S AX FRANCISCO. July 28.—Ar-
thur Pelky, the new white
heavyweight champion, pos
sesses most of the facial characteris
tics of the professional pugilist, but
it can scarcely be said that he has a
righting eye
Now. do not misunderstand me
There is nothing in Pelky’* look lo
suggest that he is lacking in courage,
but. sizing him up as he »at in my
den yesterday, 1 could not help think
ing how different he was from other
brand-new champion** 1 had known.
In most cases the eye of a freshly-
tledged champ glints with a mixture
of pride and defiance. If looks could
be construed into words the look
to which 1 refer would read. “1 can
lien anything that walks in two
shoes.”
Pelky’s exes are large and dark
the eyes of a man who broods. To
me it almost seemed as if the vhadow
of that fearful experience he had in
the ring at ('algrcry was still upon
him. The suspicion was confirmed
bx his evident re.uctance to talk
about the recent past and his palpable
inclination to talk about ringmen
other than himself. To the majority
of champions the recital of how they
won their spurs gives unbounded
pleasure To Pelky the recollection
brings a shudder.
• • •
1} ELKY is tall, squarelx built and
* has a strong law and large, firm
ly-knit hands He is big enough
to tackle anything in human snupe.
He is here with Tommy Burns, once
world's champion in his own right,
but now falle4i into flesh and quite
content to he known as a connois-
*«eur.
Tommy is Pelky's manager, and the
manner in which Burns discovered
that Pelkx was worth managing was
not the least interesting thing he had
to tell Pelky went to Calgary to box
six rounds xxith Burns While the
affair wa« in progress the beauties of
Pelky's character as a tighter unfold
ed to Tommy. At the end of the bout
Tommy was all in, and an hour later
Tommy wae Polity's manager.
"We are in no hurry to make
matches." said Burns “We have
twelve weeks' work in the theater.--,
beginning' at Pantages next week,
and In the meantime the Gunboat
Smith-Jin: Flynn match will be de
cided and the winner will stand forth
as a challenger of Pelky. If Smith
w ins, and 1 think he w ill ”
"Pardon me." said Pelky in a soft-
voiced wax I think Flynn will de
feat Smith ”
"Well, anyway, joull be ready to
sign with the winner.” resumed Tom
my.
"And if it is Smith you’ll like it
all the better You have always want
ed to box him, haven’t you?”
Pelky nodded hi* approval.
• • •
BURNS and Pelky were reminded
that Sam Langford, the negro
pugilist, is back from Australia, and
were asked how overtures for a Pel
ky-Langford match would be regard
ed.
"1 vxant it to be understood that
I will never box u colored man,” said
Pelky. "Some time ago. when the
promoters of the country decided t >
discourage the making of mix^d
matches and contests were arranged
to decide xvho was the white heavy
weight champion. 1 thought it one of
the best moves ever made in pugillsnvc
1 am still of that way of thinking. 1
cull myself the white champion, and
feel that I have every right to do
so. but If the public took the •‘•tand
that I ought to accept matches with
negroes. I’d be willing to drop out of
the game entirely.”
* • •
**T THINK he's right," said Burns
1 . "Of course 1 fought a negro
when I met Jack Johnson, but if I
had my time to go over again he
would wait h long time for a match.
To tell the truth. I never wanted to
tight Johnson l was offered big
money by the National Flub of Lon
don. and 1 turned it down. When I
went to Australia and the question
came up again, I said that I wanted
every cent of $30,000 before I'd go
into the ring with Johnson. It was a
lot of money but McIntosh produced
It. and then there was no getting out
of it. mo far as I was concerned.
"And talking of public opinion in
such matters. I have lived to learn
that a fighter should not lay too much
stress upon public opinion. It shifts

Johnson 1 used to receive letters
taunting me with being afraid to

him and lost my title the letters still

a negro a chance at the champion

* * •
\ITHEN matchmaking is in order.
" it is Just possible that a trip
to Australia will be included in the
Burns-Pelky Itinerary. In response to
a m>SKago Bom out yonder. Burns
has cabled that Pelky will be willing
to take the journey and engage in a
series of three fights.

EVERS HAS BENCHED BRES-
nahan for disobedience, the only
wonder being th„t in that combi- I
nation someone was not benched i
or biffed long since.
M ORDECAI BROWN is not
through. In fact, it looks a?*
if Manager Joe Tinker, of the
Reds, said very true words when in
the spring he claimed that the three
fingered wonder still had a lot of
good baseball left In him. True.
Brown is» not hurling the kind of ball
he did several seasons ago. but Just
the same. Johnny Evers could use
him at present, and to good advan
tage.
After Brown had helped the Cubs
to four pennant? and two world's
championships, his arm went to the
bad in 1912. When the off season
came. C. Webb Murphy thought he
would not need the three-fingered
boy any more, and shipped him to
the minors.
But Joe Tinker, new manager of
the Reds, thought different. Joe was
with "Brownie" a long time, and when
be was shipped to the A. A., he and
Garry Herrmann arranged a deal
whereby Miner would come back to
the National League And it Iooks
as if they made no error in securing
Brown.
Beats Old Mates Twice.
Maybe now C. Webb Murphy and
Johnny Evers see they made a big
mistake in releasing the former star
of the Cubs. Recently when the Rods
were playing the Bruins, the three-
fingered hurler took a pair of games
from Johnny Evers’ gang, one of them
being a shutout, in which only six
base knocks were made off him.
When Tinker secured Brown, it
was for the simple reason to use
him as a coach for his young mound-
men. He was carried until Mav 1
before he made his appearance on the
firing line. Since the hot weather
arrived, though. Brown's -ood right
arm seems lo be as good as ever, and
he is taking his regular turn on the
mound for his club.
Has Good Record.
Although Brown is not winning as
regular or working quite as often as
he did a few years back, he has a
record which is far better than the
one owned bv his club.
Miner has won seven games and
lost six this campaign. That's a per
centage of .538 The Reds own a
mark of .880, so it can be seen that
Brownie is 158 points ahead of his
team.
Bo far this season Brown has ap
peared in 22 games, being used as a
relief hurler most of the time. In
»*se 22 contests he has worked 95
Innings.

Matty Has Great Ring Record
By Harrv Gilmore, Jr.
I OS ANGELES. CAL., July 28 —
Next in line on the Vernon fistic
slate is the twenty-round en
gagement to-morrow right between
Matty Baldwin, of Bostbn. and Leach
Cross, of New York City. What bet
ter fistic offering could be asked, bar
ring an immediate championship en
counter with Willie Ritchie as one of
the principals, than those two crack
Eastern lightweights?
Cross and Baldw in have long since
been bitter rivals, and after repeated
efTorts on the part of Eastern pro
moters to bring them together with
out avail, they will now settle the
old score with twenty rounds in which
to bring about a result which shouid
bp decisive. Cross has forever found
the Bostonian a thorn in hip side, and
carefully analyzing their respective
records it seems he might well have
found him a formidable foe.
* * •
OALDWIN has had in excess of 150
A fights in the eleven years in
which he has been In the ring, and
has met the best of the lightweights
of recent years barring the old war
rior, Hat Nelson. Baldwin won and
lost a 12-round decision to Owen Mo

spectively. of 1910, when Moran was
at his best. He had previously drawn
in limited bouts with Tommy Murphy
and Abe Attell in New' York City

scrapper were at the zenith of their
careers. He lost to Cross on a fotf.

Baldwin visited the coast just two
years ago and took Freddie Welsh

best of all. his last engagement, a
decisive win over Young Shugrue in
New York, speaks his praises. Shu

months before the latter came West
for the Anderson engagement, so on
the dope the Boston boy figures very
strongly against his Leaches.

A/TATTY has completed training for

dence that inspires pome of the Cross
adherents to believe that there is in
deed a doubtful chance for their en
try: and. from present indications,
thp getting price will be a pretty even
thing. ,
"I know Cross and his fighting

fighters who have met him,” said
Baldwin in discussing the match. "He

I am satisfied that I can land a de
