ulob ftgAt* for Matty MrCue, R»
cine'* sensation of th* ring. Af
lor Iho little fellow has flniahod out
the engagement* he ha* at th* pres
ent tliriv. which Include h battle in
Fond du I^ac, Wis., in Jack Rrunk-
hofwt'e arena and one In Mtltvaiik^-
with Patsy Brannlgan the Eastern
featherweight John McOue, his man
ager la going to take on only the
very best boys he ran And as oppo
nents of his protege. The veteran
McCue is convinced that he has a
champion in Matty and nobody Is go
inpr to convince him otherwise until
he the actual defeat of the lit
tle fellou. Hence he is canvassing
the situation for boys that will be at
cnee good drawing cards and at the
samte time At opponents for a man of
the McCue standard as Judged not
onlv in Racine, but elsew'here.
• * •
J OHNNY DUNDEE, the young East
ern Italian who recently went
twertv rounds to a draw with John
ny Kilbane. featherweight champion
and therefore is regarded as having
at least half of the title, If that will
get him anything. 1s adjudged by th*
eider McCue to be the beat man in
sight at the present time for his star
The machinery has been set in mo
tion already and some definite an
nouncement may he expected almost
any time now of the match having
been clinched M-cFue would be
willing to let Dundee come in at 124
pounds, the same as any of the rest
of them, and as this Is an easy flg
ure for the hardy New Yorker there
would be no hitch over the match a?
far a« the poundage is concerned
* * •
C HARLEY WHITE, the sensation)!
local boxer, who is neither a ,
feather nor a light weight, but liab j
to be a thorn in the side of boys |
of either class also is spoken of a.*
a corking good test for McCue. And !
the McCue party is not unwilling to i
listen to reason In the matter of j
weight Recognizing that Charle\
would be a dandy draw, with the Ra 1
cine sensation the Wisconsin peopi *
are beginning to Airt with Nate Lew U
regarding the proposed meeting
White is willing to make 126 pourr
for Matty, which would not be mu
of a hardship.
• • •
J AFK BRFNKHORST is sending
young boxer named Johnny Soko
who is well known up in the Lak
Winnebago District. against tl
punching star and there is a prospei *
that Johnny may do somewhat bet
ter against the Racine terror than
did Jeff O'Connell and the rerilaindei*
of them who have tried to worry
him lately. Up in Fond du Lac they
seem to like Sokol pretty well, for
he has put up some good contests
there, the Aerc.-st ««f which was a
ten-round draw with Gene McGov
ern that had everybody yelling like
mad before It was over Since that
time Sokbl has spent all of his time
in the East and wag especially ac
tive in the neighborhood of Buffalo,
where he whipped some of the best
boys of his weight.
• • •
B RI’NKHORST was at the Racine
battle recently and saw the Mc
Cue throashing machine under a full
head of steam against Jeff O'Connell
Even in the face of that exhibit Jack
didn’t weaken and said afterward
that while McCue surely is one of
the real bearcats of the day that
Sokol and his hefty punch aro liable
to make Matty go to the very limit
in order to get the decision. Jack
has a good card on for his show,
having matched Freddie Andrews and
Sorenson, who fought Battling Nel
son a hard ten-round go recently, In
the semi-windup.
• • •
THE Patsy Brannlgan ♦hat Mil-
* waukee has matched up with Mc
Cue is the veteran bantamweight of
the East, now Ailed opt until he And*
himself up among the feathers. Pat-
ay had numerous turnups with John
ny Coulon and is one of th ^se tricky
oid chape with a long, wise head and
quite capable of troubling any of
them for a little while at '*aat.
• • •
B UT »ft*r the Brannlgan match

here to-day are clamoring* for
another matetr between Jim
Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, and Jim ;
Coffey, ibe ' Dublin giant." who en
gaged 1 avt night in one of the fiercest
and most thrilling heavyweight bouts j
ever seen in the city.
Coffey, taller and heavier than j
Flynn, started at Flynn like a mad- !
man and for nearly four rounds
rained punches into Flynn’s face and
body that staggered him and drove
him back against the ropes. Just :
when it looked like a sure knockout j
Flynn came to life.
* * *
P'EOfcCTE ROPKL, the WghtlnK
1 ers slugged J'and pounded eagh
other, each trying for a knockout.
When the final gong tapped the pop
ular decision went to Flynn, whose
wonderful fighting in the last few :
rounds was regarded as overshadow
ing that of Coffey’s in the earlier'
stages. Flynn put up one of the
greatest uphill figbts frf his career.

$10,000 GUARANTEE FOR SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24 -Tim
Jones, fight promoter, to-day offered
Gunboat Smith a guarantee of $10,000
for another battle with Jess Willard
next, month. The manager of Smith,
however, has. declared that he means
to give his protege a rest fay a few
months^

VVE DON’T hJAVE ANY LUCK.

mighty clash of those titans. Gun

now he going about the country in
sisting on telling a lot of people who
never did them any harm that all
they want is anolher chance to get
together with each other, with Lute
McCarty or with anybody else.
They will clamor for vindication,
and there doesn’t seem to be any way
to stop them, unless they can be
nailed for inciting a riot. Reports of
the stern encounter differ in every
thing but one point. All those pres
ent seem to be agreed on the fact that
it was i very gloomy and cheerless
occasion.
According to the referee Smith was
the winter, but the consensus of
opinion among the experts at the
ringside was that a decision would
"be more difficult than picking the
winner of a transcontinental auio
truck durability run. Also that the
latter event would be much more ex-
I citing.
They feught the full distance of
twenty rounds without a knock-down
or a crucial moment. According to
f one or two reports Smith was in
1 a little trouble in the fourteenth
round and Willard bled somewhat
r from ihe mouth after a right-hand
punc h had cut his machinery for tor
turing .-porting writers. That was all.
A twenty-round fight between high-
class men is frequently slow* and un

RINGSIDE NOTES
Tom Jones, manager of Jess Willard,
is breaking his neck trying to get bis
protege a return match with Qunboat
Smith. Jones has offered the Eastern
heavyweight a guarantee of $10,W)0 for
another bout, but Buckley has about
decided to give Smith a rest for two
months.
• * *
Most of the fans are of the opinion
that Willard would have a great chance
to defeat Smith in a return engagement.
They point to the fact that Willard
was making his first 20-round scrap
and that Jones was handling him for
the first time in a fight.
