spcc,al Correspondence Of Tho Sunday Republic.
New York. April 5-The prospect for the
contamination this summer by 4 tight OF
the match between jim Jenr!es and Gus
Rubin seems a good deal improved. 1t now
looks as though these big fellows VIII be
brought together on July 4 In one of the
San Francisco athletic clubs. Billy Madden
feels SO certain OF this that he and Rubin
left the city last week for the West to
confer with Jcffries about tho matter. All
that Is needed now IL the offer of a purse
sufficiently large to make it attractive 70
bring the big fellows together on the Pacific
Coast.
That chocolate-colored son Of Ham. Joe
Cans. had an easy job of 1t defeating Mar
tin F~lah.rty in Baltimore last Monday
right. Flaherty's only hope lay in his
ability to set close to his dusky competitor
and punch for punch with him about the
region of the heart and stomach. He tried
hard 10 DO this. and he angered the referee
repeatedly by holding on TO his man to keep
him from getting away from him. Finally
the police Captain In charge OF the ring
juuil1d into IL. ara, Selling Flaherty by
the throat. forced him back to the ropes to
break one Of his holds. II is 4 pity pugfl.sm
has to lie 1T the mercy of such blue-coated
~ruf,iaDs - this police Captain. He should
be broke" for his Interference. If Flaherty
was foulinS his man. the referee should
have ruled against him.. Police interference
like this. especially in favor OF the local
man. has an ugly look.
IN The fourth round Cans succeeded in
punching his man at long range. and after
he was put to the floor three times by
corkinc hard swings. Fiaher;y's seconds. to
! save him from a knockout. threw UP the
srcrge. II arrears that Martin was com
pietely outciassed.
Kid Carter claims that Charley White
was mistaken in deciding that he had
fouled Handle when they Tough. in Con-
necticut recently. The KID says that White
told him he had disqualified him for hitting
! Handler low with his right.
Now, the fact of the matter is said he.
that l hit Handler under the hear, with
my right, and then ripped in a left-hand
| uliercut. The blow did rot alight on Hand
ler's groin. as claimed. but considerably
higher up"
Carter also says he got the worst Of the
fcfereeing in Louisvilie: also where Tim
Hurst permitted Jack Bonner to rough him
in the clincnes. iii direct violation OF the
4ueensbeTry rules.
Carter is only 10 years old. and he is a
very sim young man. He seems to have 4
bright fistic future.
In my letter last week. in commenting on
the fact that Jettries was hardly fair in

wants i match with him. on the ground
that he had faxed with Mccoy while
being perfectly willing 10 take on Bob Fftz-
simmons. who acknowledges the fact that
Jim Hall and he faxed in Australia. and
who. l said. was suspected of having made
Ian arrangement with joe Choynskl in
Boston. by which their bout was TO be de-
c.ded in accordance with that arrangement,
and not a. Danny Butler used to say.
Strictly on the mems merits is thus cor,

10 mako sure he went to Captain Bin Daily. who
was to referee. and wanted to Impress on him
what tho understanding was. Captain Bill was a
little warm over it and said to Eltz:

A gentleman whose descriptive powers
would make the fortune of n space writer,
L was IN tG1iS at Inc pulBTedk OF INC va
Prussian War. Talking about it he said to
me:
I'VE think that the English tongue is
the most expressive of all. Perhaps it Is.
| but there are times when French sentences
arc wonderfully epigramatic. This was for
cib,v brought TO my mind one night when
I was attracted by a placard promulgated
by the War Department authorities then in
power. 1t was to foreigners and the par
ticuIar expression which attracted my at
t.ntion was. All idle mouths must depart
the city In other words, no foreigner
could live In Paris and eat its food unless
he was willing to fight in the defense Of the
city. / was one who didn't feel interested
enough in Paris at the time TO shoulder
arms in her defense. so l left next day for
England.
Tom O'Rourkc is a~ctuated by the same
idea. He has no desire to manage fighters
who won't fight and he keeps those ct his
STABLE pretty actively engaged in fstic
pursuit. This week he gathered under his
wing the erratic Kid Mccoy, who has beer
