The sports os Vancouver. II. C.. have
been In sew over the pedigree o. Jack
Downey, who is matched TO night Jack
Green Of Seattle twenty rounds. The
tight was scheduled 10 take place August
p But has been postponed until the 8th.
X appears that q question arose 10
whether Downey was Downey or some
other person. Matters were complicated
by the publication Of an Associated Press
dispatch stating that Danny Mcbride de-
feated Jack Downey before the Greater
New York Athletic Club last Monday night
in a iwenty-round contest. Downey was
in superb condition or Mcbride would
have put him out In only one round did
Dowaey have tho better Of the argument.
There has been disposition Oh the part
Of the Vancouver sporting men To look up
on the fight between Green and Rowney
with suspicion, the foundation being the
trouble ofer 'Downeys' Identity / am
firmly convinced that this suspicion does
the pugilists an injustice. but at the same
time do not feel positive that "powaey"
5as treated the public fairly in statements
as to his name and record. I met him
once In Seattle when ne told me that his
object IN coming to the Pacific Northwest
Vas Ia secure a match with Jack Green.
He told ne that he had fought draw
with Dixon. I knew that Jack powrey
was In the East or had been there only a
few days before "Downey" called on me.
| asked him about the other powney and
ne said that he was not the one who had
been in evidence around New York late
Is. He stated specifically that ne was
from BROOKLYN ard that the other Daw-
ney was from some other city. the name
