WANTS TO FIGHT BEITTON
Remy Dorr Becomes Fight Manager
; By RINGSIDE. '
New York, July 22. Chicago ii
well supplied in'the matter of light
weight championship possibilities. In
fact, the Windy City has more than
its quota of representative 133-pound-er
who hae a chance of wrestling
the world' title from Freddy .Welsh.
To enumerate, they are Charley White,
Ever Hammer and Joe Welling. What
other city in these amalgamated states
has three such formidable light
weights? Not even New York can
boast of such a likely looking trio.
: Strange to relate, the least press
agented of this array has the best
chance of becoming the next light
weight champion. Joe Welling, who
came here unheralded, in fact, he
came in surreptitiously, has all the
requisites of a title holder; even more
so than Charley White, who is con.
sidered among the three best light
weights in the world. ,;
The luster of Charley White's pug'
ilistk star is rapidly dimming. Though
still in the front trenches, White is
nerceotiblv slioDinK back. He has
had no less than three chances at
Welsh's crown, and he has not even
floored the Pontypridd dancing mas
ter. Even the Hammer did hetter
than White. Hammer, a virtual no
rice, gave Welsh a severe .thumping
for ten rounds. -
Welling has never fought Welsh,
but the Chicagoan is still hopeful of
a meeting with the champion. And he
promises to do better than White and
Hammer have done and that means
a knockout of Welsh if Welling ever
o-era him tntn thir nnff. 4 "
Two-Handed Fighter.
There can be little doubt but that
Welling would make an ideal cham
pion. He is of the fighting sort,
which is more than can be aaid of
Welsh." Welling stands 5 feet 8
inches and can easily make the light
weight limit. 4 He has the largest
reach of any light weight in captivity.
He is a two-handed fighter, and is
even more clever than Ted-Kid
Lewis, hi stable mate. And Lewis
is one of the fastest men that ever
graced the ring. "' '
It did not taV Welling long to es
tablish himself here as a lightweight
of caliber. It required just three
bouts under the management of Jones
Joy Johnston, the demon promoter
and manager, for Welling to ahow hi
mettle. Welling has fought in this vi
cinity before, but it was not until the
last few months that he forged into
the first row of lightweight .con
tenders. - ' .
Welling's first fight under Johnson's
careful handling was -" against Phil
Bloom at Syracuse, The Chicagoan
made a ahow of hia rival. Several
weeks later he went against Jimmy
Regan, ' the sturdy California"., at
Providence. The coast lad was for
tunate to last the fifteen rounds; - r-
That ended Welling' activities in
the lightweight class, for the time . be
ing, although well under the lightweight-limit
Welling next opposed
a welterweight by name of Battling
Kopin of Jamestown, N.- Y. This
fighto ccurred at Syracuse and the
outcome has gone a long way toward
determining the brand of fighter Well
ing is. Kopin ten day prior to col
tiding with Welling administered a
ten-round drubbing to Jack Britton,
the welterweight champion. This
Kopin lad ' outfought and outboxcd
thr er r Britton in a maioritv of the
ten rounds. There waa not dissent
ing opinion as to the winner it was
Battling Kopin by the range of a city
- block... ,. .j ..s, ,.; .
Subbed for Britton.
The men were promptly rematched,
hut the bout fell through when Brit
ton reported ill. Welling, still re
membered for liis showing against
Bloom, was sought - as Britton'
proxy, and thejohnston battler went
into the ring against Britton' con
queror at only a few hour' notice.
Kopin weighed J47 pounds, while
Welling scaled in under 131 The
milling was fast throughout, and the
end came in the eighth round, when
Welling thrust a hard right to Ko
pm's jaw.",. Kopin never stirred while
he was being counted out, . .It re
quired several minute to revive him.
Here was Britton' conqueror flat
tened by a man fully twelve pounds
lighter. No wonder ' Johnson calls
him the wonderfully willing Welling.
: A Welling-Britton match was then
arranged by Boston promoters. A
few day before the -fight Britton
withdrew from.the match, claiming ill
health. : .' .-.y
Welling la Eager.
This was one bout Welling was
eager to engage in. He has several
reason for this eagerness, f irst ot
all, he desires to avenge the defeat
sustained by his pal and atable mate.
Kid Lewis, at the hands of Britton.
Then again. Welling i willing to
wager American currency that he can
defeat Britton decisively.
Welling bases this belief on the
fact that . for . several month he
trained with Britton. At that time,
Welling claims, he experienced no
difficulty in landing on the elusive
Britton. And Welling haa since im
proved, while Jack has not increased
his ettechveness witn added years in
the ring. '
Welling ha not lost hope of get
ting Britton into the ring. He real
izes clean-cut, victory over Britton
will put him at the top of the ladder
among fix welterweight. Then he
will revert to the lightweight division
ind pound Welsh into match with
the title at stake. ' ,
One peculiarity about the boxer
managed by Jimmy Johnston it that
weight never enter into considera
tion. Ted Lewis, though legiti
mate light weight, fought Mike Gib
bons, a confirmed middleweight and
. Lewis won. " v, . , -J

lightweight, and he doe not hesi

EMY DORJR.
Remy Dorr, born and raised in New
Orleans, has come to the front as a
priw fight manager in his native city
and is a favorite with all the south
ern fight fans, although not so well
known in other parts of the country.
He is 28 years old and was engaged
in the mercantile line before becom
ing a manager.
Remy Dorr's entrance into the fittht
field is rather unique. A local prize
fighter with whom Dorr was rather
friendly had been having bad luck
AL HAMAUX REAL
HURLING WONDER
Pirate Pitcher Gives Johnson
and Alexander Tussle With
Poor Team Behind Him.
JOE WOOD STILL JOBLESS
By FRANK 0. MENKE.
New York, July 22. Al Mamaux
ranks as the greatest pitcher ever un
covered since Walter Johnson and
Grover Alexander answered the call
of the majors. Some folks, pointing
to the relative merits of the trio, as
sert that the record of the youthful
Pirate phenom is better than that of
any gent that ever flipped a fin on
a ball field. 1 '
In 1915, hi first real year under
the big canvas, Mamaux won twenty
one out of twenty-nine combats, for
an average 'of .724. He accomplished
thi remarkable feat despite the fact
that he was ill with appendicitis and
frequently worked when he should
have been on hospital cot. The most
amazing feat of Mamaux"" s perform
ance is that he accomplished it with
a second rate team behind him a
club that finished with an average of
.474.-' v :
And now in 1916, wtih a team no
better than that of 1915, this 22-year-old
wonder it pitching beyond his
? treat mark of a year ago. He won
ourteen out of his first seventeen
start thi season, and with each game
he seems to improve. He has a firm
hold on the hurling leadership in the
league and, barring accidents, it aeems
certain that he will sweep on into the
stretcn an., easy winner.
Outpltche Oreat Rival.
With a championship team back of
him last season, the mighty Alexan
der was able to beat out.the kid Pirate
by only thirty-one point. Alex won
thirty-one games and loat ten for an
average of .756. Th best previou
year turned in by the Phillie pitcher
wa in 1913, when he won twenty
two out of thirty battles, for an aver
age of .733. This waa nine points
beyond that made by Mamaux last
season, but Alex had a far better team
behind him than Mamaux did, and,
furthermore, Alex wasn't handicapped
by illness.
Walter Johnson's two greatest
years were in 1912 and 1913. In the
former he won thirty-two out of forty-four
games, average .727, and in
1913 he reached his crest, winning
thirty-six out of forty-three games for
an average of .788. Both marks beat
that of Mamaux for 1915, but one
must remember that Johnson wa up-
Sorted by a pennant chasing club and
f amaux was with a hopeless tail
ender. And now
If Mamaux can pitch for a .724
average in hia first year out with a
punk club behind him, and then pitch
around the .800 mark during the first
part of next season, with an unim
proved team to support him ;: ,. ,
What would Mamaux do if he was
laboring for a hard hitting, all around
club like the Red Sox, the Tiger,
the White Sox, the Dodger or one or
two other of the pennant chasers?
VV ("Show Me" Wood Jobleaa. , '
The case of on Josephu Wood,
late of the Boston Red Sox, i a very
strange one, indeed.
Last year the "Smokey person led
the flinging bunch to the October
wire. He was the premier hurler in
the Johnsonian circuit; quite a notable
and needed new capital and backing
if he was to continue in the ring. He
told Dorr his troubles and Dorr, out
of kindness of heart, volunteered to
see what he could do, raised the nec
essary money, promoted the fight and
was surprised to see his man come
out victorious and started on the road
to ring success. Other rising fighters
in the vicinity heard of Dorr through
this and he was soon swamped with
managerial offer. Thus Dorr started,
in his rise to prominence as a fight
manager. .
feat in a league that Is cluttered up
wtih crack moundsmen.
And now this all-star slabman 1
jobless. i. .
Just before the gong sent the bast
ball warriors into the April fray, Jose
phus and his owner, one J. J. Lannin,
got into little argument,' anent ma
zuma. , It appears that J. J. was quite
keen about pruning the $6,000 salary
of the said Mr. Wood, whereupon the
latter exuded a wail of anguish and
remarked that idleness was preferablt
to laboring for a paltry sum like
3,000 or 4,000 bucks. .
And idleness has been Josephus' lot
since then. "". -
Lannin won't let Josephu work for
the Red Sox, nor will he aell him.
Other clubs, especially the Indians,
hanker for Josephus, but Lannin mur
murs, "Nay, nay," and there you are.
Some persons have the idea that
Joe isn't performing heavy chores this
summer because of a wobbly wing.
But that isn't the truth, the whole
truth, so help me, gosh. Yep, Joe'
wing ailed somewhat in 1914. And
also a trifle in 1815, but despite that
he managed to win fifteen out of hi
twenty starts last year.
The wing was quite well, thank you,
when the 1915 season ended, and it i
said to be in real working order now.
But Joe can't fling it because he sort
of sassed his boss when his boss de
cided that he ought to work for leu
dough; -.
Moral: Don't be sassy.
Experts Suspect
Dillon Does Not
( Always Do His Best
New York. Julv 22. Jack Dillon's
i quick victory over Jim Flynn has
strengthened the suspicion that the
Giant Kitler has not always tried as
hard as he might have done. Dillon
seems to have been under the impres
sion that if he did his beet at all times
his supply of opponents would be cut
off.
If Dillon entertained any such idea
it waa the biggest mistake he could
have made.-. It has caused him to
waste the best years of his ring career
fighting for small purses when he
might nave been earning big money.
No fighter ever need worry about be
coming ao feared that he cannot find
plenty of men willing to take him on.
Fitzsimmona, the greatest knock
out of all time, never had to remain
.idle for want of a match. Neither
did lerry McGovern, although he was
looked upon as being practically in
vincible. As a rule victory for these
men wa conceded in advance, yet
they were in constant demand, and
they always were well paid for their
efforts.
Ring followers love a knockerout
and are always with the man who
flatten his opponents for the full
count. It waa the decisive and spec
tacular way in which he won that
made Stanley Ketchel ao popular. No
man was ever more feared by his
rivals than Ketchel wa, yet he was
not forced to complain for lack of
work.
.Dillon is not a champion, so that
in his case there was even less reason
to hold anything back. There is no
doubt that he is being sidestepped by
several prominent heavies whom he is
anxious to meet, but it is because he
failed to stop so many dub that
these timid ones are abl to ignore
him. If Dillon had flattened all his
opponents there would bt auch a de
mand for him that none of the promi
nent contender could afford to avoid
him. They would have to fight or
quit the ring.

KNOCKOUT FOR THE
SPRINGSH00TER8
Money to Enforce Migratory
Bird Law Will Be Provided
by Congress.
HARD ON K. 0. CLIQUE
It is announced in Washington that
the appropriation for enforcement of
the Federal Migratory Bird Law has
been passed by congress. This is a
distinct set-back for the inter-state
Sportsmens Protective association of
Kansas City, who have been putting
up a fight against this law, which
means so much benefit to all classes
of the community. The opposition
has been chiefly centered around a few
special sporting interests whose
"sport" was interferred with by the
regulations made by the Department
of Agriculture.
Law Increased the Game.
The Federal Migratory Bird Law,
"passed in 1913, was a great step for
the preservation of our migratory
birds. Regulations under this law,
made by the Biological Survey at
Washington, forbade the killing of
song birds at any time, but permitted
the shooting of wild fowl as game
and for food under reasonable restric
tions. The longest open season pos
sible for the preservation of the birds
were given. These emulations gave
better shooting, more birds that came
earlier and stayed later in the fall,
because they stopped the spring
shooting which would soon destroy
all birds and which had already great
ly reduced the numbers. Sportsmen
and market gunners agree that the
present regulations have greatly in
creased the game and the legitimate
opportunities of the hunters.
Opposition i Busy.
There is,, however, opposition to
the closing of spring shooting in the
middle Missisippi valley, Kansas City
and St Louis being the centers
whence various types of malcontents
have sought to regain 'spring shoot
ing. Systematic work is being done
by "predatory interests" from liquor
dealers to bankers, to use the sport
ing privilege to transform wealth in
to special privilege and this into poli
tical influence. The ignorant gunner
is misled by the boasts of these men,
and the hospitality of shooting clubs
is used by "the man higher up" who
wishes to swap ducks for votes. The
system now permeats Kansas City and
St. Louis and claims to control game
'legislation at Jefferson City and even
befogs national congress at Wash
ington. Every type of personal
pique and political animosity is mar
shalled to support feeble and falla
cious arguments and to discredit the
Biological Survey and nullify its regu
lations. What Kansa City Wants.
Plainly stated, the chief argument
put forward by the Interstate Sports
men's association of Kansas City, is
that if an associaion has once leased
a place for shootinfi purposes, it has
the right to shoot ducks "at the only
time they are there," regardless of the
nation's laws to the contrary, and if
"thi claim is questioned they bring to
its support all the power of great
wealth and political organization.
What they want to do is to shoot
ducks in the spring when they are
mated and breeding, because with the
dry weather of late'years ducks have
not come to their private shooting
? laces in sufficient numbers in the
all. In spite of the fact that shoot
ing in the spring will soon bring about
a condition when there will be " no
ducks left, sprint; or fall, they put
their selfish desires above the com
mon welfare. ' , ' '
True Sportsmen for Law.
The great majority of voters and
the personal friends and well wisher
deplore the results of the systematic
campaign of misinformation which
haa ao misled their congressmen as to
the opinions and desires of the ma
jority of their constituents and the
true continent-wide interest of the na
tion. It is a plain case where the interests
of a few individuals who desire to
perpetuate special privileges to shoot,
must be curtailed for the benefit of
the public. There can be no question
as to the wisdom of supporting the
federal law protecting migratory
birds, and the state and federal of
ficials entrusted with this duty. ,

Asking of Hurdlers
Simpson, the University of Mis
souri athlete, ranks today as the
world' , greatest high hurdler.- He
won the Missouri Valley champion
ship in the fastest time ever made
over the "tall sticks," lowering the
world's record by two-fifths of a sec
ond. Previous to his record-breaking
performance Simpson tied the rec
ord of fifteen seconds held by Fred
Kelly of southern California, and on
two occasions showed fourteen and
four-fifths seconds. Two weeks after
the Missouri performance of fourteen
and three-fifths seconds Simpson
again went through in the same time
at the Western Conference champion
ships, which were held at Evanston,
111-, during the first week of June. '
Simpson, who is a magnificent
specimen of an athlete, weighs, strip
ped, 182 pounds and atands six feet
two inches in height. He is only 23
years of age. Simpson entered ath
letics just four years ago, when a
junior in high school, and never had
any coaching until he entered the
University of Missouri two years ago.
He never attempted to hurdle in
high school. His most wonderful
form which he displays while taking
the flights is a creation of hia own.
J. P. Nicholson of the Missouri uni
versity and the 1913 Amateur Athletic
union high hurdling champion, taught
Simpson the rudiment of the game.
In less than one month's time Simp
son had developed into a fifteen and
two-fifth second performer, and six
months later he equalled the world's
best time of fifteen seconds at the
Conference championships. Simpson
has also been credited with doing ten
seconds for the hundred yards sev
eral times. ' He ia also capable of do
ing over twenty-three feet in the run
ning broad jump and is a' good all
round track and field man.

NEW MACK MARVEL
IS NOJOLIEGIAN
Elmer Myers, Athletic Pitching
Sensation, Dug. Out of a
Blacksmith Shop. .
WAS QtON MAN WHEN BOY
Muscles developed as a kid, puffing
bellows and massaging the anvil in
his dad's blacksmith shop in York
Springs, Adams county, Pennsylvania,
are making Elmer Myrs famous
these days. .
From the smith's stand beneath the
spreading chestnut to the front rank
of the 1916 curving marvels was a
short jump for the rookie who has
proved the pitching sensation of the
American league this season.
.Proud of Myers.
"Myers is the greatest young
pitchef I have ever developed. Bet
ter than Plank, Bender or Coombs?
Yes sir I Meyers does not know as
much about pitching as these old
stars, but right today he is a better
pitcher than any of them were in
their prime." ,
That is Mack's tribute to the grad
uate blacksmith.
The youngster is a right-hander,
stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and has a
long pair of arms, which aids him in
getting closer to the batsmen before
he lets the ball go out of his hand.
That section of Pennsylvania whence
he came saw the rise of Chief Bender
at Carlisle school and Plank at
Gettysburg.
Real "Iron Man."
As a boy wonder Myers was called
an "iron man" because of his ability
to hurl and win three games a week.
Mack signed him in 1912. The lad was
then 18 years of age, so Connie ship
ped him to his son, Earl, at Raleigh,
N. C, for seasoning.
After two years in Dixie Myers
took the 1915 training jaunt with the
Mackian host, only to be returned to
Raleigh. Last fall he again reported
to the Athletics, but failed to impress
until the last week of the season,
when he blanked Washington, getting
two blows and fanning ten.
Has Fine Curve Ball.
The youngster has splendid control,
a corking curve balland a graceful,
easy delivery which gets the ball over
the plate almost "before the batter
realizes it. In three games against
Washingtpn, Detroit and St. Louis in
the same week, only twelve hits were
made off him. Only one Tiger rap
ped him hard. Burns getting three
safeties.
Mack predicts that before the sea
son is over Myers will rank with
Walter Johnson and Grover Alex
ander. Jim Would Go to War,
But Wifey Said No
Jim Savage, the New Jersey heavy
weight, yearned to be a soldier. When
the call to arms came from Washing
ton, Jim" donated his services, took
the oath of allegiance and went to a
militia camp. He was ready to knock
out as many Mexicans as would step
before his trHsty gun. But Jim didn't
go to Mexico. - Here is the reason, as
given by the Newark News:
'When Jim Savage went to the
mobilization camp with the troops,
Mrs. Jim Savage surveyed the seven
Savage children and promptly con
cluded that Jim was needed more in
Newark than -in Mexico.
"Mrs. Jim then visited a number
of army officers in an effort to secure
Jim' release. Finally she, got to Gen
eral Sadler. - The ' warrior was im-
firessed with the statement that seven
ittle Savages might suffer if Jim went
to war. So he said:
" 'We don't need .him yet. I'll put
him on the reserves.'
"Mrs. Savage agreed that would be
fine.
"All this time Jim didn't know
what was going on. He was 'pre
senting arms,' standing at 'attention,
etc., in camp, when, to his aston
ishment, Mrs. Savage appeared at his
tent and announced, he was through
temporarily as a soldier. He
wouldn't believe it, and went to work
again. She waited around. In about
an hour the papers arrived.
"Jim is home again."

Sound of wind and strong of limb,
You sped up to the top,
But now thoie year gone by grow
Your path' begun to drop.
Twelve year ago, in nineteen five.
Not long a we see time,
You checked the great Athletic drive,
Then yon were in your prime.
And as you marched through later
year.
Stepped forth to battle fate.
They called you, Matty, in their
cheer,
The greateat of the great
But time ha made its toll at lait, .
You're going to the Red,
The pace has now become too fast,
What every pitcher, dread.
But as you pasa upon your way,
Your duty nobly done,
The world will up and loudly aay,
"We're always with you,
Mathewson."
A golfer may not always break
a record, but he never fails to
break at least eight commandments.
Some golfers are good players,

Why, try l Mt aw dear tvyl
Strangler Lewis' home town in
Wisconsin, we see, has welcomed
, Mr. Lewis home with much eclat
after the Strangler's "great suc
cess at Omaha in his match with
Joe Stecher." If Mr. Lewis'
home town will only succeed in
keeping Mr. Lewis home it will
receive the heart-felt thanks of
Omaha.
Frank Gotch has broken his
leg. Not getting morbid, or any
thing, but you don't see any
mourners in Omaha.
Lay him gently on his back.
Clothe him in a suit of black,
Place his hands across his breast,
Take him to his final rest.
Who, you query, is this gent,
Who so suddenly ha went
He' the guy, the flooey latch.
Who went to ee a wrestling match.
With apologies to Howard Mann.
