C HICAGO, ILL., July 21.—There'B
one safe and sane place on
the fighting map whore box
ing will flourish for a long time, be
cause it is run by the best ha.ids and
conducted for the sport’s sake be
cause they think it's good pport.
That place is Butte, Mont. They are
guarding the game there as care
fully as it is possible to guard any
sport, and the men who form the
boxing commission in the State are
a reputable and representative lot.
And they are not following the lead
of New York or any other State,
nor are they going by any timeworn
and dogeared precedents. They are
handling the game on a fair and
unbiased basis. Hence the game is
flourishing there
• • •
J UST now the Montana commission
is made up of John P. Davies, a
Butte attorney; Dr. Cooney, of Hel
ena, and B. Markham, a Billings
sport writer, with W. McGrath, a
court clerk of Butte, acting as secre
tary. This commission is in con
stant ringside attendance at all of
the contests and notes with great
care all that transpires in even the
minor bouts. The rules formulated
by the commission are for the pro
tection of the club as well as the
boxer. Perhaps the strongest rule
thev have calls for a physical ex
amination of the boxers three days
before the contest, and the test is
one of the most severe that could
be framed. Tommy Walsh, who had
Knockout Brown boxing there July 4
with Jimmy Howard, says the ex
amination is the most thorough he
ever saw, and predicts that many a
man will fail in it during the com
ing winter season there. It is mod
eled on the lines of an army tes*.
* ♦ *
A LL boxers are required to get
on the scales the day before the
contest, and if there is any trouble
over the scaling, it will come up then
and not the day of the battle or a
few' hours before. This does away
with a lot of eleventh-hour hitches.
At least one member of the commis
sion is present at the scales, and
there is no possibility of any shady
work.
* * *
NE of the bes* rules formulated
^ by the commission is that re
quiring a club to furnish new sets
of gloves for every bout, of no mat
ter what importance. The prelimi
nary boys, as well as the wind-up
stars, are thus protected fully, and
nobody is asked to use old. dried-up
gloves that cut like knives. The
gloves must be of the best make, too,
and are carefully inspected by the
commission before they are given to
the boxers.
* * •
J UST now' there are two boxing
clubs in Butte, which is the box
ing center of the State. Jack Regan
operates the big club of the city, the
■ one at w’hich the Clabbv-McGoorty
contest was decided. Jack is the pro
gressive young man who recently of
fered a purse of $12,000 for a twelve-
round contest between Willie Rltchi •
and Leach Cross. He expects to de
cide some of the biggest battles in
the country during the winter. Jack's
rival is the Copper City A. C., with
Jerry McCarthy at its head. This is
the club that decided the Brown-
Howard encounter.

The fight for second place In both
leagues is waxing hot. The Senators
are right on the trail of the Naps, while
the Pirates in their rush upward are
likely soon to overhaul the Phillies.

The Yankees are continuing their mad
fight to get out of the cellar position,
opening up a series in Detroit with a
victory.

Southpaw “Eddie” Plank pitched in
world’s series form yesterday and the
Athletics shut out the Browns.

A fumble by Chapman in the ninth in

victory over the Naps.

Big Jeff Tesreau and Walter Johnson
are the strike out kings in their re
spective leagues. The Ozark bear has
caused 111 batsmen to retire, humbled
by his prowess, while “wonderful Wal
ter has breezed 127 batsmen.

Whether the Pirates will have a look-
in on the pennant will be demonstrated
in the series with the Giants beginning
to-morrow. Four games are scheduled
and the Pirates must get better than an
even break to cut down the thirteen
game handicap separating them from
the leaders.

Baldwin Makes a Hit on Coast
Leach Cross in for Hard Fight
QUIT DETIT;
By H. M. Walker.
I OS ANGELES, July 21.—Matty
Baldwin, who is scheduled to
box twenty rounds with the
New York dentist, Leach Cross, on
Tuesday night, July 29, went through
an impressive work-out at the St.
Ignatius Club gym yesterday after
noon. While Baldwin did not extend
himself at any time in his work
outs. his ease of style and compi le
mastery of the boxing game were ap
parent, and Cross should have con
siderable difficulty in holding him ->ff
to the limit.
Leach Cross traveled six rounds
with Louis Reese and Johnny O’Leary,
going three with each, and in addi
tion went through the full routine
of gym work. Cross showed excei -
lent form and appears to be in th-3
best of condition.
Bud Anderson was able to leave the
hospital yesterday for the first time
and is now convalescing at his Venice
apartment. Bud will remain at Venice
until fully able to travel. He expects
to be able to enter the ring again
within two or three months.
Ad Wolgast and Johnny Dundee,
who are to meet in the Vernon arena
on Admission Day, were both inter
ested spectators at the Cross work
out yesterday. Wolgast’s manager,
Tom Jones, will be here in a few
days, when the final arrangements for
the bout will be completed.
Lightweight Champion Willie
Ritchie is expected here to-morrow
morning. It is understood that an
agreement is under consideration
whereby Ritchie is to box here on
both Labor Day and on Thanksgiv
ing, possibly taking on the winner of
the Cross-Baldwin bout on the earlier
date and Joe Rivers in November.

America’s cup in a series of races In

B OSTON, July 21.—A Boston
sporting writer is authority to
day for the following:
“Ty Cobb is anxious to get away
from the Detroit Tigers, and he does
not care who knows it. Also the
mighty Tyrus would like very much
to play here in Boston, but frankly
admits he can not see how the Red
Sox would want to give up their Tris
Speaker.
“These statements are from Cobb
himself, artd come in a letter I re
ceived this morning from the Geor
gia Peach, in which he touched at
some length upon the story so wide
ly circulated last week to the effect
that there was a Speaker-for-Cobb
trade on, a story that President Mc-
Aleer denied most emphatically. Cobb
declares he has always liked Boston.
'The fans there always seem so fair.’
he writes, and adds that he would
like a place in the Red Sox batting
order.
“Tyrus significantly says: ‘There
are tw-o other American League cities
in which I would like to play. 1
would w’elcome a change.’ ”
