SENSATIONAL ALLEGATIONS AFTER WORLD WOMEN'S GAMES
TARLETON BEATEN
PLUCKY DISPLAY
AGAINST MILLER
IN TITLE BOUT
AMERICAN GROGGY AT ONE TIME
"SOUTHPAW" CAUSES BRITON MUCH ANXIETY
London, September 21. A very gallant British · ·boxing" champion, Nel Tarleton, of Liver- pool, fought himself to a state of complete exhaustion at Liverpool last night, in a splendid, but vain effort to win for Britain a world's title this country has never held.
When the end came, Tarleton's right eye was closed, the bridge of his nose was split and his eyes were glazed. That be
was on
his feet at the last bell was a tri- bute on his endurance and courage.
In the last round Miller fought furiously. Leaping at Tarleton with a two-handed at- tack, he battered the British boxer around the ring.
Possibly doubting whether he would get the decision-though there was no question that he had won--the American was deter- mined to win by a knock-out.
But Miller could not win by a knock-out, Tarleton kept on bla feet, despite a flurry of punches from the eager American.

THE
UNCHIVALROUS"
UNFOUNDED RUMOURS
London, September 21.
dark suspicions of Mr. B. C. Sims, the manager of the South African British Em- pire Games team, as to the sex of some of the competitors who took part in the Women's World Games at White City last month, are entirely groundless, according to opinion expressed yes- terday by officials of the athletic bodies controll- ing the games in this country. They were also described as unchivalrous.
According to a report cabled from Johannes burg, Mr. Sims, in reporting to the South African Olympic and British Empire Games Association, said that the class of persons representing for eign countries in the games was most peculiar, and he heard it remarked on all sides that they were not women.
"From personal observation," he added. "I must say that i agree with those opinions, as quite a number of the outstanding foreign athletes were shaved, hd very deep voices, and gave the impression of being of the masculine sex"
