6 TTTT ATLANTA CEO LOT AN AND NEWS SATURDAY. MAY 24. 1D1T5. E TO GET 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. TWO MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUTS WILL RE HELD AT BUTTE BUTTE. MONT.

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. * * * /""FORGE RODEL, the ..Fighting Boer,” with Bob Fitzsimmons acting as his second, . outs iigged Soldier Kearns, who wav seconded by 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).

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. w * * 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 throngs. • • • 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. • * * If Matty McCue succeeds in defeat ing Patsy Brannigan at Milwaukee. Wis.. Monday night he is to get a match with Abe Attell. The ex-feather- Vveight champion has agreed to meet the Racine sensation on June 5. * * * 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 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 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 him ah 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 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.” W.-l.
