THE RING
"@&e@eeeaGGeeeeeeeeeeee

Jim Franey of Cincinnati has been
matched to fight Frank Mcconnell at

nell could not come to terms, so Franey
was selected instead. Franey will
weigh in at 154 pounds and will be
trained by Danny Needham.
Jack Downey of Brooklyn and Jack
O'Bren of New York will meet again
in the roped arena. They have been en-
gagged by Matchmaker Aleck Browne
to try conclusions in a 25-round bout
at the Coney Island Sporting club on

Homer Selby. Kid McCoy's brother,
recently wrote to Joe Kennedy, the
California heavyweight, asking him to
come East and place himself under his
(Selby's) management. Selby is con-
nected with one of the Gotham boxing
clubs, and the following extract from
his letter IS rather interesting: you
would get the best of it in every pos
sble way when you fought here.
Sharkey has made fortune by being
in with a boxing club where he has
all the best of it. / think l can get you
a fortune in two years time, but, of
course, l would expect to benefit my
self also, and would expect one-third
of the profits.
There may be some argument as to
| who will referee the fight between Nc
Govern and Palmer. Sam Harris, Nc
Governs manager, wants Charley
White. While Harris has no objection
to Brooklyn Jimmy Carroll. the official
referee of the Westchester club, where
the international struggle will be held.
he thinks that White, who has proved
himself to be both honorable and COM
petent, should receive the preference.
| Harris also states that If any one doubts
that McGovern will not get to weight
when he meets Palmer he will agree to
| forfeit $1,000 and call the battle off.
Tommy Ryan, the famous middle
| weight of Syracuse, N. Y, has been
| spending a couple of weeks at Mount
| clemens He appears to be in the best
| of health, and it is evident that he is
| taking perfect care Of himself, as usual.
| RYAN, in this respect, is a splendid ex-
ample for young and aspiring ringsters.
| Tommy's long continued success in the
! ring is due more than anything else to
| the fact that he has religiously side
| stepped the booze.

points to Tommy White in a 20-round
fight and fought a draw a few weeks
ago with Young COrbett. He was born
in 1871 and has been fighting ever since
he was II, but never with any very big
guns of the pugilistic world Before
the fight at Leadville he was promised
match with Tommy White if he de-
feated Dempsey, and this he will no
doubt get on in the near future. Should
he beat White, Mckenna will go after
match for him with George Dixon.

Walter Keene, a pitcher on the Leader
baseball club at Glenham, n. Y, Sa1-
day afternoon, while he was engaged
in playing with his team against the
Fishkill ball team. Keene was occupy

to the ground unconscious, having
broken his arm just below the shoulder.
He was assisted from the field by spec
