After the London bout there came a "story that Welsh would grant the American another match under certain conditions. These conditions included 133 pounds ringside weight and a side bet of (35,000.

In these days of mod- erninity, Tioxers work for what they -can get in the way of guarantees and .don't take big chances with wagering on the result. Willie Ritchie, for ex ample, never had anything worth while up in the way of bets when he has been tighting, and the same thing probably goes for the other scrappers of whom we read so much. Eddie Campi. the San Francisco ban- ment or ueorge nmgie, wno once was -manager of Frank Klaus. Engle writes from his home in New Jersey that Eddie will take things easy during the hot Summer months, and that some time this Fall will take a trip to Paris, where he has been promised a mill With one of the French boys. Engle says he Is anxious to force Kid Wil liams, new champion, into a return en gagement with the Callfornian, and that such a match will be arranged if it is at all possible. - Coffroth has finally despaired of bringing together George Chip and Mike Gibbons for an August or Sep tember match. Evidently Jimmy Dime, manager of Chip, is not anxious for the match, since he has avoided Coffroth prospects of sending his man against the St. Paul glove artist. It would be an interesting bout to watch, but I imagine that Dime thinks Gibbons so clever he might be taking undue chances. Dime has also come in for a world of criticism at the hands of Snowy Baker's San Francisco representative. Chip was offered a guarantee of $10,000 for three matches In the Antipodes, the most important of these matches, nat urally, being against Jimmy Clabby. It would unquestionably settle the ques tion of who is the middleweight cham pion of the world, but Dime declined, saying the guarantee was not suffi ciently large to Interest him. Steve Ketchel, who made the trip across the Pacific with Clabby, returned the other day and announced that Clabby had another match scheduled with Jeff Smith, who won a question- , able decision over the Indiana lad. After that fight, according to Ketchel, both Clabby and Jess Smith will re turn to this country, likely arriving here the fore part of September. The return of Clabby will tend to sttr up interest among the middlewelghts, and there is no question but that Coffroth will do his utmost to bring the pair together.

"DOPE" OF VARIOUS TREND Camera Man Catches Gunner In Act of Delivering Blow Which Cost Him Fight With French Champion. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Judged from the tenor of the "dope" sent out after the recent Gunboat Smith Georges Carpentier fight in London, the same must have been reported by the lame, the halt and the blind of Jour nalism. The experts on hand were unanimous that it was an unintentional foul, that it was a deliberate foul, that Smith was robbed, that Referee Corrl was right, that Carpentier deserved the deolslon and that the English showed themselves poor sports. But we now have some straight in INGENIOUS GOLFER TRIES BILLIARD SHOT IN EFFORT TO FIND t ' J HINT TO AMERICANS GIVEN. An ingenious golfer is the man who is seen in the photograph lying on his stomach endeavoring to make a billiard shot. Finding himself "Stvmied" on the ninth green at the Aldersburgh links, in Suffolk, Ens land, he resorted to this unique use of the golf stick in an effort to "hole" himself out of a bad position. This may be a suggestion to hundreds' of American golfers who may sometime find themselves in a sim ilar position. A2ece.Jvec ?e. cSson formation on the fight. Photographs of the battle came by the fast express yesterday. One photograph shows the Gunner in the act of delivering a foul blow, the one which lost htm the flght. The re markable picture depicts the French man on his hands and knees when the Califomtau started the illegal punch.: This ought to settle the dispute over the blow. From all appearance Corrl was correct In his ruling, and it is about time for Americans to wake up and realize that boxing rules are made to govern the sport and not to be broken. James J. Corbett sometimes gets off on the right foot, and we quote this evidence from one of hl3 recent syndi cate letters: "Nowadays the referees are hardly more than figureheads. Foul after foul is committed in the average bout, and the average boxer gets away with it usually without comment by the ref eree, press or public. In these degen erate days in this country the crowds want decisive results and the crowds ar catered to. If Smith and Carpentier had fought in San Francisco without doubt no foul would have been de clared." But rules are rules, and they ought to be lived up to, especially in interna tional affairs in which National honor and sportsmanship are so closely scru tinized by both parties. Cutthroat Trout Planted. POMEROY, Wash., Aug. 1. (Special.) Seventy thousand Cutthroattrout were received in Pomeroy yesterday from the Walla Walla hatcheries and were planted in the Tucannon and Pataha Rivers near Pomeroy. The eggs came from Lake Chelan, Wash., and were hatched at Walla Walla. President Watson Declares 28 Out of 45 Clubs in United States Accept His Dictum About Journalist Players. Apparently there is no downing the question with regard to the status of the amateur golfer, says a golf writer in an exchange. Despite the efforts in some quarters to dismiss the subject, there is still the jjersistence on the part of the governmental powers that be to abtain, as far as possible, the real ly true opinion of the rank and file of golfers throughout the country as to what really constitutes an amateur golfer. Much has been said and written to the effect that Robert C. Watson, pres ident of the United States Golf Associa tion, is a man who is not willing to give way unless it be conclusively proved th'at he is decidedly in error. When Watson gave out statements to all the club members of the United States Golf Association declaring that certain abuse's had crept into the game, there was much ado. Watson never gave these views to the public, al though lie sent them to all the clubs of the United States Golf Association. None the less, they cropped out, and caused some furore. Watson's explanation appeared short ly afterward. It was an interview which explained that men who had made the newspaper business tneir pro fession could not well be called pro fessional golfers. But, the president said, those who had been in other lines of business and had because of the reputation obtained on the golf links decided to become professional writers about the sport were not exempt from the ruling which made them profes sional' golfers. There might have been much more argument had not the president merely submitted his views to the golfers of the country with the statement that lie did! no wish to retire from office under the impression that he was afraid to call attention to the existing evils. That is the plain reason for it all. Another phase was added' to the situ ation last week when the president an nounced that out of returns from 45 clubs, members of the United States Golf Association, no less than 28 fully agreed with him. There were 13 still to be heard from, but it is rather sig nificant that the greater percentage, including some of the best-known clubs in the country, at least went on record as favoring some stricter definition of an amateur golfer. There 'is one fair golfer of the Earl Ington Golf Club, Seattle, who will in vestigate every sandbox hereafter be fore reaching for the tee stuff. One day last week she started for the mat with a good-sized handful of sand, when she was startled by a compan ion's gasp. Imagine her horror when she dis covered that she had brought out a full-sized, wriggling garter snake. Here is one from George Junor, care taker at the Tualatin Country Club. George was the man who reallyput the links on the map and he took con siderable pride In their apaearance and upkeep. "One Spring I went down to take charge." explained George the other day, "and, before announcing myself, went out for a jaunt on the links to see how the mower driver was getting along. " 'Howdye do?" I said to him, as he drove his horse alongside. And the boob was cutting the grass across the fairways, too. 'How are the links?' " 'Oh, not Very good,' he replied, look ing me over carefully, for he did not know me. 'They had a d n crazy Scotchman down here last year and he left them in awful condition.' " The following morning George gave the Viking an unconditional release. No. 9 is now the only green on the new Portland Golf Club course that has not been nicely leveled off. oiled and sanded by Caretaker Dickson. He has had to chop and hew his way through earth almost as hard as ma cadam, but at last his tedious task is almost finished. The club owes him a vote of thanks. As a result of the continued lm provement in the links more and more golfers are snowing up ior piay, ana these new links, six miles southwest of Portland, promise to give the an NEW WAY OF "HOLING OUT."

The Shamrock IV, Sir Thomas Lipton's latest challenger for the America's cup, is now on the way to the United States with the Erin. Sir Lipton's private steam yacht, acting as convoy. "The Shamrock IV has done all that has been asked of her," was the final word of Charles E. Nicholson, the designer. He admits, however, that the trial boat was in no way satisfactory as the type of opponent which would enable yachtsmen to gauge accurately the Shamrock IV's chances of lifting the cup. The crew of the Sham rock IV, numbering more than 30 men, was divided during the voy age across, half of the force luxuriating on board the Erin as far as the Azores and then relieving their shipmates for the rest of the journey. cient Scotch pastime a new lease of life in Portland. Naturally, the course offers advan tage superior to the Waverly and the new Tualatin, and all it needs is time to develop. The Tualatin club has spent upwards of $25,000 In Improve ments within a year and it is in first class condition. When that amount has been spent on the Portland links they will rank not far below Waverly. When Jack Neville went out in the Western golf championships a lot of his friends in San Francisco and Se attle lost money. On the basis of his performances on the Coast this Spring the wise ones figured Jack would be up there in the finals. His play against Egan at the North western championships will long be re membered.
