ONE VIEW OF 1T.
The Mayor of Cleveland has Joined
the parcel of cranks who think boxing
brutal, but like to see ye gentle game
of foot ball and other sports of that
character. says the New York Tele-
graph. Oscar Gardner and kid
Broad were scheduled to box 20 rounds
al Cleveland, Oct. IL. Joe Macias,
manager for Broad, received a tele.
gram yesterday stating that the bout
was off, as the Mayor declined to issue
a permit. Macias loses 5000 or 5000
for training expenses, and the Mayor
of Cleveland loses what little reputa-
tion for fairness he possessed. He
will not refuse permit for the series
OF foot ball massacres that will be
seen in Cleveland this fall.
HUMAN PUSH BALL.
The "human balloon" Ed. Dunk
horst, is swollen to twice his normal
size as a result of breaking two ribs
for decrepit Dayton boxer named
Dan Bayliffe. Puffed by his achieve
ment, Dunkhorst issued challenge
| to fight any of the heavyweights of
the world, Ruhlin Mccoy or Sharkey
preferred. A credulous Dayton writer
says: ut Ia likely that Dunkhorst
will push the professional work from
this date, as he is confident of land
ing among the top notchers in the
course of short time. His present
weight is probably 260 pounds, but
he ia as easy on his feet as welter-
weight fighter, and is practically a
solid mass of muscle He certainly
can stand an unlimited amount of
punishment" The idea of that pugi-
lstic push ball ever getting among the
top-notchers of the heavyweight class,
is calculated to cause merrlment ev,
erywhere except In Dayton.
FERNS INJURED.
Jim Rube) Ferns, who is training
at Detroit for his coming contest with
Nlatty Matthews for the worlds vel
terweigbt championship, has been ad-
contest postponed because of the dan
ger Of blood poisoning from a small
bruise on the back of the shoulder.
Theeinjury Is not a severe one, but
there are marked evidences of poison-
ing aud DR. Walker, one of the best
specialists, told Ferns yesterday after
noon that If he did not stop training
n permanent injury. Ferns according
ly asked the Cadillac A, c. to post
pone the contest until October 10th.
This the club agreed To after hearing
the physlclan's report, and at once mo-
tihed Matthews, who is training In
New York. Up to late hour last
night no answer had been received,
but II is believed that Matthews will
agree to the change rather than lose
the match
Ferns was seen at his training quar-
ters at the Rowland last evening and
said that the hrulse which has caused
the trouble was sustained In his pre-
vious meeting with Matthews here a
month ago. hut he had no fear about
being all right when he signed articles
for n return match. Ii was not until
he got down TO hard work that the
arm became painful. This was due,
the doctor said, to a superheated con-
dition of the blood, as well as the Sc,
we're strain on the muscles incident to
his training, which includes sparrine
and wrestling with big Denny Murray.
II hope Matthews consents to the
change" said Ferns In conclusion, "for
am really anxious to meet him and
unless he agrees will have to declare
; the match of indefinitely will Ger.
; tainly be all right by October 10th,
and will fignt then, regardless of how
my arp is think would have to be
crippled pretty badly before Matthews
! could heat me-
