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.

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.

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 D. Travers, the present champion, and Al fred D. Rammer on the Fox. Hills golf course. Travers, by steady playing, has- 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 2 up in bis semi-final match $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. * * * To the conquering hero ttnlks Tlw light expert and gaga and aquairk«.

Something telle 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 be is greatly pleased with the splendid sportsmanship of the New York Yacht Club, and yet there aie 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. 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.

The ex-feather weight champion has agreed to meet the Racine sensation on June 5 • * * 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 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. LEAGUE RAISES LIMIT.
