I T would require considerable ad vertising: to draw attentidti to a glove contest between white hopes Eekblad an 1 Chiariglion. would it? But if you announced a bout betwee n Gunboat Smith and Jim Flynn it would be different. A glance at the record book will show that Andre w Chiariglion is Jim Flynn’s rightful name, and according 4.o reports from New York it has been discovered that Gunboat Smith is a Dane, and that he was christened Ed ward Eekblad. They .*<ay Manager Jim Fuckley 1s mad clear through over the disclosure. Jim has been parading Gunboat as a second crop Irishman, and he con tinues to insist that the blood of the ancient kings of Munster flows through Gunboat’s veins. But Dame Rumor is giving Jim the laugh. She says that Smith—or rather Eekblad—was born in Milica, Minn., and that nis 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 a 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, is better equipped with an alibi than Gunboat. Tom my’s photograph would fit into its sur roundings if published as a frontis piece to the song, “Where the River Shannon Flows.” T F Flynn is in fairly good shape, he * is likely to make things interesting for Gunboat. The Flynn of a couple* of years ago was one of the most dangerous of all the heavies over a short distance. He always fought under a full head of steam, and at the same time kept so close to his man that he was hard to reach with full arm swings It was by piling in and forcing his opponent to fight at short range that Flynn defeated AJ Kaufman, Carl Morris and other men much bigger than himself. Gunboat, like Kauf man and Morris. b* at his best when permitted to stand away and measure his man. It may be that Smith will catch Plvnn wiUi one of his knock out blows while Flynn boxes in his old-time style. Smith is in for as merry a quarter of an hour as he has ever had on a fighting platform. The chances are, however, , that Flynn Is slower than he used to be. His defeat by Luther McCarty at Lon 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.

Smit h. CHICAGO, July 29.—There may yet be a lightweight champion of the world bailing from south of t.i« 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 will 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 \v«‘U what they *-on: .in ^That's why he knows it's going to !>»• a mighty serious task ahead of him. • * • T OK wandered Into town Inst even- J ing He had his pretty little wire and a huge smile with him, and # had not been in the city more than a few minutes before he was joined by th«* indeflitigable Tommy Walsh, and they began to lay plans for the fall cam paign. Joe came through from Los Angeles by way of San Francisco and Denver, stopping off at San Fran cisco to see the ltitchie-Rivers bat tle. and making a halt at Denver to look over the s4tnation there. He will remain in the city until to-night, and then intends to journey on to .Mhw 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. • • • A LONG in the fall some time Joe will be ready to start out on an entirely new campaign, tne ultimate aim of which will be to land a crack i at the lightweight title. Joe says his first battles In this campaign will be decided within easy reaching distance for New Start v#v Chance at Title Motor Races Motordrome To-night, 8:15 of Chicago and that he will take on several of the best men attainable Long has In* wanted to box around here and believes that not only can he make many friends here, but can pick up the change as well, which, after all, is the main tiling in most businesses o. 1 professions. Joe has a lot of friends here now and expects to make more. * * • J OF doesn’t think that Willie Ritchie J is a great champion, because he has demonstrated that he can not. «t will not. make the weight which has been recognized for a long time now as the real limit of the class. 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 1 paid him a visit, and he looked any thing but good to me. He was ter ribly drawn and thin, and it was then but three days from fighting time. They asked mellow he looked to me. and l told them he was all right if he didn't have to reduce any more. I certainly didn’t like his chances after I saw him and figured that Rivers had a royal chance of whipping him. But it didn’t turn out that way. • • • WOULDN'T 1 like to have had ** the chance that Rivers did! He’ll never get a better one of win ning a title. No. 1 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. 1 happen to be in a position to know, because he hit ni<* once in New Orleans. That’s why 1 don’t think Rivers quit. Hut 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 3:*.—Oscar \ itt. second baseman of the Detroit league baseball club, is seriously ill with la grippe here: His physican said to- da.\ his condition had not reached the critical stage and recovery is expected.

IK TD-NIGHT L OS ANGELES, 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 way from St. Louis to challenge the winner of to-night’s go.

Here Is a Player With $4,000,000 SACRAMENTO, CAL.. July 29.— Since Bill Ken worthy, the second- sacker of the Sacramento club, has hern notified that he is heir to $1.- 000,00, there has been considerable speculation as* to what his plans for the future will be. There is really not much of a limit to w hat Kenny could do w ith such an amount of money, providing he de sires to remain in baseball. If he wished to play the game for an vdinary 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 basebail and he club owner, player and man ager at the same time One thing is certain, he can have many run-ins with the umpires and not be broke on pay day. Special trains for the trips around the circuit would easily he within his means, and he could buy a new spaper 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.
