KEWPIE ERTLE MAKING HIT
Et Panl Bantamweight is Beating
Kid William' Time Among the
Effete Easterners.
TOLARD IS COPPING THE COIN
r nioiorc.
HEW TORK. Nov. n. Johnny "Ket
fie" Ertle, J14 unds of flchtlng en
ergy, la not universally recognised Ma the
bantamweight champion; but he mnn
may be. He I not waging a verbal battle
to establish his right to the title, either.
He Is making a, two-flat fight for It.
. A month ngo Lrtl-j meandered Into
town, unheralded, unknown. Today he Is
the moat nought after boxer In the past.
Ha haa engaged In two fights here, and
with each bout Ma popularity Increased.
Already he haa lieen proclaimed a minia
ture Jack Dillon which Is saying a good
deal. "St. Taul Catamount" la another
tiame applied to Mm. And he deserves the
many good things that have been said of
Mm.
Ertle la a compactly-built bit of fight
ing machliory. Constructed close to the
ground, he braoea himself by straddling
Ma feet, and keeps boring, boring In ail
the time. There la no Jet up In h'a fight
ing plan. Despite Ma light poundage he
has been able to secure matchra with lads
of Ma proportions. And he haa proved his
'worth.
We have been prone to acknowledge
fl.rtlt as the bantam champion aa the re
sult of Ma victory over Kid Williams, the
title holder, by virtue 'of a foul. We still
ontend that the match waa not a cham
pionship affair Inasmuch aa Williams
waa two pounds over the recognlred
bantamweight standard. But after watch
ing Ertle in action we are willing to
admit Kid Williams la not the best
bantamweight In the world, even though
be holds the championship.
The aame holda true In the lightweight
division. Freddie Welsh assuredly Is not
the, beat lightweight extant, although lie
Is the undisputed champion.
But getting back to Ertle and Wllllnma.
Itcre la a match that would draw a good
lied house; and the outcome would
Settle the controversy raging In the
bantamweight domain. But It would have
to be a twenty-round affair; with a
referee' decision attached. Only then
would the dispute be satisfactorily set
tled. Kid Dm Lot of Talkta.'
Ertle and his manager have been per
latent In their clalma to the bantam
crown, and "Kewple" haa set about the
best way to prova that he Is the right
ful owner of the bauble. Wllllame, mean
while la doing a little fighting and a heap
of talking-. He geta deeper In the mire
each tlmea h flshta. Blnce the Ertle In
cident Williams showed leas In each suc
ceeding battle. And there are many win
believe he has seen hla best daya In the
ring.' Williams haa Just passed hla twenty-second
birthday. A "has been" at
twenty-two! It la hard to realise such a
circumstance.
Should Ertle become the undisputed
champion he would be a ring rarity In
that he la several notches under the
poundage for hla division. "Kewple la
harJ aa brasa tacks at 114 pounds. Wll- .
llama finds It difficult to acala 118 pounds.
At that Krtle la willing to concede sev
eral pounds In order to entice him Into
match over the twenty-round trail. .
Wlllard Makes C ola.

Tht U evidenced by the financial report
of Jesa Wlllard'a engagement with the

advice regarding boxing. It la for the

to be passed allowing referees to give de

thing that keeps the aport from being

aa you prevent decisions you will keep
the so-called reform element silent.
; "When boxing la conducted without de

CUT OUT EXHIBITION GAMES

HUSTON TALKS OF YANKEES
NEW TORK, Noy. !7. In the private
counsels of the hlir leairue hsne hnti mnv.

question of abandoning all exhibition

jsaid Captain Huston, "whether the teams

discuss the advisability of the change
until I have become more experienced. I
dot.'t mini tilling you. though, that nil
of the owners are discussing the mntter
seriously and something may come of It."
In the days when these ante-season
gamen were unknown and the opening
was the big thing of the year the fans
j got to see the players for the first time
;snd there was a lot of hurrah about It.
Nowadays the ftns have sen the players
so frequently In exhibition games that
there is no novelty In an opening. The
change certainly would not be frowned
on by the public.

"We have made our plans to go south
March 1." aald Captain Huston, "and at
