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 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.

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. • • • ALONG In the fall some lime Joe 1 * 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 save his first battles in this campaign will he decided within easy reaching distance for New Start •he*!- +•+ d*e+ 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 lias he 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 thing in most businesses o.* professions. Joe has a lot of friends 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 critical stage and recovery is expected, 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. DISBROW IS WINNER. GALVESTON. TEVAS. July 29.—The '‘-mile sweepstake race, a free-for-all for a purse of $5,000. w'lll be continued at the Galveston beach automobile course this afternoon. Louis Disbrow. driving a Simplex, won the first leg of the race yesterday, averaging 71.28 miles on hour for 100 miles. POLO MATCH. NARRAGAN SETT PIER, R. I., July 29.—In one of the closest and hardest fought polo games played this year, the Cooperstow'n team de feated Rock-Away 6 1-2 goals to 5 1-4 in the first round of the senior championship matches game at the 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.

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. * • • F OLLOWING is the program for to night: First Event.
