She says that Smith- or rather Eckblad—wag born in Milica, Minn., and that his forbears hailed from Copenhagen. Now that the secret is out, the av erage fan will have it that Gunboat looks more like a Dane than an Irish man. but the subject is a dangerous one to broach in Buckley’s presence. He brands the report as *T cruel can ard. and asserts that the fellows who had the temerity to attack Smith’s nationality will try to prove that Tommy Murphy is a Polish Jew be fore they are done Murphy, however 1« better equipped with an alibi than Gunboat Tom my* i photograph would fit into its stir roundings if published as a frontis piece to the song, “Where the River Shannon Flow a I F Flynn is in fairly good shape he is likely to make things interesting for Gunboat.

The chances are. however, that Flynn is slower than he used to be, His defeat by Luther McCarty at Los Angeles tamed his stubborn pride and took much of the starch out of him It was noticed in the affair referred to that Pueblo Jim did not assimilate punishment as in former fights, and the suspicion formed that long serv ice had deprived him of his dash.

Smith. CHICAGO, July 29.—There may yet be a lightweight champion of the world hailing from south of tli® Mason and Dixon line. Joe Mandot, champion of the South, hasn't given up hope by a long way of yet at taining the coveted title and. if se rious endeavor and some sparkling mills next winter w r il! get what en deavor and seriousness are said in the story books to get, then Mandot has a grand chance. Joe doesn't believe so much in what is contained in story books, but he has pored over a lot of record books, and knows pretty well what they contain. That’s why he knows it's going to be a mighty serious task ahead of him. • • • J OE wandered Into town last even ing. He had his pretty little wife and a huge smile with him. and had not been in the city more than a few’ minutes before he was joined by the indefatigable Tommy Walsh, and they began to lay plans for the fall cam paign. Joe came through from Los Angeles by way of Ban Francisco and Denver, stopping off at San Fran cisco to see the Ritchle-Rivers bat tle. and making a halt at Denver to look over the situation there. He will remain in the city until to-night, and then intends to journey on to New Orleans and go to the Mandot ranch, but a short distance from that city, and rest there for a good many weeks. In addition, Joe’s father, the big baker of the French Market in New Orleans, is not in good health, and Joe wants to see him. • • • ALONG in the fall some time Joe will be ready to start out on an entirely new campaign, the ultimate aim of which will be to land a crack at the lightweight title. Joe says his first battles in this campaign will be decided w ithin easy reaching distance Motor Races Motordrome To-night, 8:15 of Chicago and that he will take on several of the best men attainable Long lias he wanted to box around here and believes that not only can he make many friendp here, but can pick up the change as well, which, after all. is the main thing in most businesses o.* professions. Joe has a lot of friends here now and expects to make more. * * • F OE doesn’t think that Willie Ritchie J is a great champion, because he has demonstrated that he can not, or will not. make the weight which has been recognized for a long time now' as the real limit of the claRs. Listen to what the bright young Frenchman has to say of his impres sions of the champion: “While Wil lie was training for the Rivers fight I paid him a visit, and he looked any thing but good to me. He waa ter ribly drawn and thin, and It was then but three days from fighting time. They asked me how he looked to me. and 1 told them he w r as all right jf he didn't have to reduce any more. I certainly didn't like his chances after 1 saw’ him and figured that Rivers had a royal chance of w hipping him. But it didn’t turn out that way. • • • G117 OULDN’T I like to have had ** the chance that Rivers did! He’ll never get a better one of win ning a title. No. I don’t guess he quit. He was hit hard enough in the chin. It looked all right to me. Ritchie can hit. there isn’t any ques tion about that. I happen to be In a position to know, because he hit me once in New Orleans. That’s why I don't think Rivers quit. But Willie is a big fellow and can not make 133 pounds at the ringside. Therefore he isn't a legitimate lightweight." VITT IN BAD SHAPE. DETROIT. MICH. July 29—Oscar Vitt, second baseman of ihe Detroit league baseball club. is seriously ill with la grippe here: His physicun said to day his condition had not reached the critical stage and recovery is expected, but the player will probably be out of the game until fall at least GADSDEN TO RETAIN TEAM.

July 29.—A small army of riding celebrities will be on hand at Vernon arena to night to see Leach Cross-Matty Bald win scheduled twenty-round bout. The affair appears to be one that the boxers themselves have long been wanting to see. as it is known that considerable bad blood exists be tween Leach and Matty. Seat reservations "have been made by Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie, Ad Wolgast, Joe Rivers, Bud Anderson, Johnny Dundee, Jack White. Jess Willard. “Bull” Young and Harry Trendall, the latter hav ing come all the wav from St. Louis to challenge the winner of to-night’s go. Cross has faced Matty twice, and each time came away with second money and a sore jaw. Matty holds a twenty-round decision over Willie Ritchie, the present champion. But this victory was earned before Ritch ie was considered to be of champion ship caliber. The betting remains at 10 to 7, with Cross favorite. Charley Eyton will referee. OR 30 minutes to-night at the Motordrome five two-men teams will whirl around the wooden saucer at an 85-mile-an-hour clip. Barring accident*, this will be by far the most exciting event that has ever been staged here. All ten of the riders spent the day tuning up their motors and each pre dicts a victory for their team. They also practiced relieving their pa j ners. The man riding has to com- 3 off the track onto the flat space in front of the paddock and touph his partner on the shoulder before the latter can take up the sprinting. The early arrivals to-night will grab the seats in front of the paddock as this will enable them to witness the “relieving." Here is how the teams are made up: Graves and McNeil, Schwartz aid Lockner, Shields and Richards, Luther and Lewis, Renel and Glenn. POLO MATCH. NAR RAGAN SETT PIER, R. I..

There is really not much of a limit to what Kenny could do with such an amount of money, providing he de sires to remain in baseball. If he wished to play the game for an rdinary salary, he could be sure of reporting in condition by hiring an entire major league club to go South and train with him. or he could buy any franchise in organized baseball and be club owner, player and man ager at the same time. One thing 1s certain, he ran have many run-ins with the umpires and not be broke on pay day. Special trains for the trips around the circuit would easily be within his means, and he could buy a newspaper and publish his own press notices. At any rate, it’e a pretty good bet that the $4,000.00 ball player will lead Artie Shafer, of the Giants, when it comes to receiving perfumed notes from the fair fans. B UT the 30-minute race is not the only event carded that is attract ing attention. Th« Motordrome Sweep stakes ought to be a corker. There will be two qualifying heats. In the first the riders will be Graves. Shields*. Richards, Renel and Lewis. In th^ second Schwartz, Lockner, Luther, McNeil and Glenn will start. The final heat is almost sure to bring together Richards and McNeil. McNeil and Richards are bitter en emies once they get hooked up in a race. Richards holds a couple of de cisions over the little Scotchman, l.ut Jock’s machine ip O. K. now and he is confident that to-night he will lead Tex to the wire. Harry Glenn and Luther are going to battle in a two-mile match race, two best heats out of three. Glenn beat Schwartz the other night, and says he will surely down Luther. But the latter’s motor is going immense these days and he predicts the local boy will have to be satisfied with sec ond place. * * * T^OLLOWING Is the program for to- * night: First Event. First heat Motordrome Sweep- stakes (1 mile to qualify and 2-mile' final). Starters—Graves, Shields, Richards, Renel, Lewis. Second Event. First heat of a match race between Glenn and Luther.
