MITCHELL WINNER ri OVER WELLING IN WHIRLWIND BOUT

RACINE. WTS., Dec. 19. The fisnt'ng horde that braved the risers of a cold Wisconsin nigiit got its money's viprJjn this town iast evening-. It saw fdtchie Mitchell, V-h is making; Milwaukee famous, oxitftght Joe Welling of Chicago In the best battle that has been staged In this state. since the 1 Tedding boxing law was passed. It saw ten rounds of desperate, earnest and scientific battling, each one of which was a fight in itself. It sawthree knockdowns right off the reel in the first round. That's enough to start any fistic combat off well, provided It n:pe the limit, and this one did for len blistering, blinding three-minute sessions. it went out into the night hilariover the sansatlonaJ struggle and threatening to take Mlltrtuke by ; torm if this pair ever meets there, "'iiich. believe me, they surely will, and before long; too. It's the best match right back on the lightweight boards for this section of the country. Welling: Dropped Twice. -Mitchell's widely advertised speei and some rapid fire right-hand punching in the first round won him the fight. Of the three knockdowns in a Mizzardly session. Mitchell scored a couple, the first two. Welling had been going along for a minute or so nnd seemed to be the master. lie got a bit careless and. wham! went a Mitchell right to the chin. It did not

LONDON. Dec. 19. The twenty round bout between Jimmy Wilde of Wales, and Youirar Zulu Kid of America for the flyweight championship of the world furnished a thrill for 3,000 spectators when the slender Britisher ended the contest by knocking out the Kid in the eleventh round. In the first round Zulu landed half a dozen light blows before Wilde got feome his first blow, a clever left to the J"w. As usual. Wilde at the beginnhYg let the other man do the fighting, and the Kid followed him around the ring twice, getting the Britisher on to the ropes, but without much eff ecy T:jWe missed at times in the early rounds ami got one or two nasty Jabs hlcn sbc-ok htm, but came back and from long range planted smashes Into the Kld'B face.

He clambered immediately to hfs feet, only to get another of the same variety on the Identical spot. Joe again sat down, and again refused to take a count. When Welling got up this time his legs waibuied a bit. and Mitchell tore into him viciously. But Joe had the stamina, and was rlg-ht there in a merry mixup. There came another big surprise. Joe nailed Richie on the chin point, and he sat down In the same fashion, only a little quicker. He also was up quicker. die to his natural speed. From that until the bell it was give and take. Both Boya Take Panlakatcnt. After that there were no knockdowns, though some thought Richie was npeet in the seventh round. But though neither hit the canvas from that on they were at it hammer and tongs every 'round. They were mussed up about the face at the finish and their bodies were reddened from stiff and well meant punches. Though Welling was outfought he was a fresh as his foe at the conclusion and the result of a longer 'conflict is still in doubt. Also one of the same distance perhaps if Joe does not get caught napping early In the going. Mitchell won the first .fourth, fifth, eight and ninth rounds. Joe annexed the third and seventh.

(Wilde .sobered the Kid at the end of the third round with a hard right after the American kept up a rataplan on his ribs. Tbe Kid's face was in a nasty mess by the sixth round. He was still full of fight, however, and landed telling blows on" Wilde's 3aw. He came on strong and pinned Wilde to the ropes, playing hard for a knockout the same round. In subsequent rounds the American took a lot of punishment and gave little, and in the eleventh Wilde landed ' the knockout he had been trying for.

THE BOUT

NEW YOPJv. 'Dec. 1 9. Had . Gunboat Smith been the least bit aggressive he would have won without question

from Frank Moran at the Clermont rink in Brooklyn last night. Moran earned a draw simply because he carried the fight to Smith all the way. Smith landed oftener. but did little of the leading, while Moran was on top of hiTO every second. Smith waa compelled to use every trick he knew or ever heard of to keep out of danger. He was in a bad way In the sixfh round. Moran had him pinned on the ropes and popped-eyed when the last bell rang. Moran was strong and full of fight, but it was too late to bring the Gunner down. Moran' Blow Shake Conner. It was a poor exhibition of the manly art. Both men missed time and again when there seemed little reason for muffing. Moran was far from accurate, though he shook the good cruiser Smith to the keel every time his big guns scored. Smiih seemed satisfied to backwater at all times, with the hope that he might catch Moran coming in.

BASKETBALL

SPORTING COMMENT Forrest "Heinie" Morrow has announced that he will continue next season in the management of the Clabby A. C- football team. Morrow J talks some of making the- team a traveling organization. He states that after park rental, help and advertising are paid it amounts to sufficient to take a team to Minneapolis and back. Hammond may not be the best football town on earth and Morrow may be right in wanting to take the club on tour and let the local bugs go without, but we express a sincere hope that he won't take us back to Lafayette. There would have been a thousand more people "to the I'ine Village game if it had been played in

Hammond. Anyway we think Morrow is bluffing about this out of town business. When the Moose in Hammond give their next boxing exhibition, a r.ew

comer. Stanley Flieger, would like to get on. stanleV fights at 121 and is a nice lad worthy of recognition. If he fights' like he runs down a flight of stairs, he can lick Jess Willard. Whiting high school has produced another sensational basketball player in Gill who registered thirty-two points all by his lonesome in the Lowell game. Paul Parduhn is making elaborate plans for the baseball season and is looking around for available pitching material. He will probably grab off an ex-:g league twirler. Skating is with us again and prospects are that the week from Christmas to New Years will be real oldfashioned winter, made to order for the kids and the skaters. The W'hiting Hwh school basketball team is wearing some awful bumps as a result of a clash with fast Froebel of Gary.

OWLS IX FAST PACE. (Special to The Times.) WHITING. rXD- Dec. 19. The Whiting Owls are in mid-season swing and the famous club which has distinguished Lake county in Independent basketball will play the Armour Mission team Wednesday evening. On Friday the Owls play Hope College, inter-collegiate champions of Michigan. This team is to play the 1. A. C.. the following evening in Chicago, and the game at Whiting together with the results the following night will afford a good comparison. HERE'S A HAM.MO.VO FIVE. The Hudson brothers of Hammond have formed a basketball five and are co-operating with Director Wilson of the Community gymnasium in forming an association. -Director Wilson s desirous of getting- a Sunday school basketball league in Hammond and has lined up a number of the protestant churches. Meantime volley ball s a popular pastime at the gymnasium. EAST CHICAGO BMGIXS. Calumet Hltfh plays East Chicago High school In the latter city Friday evening, but that will be about the extent of inler-cfoool basketball until after the holidays unless games are scheduled in the meantime. The Hammond High school five had a game scheduled with Hdbart but the lattor haa no team and consequently can not play. Hammond :s seeking for a game with Valparaiso for Friday with small chance of geeting It. Gary schools do not enter into the Lake county compe-

The boys are there with the pep that have earned for them the distinction of being the one club that the Illinois Athletic Club is afraid of. Vater at center is going better than ever. Girard's fast and clever passes. Gevirtz" floor work', and Klnzel's basket shooting have set the fan wild with Joy. Eddie Bartuska at guard is playing a wonderful game, by far the best of his career. Springgate, the new member of the team is fast making his way in the hearts ot the fans by his clever blocking and untiring efforts. Captain Exton is still the wily player which has earned for him the reputation of being one of the best players in the game today.
