MIDDLE TITLE;
KILL BET 55,000
CHICAGO, July 27. —Already pro
claiming him to be middleweight cham
pion of the world, Al Lippe, the New
York manager of Billy Papke, wires
that he is prepared to bet $5,000 on
the Kewanee man against any man in
the world at 158 pounds at the ring
side.
Lippe appears to be quite wild over
the chance for the Illinois man to come
back into his own in the middleweight
division and says that it is an absolute
certainty that Papke will regain the
title he held once for about 30 days
during the whirlwind campaign on
Stanley Ketchel.
Papke Is a Sure Come-Back.
Al took Papke to France during the
past two months and had an interest
ing and fairly lucrative trip with Wil
liam. who did so well over there in a
quick and clean defeat of Marcel Mo
reau that the Frenchmen are eager to
see him perform again, and want most
of all to see him in action against their
own beloved Georges Carpentier.
And in the meantime the fighter from
the boiler town is getting plenty' of
good offers to do battle in his own
land. Billy lost a lot of prestige in
America because of the indifferent
showing he made against Bob Moha
and Frank Mantell, but now that he
has demonstrated that he can come
back by his work in foreign rings he
has attracted the attention of the
matchmakers in the East and also in
the far West.
Trying to Snare Gibbons.
Lippe has been trying to induce Mike
Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom, to
transact some business and accept one
or two of the offers that are being made
in New York for a ten-round contest
with Billy, but it appears that Mike is
too coy to be caught in the Lippe-
Papke net and is declining point blank
to consider the matter.
Inasmuch as Mike has cleaned 'em
all up in the welterweight division and
can not expect to earn another penny
out of that class he must naturally
look to the class above for the good
things in the future. And further the
genial Michael can not expect very
easy picking among the gents of the
158-pound squad. More than one fight
er has remarked time and again that
there isn’t such a thing as nr. easy
mark In the American ring : .1 I be
lieve that statement to be more or
less true. At least it may be said that
every one of the middleweights of the
present day is a tough customer.

Held tried nearly every company in

YANKEES SELL STREET
TO PROVIDENCE CLUB
NEW YORK. July 27.—Gabby Street
has been relegated to the minor league
by the Yankees. Manager Wolverton
sold the noted catcher, who a few years
ago was rated as the best maskman in
the American league, to the Providence
club of the International league.
Street came to the Yankees early last
spring in a trade for Jack Knight, and
at that time it was figured would be a
great help to the team. Street, how
ever, had great difficulty in getting into
form, and it became apparent that he
had seen his best days in the big
leagues. He has been of little service
to the Yankees, but will undoubtedly
greatly strengthen the Providence team.
Street has the distinction of being one
of the only two men who performed
the feat of catching a ball dropped
from the Washington monument.

JOHNSON WANTS
TDBACKBARBY
AGAINSTPALTER
CHICAGO, July 27.—’Twas ever the
scheme of champions to back this man
or that one against a dangerous looking
opponent, always hoping that chance
might serve to overthrow said dangerous
looking opponent.
And J. Johnson, present champion of
the world, is not unlike those that have
gone before him on the throne. Several
times now he has picked out likely look
ing white men and tossed them into the
ring with his backing.
It is said that Johnson’s protege is Jim
Barry, the savage young Chicagoan, who
recently returned home from Australia
after a heavy campaign in the rings
around New South Wales.
Barry Has Jack’s O. K.
Barry is authority for the storv that he
has Johnson's O. K. and that the cham
pion is willing to back him heavily against
Al Palzer, the big lowa man who stands
out sharply now among the new white
boxers who have sprung up in the last
few months.
Further, it is claimed that Johnson has
wired to New York that he is willing to
wager SI,OOO that Barry can best Palzer
in a ten-round battle, and further will
wager SI,OOO against $2,500 that Barry
stops the lowa man inside of the time
limit.
Severe Test for Palzer.
This is a bold bld for attention, but it
is doubtful whether the wily T. O'Rourke,
who still is handling the affairs of Palzer,
will be attracted by it. The battle surely
would serve to place Falser in his proper
niche in the sporting game at the present
time. Barry is a trial horse of undoubt
ed strength, and if Albert can clean him
up In nice fashion the fight fans would
know exactly how good he is.
Palzer s a great man, though; there Is
little doubt of that, tus his sterling game
ness and stamina in the Wells match in
dicated, but a victory over the rugged
and desperately rough Barry would help
him out a whole lot. Palzer needs more
seasoning before he can possibly hope to
be ready for the Johnson batteries, and a
contest with Barry would furnish a whola
lot of It.
