ibke cuius 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. “If It’s at Hartman’s, It’s Correct” Tog Up For Sunday Open ’Till 11 P. M.

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. BIG SWIM ON IN CHICAGO.

No pitchers of recent years in the big league, excepting Rube Marquard, have approached the records left by the old. timers. Marquard has equaled the best record, while Ed Reulbach, Cheabro and Mathewson have come the nearest to it. George Mullin in 1907 had a run of eleven straight victories, every game going the full route. Mullin’s work re ceived more newspaper notice, ten times, over, than did Keefe’s or Rad bourne's great work.

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. brownkeeneTatlantan, GOES TO “INDIAN” CLUB Brown Keene, Atlanta lad who started this season with the Pittsburg team and who was sent by Manager Fred Clarke to the Springfield team, of the Central league, has been sent to Indianapolis. Manager O'Day' of the Springfield team, has been given the place as manager of the Indianapolis team made vacant by the resignation of O’Leary, and when he went to Indianapolis he took Keene with him. Keene has been going so strong this season it is probable he will be recalled by the Pittsburg team at the end of the sea son.
