By Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO, ILL.. May . —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. Wis.. in Jack Brunk-
horst’s arena and one in Milwaukee
with Patsy Brnnnigan. 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 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
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.
• • •
J OHNNY DUNDEE, the young East
ern Italian who 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 will
get him anything, is adjudged by the
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. 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 easy fig
ure for the hardy New Yorker there
would be 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 ns
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 be 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.
• • •
J ACK BRUNKHORST Is sending a
young boxer named Johnny Sokol,
who is well known up in the Lake
Winnebago District. against tlie
punching star and there F 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
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 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.
• • •
T!> RUNKHORST was at the Racine
battle recently and saw the .Mc
Cue threashlng 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 card ou for his show,
having matched Freddie Andrews and
Sorenson, who fought Battling Nel
son a hard ten-round go recently, In
the semi-wind up.
• • •
THK Patsy Rrannigan that Mll-
* waukee has matched up with Mc
Cue is the veteran bantamweight of
the East, now filled out until he finds
himself up among the feathers. Pat
sy had numerous turnups with John
ny Coulon and is one of those tricky
old chaps with a !ong, wise head and
quite capable of troubling any of
them for a little while at least.
• • •
■OCT after the Brannlgan match
there will be nothing but better
things for the McCue boy And the
chances are most of his battling will
he done in Rac ine.

EW YORK. May —Philadel
phia, O happy town, glee is thv
name. While other cities are
filled with weeping, walling and
gnashing of molars, the fans of Quak-
ertown beam forth smiles of bites,
for their prides, the Athletics and
Phillies are winning games. For over
tljree-fourths of the time since the
season began both clubs have b» en
in first place, and the way they
loom up at present makes it appear
not improbable that they will be there
when the oaseball year ends. The
Athletics* look like a sure thing for
the honor Just now end the Phillies
like a good bet.
To many of the Phillies have been
a surprise, but to those who have
watched closely the progress of the
team In the last few years, they ap
pear simply to be coming into their
own. A hard-hlting and steady -
fielding infield has ben kept intact for
the past three years. Laderus, Knabe,
Doolan and Lobert have played con
sistently good ball all the way. The
catching staff has been practically
the same for two seasons, with Man
ager Dooin and Killifer doing the
bulk of the work, and the pitching
staff and outfield are vastly Im
proved. Also tremendously superior
substitutes have been lined up. Con
sider then the fact that, for three-
fourths of the way, the Phillies led
the race of 1911 and that they fell
onlv when broken legs*, suspensions
and sickness broke up the |eara. This
year's squad, much better than the
one of that time, is considered a sur
prise -only among those who fail to
take cognizance of things as they are.
Dooin Has Great Pitchers.
Dooin has one of the most wonder
ful pitching staffs* ever gathered to
gether, when its members are in their
stride, which they certainly are at
present Seaton. Alexander, Chal
mers, Moore. Rixley and Mayer are
gems of the first water, while Bren
nan and Nelson also are useful on
occasions. The Giants and Pirates
at the start of the reason seemed to
have the best bunches of hurlers. but
Marquard and Tesrau. the expected
leaders of the New York corps, have
| gon * to pieces apparently, and the
Pittsburg mound men all seem to have
suffered kinks in their arms. Dur
ing the first month of the pennant
^allop. the pitching of the Phillies
w.ts so good that an average of three

Phillies Win Close Games.
one thing that has figured promi
nently in the success of Dooin's tribe
to date has been its knack of win
ning the close games. Whenever the
team lacked about one run of enough
to win. when th * final innings came
along then a.most always has* been
some sturdy batsman who would step
up and slam out one particular hit
that brought in the deciding tallies

tigured particularly strong in
class of pinch-hitting and the
standing of the team at pres-
s du* largely to their delivering
dropping two and the latter split
ting up at one apiece. The Dodgers,
Giants and Pirate* were whaled un
mercifully. the last year's champion*
taking the count in two series.
Athletics Outplay Rivals.
The Athletics have been winning
their games in a way entirely differ
ent from that of the Phillies. Neither
has shown mediocrity in any partic
ular department, but the Phillh s’
margin over rivals has been largely
in the pitching. The Athletics have
encountered pitching almost equal to
theirs but have outflelded and out-
batted their rivals. The Athletics,
however, do not seem to be as well
fortified against disaster as the rival
Sleeptown club. If injuries should
overtake both club*' Mack's men
would suffer heavily, whereas the
Dooinites could send In substitutes
able to hold up their end capably.
But the Athletics seldom have been
afflicted with injuries of much ac
count, and it seems likely that they
will break better than their rivals
in this respect again. The Red Sox
have suffered from poor condition
thus far. and the Senators have been
checked by injuries to Gandil and
Foster. It may turn out, when the
end of the year comes along, that
the games lost in these early stages
by the Red Sox and Senators may
prove Just enough to give the Ath
letics a cinch on the pennant. If the
Pirates and Giants continue to av
erage a** low in effectiveness as they
have thus far. the Phillies also will
be fortune-favored.
Some time ago, when Chance had
just been signed by the Yankees, the
question was raised as to what would
nappen if New' Y r ork should get a
corner on world's series in futuro.
It looks Just now as though if any
town is going to corner the next
world's series. Philadelphia has by
several miles the best chance of doing
so.
BARRY AN ORANGE GROWER.
REDLANDS, May 24. Jack Barry,
former New Y’ork (Hants’ outfielder,
is a full-fledged Redlands orange
grower, having purchased a ten-acre
grove on Sylvan boulevard. Barry
has been batching in a house on his
grove for several days, and says that
he is delighted with Redlands, and
that he is going to be ‘‘some orange
grower." He will bring his family
here from Buffalo in a few weeks to
make their home.
JIM COFFEY IN
Tl
N ew YORK, May —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 back against the ropes. Just
w'hen it looked like a sure knockout
Flynn came to life.
* * *
P*OR the next six rounds the fight-
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 fup one of the
greatest uphill fights of his career.

TRAVERS MEETS KAMMER
IN METROPOLITAN FINALS
NEW YORK, May —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
easily 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-
by. the New Jersey State champion, by
2 up in his semi-final match.
$10,000 GUARANTEE FOR SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO, May .—Tom
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 r
months.
Sports and Such
: \ By RIGHT CROSS \
WE DON’T HAVE ANY LUCK.
' Here for three or four weeks we
| have been bearing with patierce and
I restraint the advance dope on tnc
| mighty clash of those titans, Gun-
j boat Smith and Jess Willaru, sooth-
j ing ourselves with the thought 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
sisting on telling a lot of people w ho
never di.l 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 b° much more ex
citing.
They fought 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-
iteresting, and it is easy to imag-
* , r what this must have been like.

And when you make this bum de

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.
* * •
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
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 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 Hft-
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’ 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 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.
ALMEIDA KNOCKS HOMER.
PHILADELPHIA. May ...—The Cin
cinnati team owes its sole run in yester-
day’s game to the fierce slugging of
Rafael Almeida, former Birmingham
third baseman. In the second inning
Almeida pickled one of Brennan’s fast
ones and the ball sailed into the bleach
ers for a Home run.
Rivers Gets July 4
Date With Champion
SAN FRANCISCO, May -1—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 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
light 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 Nolan. “A syndicate of very
wealthy Britishers is seeking to pro
mote a match between Ritchie and
Freddie Welsh for that date.”
