J OHNNY DUNDEE, the young East
pm Italian who recently went
twenty rounds to a draw with John
ny Kflbane, featherweight champion,
and therefore is regarded as having
at least half of the title, if that will
get him anything, is adjudged by tin*
elder McCue to be the best 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 be expected almost
any time now of the match having
been clinched. McOue 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 fig
ure for the hardy New Yorker there
would be no hitch over the match as
far as the poundage is concerned.
B RUNKHORST was at the Racine
battle recently and saw the Me
Cue threashlng machine under a full
head of steam against Jeff OVonnell
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 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 ami
Sorenson, who fought Rattling Nel
son a hard ten-round go recently. In
the semi-windup.

C HIU AGO. ILL., May 24.—No more
slob fights for Matty McCue, Ra
cine’s sensation of the ring. Af
ter the little fellow has finished out
the engagements he has at the pres
ent tim**, which Include a battle in
Fond du Lac, Win., in Jack Brunk-
horst's arena and one in Milwaukee
with Patsy Rrannigan, the Eastern
featherweight. John McCue, his man
ager. is going to take on only the
very best boys he can find as oppo
nents of his protege. The veteran
McCue Is convinced that he has a
champion in Matty and nobody is g'>-
ing to convince him otherwise until
he sees the actual defeat of the lit
tle fellow. Hence he is canvassing
the situation for boys 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, but elsewhere.

N OW YORK. May 24.—Fight fans
here to-day are clamoring for
another match between Jim
Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, and Jim
Coffey, the “Dublin giant," who en
gaged la‘-•t night in one of the fiercest
and most thrilling heavyweight bouts
ever seen in the city.
Coffey, taller and heavier than
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 hack against the ropes. Just
when it looked like a sure knockout
Flynn came to life
C'EO.RGE RODEL. the “Fighting
* ers slugged and pounded each
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 fights* of his career.

WE DON’T HAVE ANY LUCK.
Here for three or four weeks we
have been bearing with patlep.ee and
restraint the advance dope on tne
mighty clash of those titans, Gun
boat Smith and Jess Willard, sooth
ing ourselves with the thought that
this fight would oe the finish of one
of them.
Instead of which both of then) 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 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 a very gloomy and cheerless
occasion.
According to the referee Smith was
the winner, 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 auto
truck durability run. Also that the
latter event would t>° much nfore ex
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 hied somewhat
from tlm mouth after a right-hand
punch had cut his machinery for tor
turing ^porting writers. That was all.
A twenty-round fighl between high-
class men is frequently slow and un
interesting. and it is easy to imag
ine what this mus. have been like.

RINGSIDE NOTES
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 F’ueblo fireman will ex
change wallops with Jim Coffey in a
10-round mill at New York and the fur
should fly. This will probably be
Flynn’s last fight before he meets Jim
Savage 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 with Flynn will put him in
great shape for his bout with Fkidie
Hanlon.
If Matty McCue succeeds in defeat
ing Patsy Brannigan at Milw-aukee,
Wis.. Monday night he is to get a
mate*) with Abe At tell. The ex-feather
weight champion has agreed to meet
the Racine sensation on June 5.
Arthur IVlkv will have the chance of
his v oung life when he stacks up against
Luther McCartv 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, the 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 back 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’ fr.ends have made
him an even money choice against the
Oshkosh boy.
After the McGoorty affair Klaus
will travel to Indianapolis where he is
billed 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

SAX FRANCISCO, May 24.—Jos
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 date 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 Noian. “A syndicate of very
wealthy Britishers Is seeking to pro
mote a match between Ritchie and
Freddie Welsh for that date.”
