M. Bv W. W. Naughton. S AN FRANCISCO. July 28.—Ar- thur Pelky, the new w'hlte heavyweight champion, pos. sesaes most of the facial characteris tics of the professional pugilist, but it can scarcely be said that he has a fighting eye Now. do not misunderstand me There is nothing in Peiky’s look to suggest that he is lacking in courage, but, sizing him up as he «nt in my den yesterday. I could not help think lng how different he was from other brand-new champions 1 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 lick anything that walks in two shoes.” Pelky** eyes are large and dark— the eyes of a man who broods. To me it almost seemed as if the shadow of that fearful experience he had in the ring at Ca’gary 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 rlngmen 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 rhudder. • • • P ELKY is tall, squarely built and has a strong jaw and large. Arm- ly-knlt 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 Peiky’s manager, and the manner in which Bums discovered that Pelky was worth managing was not the least interesting thing he had to tell. Pelky wenrto Calgary to box six rounds with Burns While the affair was in progress the beauties of Pelky** character as a fighter unfold ed to Tommy. At the end of the bout Tommy was all in, and an hour later Tommy wap Peiky’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 Gunboit Smith-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. ”1 think Flynn will de feat Smith.” "Weill an^w*y, you'll he 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 his approval. * • • 13 URNS and Pelky were reminded that Sam Langford, the qegro pugilist, is back from Australia, and were asked how overtyres for a Pel- kv-Langford match would be regard ed. "I want It to be understood that I will never box a colored man,” said Pelky. 'Some time ago. when the promoters of the country decided to discourage the making of mixed matches and contests were arranged to decide who w'as the white heavy weight champion. I thought it one of the beat moves ever made in pugilism. I am still of that way of thinking. I call myself the white champion, and feel that I have every right to do so, but if the public took the irtand that I ought to accept matches with negroes, I'd be willing to drop out of the game entirely.” **T THINK he’s A “Of course right,” said Burns 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- e on. and I turned it down. When I ent to Australia and the question came up again, 1 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. eo far as I was concerned. "And talking of public opinion in such matters. I have lived to learn tha4 a fighter should not lay too much atress upon public opinion. It ’shifts and veers too much. Before I boxed Johnson I used to receive letters taunting me with being afraid to meet the negro. After I went agatnsi him and lost mv title the letters still came in. But their tone had chang ed. I was reviled for having glvVn a negro a chance at the champion ship.” • • • \UHEN matchmaking la in order, it is juat Voseible that a trip to Australia will be included in the Burns-Pelky itinerary. In response to a message from out yonder, Burns has cabled that Pelky will be willing to take the Journey and engage In a series ^>f three fights. Tommy lias named as po^ible op ponents for Pelky: Jim Flynn. Jess Willard. J1m Coffey, A1 Palzer and Gunboat Smith, B. JOHNSON ’S RAGE. {In one week.)

In fact, it looks as 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. AJter Brown had helped the Cubs to four pennants and two world’s championships his arm went to the bad In 1912. When the off season came. C. Webb Murphy thought he wmuld not need the three-fingered boy any more, and ehlpped him to the minora. But Joe Tinker, new manager of the Reds, thought different. Joe was with “Brownie” a long time, and when he w’as shipped to the A. A., he and Garry Herrmann arranged a deal whereby Miner wmuld come back to the National League. And it looks as if they made no error in securing Brown. Beats Old Mates Twiee. 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 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 wmre 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 May 1 before he made his appearance on the firing line Since the hot w’eather arrived, though, Brown’s 'mod 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 bv his club. Miner has won seven games and lost six this campaign. That’s a per centage of .638. The Reds own a mark of .380. ao It can be seen that Brownie Is 158 points ahead of his team. So far this season Brown has ap peared in 22 games, being used as a relief hurler most of the time.

Cross and Baldwin have long since been bitter rivals, and after repeated efforts 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 should be decisive.
