Bv LOUIS II. JAFFE
SOME wise man many, many ycara ago
Mld "History repents Ituelf." and ho
-K a whole mouthful. Ever sine Na
rtton mt his Waterloo others have cot
Wed .ln.t a similar ana, and Fred
Welsh's Waterloo was Denny Leonard. Had
Hot rained on the eve of Juno 17. 1.16.
th, history of Europe would havo been
thuiKd. was a statement made by the late
Vfctor Hugo In telling of the battle of
Waterloo. Had It not been for the hefty
wallops of Benny. Leonard. Mel Coogan, a
Brooklyn lightweight, would havo been the
lightweight champion of the world.
Not that Coogan and Leonard have met
in the squared circle for the title last week
relinquished by Fred Welsh. The Brooklyn
lad was to havo annexed the crown In a
jar easier manner. Or at leasl such Is the
story handed us by a friend from thd town
across the bridge from the big pur. Harry
rillok's contract with Welsh was to finish
In July, and on the Glorious Fourth of this
rear Handsome Har y had It all framed
to make Mel Coogan tho world's lightweight
lok that weisn s u" "" , ' r
borgan, and that his boxing 'finis 'was a.
mere matter of days. So to keep the old
title In the family, as it were. Managor
Harry and Boxer Freddy had it all cut and
dried to make young Mr. Coogan a present
of the crown with Pollok as manager and
Welsh as trainer.
Putting on the O. O.
Of course, the Messrs. Pollok and Welsh
did not pick on tho best boxer In the world
on whom to force the lightweight laurels,
but they did as well as could be expected,
tn giving the lightweight field tho once
oer. all tho regular boxers were tied up
with managers from whom they couldn't
tery well or cared to break away.
Johnny Dundee, Benny Leonard. Charley
White and the balance of tho top-notchers
bad their advisors. Therefore, Tollok had
to find someone not in captivity, and, nt
the same time, fairly competent to bo
heralded as the lightweight champion of
the world.
Our Brooklyn pal will finish telling tho
itory of how Mel Coogan happened to be
"tabbed" of a championship:
In Brooklyn town there lived u boy who
utlsfactorjly answered the bill. He was a
hardhitting, fairly clever youngster, who
had more or less of a good reputation.
Like; the well-known prophet, ho was better
known out of town than near his own lire
aide. As he had never been managed by a
member of the clique that controls the big
circuit of boxing, Mel Coogan had aever
really broken into tho limelight.
Began Boosting Coogan
Such was the boy that Pollok picked out
to-be the next lightweight champion of the
world. He first took Coogan under his man
(gement and then sent out to tho press
flattering notices of his latest boxer. A few
fell for the stuff and Pollok saw tho way
opening to still manage the lightweight
ehamplon when Welsh retired to become a
country gentleman in New Jersey.
Welsh planned to retire In July. At
stout that time his physical culture farm
would be ready to receive paid guests. Tho
former champion Is a mighty shrewd busi
ness man and he was going to get "his bit"
for coming out before the world and say
big the Flatbush boy was the best light
weight In captivity and should be crowned
king of them all.
Not that Welsh would have exactly be
lieved the statement I'pon moro than one
occasion the country gentleman, of Sum
"lit, N, J., has said that Benny Leonard
was the best boy in the country. Still what
, one says In private nnd what ono says In
business are two distinct things. If It
comes to a showdown, Welsh probably
would have been willing to turn tho title
over to Battling Keefe, who claims the
Mntam, light, welter, middle and heavy
elght crowns.
Welsh Had a Precedent

BROOKLYN WANTS
WASHINGTON CLUB
American League Franchise
May Be Transferred,
Big Baseball Rumor
OFFICIALS TO DECIDE
WASHINGTON, June 4. Despite em
phatic denials from local club officials. It
was declared on reliable authority hero to
day that American and National League
club odlclals shortly will confer on the
matter of transferring the Washington
American League Club franchise to some
other city
lialtlmore was much talked of In this
connection a week ago, but. It Is said,
Brooklyn may get Washington's franchise.
Ilcfore this change could be made, how
ever, consent ot all National League clubs
would havo to be secured, therefore the
coming conference of National and Ameri
can officials.
Charlie ISbbets, tho Dodger owner. It Is
believed, might consent, provided some ar
rangement could be made whereby he
would get a big fat rental for his Brooklyn
grounds while his Robins aro on parade
The Washlngtons have drawn oven more
poorly than usual this yoar. The average
dally attendance Is known to have been
very low. Last year It was far from gratl.
fylng. Even tho once-great Walter John
son falls to pull the crowds he used to
here.
Local cfub officials insist they know
nothing of any movement to send the team
away from here, but It Is said that, after
nil, Han Johnson Is the one who will make
tho decision, once he becomes convinced
he could strengthen the league by putting
the franchise somewhere else.
Some here point, out that one line of
strength the league would get in putting
the Washington club ln Brooklyn would
be the returns from a possible post-season
rerles between the Yanks and a Brooklyn
American club.

By virtue of receiving nine points through
the default of the 1'lymouth country Club
on Saturday, while tho Cynwyd team lost
one of the nine points In their match with
the Ilelfield "B" team, the (icrmantown
team gnlncd one point on the league leaders.
Tho Cynwyd team still cnjrs a somewhat
comfortable lead of five full points, however.
Howard Baker, ot the Bclficld team, de
t.ervcs tho thanks of the Manhelm aggre
gation, for It was due to his fine play in
defeating T. C. Leonards, tho Cynwyd star,
that Germantown was enabled to pull up on
tho leaders. Ability to handle Leonard's
high-breaking service, in the doing of which
he converted many of the returns Into per
fect passing shots, wns the dominant feature
of the Belfield player's w:n. A. L, Reed, of
the Wlster team, put up a fine contest In
which his Cynwyd opponent had only a
shade of advantage at the end of a long
three-set match.
Bclficld Players Show Well
Styles nnd Bhoades also made a brilliant
showing for Belfield In the first doubles,
coming within n fraction of defeating
Leonards and Kllason, from whom they
won the flrst set and, the they lost the
second after a close struggle, they held on
gamely ln the third set. ut one time leading
at 5-4. The Cynwyd pair bored In at this
stage and overcame the opposition by win
ning three sequence games for tho set and
match.
The match between Wilmington and
Sprlnghaven on the courts of tho former
was nip and tuck throughout, Sprlnghaven
finally emerging with one point advantage,
tho match Bcore being 5-4. DeCaxenove,
Thomas and Coy, for Wilmington, scored
victories over Lloyd Irving. James Irving
and Keaher, respectively, nnd Wilcox, Cope
land and Taney by winning from Harris,
Lawton and Johnson evened the singles re
sults at three each. When DeCnzenove and
Leo won the flrst doubles for Wilmington.
It put their team ono point to tne good, but
Sprlnghaven came througn with a strong
finish by winning the remaining two doubles
matches and thereby earned the odd point
Grcenpoint Suburban Stars
In the Suburban League the Greennolnt
Grenadiers took another line of trenches, the
U. ot P. team being forced to yield all
along their nine point front. As the Bel
field team dropped an unexpected point to
the P. and It team, the Wlsterltes lost
ground In their efforts to close up on th
leaders. Dr. Bready was the stumbling
block to Belfleld's attempt to clean up, his
victim being Caleb Cope.
The American Bridge team allowed Ard
more only one of the nine points ln their
match, and ns a result moved up Into fourth
place In the club standing H. Hoffman was
tho Main Line team's sole wlnnr.
