M. Bv W. W. Naughton. S AN 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 h fighting eye Now; do not misunderstand me. There is nothing in Pelky s look to suggest that he is lacking in courage, but, sizing him up as he sat in my den yesterday. 1 could not help think ing how different he was from other brand-new champion.-' I had known. In most cases the eye of a freshly fledged champ glints with a mixture of pride and defiance. If looks could be construed into words the look to which I refer would read, "I can Hck anything that walks in two shoe*.” Pel ley's eyes are large and dark- the evem of a man who broods To me it almost seemed as if the shadow of that fearful experience he had in the ring at Calgary was still upon him. The suspicion was confirmed by his evident reluctance 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 • • • P ELKY Is tall, squarely built and has a strong 1avx and large, firm ly-kn1t hands He is big enough to tackle anything in human shape. He is here with Tommy Burns, once world's champion In his own right but now fallen into flesh and quite content to be known as a connois seur. Tommy is Pelkv’s manager, and the manner in which Burns discovered that Pelky was worth managing was not the least interesting thing he had to tell. Pelky went to Calgary to box six rounds with Burns. While the affair was in progress the beauties of Pelk^s character as a fighter unfold ed to Tommy. At the end of the bout Tommy was all in, and an hour later Tommy was Pelky's manager. “We are In no hurry to make matchee,” said Burns “We have twelve weeks* w r ork In the theaters, boginning at Panrages next week, and In the meantime the Gunboat Smlth-Jim Flynn match will be de cided and the winner will stand forth as a challenger of Pelky. If Smith wins and I think he will ” “Pardon me," said Pelky in a soft- voiced way. “I think Flynn will de feat Smith.” “Weii, anyway, you’ll be ready to sign with the winner,” resumed Tom my. “And if it is Smith you’ll like it all the better You have alw-ays want ed to box him, haven’t you?” Pelky nodded his approval. • • • I>URNS 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- ini. “I want It to be understood that I w ill never box a colored man," said Pelkv “Some time ago w’hen the promoters of the country decided to discourage the making of mixed matches and contests were arranged , to decide who was the white heavy weight champion, I thought it one of the besrt moves ever made in pugilism. I am still of that w’ay of thinking. I caJl myself the white champion, and feel that I have every right to do so. but if the public took the stand that 1 ought to accept matches with negroes. I'd be willing to drop out of the game entirely.” • • • THINK he's right,” wild Burns 1 "Of course I fought a negro when I met Jack Johnson, but if I had my time to go over again he w'ould wait a long time for a match. To tell the truth, I never wanted to fight Johnson. I was offered big money by the National Club of Lon don. and I turned it down. When I w r ent to Australia and the question came up again. I said that I wauted every cent of $30,000 before I'd go into the ring wdth Johnson. It was a lot of money, but McIntosh produced it. and then there was no getting out of it, 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 and veers too much. Before I boxed Johnson I used to receive letters taunting me wdth being afraid to meet the negro. After 1 w^ent against him and lost mv title the letters still came in. But their tone had chang ed. I was reviled for having given a negro a chance at the champion ship.” • • • \1THEJN 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 messago from out yonder, Burns has cabled that Pelky will be willing to take the Journey and engage In a series of three fights. Tommy has named as possible op ponents for Pelky Jim Flynn. Jess Willard, Jim Coffey, A1 Palzer and Gunboat SfnllK Sports and Such B. JOHNSON’S RAGE. (In cme week.)

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 ba'J 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 pennants and two world’s championship*, 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 he was shipped to the A. A., he and Garry Herrmann arranged a deal whereby Miner would come back to the National league. And it looks as if they made no error in securing Brown. Beats Old Mates Twice. Maybe now C. Webb Murphy and Johnny Evera see they made a big mistake in releasing the former star of the Cubs. Recently when the Reds 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 to 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 by his club. Miner has won seven games and lost six thia campaign. That’s a per centage of .638. The Reds own a mark of .380. so It can be seen that Brownie la 168 points ahead of his team.

July 28.— Next in line on the Vernon fistic slate is the twenty-round en gagement to-morrow right between Matty Baldwin, of Boston, 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 Baldwin have long since been bitter rivals, and after repeated efforts on th-e part of Eastern pro moters to bring them together with out avail, they will now settle the old score with twenty round* in which to bring about a result which should be decisive. Cro6* has forever found the Bostonian a thorn in his side, and carefully analyzing their respective records it seems he might well have found him a formidable foe. * • • DAIJ>WIN has had In excess of 160 ^ 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, Bat Nelson. Baldwin won and lost a 12-round decision to Owen Mo ran In January and February, re 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, when the foxy Abe and the Harlem scrapper were at the zenith of their careers. He lost to Cross on a foi^. in eight rounds, May 13, 1910, In New York City, when, 1t is claimed, he had Cross beaten and practically out. Baldwin visited the coaat Just two years ago and took Freddie Welsh for twenty rounds at San Francisco. June 28, losing the decision after geing the limit.
