ONCE again th* Gate City Is trying to bunk the fight fans of Atlanta. Frank Whitney Is cchvdulpri to meet I.eo Kelly there tonight. Whitney is a top notcher. while Ke'ly is a third rater, or. at least, that Is what they think of him out In St. Fouls. Never having beard of Kelly, the writer last night wired Harry Nelly, sporting editor of The St. "Louis Times, asking what the Mount City fans think of Kelly, for it is in that city on th* banks of the Mississippi that he has don* all of his fighting. Here is Neily’s reply: St. Louis, Mo., June 24. 1912. W, S, Farnsworth, The Georgian. Atlanta, Ga. Leo Kelly never beat anybody of importance; nice boy personally; clean boxer, but without a wallop. Slipping you bunk in stating he beat Trendall. Trendall gave him terrific lacing in eight rounds a few months back, Trendall beat Kelly with one hand tied, Kelly's most important matches—two de cisions over Harry Donahue, Peo ria, III.; draw. Kid Farrne l "; knocked out Adolph Eaton; lost foul. Eaton; beat Kid Graves. Cleveland, ten rounds, Kelly will beat a third rater. but nobody of any class, HARRY NEILY. * * ♦ RESPITE the fact that Trendall handed Kelly a walloping, the Gate City club’s press agents have been printing stories that Kelly de feated Trendall. They have been telling about Kelly’s terrible wal lop and according to Neily. ona of the best fight experts in the mid dle West, can't break an elec tric bulb. |news from ringside ■ -Joe Jeannette is scheduled to go twelve I rounds with Sandy Ferguson tn Boston tomorrow night « • • Jeannette has also signed articles for a six-round bout with Kid Cotton in Pitts burg either July 6 or 9. • • » Tommy Murphy arrived on rhe coast re cently and started preparing for ht« fight with Abe Attell. Murphy will train in < lakland. • * • Fighters have different methods of try ing to frighten their opponents before the gong clangs. Ad VVolgast doesn't sit in his corner and scowl at his opponent as many fighters do. His way is simple—he just goes ahead and signs up for several bouts to be staged after the fight as though the match he is going to fight first was only a sparring tryout. • • • The San Francisco Examiner says Joe Rivers has seen his fight with VVolgast in I a dream. The Mexican says if was not a Hine-sided tight; that, in fact, he was floured several ’imes. However, little Joe says along about the twelfth round he slipped the sleep punch over on the champion. • ♦ ♦ The earl' betting on the Johnson-Flynn j figh’ makes the champion a 10 to 4 favor j ite Tai Brown is the lad secured to tight Battling Nelson in Winnipeg. Canada. July I. The fighters have not signed articles for the. bout yet, but the match is almost a certainty. Rrown recently whipped Ray Temple at Hibbing. Minn., and all but knocked out the Southerner. • • « K. O. Rrown is scheduled tn box ten munds with Jimmy Duff' in Buffalo on July 3. Rrown will receive SBOO as his share of the prize, with a privilege of taking *3O per cent. Pretty good for K. O. « • • Phil Brock eliminated Timmx Kilbane from the lightweight ranks the other night when be knocked him out in the sixth round of a scheduled ten-round bout. • • • Rob Moha lost a good chance for ad vancement as well as a good chance to nick up some com when he failed to post a forfeit and lost a return match with KELLY may not get an opportu nity to display his wares tonight, for chances are even that Whitney won't fight him Not that Frank Is afraid of his opponent, for Frank doesn’t fear any man of his weight. But. knowing that the Gate City club is on its last legs he intends to see to it that his guarantee I# posted in the hands of a reputable person. And this money must, be posted before Whitney climbs into the ring. He doesn’t want to disap point the fans at the last minute by refusing to box. So we wish to announce that chances are even that he will not perform this even ing. Frank, realizing that Kelly is no drawing i aid. insisted on a guaran tee He knows that Kelly is noth ing but a third-rater, and It looks as though h* put one over on the Gate City club. • » ♦ \ I 7 HY didn't th* club match Tom * my O’Keefe with Whitney?
