LITTLE INTEREST IN BOXING
Interest in boxing is gradually dying
out, the Ryan Mccoy mess being one
cause; the warm weather with plethora
of high-class contests the other. Nc
Govern and Dixon drew a comparatively
small house, although it was not the
best drawing card in the way of match
making that could have been arranged.
McGovern was anxious to visit ST. Paul,
as he had partly promised, but was anxi-
Gus to get back to New York to train for
Feank Erne, and the Sharkey-Ruhlin con-
test was another attraction, all the East
ern contingent here seeming to believe

There is a great deal of interest here
among sportsmen as to the result of
w. r. Hearst's newspaper venture in
Chicago. He has promised to start new
daily and Sunday paper here-the Chicago
American-and the first number will ap-
pear early in July.
In anticipation of Mr.. Hearst's methods.
the Daily News is publishing a o'clock
sporting extra" in red ink and fxings.
The full racing and baseball results of
the day are given, and the venture is
meeting with great success, due largely
to the never-tiring efforts of the success
full publisher-Victor A. Lawson-and his
untiring assistant-Managin Editor Fay,
who seems to know what the people want
and how to furnish it better than the
average newspaper man. Mr.. Hearst will
have hard row to hoe in bucking such
combination, and the sports are bet
ting to 1 on Lawson and Fay, with no
takers.
George Siler, the veteran referee, was
offered $50 per to write only fight stuff
for the new paper, but the Tribune went
Hearst $40 better and retains Georges
services. w, w. Naughton, of San Fran
cisco, will be sporting editor of the
American. This gives some idea of what
may be expected in newspaper circles.
particularly in the local sporting field,
