APIiUASANT Rurprlsa was sprung upon
Jack McQtilgan'fl guests nt tho Na
tional Saturday night whop Franklo Mc
Atnmis outpointed tho famous Billy De

A week hro Billy Do Foo mingled with
Eddlo Morgan nnd put up n sensational
battlo. Ho Rnvo Morgan a beautiful lacing
and afterward was hailed ns tho wonder
of tho nge. Ho wns Riven a return dnto
and JrcMnnurf wns selected ns an oppo
nent. Franklo wns expected to make a
good showing for n few rounds, but even
his most nrdent admirers, could not see
where ho possibly could win. Hut the
grandoldopo again wns shot to pieces and
tho former Boston boy put up tho best
battlo of his career.
Franklo had Ic Foe In bad shape In tho
second round, but was unablo to finish
him. Ho raised a lump over tho visitor's
eyo and had him bleeding from tho noso
nnd mouth and forced him to hang on to
escape punishment. Billy stalled through
tho third nnd fourth rounds nnd McMnnus
piled up a big lead. In tho fifth, howovcr,
Do Foo landed several hard body punches
which had Franklo making faces nnd pull
ing away. This was Do Foo's best round,
but McMnnus was In no worso shapo than
ho was In tho second,
McMnnus Due Credit
Now that McMnnus has trimmed De
Foo. will ho bo hailed as tho wonder of
tho ago? Ho will NOT. Franklo Is only
a local boy and tho boxing public has
scon him so often that It Is well ncnualnt
od with his stylo of work. Instead of
praising Franklo for his good showing

Today two Boston clubs nre Bualn
favored, nrd this tlmo Stalllngs has for

gamo to bar such a contingency, and
Welsh has already shown thnt he Isn't go

for somo time. He has been stalling for
the greater part of two years now In 10
round. no-dccislon bouts IhM Is, taking
no risk whalcer. And the humor of It
Is that many people will atltl pay tn sea
him In these affairs, drawn by the lure of
his tltlo, when thero are nt least two light
weights who could knock him out In 20
rounds Benny Leonard and Charlie
White. B.INGSIDB.
