S AX FRANCISCO, May 17.—The ,
things most talked about in
connection with the coming
heavyweight contest are .less VVil- i
lard’s size and Gunboat Smith’s
knockout punch. Size is Willard's,
.main characteristic, while the “wal- !
h»p” is what Smith is known by. Wil- I
lard’s size is, <>f course, something ,
definite, while the wallop is largely
:v menace, but it is agreed on ail :
sides that if the two collide and size j
is subdued by the punch Gunboat
"ill be hailed as a second giant klF-
ler.
.You have to look the fellow Wil
lard ov<jr carefully to grasp how big
he is. When he stepped on the I
scales at Seal Rock House a few
days ago he weighed 233 pounds in i
the nude. Ad Wolgast who was |
present, and whose eyes through con
stant training are inclined to focus
on the 133 notch, remarked: ‘‘He’s a
hundred pounds over weight.”
234 Pounds of Fighting Brawn.
Just imagine 234 pounds of fight
ing brawn, for that’s what it is. Jess
is flatstomaehed and has well-turned
legs and broad shoulders. He is as
symmetrically built a ring athlete
as anyone would wish to see, and in 1
this respect he differs from other sky
scrapers, who have infested the fight- j
ing platform from time to time.
He stands si^c feet five Inches, and '
his disposition to tower caused an
amusing incident at his quarters a
few days ago. .less lay. on his back
on the floor, going through certain
extension motions. An assistant held i
his feet down while he rose to a sit
ting posture several times. Then the
assistant changed off to the other
end of the giant and anchored the
shoulders while Jess flourished his
shaftlike legs in the air.
“My gracious.” said a visitor, “he’s j
so long he has to exercise in sec- ;
tions.”
A Difference of Fifty Pounds.
There is a difference of fifty pounds j
In the, weight of Willard and Smith. (
and this surely is a big handicap to
overcome. The disparity seems
strange in view of the manner in
which the boxers in other classes
split hairs over a few ounces, but it
is a fact nevertheless.
Jim Buckley, manager of Gunboat
is inclined to be jocular over Wil
lard’s size. Jim is a believer in the
old slogan: “The bigger they are
the harder they fall.” But Jim would
feel surer of his ground were it not
for the manner in which Willard out-
hoxed the present white champion of
the world. Luther McCarty, last Au
gust in New York.

KARTYE THROWS I RSLINGER.
OGDEN. T'TAH. May 17.—Ernest Kar-
tye. of Chicago,last night defeated Henry
Irslinger, German middleweight wres
tler of Europe, in two straight falls.
^rN rematchiug Joe Thomas and Charlie White.” said promoter I>. J.
I Toitorich. of the Orleans Club of New Orleans, in a recent interview,
* ‘*1 have only submitted to public sentiment. While I knew that the
match was one of the l»esf I could have signed up. and while I earnestly
thought that Thomas deserved another chance, it was the great demand
which -the fans made for a return bout that prompted me to briitg the boys
together again. Their previous scrap was one of the most sensational s<*en
in New Orleans, not even excepting the Cross-Mandot fight.
‘ When the fans saw Joe Thomas go down eight times in the second
round, keep getting up until the bell rang and then go through seven more
rounds of the most gruelling battle.seen here In many years, they decided
then that such remarkable gameness and fighting spirit deserved another
chance. Thomas wanted it. So did Ms manager. Joe Golden. White and
his manager said Thomas deserved another bout, and so there was nothing
else for me to do.”
Thomas has been working out at
the Orleans Club arena for the past
three days. He eoes through ten
rounds of shadow boxing, does a lot
of bag punching, rope skipping and
boxing every day now. and will prob
ably increase his boxing soon to six
rounds.
Joe Thomas says he is going to
win back all his lost prestige in this
scrap, and he knows that the only
way to do it is to defeat the boy
who stopped him. Joe contends that
White should have been able to put
him down lor the count, he being
in the condition which he was. “If
I get him like that.” said Joe. “I am
going to think it mighty strange if
he keeps on his feet. I cannot but
believe that White got over a lucky
punch and I am hoping that nothing
like that ever happens to nhe again.
In saying this, i do not mean to be
little White at all. for I am sure he
is a great boxer and will show even
more than he did in our last fight,
his hand having been hurt and there
being so little call for any scientific
boxing.”
Late dispatcher from Chicago say
that White is hard at work there.
White is so confident of winning that
both he and his manager admit that
it is the money they are getting out
of it that makes them accept another
bout. The Chicago scrapper is con
fident he will repeat, and $ays he
will compel Thomas to listen to the
count of ten this time. White
claims that his hurt right hand kept
him from putting Thomas out wi the
fim bout, but that the hand is as
good as ever now and he will be
able to put over the winning punch
with it instead of with his left.
TTMPIRE Rill Brennen. of the Na-
tional League staff, is a dyed-in-
the-wool fight fan. and has a bunch
of good stories gathered around the
circuit.
Bill hails from St. Paul, the home
of Mike Gibbons, the sensational
middleweight. Gibbons, being Irish,
naturally aroused sentiment in his
favor among the boys who keep tab
on St. Patrick’s Day and the cham
pions who wear the green.
Feeling ran so high last winter in
St. Paul that two tads got their
blood up and agreed to meet in a
finish fight. It was dark, when the
ring was pitched, and Pat. being a
gCeat favorite everybody wanted to
go behind him in his corner.
By some hook or crook one of
Pat’s seconds mistook his antagon
ist’s corner for that of Pat and he
kept shouting words of encourage
ment to beat the band.
"Knock his block off.” said he “May
the devil take him.” He kept this
up until suddenly he realized that lie
was behind the wrong man. Then
he (*ried:
“Go long wid ye; you’re no fighter;
I kin whip ye meself.” Pat’s oppo
nent could stand no such talk, and
walloped the excited second on the
jaw. knocking him out. When he
came to the fight was over and the
crowd on its way home. At a late
hour fhe jnisguided handler arrived
in town He would not admit that
it was Pat’s enemy who had whipped
him. ami, going over to Pat. whis
pered in his ear. ‘Phat in the wuriu
did I do to offend JohiwQ.. Sullivan
that he should hit me. I didn’t even
know- he was in the crowd.”

O SCE upon a Sunday dreary while

Over quaint and curious volumes of
good old baseball lore:
While 7 nodded, nearly napping, sud
denly there came a tapping.
As of some one gently rapping, rap

’Tis hut another shower. I muttered,
as the raindrops splashed and
spluttered.
Game's ratted off and nothing more.
Apologies to the late Ed Poe
* a e
T HOSE who dote on “inside base-
■ ball” will do well to observe Ulark
Griffith, manager of the Washington
Club. Griff has a signal for every
thing. The kicking signal” is the
latest. Whenever a pitcher begins
to wabble, the Fox squats i*n front
of the Washington bench and wig
wags by opening and closing his
hand. This is a tip to George Mc
Bride and Morgan to rush in and
protest the way the umpire calls bails
and strikes. They converse with the
pitcher en route, same being intend
ed to assist 'him in getting his feet
on the earth again. Griff has work
ed the kicking signal” repeatedly of
late.

Coulon Is “In”~Kilbane Says So
© O © © Q O 0
Feather Champion Gets a Match
By H. M. Walker
L OS ANGELES. May 17.- What
one world’s champion said of
another:
“I’ll tell you why Jphnnie Coulon
won’t fight any more. He realizes 1 that
he is all ‘in’—and he’s deathly afraid of
being beaten out of the bantam
weight championship.”
So said little Johnnie Kilbane. the
featherweight title holder, as we sat
in a box at the baseball park last
Friday afternoon.
“Coulon and 1 traveled with the
same show for several weeks Just be
fore I came to the coast. He laid
awake nighis fretting about his con
dition. He knows that be is on the
down grade and it’s worrying him to
death. I don’t believe he will ever
take a chance against either Wil
liams or Campi.”
The Coulon of two years ago would
have toyed with boys like 4*ampi.
Williams and Ledoux. The Coulon of
to-day should step into the open and
either make a final fight in defense
of the title or announce, his retire
ment. A world’s championship
doesn’t look well in pickle.
* * •
N O body punch ever hurt Kilbane
more than the announcement that
“i nk” Tom McCarey had matched
'Ad Wolgast and Johnnie Dundee for
a scheduled twenty-round bout at
Vernon on June 10.
This was tipping the fact that the
promoter w r as washing his hands of a
return meeting between Kilbane and
Dundee. Also it showed that of the
two McCarey considered Dundee the
best card.
The remarkable situation, a cham
pion being hold to a draw with abso
lutely no demand for a return match,
is easily explained. Tbe critical Cali
fornia public* refuses to enthuse over
a boxer utterly lacking in aggressive
ness and a decision punch. Frothy
cleverness of the slap, run and squirm
style cannot be cashed.
A> for personal popularity,
better liked men than th<
no two
the clean-
living Kilbane and his honest helper.
Jimmie Dunn, ever visited the sou
thern rim of the coast.
In the north a new featherweight
star has developed. His name is
Jimmie Fox. Kilbane has signed to
box tins boy before the Wheelmen's
club in Oakland on the night of June
4. The bout is for ten rounds, a fav
orite route with the champion.
A great crowd of the San Fran
cisco sports will cross the bay for
a first look at Attell's successor. If
Kilbane will cut loose and dispose
of Fox inside the limit he will find
himself a big card in that city.
They will want to see more of
Johnnie and this fact will hVing Dun
dee to the front as the only rival the
title holder has in America Here’s
your chance. Johnnie boy. throw out
the tango teasing and show “ the
punch.”

iipHEROKEE” TOM JONES faces
'*-' the opportunity to set a world's
record as a “come back” manager of
boxers.
Up to the present Tom and “Billy”
Nolan have made an even break of
it.
Nolan's coin collecting pace as
manager of tlie lightweight cham
pion. Battling Nelson, was one never
to be forgotten. He was out of the
game a few years, but “came back”
in time to land Willie Ritchie as
champion.
Jones handled Billy Papke as the
middleweight title holder. Jj&ter he
grabbed Ad Wolgast and sent him
through to the lightweight champion
ship as well as a fortune of over
$200,000.
Tom is now managing Jess Wil
lard. who boxes “Gunboat” Smith in
San Francisco on May 20. with the
promise of a chance at Luther Mo-
White City Park Now Open
t arty. Victories over Smith and Mc
Carty would give Willard the heavy
weight glory chair and establish Jones
as a three-time winner.
* * *
I OS ANGELES betters have two
difficult problems to solve.
But for Joe Mandot’s defeat at the
hands of Leach Cross the New Or
leans lightweight would reign a heavy
favorite over “Bud” Anderson when
the pair meet in the Vernon arena
Tuesday or Saturday.
But it has been shown that a chin
jolt affects Mandot the same as any
ordinary boxer and. recalling Ander
son's ability to whip over a short
knockout blow in the clinches, the
sharpshooters are doing some tall fig
uring.
In the matter of ring generalship,
clverness and greater experience, all
is in favor of Mandot. It is Ander
son's short-arm silencer that, so far.
has kept the Oregon boy on even
terms with his Southern ring mate.

NEW YORK. May 17. Mike Don-
line arrived in town yesterday, after
a long vaudeville tour. He looked
very fit and said that he had been
playing ball in his leisure moments.
“I think I could help the Giants in
the outfield," said Michael with a con
fident smile, “for I certainly can hit
•the ball and I'm not as slow as some
people think. If McGraw wants me
he can pay the Philadelphia Club
$1,500 for my release. If not. I’ll
look for a job somewhere else. But
I’d like to wear a Giant uniform once
more.”

Redmond, of Milwaukee, in a twelve-
round bout here last night.

up fairly well, but tbe second found
Welsh bad his man all but out. Welsh
cut himself loose in the third and fol

Redmond's only hope was in clinching.
Redmond pul up a game fight, but bis
