FIGHTS Dll TO
LEADING 5T1S
By Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO, ILL.. May 24.—No more
slob tiKilts 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 time, which include a battle in
Fond du Lac, Ww. in Jack Rrnnk-
horst’s arena ami one in Milwaukee
with Patsy Brannigan. the Eastern
featherweight. John McCue, his man
ager. is going to take on only the
very best boys h* can find as oppo
nents of his protege. The veteran
McCue 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. Hom e ho is Qftiivoaainf
the situation for boys that will be at
cnee 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
* • •
JOHNNY DUNDEE, the young East
J ern Italian vs ho recently went
twenty rounds to a draw with John
ny Kilbane, featherweight champion,
and therefore is regarded as having
at least half of the title. If that H
get him anything. Is adjudged by tfi
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 he expected almost
any time now of the match having
been clinched McCue would be
willing to let Dundee come In at 1-4
pounds, the same as any of the rest
of them, and as this is an easv fig
ure for the hardy New Yorker there
would he no hitch over the match as
far as the poundage is concerned.
• • * *
/""HARLEY 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 good test for McCue. And
the McCue party is not unwilling to
listen to reason" In the matter of
weight. Recognizing that Charley
would he 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 126 pounds
for Matty, which would not be much
of a hardship.
• • •
JACK BRUNKHORST 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
that Johnny may do somewhat bet
ter against the Racine terror than
did Jeff O’Connell and the remainder
of them who have tried to worry
film lately. Up In Fond du Lac they
seem to like Sokol pretty well, for
he bus put up some good contests
there, the flerc *st of which was a
ten-round draw with Gene McGov
ern that had everybody yelling like
mad 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.
* • •
DRUNK HORST was at the Racine
battle recently and saw the Mc
Cue threashing 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 are liable
to make Matty go to the very limit
in order to get the decision. Jack
has a good cart! on for his show,
having matched Freddie Andrews and
Sorenson, who fought Rattling Nel
son a hard ten-round go recently, In
the semi-windup.
THK Patsv Brtnnigan *hat Mil
* waukee has matched up with Me
Cue is the veteran bantamweight <>f
the East, now filled out until he finds
himself up among the feathers. Pat
®y had numerous turnup- with John
ny Coulon and is one of those tricky
old chaps with a long, wise head and
quite capable of troubling any of
them for a littL* while at least.
* * •
OUT after the Brannigan match
there will be nothing but better
things for the McCue boy. And the
chances are most of his battling will
he done in Racine.

N CW 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 Iaet 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 back against the ropes. Just
when it looked like a sure knockout
Flynn came to life.
• * *
C KORGE RODEL, the “Fighting
1 ers slugged and pounded each
other, each trying for a knockout.
When tiie 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 tights of his career.

Boer,” with Bob Fitzsimmons

Torn Sharkey, in the 1ft-round semi
final.
TRAVERS MEETS KAMMER
IN METROPOLITAN FINALS
NEW YORK. May 24. - The final round
for the Metropolitan golf championship
title is on to-day between Jerome 1).
Travers, tlie present champion, and Al
fred D. Kammer 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. 7-6, played out the bye-holes
and made a new amateur competitive
record of 70 strokes for the course.
Later Travers defeated Oswald Kirk-
by. tiie New Jersey State champion, by
2 up in his semi-final match.
$10,000 GUARANTEE FOR SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.—Tom
j 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.
VVE DON’T HAVE ANY LUCK.
Here for three or four weeks we
have been bearing with patience and
restraint the advance dope on toe
mighty clash of those titans. Gun
boat Smith and Jess Willaru. sooth
ing ourselves with the thought that
this light would t»e 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 ii 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 be much tnore ex
citing.
They R.ught 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 sporting writers. That was all.
A twenty-round fight between high-
class men is frequently slow and un
interesting. and it is easy to imag
ine what this mus. have been like.
* * *
To llir conquering him stalks
The tilth t espert and naps and
squawks.
Ami hallows that he wasn't right
Against that gup the other night:
And when gnu make this burn dc-
eatnp
lie's followed lip another trump.

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 as long as one rocking chair
remains afloat in the racing commit
tee. room.
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 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 Eddie
Hanlon.

Arthur Pelky will have the chance of
his young iife when he stacks up against
Luther McCarty in a 10-round affair
at Calgary, Alberta, Saturday night.
Should Pelky succeed in besting Mc

come one of the greatest cards in the
heavyweight division.

Tom O’Rourke wishes to challenge
any lightweight on behalf of Billy Ben

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 lias 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 Me*
Goorty and Frank Klaus clash In a six-
round bout. Klaus’ friends have made

• * •
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
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.—
Rivers is the lucky boy to get the
July 4 date here with Champion Wil
lie Ritfchie.
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 tight 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 Nolan. “A syndicate of very
wealthy Britishers is seeking to pro
mote a match between Ritchie and
Freddie Welsh for that date.”
