COM HELD TO DRAW BY BURNS IN TERRIFIC GO
Bantam Champion Is Given a Tough Battle by SpeedyRival at Kenosha; Each Man Wins Round.

Kenosha, Wis., June 24. Frankle Burns of "Joisey" will be happy today, bis twenty-fourth birthday. He earned an even break with the world's champion, Johnny Coulon, In ten dassling: rounds In the Kenosha arena last night and made good his ante-battle prediction that the king: pin of the class had nothing on him. What is more. Burns was the fresher and the stronger of the pair at the finish, and had the twenty-round limit prevailed that he traversed with John at New Orleans some time ago he would have had a grand chance to call himself champion after the row. Coulon is a boxing master, and so is the "Joisey" boxer. In all the trips Chicago fans have made to this Badger fight town, they have never seen the skillful glove play dished up by these speedy 116-punders last night. They were busy every minute of the time with feinting, footwork and lightninglike leads, and kept the crowd at a high pitch of excitement throughout. To Coulon's discredit it may be said that he held on pretty vigorously in the last three rounds. Whenever he got Frankie's left glove under his right arm It took all of Frankie's pulling power and warnings from the referee to get it out of there. Ttiith to - tell, John did not appear to realish the speedy going as much as he did In the good old days.
It must not be gathered from this that we think because Burns held the Logan Square boy even that the champion is fading fast. Not so. He's a whale yet and it will take a wonderful boy to snatch his title away from him. Kid Williams, please take notice. While Coulon was holding toward the close and seemed content to nestle in his taller foe's embrace, he was full of fight at the closing bell. He started the last round with a wonderful burst of speed. He Blowed up after a minute, but he had set a pace that would have slowed up anybody after a half hour of honest milling. John is still tough and strong. The fans must remember that Burns was good enough In Coulon's heydey
to fight him Just about an even fight
for ten rounds. He did it in New York twice and John's decision over him in twenty at New Orleans was a questionable one.
But the bout serves to show that there are three rivals in Coulon's class at present who are mighty close to championship stride. Kid Williams beat Campi. Campi beat Burns, and Burns held John even last night. That
makes it look a little bad for the champ, but it is not as bad as the dope would indicate. They'll have a whale of a time bouncing the crown off
John's bald bonnet.
CUBBY HAS BEST RIGHT
TO TITLE Of HIS DIVISIO
BY SPIKE. Who is the middleweight champion of the world today? Everybody in this region knows, or should know, that since decisively eliminating Eddie McGoorty from those ranks Jimmy Clabby of Hammond Is the only dyed-ln-the-wool champion of his division today. The question, however, is attracting the attention of the fans more than it has ever done before, as Klaus and Dillon are both claiming equal rights to "them honors." But "Jeems" Clabby is out with a

declaration. He has notified all middleweights that they will have to lick
him or relinquish all claim to the title. Clabby has clinched the middle
weight title and will defend It against all comers. It Is time that Clabby awakened as he was in the position to defend the title two years ago after coming back from the antipodes, where he was crowned the greatest middle
weight in the world.
Fans ana reliable authorities acknowledge that he Is one of the greatest boxers in the ring today. He can
easily be called a rare combination of
the modern prise ring performer,
namely, a boxer and a fighter. Despite the fact that Clabby ranks and has
ranked head and shoulders over 99 per
cent of the mlddleweights in this
country he has been content to go along and box now and then and make only a feeble effort to gain recognition
as a champion.
Clabby has everything a champion needs. Speed afoot and with his hands.
natural cleverness to burn, a tremend
ous punch in either hand, ring generalship, plenty of experience and to top it all he has the Btrength to withstand
a hard beating and come back and win
This he demonstrated In his last tilt
with Eddie McGoorty at Butte, Mont.
McGoorty dropped Jimmy right off the
reel and had the Hammond battler on his back at the end of the first round. But after that Jimmy came to and battered McGoorty sll over the ring, winning from a fighter who is regarded as the best of the mlddleweights. Clabby never knew he had so many warm friends until he licked McGoorty and every fight fan in Hammond turned out to greet him. If he starts a campaign and goes after all the middlewelghts In the land they predict a clear claim to the title for Jimmy within a year. He can do 152 pounds ringside without batting an eye. During his past six fights he has given away at least ten pounds to every opponent, and when he faced McGoorty he let his opponent outweigh him In the neighborhood of fifteen pounds when they straddled the ropes. There are some mlddleweights who could not be dragged into the same ring with Clabby and those who want the opportunity

WHITE SOX DIVIDE
BILL WITH BROWNS; M IN 12 ROUNDS
Visitors Start Opening Bat
tle With Two Tallies and Beat Cicotte, 3 to 1.
Midst an odor of ancient and honor
able fromage so dense it might have
been sliced with a brick, the White
Sox achieved another, even break with
the lowly Browns yesterday in their second successive double-header. St. Louis won the first battle, 3 to 1, and was all set to cop the second by the same score, when a gift tally in the eighth and a real one in the ninth enabled the White Sox to knot the count. They won out on their legs in the twelfth, 4 to 3.
The opening game would have been
at least one run closer but for a smelly decision by SUk O'Loughlln at the plate In the eighth Inning. It robbed the Callahans of a counter which would
have tied the score and resulted In the banishment of Manager Callahan
from the picture for the rest of the
day.

Jury Returns Verdict of Not

Calgary, Alta., June 24. "Not guilty,

In Burns' arena on May 24 was a prize
fight, but that Arthur Pelky is not guilty of causing the death of Luther
McCarty."
Such was the verdict of the jury In

after being out an hour and fifteen

ernment the necessity of enacting such measures to existing legislation to pre
clude further holding of contests of this nature in Alberta."
Dr. Moshier, autopsy expert, was the
chief witness at the morning session.
and under cross-examination by Attor
ney Smith, he admitted that he had several theories as to the cause of Mccarty's death, and had not stuck to one
given in the autopsy report.
Hearing of evidence was over at
12:30 o'clock and court resumed at 2 o'clock. Smith started his address to the Jury. He laid stress on the fact that the bout was a boxing exhibition pure and simple; that the crown had sanctioned bouts by not interfering
with previous affairs staged here; that
the crown attorney had himself at
tended bouts here some time ago; that
the autopsy had been a dismal failure.
and the crown had not proved the real cause of death.
Crown Attorney Short was nervotis
and his remarks didn't carry far. He said the bout was a prise fight, and quoted advertising to show it to be for the world's championship. He pointed out that both McCarty and Pelky were
professional pugilists and were meeting for the money involved.
In closing Short said that because of
the legal points Involved and doubt as
to what constitutes a prise fight, if the Jury brought in a verdict of guil
ty, he would ask for a suspended sentence.
