a veteran of the ring. Coulon. aa a matter of fact, la n pr- ! maturely old man, year of conscientious hi to hit. Hla fielding and throwing tranln; fcni conscientious fighting having made their Inroad Into the frame and contour f the diminutive Chtcagoan. H waa on of th few ever popular champion, and If ha can be reetored to hla former rank In th pug111tlo realm w can think of no one person who would berrrudg him the laurel o de servedly won. Kid William' anticipated plunge Into th featherweight division will command the attention of Johnny Kllban. who vW contemplating residing In the light weight alley hereafter. Kllban realise that ha waa not such a howling aucoesa aa a lightweight when h engaged Jo Mandot in combat several week ago. Indeed Johnny waa lucky to get a draw. Kllbana ha declared hla Intention of fighting Kid William If he become too persistent Johnny till believe that M can mak th featherweight limit with out resorting to artificial mean of re ducing.

Th old -tlmo durable Dana mad a pttlabl attempt the other day to beat an inexperienced fighter, and hi action war o ludicrous that th apeotator laughed continually during th four round. It la welt nigh time for th former lightweight cham pion to quit th ring gam for all time. HI last display of hla former daah and vim was tn hla fight with Leach Croa In thl city on Thanksgiving afternoon two year ago. Adieu, Battling Nelson. You were a marvelous champion In your time and Id your part well. While oa th subject of former ligt.t- weight champion we must not overlook on Willi Ritchie, who I hankering for action. Ritchie ha a snug sum of money cached, but despite thl tact there I on thinking rankling In hts mind he want to beet Freddie Walsh. It la not ao much the lightweight title that Ritchie want; he aaya he la willing to fight Walsh even after th Briton lose th crewn. Ritchie I firm In hi con viction that he 1 Welsh's master, and la willing to prove it without receiving one cent tor hi services. out of the ordinary, although. In the minors, he ranked aa one of th very heat outfielder that ever held down a gardening Job. Jo Tinker aeemed to be In tho prime of hla career aa a. ball player at th end of the 1911 aeaaon. Garry Herrmann sold him to Charley Ebbeta for S2S.O0O. Then Tinker Jumped to the Fed. Tinker played a trifle more than half of the a a.m during the 19U aeaaon, and hla playing seemed to lack the fire and dash of 1P13. . , Cy Peymcurjand Fpike Shannon coat the Olanu $10,000 apiece, but shortly after they were aold they began slipping, al though, at the time th sal was made, both looked good for many mora year In major league company., Th Mm thing Is true coneernlnf soma of th famous playara who haa figured In trades. Mcran and McQuillan ware great pitcher while with th Phillies. They were traded to th Red a Moran never pitched a full gam for hi new flub. HI arm went wrong and h quit McQulllen, too, aeemed to be Jlnxed. II had. been a star with tho Phillies. With th Red h waa a "shine." Th Red let him go. McQultlen went to th minor, discovered the fountain of youth and is-a ."com back" but not with th Red. . Kara Great Sfcortstos. Pick Kgan ranked a a great ahortstop while with the Red In 181X H waa aold to th Dodger and he hasn't been worth hi keep since. Arthur Fromm ranked one ef the beat pltchera th Red aver had. It waa figured that If h ever got with a real ball team h would a a wonder. He waa sold ta th Giants and he was fllvvered tn an awful way. Blil Sweeney, whll wlUi th Bravas wa regarded aa among the very beat euond baseman In the gam. He oould hit. field, throw and run. lie waa traded to the Cub In 1914 and now th Cuba wants. to get rid of him. Sweeney sud Benly and seemingly without causa, haa gone back. "Big' Ed" Koneachy ranked a on of th greatest first baseman la tile game while a was with th Cardinal. H wa a brilliant fielder, a fine thrower. and, abov all else, a real slugger. Few men in base ball ootid drtv ball with such terrific power aa Konatchy. Th big Pol wa wanted by McQraw. Th Giant manager waa .willing to Tay a fancy 'price for him, but th Cardinal turned down MoUraw and traded Konstchy to the Pirates.

For the next two tnflntha Jack Curiey aV Co. will be kept busy denying the stories of fake that will be current before and after the match Is decided, no matter what the outcome. !

Championshl aad record breaking competitions In all branches of sport will be witnessed In the near future by thousands of persons wha have never had the opportunity to see the stara of th athletic world In autiin. Runner, jumper, boxer, bll Hard players, wrestlers, and in fact every kind of athlete, will show thai skill to unheard of crowds through the medium of the film. This Is th plan of Jack .Herman, a promoter of athletic eventa. . In the paat some ef th big event In the sporting world have been brought before the maasea by way of th mot ion picture, but with th exception of a few boxing matohes none of the contests has been shown In full, so little Idea waa had of how the topnotch athlete looked In action. It 1 Herman' plan to have all of the big event taken In full, so that the sport loving publlo not fortunate enough to have a seat at th scene of action may see all the details as well aa If they had a ringside chair. For lV profeseionala Herman says he will offer bigger purses thst It would be possible to collect In any coliseum and for th amateur it ta planned to hold contests with the permission of th amateur governing body for which autt abio prixea will -be donated. All eonteats will be In the way of elimination and the winners only will tie matched In sub- quant eventa This- Is bound to bring out th highest talent and there can never he a que.Uou of decisions With the camera on th Job.

That is an argument for which make no at not directly. But whenever It la suggested that Willard should do a little fighting In order to prove hi metal Curiey and Jones are right there with the team work. Jones, as Wlllard's manager, idefles tlie world ef white hopes to combat, but Curiey as promoter promptly declines to give his consent Thus th onus ta lifted o some extent. Another curious angle Is that there Is ao attempt to take advantage of the Idea that Johnson is all in physically In order to bolster up confidence In Wlllard's chances. On the contrary, curiey asserts that. h big black Is almost as good aa ever and wiir be In fine shape, Th)s Is a different tack to the on taken when Curiey was booming Fireman Flynn aa the coming champion. At that time Cur- Icy cited Johnson's loss of form as his reason for asserting that little Flynn would wear him down. This time Curiey seeks to combat the theory that Johnson has lost all traces of tha form he displayed at Reno. Curiey asserts that Johnson's condition will ba an open book to tha publlo, aa Johnson la bound by the articles of agreement to submit to a physician's examination one a week (or the four weeks preceding the contest. And Curiey deolares that any newspaper man on the ground will be welcome to bring hi own physician to do the examining. Bill Donovan Sixth Member of Han long Team to Beoome Big League Bon.

Therefore, Rich ard has been practicing every, day In. an entirely different branch of sport, shot putting. , Indications now are that by next spring Rlchaids will be one of the -most promi nent shot putters In the intercollegiate world. In tho board track meets, so far he haa "liever tailed to put the shot forty five feet. In feet.
