I T would require considerable ad
vertising to draw attention to a
glove contest between white hopes
Eckblad and Chlarlglion, would It?
But If you announced a bout between
Gunboat Smith and Jim Flynn It
would be different.
A glance at the record book will
ehow that Andrew Chiariglion Is Jim
Flynn’s rightful name, and according
to reports from New York it has been
discovered that Gunboat Smith is a
Dane, and that he was christened Ed
ward Eckblad.
They F*ay Manager Jim Buckley Is
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 Eckblad—was born in Mlllc/i,
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 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 Flow's."
• • •
TF Flynn is in fairly good shape, he
A 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 A1 Kaufman, Carl
Morris and other men much bigger
than hl'rrelf. Gunboat, like Kauf
man and Morris, is* at his best when
permitted to stand away and measure
his man. It may be that Smith will
catch Flvnn with 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 Los
Angeles tamed his stubborn pride and
took much of the starch out of him.
It w’as 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 danh.

Four Hitters of ‘Bull’
Will Get Check Aug. 3
August the third, quite mild of the
skies, has been duly Immortalized by
Mr. B. Harte, but the chances are
that a certain four ball players In the
Southern League will look forward
to that day next month for reasons
quite apart from the remarkable poem
of the Heathen Chinee.
Four hitters of the well-know r n
“Bull” signs in Southern League parks
will be awarded their prizes on that
day.
Here are the lucky riflemen:
Joe Ward, of the, Memphis club,
w’ho hit the “Bull” In his home town
April 26, thereby proving a swatsman
1s not without honor even in his own
precinct; and Ernest Walker, Rudy
Baerwald and R. H. Shanley, all of
the Billlkens. Walker hit the big
©ign at Memphis June 15, while the
other two selected their home lot as
the proper setting for their display
of prowess, June 20 and 21, respec
tively.
Each batsman will receive a check
for $50.

Believes He Has
By Ed W. Smith.
CHICAGO, July 29.—There may yet
be a llghtweiglfi champion of the
world hailing 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 gome 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 hooks, and knows pretty
well what they contain. That’s w'hy
he knows it’s going to be a mighty
serious task ahead of him.

J OE wandered into tow r n 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 San Francisco
and Denver, stopping off at San Fran
cisco to see the Ritchie-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 F*rcnch Market in New Orleans,
is not in good health, and Joe w'ants
to see him.

here now and expects to make more.
* * •
T 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 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
I 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 me how he looked
to me, and I 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.
• • •
<4 \X7 OULDN’T I like to have had
vv 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 ho 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
\itt, second baseman of the Detroit
league baseball club, Is seriously ill with
la grippe here: His physican said to
day his condition had not reached the

but the player will probably be out of
the game until fall at least.
GADSDEN TO RETAIN TEAM.
GADSDEN. ALA., July 29.—Gadsden’s
baseball tean will not be transferred to
Xewnan, Ga., to play the remaining
games scheduled. Local fans have se-
oured contributions of $500 for the sup
port of the team for the remainder of
the season.

GALVESTON. TEVAS. July 29.—The

POLO MATCH.
NARRAGAN SETT PIER, R. I.,
July 29.—In one of the closest and

feated Rock-Away 6 1-2 goals to

MIX TO-NIGHT
L OS ANGELES, July 29.—A small
army of riding celebrities will
he on hand at Vernon arena to
night to see Leach Cross-Matty Bald
win scheduled tw'enty-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 w'ay 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.
Here Is a Player
With $4,000,000
SACRAMENTO. CAL., July 29.—
Since Bill Kenw'orthy, the second-
sacker of the Sacramento club, has
been notified that he is heir to $4,-
000,00, there has been considerable
speculation ap to what his plans for
the future will be.
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 is certain, he can have
many run-ins with the umpires and
not he 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’s a pretty good bet
that the $4,000.00 hall player will lead
Artie Shafer, of the Giants, when it
comes to receiving perfumed notes
from the fair fans.
Thirty-Minute Race On To-night
+•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+
Glenn Says He’ll Beat Luther
F OR 30 minutes to-night at the
Motordrome five two-men
teams will whirl around the
wooden saucer at an 85-mll6-an-hour
clip. Barring accidents, this will be
by far the most exciting e^ent 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 j»a .-
ners. The man riding has to come )ff
the track onto the flat space in front
of the paddock and touch his partner
on the shoulder before the latter can
take up the sprinting.
The early arrivals to-night will
grab the s*eats in front of the paddock
as this w'ill enable them to witness the
“relieving.”
Here is how the teams are made up:
Graves and McNeil, Schwartz anti
Lockner, Shields and Richards, Luther
and Lewis, Renel and Glenn.
* • •
DUT the 30-minute race is not the
only event carded that is attract
ing attention. The 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 the
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 i«* 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.
