Coulon was preoccupied with business In the West at the time and so Burns entered the -ring with Stanley and gave the Briton a drubbing. Although Burns is now 19 years of age he Is, by reason of good habits, at the top of his athletic form, and would be a match for any bantam or feather In the world. If the Jersey promoters After spending a year In a Milwaukee sanitarium. Ad Wolgast is planning a grand "comeback," according to a let ter received from none other than Ad himself. It Is not ths need of money that is stirring Wolgast to his present plans, since his sock is well lined with something like $2iA).000. The stout heart and sturdy frame that carried him to victory In many bitter battles longs again for the excitement of the ring. Now barely past 30 years of age. Wolgast announces that he will clear up a number of legal tangles, endeavor to get a divorce and then crawl over the ropes again. Several years ago the Wily German claims to have staked Manager Mike Collins, of Fred Fulton's outfit, with $2000 In return for a con tract allowing him 25 per cent of Ful ton's earnings. Wolgast has already realized handsomely on this Investment and states that he will reeclve some thing like $20,000 If Wlllard and Fulton get together. 1 At present Wolgast Is dickering for a bout with Frankie Whitney at At lanta, Ga., in the latter part of May. Although fully restored, physically and mentally, his backers fear that the stress of a hard ring engagement may cause a return to his former condition. Wolgast lays claim to the discovery of Jess Wlllard while the latter was enjoying the bill of fare of friendly taverns in Chicago and leading a band-to-mouth existence. According to Wol gast's version, he happened into a training gymnasium on day when Wll lard was working ont with a "pork- and-beaner, and was greatly impressed i have any sense of the fitness of things 1 with the wallop carried by the big Columbia.

Many noted rlngstera have been mentioned as likely to appear In the first boxing bout In New Jersey, but the boxer who seems to have the edge on all the others and who la certainly entitled to the honor and support of the fans In the 8keeter State Is Frsnkla Burns, of Jersey City. This young man not only has been a credit to the boxing game In America, but his exploits In the ring and his conduct outsMe the roped arena have shed luster on his native state. Not only did Burns come within a hair's breadth of winning the bantam title, but now at a time of life when nearly all pugilists are on the down grade be Is battling with a vigor, a courage and a skill never. before equaled except by the freckled flster Fltsalmmons. Burns has met every bantam cham- they will feature Burns in the first bout that Is stsged under the Hurley law.

They have been rubbering at a live, all-wool and a yard wide champion. Benny Leonard is bis name and he is the lightweight king. who came all the way to San Francisco to take part in a big patriotic show and box four rounds in a real fight with Johnny McCarthy. In the good old days when the fight game was going ths rounds In the routine sort of way lightweight cham plona were the rule rather than the ex ception. We paid mighty little atten tion to them aa they passed up and down Market street. Tske recent years and the modern batch of fans will go back to Joe Cans. Joe wa a champion of champions. He boxed a number of times In San Fran cisco and n California and was well known here. In fact It was at Jimmy Coffroth's Mission-street arena that he lost his title finally to Battling Nelson. Nelson Stark California. Nelson also boxed most of his Ira portant matches In California. The reason Is plain to understand. The Battler was primarily a long-distance scrapper. He had to take many a punch for the sake of handing bis op ponent a few. In four or 10 rounds the Battler never would have counted. Consequently he stuck close to the Uolden West. After Nelson there came Ad Wolirast. Wolgast did fight In the Middle West and on the Atlantic seaboard, but he was partial to this state and had many friends. Willie Ritchie, aa a Pan Francisco product, naturally needed no Intro duction to Callfornlans or particularly to San Franciscans. Fred Welsh, the next chap, hardly was as well known as the others, but he had boxed In Los Angeles snd San Francisco, so It could be said he was a more or less familiar figure. Leonard Stranger to State. But Benny Leonard, who took the crown from Welsh, never touched foot on California soil until this last week. We had seen pictures of the lad and had heard of his fame, but never did see what he looked like. Benny appears to be able to deliver the goods.- Those who hsve seen him In his workouts at the Olympic Club are satisfied be Is a clever lad, a good puncher and withal a boy who Is en titled to the championship. He is a pleasant appearing youngster as well and made many friends here. Naturally, as he Is out here for benefit matches, he comes rather on a differ- nt footing than for a championship fight. i Manager BIIIt Gibson explained that Benny was out of1 condition; that for montha he has done nothing but drill soldiers and hasn't been able to fit himself for a fight. That was eri- His wind was bad and he was decidedly overweight, Ritchie Is) Entertainer. Willie Ritchie, who came down from Camp Lewis to help out In the same show, has been good company for Leonard. The two were acquainted in the East and they have proved great pals. Willie has taken Leonard around to dances and affairs of the sort, while Jimmy Cof froth has given his time over to entertaining Billy Gibson. the premier manager, who is also visiting California for the first time. Though four-round promoters made tempting offers to . Leonard to fight, Gibson turned them down.' The man ager explained they are working un der orders from the military author! ties and that they have not the right to accept commercial propositions. Also they do not feel it is the right thing to do. Tliis coming week Leonard wlu ap pear at an Oakland show in ths Oak land municipal auditorium. After that It Is possible Coffroth may be able to secure consent for the champ to take part in a Southern California pro gramme, either at Los Angeles or San Diego Gibson told the news this week of an offer of 130.000 for Leonard to box Irish Patsy Kline In New Haven, Conn on the Fourth of July. . Leonard has been offered 170,000 for a 20-round match. He is anxious to accept, and will do so, providing r. Raycroft will give his consent- It Is possible that arrangements will be made so the Army war fund will benefit, and if that is the case It Is more than, likely consent will be forth coming. F niton Redeems Himself. Last week I was forced to say many unkind things about Fred Fulton, who declined to help out In this same show at which Leonard was the headliner. But I have to tell the story of an In cident at the Olympic Club that shows Fulton up in a far better light. Some of the O. C. men asked Fulton to appear In an exhibition. He re plied that he would be glad to do so, and arrangements were made for a performance at 12:30, the noon hour. Just prior to the designated time Ful ton telephoned that he would like to appear, but the manager of the show house where he displayed his talents wouldn t allow It Judge T. I. Fltzpatrlck got busy and secured the consent of the theatri cal people. Then be had to telephone Fulton and tell him all about it. Of course, that took time, but a fair share of the crowd waited. Fulton naturally thought It was to be an exhibition with one of the club amateurs: The amateur ent was all right, for Rudy Peterson was selected, but thene was plenty of trouble. Somebody seversl somebodies, I am inclined to think ribbed Peterson, Peterson Poshes Fight.' They told him soms of the harsh things that had been said of the Min nesota giant and suggested that he go In and clean Fred. Rudy, who is by scheme, and thought It would be great. He started swinging from the gong. Fulton smiled for a minute, though he didn't know what It was all about, and finally walked to the side of the ring, explaining that he had been told it was an exhibition pure and simple; that he was just out of bed and hadn't had his breakfast. But Peterson kept on slugging. In the second Tiny. Fred did nothing but cover and protect himself. In the third It was a different story. Fulton was "mad" all over. He cut loose with a vengeance and dropped Rudy .twice. Fat La Rue, who -acted as the referee, stepped in between the two, and the bout was over. ' At first blush, the Olympians were Inclined to blame Fulton. Then they saw the injustice of such an attitude and quickly the spectators burst into applause. They realized they had been unfair to Fulton in inviting him into their home and- then trying to make him the "goat." And they redeemed themselves so far as was possible. Of course, this doesn't take the edge off the other situation that Fulton once agreed and later declined to box Willie Meehan at the benefit perform ance. They are still blaming him In Cal ifornia for that. Even in the southern part of the state feeling Is Intense. ' H. C Alden, a chief gunner in the naval reserve, wrote a letter to the commandant of this dis trict Captain Russell asking that he take every means in his power to pre vent Fulton from appearing on the stage or in the ring. Chief Gunner Alden' labeled Fulton as a "slacker" and made some cutting remains. Willie Meehan, who came north to box Knockout Kruvosky In place of Fulton, also has been on the warpath. He avers that the reason Fulton side stepped the Issue was because he was afraid of him and that he had a good notion to steo up to Fulton on the street and Dull his nose. The local theatrical folks estimate they were damaged 15000 by this con troversy; that people lead of Fulton's attitude and In disgust stayed away from the week's show. That may be stretching matters, but it's a cinch Ful ton did not increase the receipts a sin gle penny. Welgaat Ont of Hospital.

Balloon Ascension and Bicycle Races to Be Included In Programme. Champions Hope to Break Speed Records. This year"s annual motorcycle races at the Rose City Speedway on Dec oration day. May 30, promise to be some of the greatest speed events of the kind ever staged In Portland. An ex ceptionally good programme of races has been lined up by Fred J. Wyatt, chairman of the racing committee of the Rose City Motorcycle Club, under whose auspices the Decoration day meet Is being staged. As a new feature this year and an added attraction there will be several bicycle races for different distances preceding the motorcycle races. Another feature which iVyatt is fig uring on is a balloon ascension with a triple parachute drop and probably an airplane exhibition. A number of the best riders in the West have sent in their entry blanks and the speed fans will witness a. formidable array of racing talent In action on May 30. Racers Practice on Coarse. The local speed demons are burning up the Rose City Speedway several nights a week and every Sunday after noon. The circular mile track has been scraped, rolled and oiled several times within the last few weeks and is in fine condition. Otto Walker holds the mile record on the speedway, traveling that distance in a race against time in 1 64 2-5 seconds two years ago. Ray i Creveston made a mile in 45 seconds i in one lap of a five-mile race. Monty Graves went the distance in 43 seconds , last year. All of the above three fa ! mous speedsters are now serving Uncle Sam. "Dusty" Farnum, present Far West ern champion, in a letter to Wyatt, says that he will do the mile against time in "45 seconds or bust." Farnum is one of the greatest riders in the coun- 1 try and cleaned up everything in the Northwest and West last year. "Dusty" J will be here Decoration day with bells. i He was the star of last year's contest and is confident that he will repeat again this year. There will be three bicycle races be tween 1 and 2 o'clock half mile, mile and five miles. Novices to Compete. The motorcycle races will be 5, 10 and 15-mile professional events, and between 12 and 15 professional racers will be waiting for the gun. There will be a one-mile novice race for fully equipped machines with high handle bars, the machines to be .jlpped with three-inch tires and three speeds. The big event of the day will be a 20-mile stock race, open to all. The machines must be 61 cubic Inches or less. The racing committee is also trying; to arrange a race for oversize motors, such as the big valve Indian, Excelsior, Reading-Standard and Thor, which have as high as 72 cubic inches displacement. The shipyards will have their Inning and will go In for the speed races the same as baseball and every other line of sport. There will e two special races for the shipyards only an Australian pursuit race and a relay race. Grant Smith-Porter will be rep resented by Charles Fegone and R. V. Newman on Big-Valve Indians.

It was voted to increase the active members to 75. We will now have a roster of exactly 200. Hurrah I It only took us about five minutes to vote the increase and we were all jubilant with the result, for we have wanted just that many members for a long time, when Lou Woodward got up and remarked that he would give all the new members a season ticket to the Wlndamuth baths he owns out In the middle of the river. That started something. Bill Par ham arose and said we didn't want the whole town to join, we just wanted some of "em. Commodore Boost was afraid It would Insinuate we thought the entire popu lation of Portland needed a bath and offend some of the I. W. Ws. Georpe Kelly immediately resigned and put in his application as a new member. Ray Jamison said the rush would sink the floats and put us to a lot of expense.

While in the norths Mr. Henderson expects to do some fish ing. He says the fish are so thick where he is going that one has no use for a line. Just throw out a net and get all the fish necessary. If more than can be used are caught there is a cannery close that will take them. As Milt owns the cannery, he knows.
