THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1913. M'CUE ID GET FIGHTS WITH LEADING STUDS Bv Ed W. Smith. C HICAGO, I LI,. May 24.—No more* slob fights for Ala tty McCue, Ra cine's sensation of the ring. Af ter the little fellow has finished out the engagements he has at the pres ent fim»\ which include a battle In Fond du Lac. Win., In Jack Brunk- hoist’s arena and one in Milwaukee ts Ithi Patsy Brannigan. the Eastern featherweight. John McC’ue, his man ager. is going to take on only the very best boys he can And as oppo nents of his protege. The veteran McOue is convinced that he has a champion in Matty and nobody is go ing to convince him otherwise until he sees the actual defeat of the lit tle fellow. Hence he is canvassing the situation for hoys that will be at once good drawing cards and at the same time fit opponents for a man of the McCue standard—as Judged not only in Racine, hut elsewhere. * • • JOHNNY DUNDEE, the young East J ern Italian who recently went twenty rounds to a draw with John ny Kllbane. featherweight champion, and therefore is regarded as having at least half of the title, If that will get him anything, Is adjudged by the elder McCue to be the best man in sight at the present time for his >tnt The machinery has been set In mo tion already and some deflnite # an nouncement may be expected almost any time now of the match having been clinched. McCue would be willing to let Dundee come In nt 124 poundp, the same as any of the rest of them, and as this Is an easy fig ure for the hardy New Yorker there would be no hitch over the match as far as the poundage is concerned. • • • PHARLKY WHITE, the sensational local boxer, who is neither a feather nor a light weight, but liable to be a thorn In the side of boys of either class, also is spoken of as a corking gobd test for McCue. And the McCue party Is not unwilling to listen to reason In the matter of weight. Recognizing that Charley would be a dandy draw with the Ra cine sensation the Wisconsin people are beginning to flirt with Nate Lewis regarding the proposed meeting. White is willing to make 12k pounds for Matty, which would not he much of a hardship • • • TACK RRUNKHoRST is sending a J young boxer named Johnny Sokol, who is well known up In the Lake Winnebago District, against the punching star and there Is a prospect ihat Johnny may do somewhat bet ter against the Racine terror than ditl Jeff O’Connell .and the remainder of them who have tried to worry hint lately. t’p In Fond du Lac they seem to like Sokol pretty well, for he has pul up some good contests! there, the flerc st of which was a ten-round draw with Gene Mi Gov ern that had everybody^ yelling like mail before it was over. Since that time Sokol has spent all of his time in the East and was especially ac tive in the neighborhood of Buffalo, where he whipped some of the best boys of his weight. * * • B RUNKHORST was at th«> Racine battle recently* and saw the Mc Cue threashing machine under a full head o/ 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 anil his hefty punch are 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 Brannigan ’hat MU* * waukee lias matched up with M< Cue is the veteran bantamweight of the East, now filled out until he finds himself up among the feathers. Pat sy had numerous turnup- with John ny Coulon and is one of those tricky old chaps with a ’ong. wise head and quite capable of ti i lbllng any of them for a little while at least. • • * Dl T after the Brannigan ma • h F* there will be nothing but bettei things for the Met'ue boy And the chances are most of his battling will be done in Racine ^21 K SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT The Man Was Struck, Allright, Allright Copyright. 1913, International News Service.

Coffey, taller and heavier than Flynn, started Flynn like a mad man and for nearly four rounds rained punches into Flynn’s face arid body that staggered him and drove 1 him back against the ropes. Just 1 when it looked like a sure knockout Flynn came to life. * * * L7 FORGE RODKL. the "Fighting * e» s slugged and pounded each other, each trying for a knockout. When the final gong lapped 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 fight."' of his career. * • • C KORGE RODKL. the ..Fighting ^ Boer," with Bob Fitzsimmons acting as his second, outs'.ugged Soldier Kearns, who wa>• seconded by Tom Sharkey, in the 10-round semi final. TRAVERS MEETS KAMMER IN METROPOLITAN EINALS NEW YORK. May 2 4. The final round for the Metropolitan golf championship title is on to-day between Jerome I>. Travers, the present champion, and Al fred I >. Kamrner on the Fox Hills golf course Travers/ by steady playing, has easily defeated every one so far opposed to him In the third round yesterday, playing against Chisolm Beach, Travers, after winning. 7-5, played out the bye holes and made a new amateur competitive record of 70 strokes for the course. Later Travers defeated < >swald Kirk- by, the New Jersey State champion, by 2 up in his semi-final match. $10,000 GUARANTEE FOR SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, May 24. —Tj n i 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 for a few months. WE DON’T HAVE ANY LUCK. Here for tlirei or four weeks we have been bearing with pa tierce and restraint the advance dope on toe mighty clash of those titans, Gun boat Smith and Jess Willard, sooth ing ourselves \vi*h the thought that this right would ne the finish of one of them. Instead of which both of them will now be going about the country in sisting on telling a lot of people who never did them any harm that all they want is another 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 rioi. 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 a very gloomy and cheerless I occasion. According to the referee Smith was ! the winner, but tlie consensus of i opinion among the experts at the 1 ringside was that a decision would be more difficult than picking the winner of a transcontinental auto j truck durability run. Also that llie latter event would b° much more ex- I citing. They feught the full distance of ; twenty rounds without a knock-down or a crucial moment. According to one or two reports Smith was in a little trouble in the fourteenth round and Willard bled somewhat from the mouth after a right-hand punch 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 interesting. and it ip easy to imag ine what this must have been like. * * * To the eftnqticrinfj her a stalka Thf fifjht expert amt paps and squawks.

THE REVIVAL OF WREST LING in New York will'not probably get very far. Something tells us that even New Yorkers, who are gluttons for punishment, will not rush upon this good old bunk in maddened thrpngs. • • • SIR THOMAS LIPTON SAYS that he is greatly pleased with the splendid sportsmanship of the New York Yacht Club, and yet there are a lot of people who say that the Irish haven’t a sense of humor. BRITANNIA WILL NEVER RULE the wave ms long as one rocking chair remains afloat in the racing commit tee loom. Tom Jones, manager of Jess Willard, is breaking his neck trying to get his protege a return match with Gunboat Smith. Jones has offered the Eastern heavyweight a guarantee of $10,000 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. • • • Jim Flynn, toughest of all heavy weights, will get into action Friday night. The Pueblo fireman will ex change wallops with Jim Coffev in a 10-round mill at Xew York and the fur should fly. This will probably be Flynn’s last fight before he meets Jim Savftge at the Auditorium here June 13. • • • Mike Saul will help train Flynn for the latter's set-to with Savage. Saul thinks that the experience gained by working n b Flynn will put him in great shape for his bout with Eddie Hanlon. * * • If Matt} McCue succeeds in defeat ing Patsy Brannigan at Milwaukee, Wis.. Monday night he is to get a match with Abe Attell. The ex-feather weight champion has agreed to meet the Racine sensation on June 5. * * * Arthur Pelkv will have the chance of his young life when he stacks up against Luther McCarty in a 10-round affair at Calgary, Alberta, Saturday night. Should Pelky succeed in besting Mc Carty or holding him even he will be come one of the greatest cards in the heavyweight division. * * * Tom O’Rourke wishes to challenge any lightweight on behalf of Billy Ben nett, tlie Irish lightweight champion. O'Rourke is particularly anxious to sign his boxer for a match with Willie Rit chie or Freddie Welsh. • • • Chicago fans are boosting Eddie *Mur phy as a contender for the lightweight championship. Murphy’s recent draw fight against Jack Britton has done much to put him hack in the good graces of the windy city fans Mur phy put up a great battle and was fighting Britton off his feet at the fin ish, according to reports from the bat tle ground. • * • Pittsburg fans are expecting a real scrap Saturday night when Eddie Mc- Goorty and Frank Klaus clash In a six- round bout. Klaus’ friends have made him an even money choice against the Oshkosh boy. * • • After the McGoorty affair Klaus will travel to Indianapolis where he Is hilled to take on Jack Dillon in a 10- round battle later in the month. • * * Nothing has been heard of lately from Tommy Murphy, the New York lightweight. Murphy is certainly en titled to much consideration when the Coast promoters pick an opponent for Willie Ritchie. Rivers Gets July 4 Date With Champion SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.—Joe Rivers is the lucky boy to get the July 4 date here with Champion Wil lie Ritchie. Following the announcement to-day by Promoter McCarey that he had been unable to induce Ritchie to meet the Spanish boxer at Vernon on In dependence Day and consequently he. McCarey, would release Rivers from his agreement to appear at Vernon on that date. Manager Joe Levy wired his acceptance of the terms offered by Eddie Graney, the San Francisco promoter. McCarey to-day received a tele gram from Nolan flatly refusing to fight at Vernon, and declaring that Ritchie would fight at San Francisco on the holiday dale and nowhere else. “If Ritchie does not box for Graney on July 4 we will accept a match in Victoria on Dominion Day, July 1.” wired Nolan. “A syndicate of very wealthy Britishers is seeking to pro mote a match between Ritchie and Freddie Welsh for that date.” W.-l.
