IK'Cl TO GET
FIGHTS WITH
LEADING STIRS
By Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO. ILL, May 24—No more
*lob fights for Matty McCne. Ra
ring's sensation of th#» ring. Af
ter the little fellow haa finished out
the angagcmants he .has at the pres
ent time, which include a battle in
Fond du Lac. T^’is., in Jack Brunk-
horst's ^rena and one. in Milwaukee
with Phtsy Brannigan. the Eastern
featherweight. John McCue. his man
ager. 1s 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 go
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
cnce 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 em 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 th# title, If that will
get him anything, is adjudged by the
eider 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. McCue would U f ’
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
* • •
f^HARLEY WHITE, the sensation
local boxer, who is neither a
feather nor a light weight, but lian. I
to be a thorn in the side of boys |
of either class also is spoken of to- 1
a corking good test for McCue. Ann j
the McCue party is not unwilling toi
listen to reason In the matter of
weight Recognizing that Chatlej I
would he a dandy draw with the Ra
cine sensation the Wisconsin peoph I
are beginning to flirt w ith Nate Dow i*
regarding the proposed meet ini
White is willing to make 126 pour
for Matty, which would not be mui
of a hardship
• * •
Jack BRUNKHORST Is sending
J young boxer named Johnny Boko
who is well known up in the Lak
Winnebago District. against th
punching star and there is a prosper t
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
him lately. Up in Fond du Lac they
seem to like Sokol pretty well, for
he has put up some good contests
there, the fiercest of which was a
ten-round draw with Gene McGov
ern that had everybody yelling like
mad before it was over. Since that
time Sokril has spent ’all of his time
in the East and was especially ac
tive in the neighborhood of Buffalo,
w here he whipped some of the best
boys of his weight. •
• * •
B RUNKHORST 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 &nd said afterward
that while McCue surely la 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 and
Sorenson, who fought Battling Nel
son a hard ten-round go recently, in
the semi-windup.
• • •
T HE Pats' Brannigan that Mil
waukee has matched up with Mc
Cue is the veteran bantamweight of
the Bast, now filled out until he finds
himself up among the feathers. Pat
sy had numerous turnups with John
ny Ooulon and »s one of those tricky
old chaps with a long, wise head and
quite capable of troubling any of
them for-a little while at ’east.
• • •
B UT after the Brannigan match
there will be nothing but better
things for the McCue boy And the
chances are most of his battling will
be done in Racine

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 laM night in one of the fiercest
and most thrilling heavyweight bouts
ever seen in the city.
Coffey, taller and heavier than
Flynn, starteu at Flynn like i 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 :t looked like a sure knockout
Flynn came to life.
* * *
C* KORGE RODED. the ”l ’ i ghting
* era 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 ppt up one of the
greatest. uphill fight? of .his .career.

NEW-YORK, May 24.—The final round
for the Metropolitan golf championship
title Is on to-day between Jerome D.
Travers, the present champion, and Al
fred D. Rammer on the Fox. Hills golf

easlly 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 Oswald Kirk-
hy. the New Jersey Slate champion, by

$10,000 GUARANTEE FOR SMITH
SAN FRANCISCO, .May 24. Ton
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 three or four week* v\e
have beer, bearing with patierce and
| resmunt the advance dope on toe
mighty clash of those titans. Gun
boat Smith and Jes*s Willard, sooth
ing ourselves with the ’nought that
this fight would be the finish of one
| of them.
instead of which both of them will
! now be going about the country in-
i sisting on telling a lot of people who
never did them any hurm that all
they want is another chance to get
; together with each other, with Lute
| McCarty or with anybody else.
They wit! clamor for vindication,
i 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 yvould b» much more ex
citing.
They fc-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
j 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 is easy to imag
ine what this must have been like.

the wave as long as one rocking chair

tee room.
RINGSIDE NOTES
Tom Jones, manager of Jess Willard,
is breaking his neck: trying to get hie
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 meeis 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
? reat shape for his bout with Eddie
lanlon.
• • •
If Matty McCue succeeds tn defeat
ing Patsy Brannigan at Milwaukee.

Arthur Pelky 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 Felky succeed in besting Mc
Carty or holding him even he will be
come one of the greatest cards in the
heavyweight division.
• * •
Tom O’Emjrko wishes to challenge
any lightweight on behalf of Billy Ben
nett, the Irish lightweight champion.
O’Rourke is particularly anxious to sign
hla boxer for a match wfth Willie Rit
chie or Freddie Welsh.
• • •
Chicago fans are boosting Eddie Mur
phy as a contender for the lightweight
Championship. Murphy’s recent draw
flgbt against Jack Britton has done
much to put him back in the good
graces of the windy city fans Mur-
8 by put up a great battle and was
ghting 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
billed to take on .Tack 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 McOarey that he had
been unable to induce Ritchie to meet

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.”
