S AN FRANCISCO, July 28.—Ar thur Pelky, the new white heavyweight champion, f ‘pos sesses most of the facial characteris tics of the professional puglllK, but it can scarcely be said that he has a 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 «it in my den yesterday, I could not he!f> think - ing 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 he construed Into words the look to which 1 refer would read, “I can licK anything that walks in two shoes." Pelky’s eves 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 Calgary was still upon him.

To Pelky the recollection j brings a shudder. • • • | T) ELKY Is tall, squarely built and I * has a strong jaw and large, firm ly-knit hands lie is big enough to tackle anything in human shape. He is here with Tommy Burns, once world’s Champion in\hls own right, but now fallen into flesh and quite content to be known as a connois seur. Tommy is Pelky’s manager, and the manner in which Hums discovered I 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 Pelky’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. “Wt are in no hurry to make | matches,” said Burns. “We twelve weeks’ work in the theaters* beginning at Pantages next week, and In the meantime the Gunboat i Smith-Jim Flynn match will be de cided and the winner will stand forth as a challenger of Pelky. If Smith wins, and 1 think he will ” “Pardon *mo." said Pelky in a soft- voiced way A “I think Flynn will de- I feat Smith." "Well, 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 always want ed to box him, haven’t you?" Pelky nodded his approval. • • * IJ URNS and Pelky were reminded AA 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 want it to be understood that 1 will never box a colored man," said Pelky. "Some time ago when tin 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. 1 thought it one of the best moves ever made in pugilism. 1 am still of that way of thinking. 1 call myself the white champion, and feel that I have every right to do so, but if the public took the rtand that 1 ought to accept matches with negroes. I’d be willing to drop out of the game entirely." • • • “1 THINK he’s righ|," said Burns 1 “Of course fought a negro when 1 met Jack Johnson, but if I had my time to go over again he would wait a long time for a match. To tell the truth, I never wanted to tight Johnson 1 was offered big money by the National Club of Lon don. and 1 turned it down. When I went to Australia and the question came up again, I said that 1 wanted every cent of $30,000 before I’d go into the ring with Johnson. It w as a lot of money, but McIntosh produced it, and then there was no getting out of it, eo tar 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 1 boxed Johnson 1 used to receive letters taunting me with being afraid to meet the negro. After I went against him and lost my title the letters still came in. But their tone had chang ed. I was reviled tot having given a negro a chance at the champion ship. ’’ 1. havp \X7HEN matchmaking la in order, ’’ it is just possible that a trip to Australia will be included in the Burns-Pelky itinerary.

M ORDECAI BROWN is not through. 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. After 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 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 w ith "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. Beat,* Old Mate* 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 Reds were playing the Bruins, the three- fingered hurier took a p^iir of games from Johnny Evers’ gang, one of them being a s-hutout, 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 May 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 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 .380. so 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 hurier most of the time. In these 22 contests lie has worked 95 innings.

CAL., July 28.— Next in line on the Vernon fistic slate is the twenty-round en gagement to-morrow’ night between Matty Baldwin, ofi 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 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. Cross 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. * • • DALDWIN has h*d in excess of 150 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, w’hen Moran was at his best. He had previously drawn in limited bouts with Tommy Murphy and Abe Attell in New York City, w'hen the foxy Abe and the Harlem scrapper were at the zenith of their careers. He lost to Cross on a foii. in eight rounds, May 13, 1910, in New York City, w'hen, it is claimed, he had Cross beaten and practically out. Baldwin visited the coast just two years ago and took Freddie Welsh for twenty rounds at San Francisco. June 23, losing the decision after going the limit. Only two months later he was returned a winner in the twentieth round over the now present champion. Willie Ritchie.
