FOUR GOOD BOXING BOUTS.
Arranged for July and August b,
Savannah Athletic Club.

Arranged for July and August by
Savannah Athletic Club.
Al McMurray. matchmaker of the Sa-
vannah Athletic Club has finally con-
cluded arrangements for the following
bouts, to be held within the next few
weeks:
Tommy Feltz VS.. Kid Beebee, July IL.
Owen Zeigler VS.. Jack Bennett, July
IS.
Tommy Feltz VS.. Andy Daley, July
25.
Tim Callahan VS.. Ed Lenny, Aug. 1.
In addition 20 these matches, it
is possible that Zeigler will be matched
against Hugo Kelly, Eddie Santry
against Tim Callahan. and Billy Rotch-
ford against Tommy Feltz for bouts to
be pulled off later in the season.
OF the men who are already matched
but one is unknown to the Savannah
patrons of the game, and that is Bee
bee. He is a youngster who halls from
Philadelphia, the home of some of the
cleverest men in the business, and if
any guarantee is wanted as to his abil-
managing him ought to give it. Dough-
erty doesn't tie up with dead ones. 3"
That the Kid, too. has confidence in
his powers is shown by a former offer
he made to meet Feltz and stay fif-
teen rounds or forfeit claim to any part
of the gate receipts.
Jack Bennett, of course, is remem-
bered here. because of the two excep-
tionally clever bouts that he put up
when he met Jack Daily more than a
year ago. Daley's clever work two
weeks ago, when he won the decision
over Tommy Feltz is still too fresh
in the minds of the patrons of the
game to need to be recalled. Lenny
and Callahan. too, have appeared
here before, Callahan once when he
went twenty-round draw with Len
ny, and Lenny, twice, in the match
with Callahan, and later, when he
knocked out Joe Fairburn.
There are plenty of clever men who
are anxious to come to Savannah, said
McMurray, and the outlook is that
there will, be no want of bouts of
first-class order from now on. Nc
Murray, by the way, is thinking of
opening up q sporting club in Cam
bridge, going into a partnership in the
venture with Twin Sullivan.
Though it is not generally known
Tommy Feltz is as clever a jockey
as he is boxer. He has had lots of
experience with the ponies" and will
demonstrate his ability as Jockey La
Dor Day. Sept. 4, when he will ride

GOLD HEELS THE WINNER.
RIDDEN BY ODOM sIIEWEE HORSE
PROVED A FLYER.

Made New Worlds Record OF
2:O4 3-5 on Circular Track and
Came Home AN Easy winner of the
Brighton Handicap-Carrying 12O
Pounds He Made One of the Pref
TEST Races of the Year.
New York, July 5.-On a track that
was lightning fast. and before a crowd
of $4,000 people, f. c. McLewee &
Co.'S Gold Heels, favorite in the bet
ting at Is to TO- galloped home an easy
winner in the Brighton handicap at
the Brighton Beach race track to-day.
He not only lowered Jack Points rec
ord of 2:04 3-5, made in 1900. but estab-
lished new worlds record for a cir

within 2-5 of a second of the world S
record (2:03A), made by Banquet in
1890, with los pounds up, on the straight
course at the Monmouth Park track.
The performance of Gold Heels was
really wonderful considering that he
was carrying 1875 pounds. There is no
telling how fast this great horse could
have run If Odom had ridden him out.
The field that made up the handicap
was small and select. Gold Heels was
always a consistent favorite for the
race at 10 to 10, with Morningside sec
ond choice, at 4 to l, and the Keene
entry, Port Royal. next in demand,
at to l. The start was prompt and
good. Blues was first to show with
Gold Heels second, Northern Star third
and Herbert fourth. Turning into the
back stretch Northern Star had day
light between him and his field, with
Blues in second position. Herbert
raced up to third place. This order
was maintained down the back
stretch. At the three-quarter pole
Herbert had his nose in front, with
the favorite following. and Ten Can
dies, who was slow to begin, in third
place. Turning into the stretch, Odom
got the favorite in the lead and from
there to the wire he was never in
trouble winning easily by half a length
from Blues, who was a head in front
of Argregor, who closed very gamely
under a terrific drive. Summaries:

mile and three fourths, over seven

to be true. Dublin will soon have four
banks. For several years there have
been two banks in this city and early
in August the First National Bank will
begin business. 1t is now said that
Mr.. Z. F.. Rentz of SwainsborO will,

business in Dublin. making four banks
in the city Recently Mr.. Rentz pur-
chased some valuable city property in
Dublin and announced that he would
soon make his home here. He is in
the banking business in Swainsboro
and this fact gives color to the ru-
NOR.
The news has reached the city of
the burning of the residence of Mr..
L. ]. Hogan, near Dudley this county.
Mr.. Hogan and family took tea with
a neighbor and returned home about
II o'clock. Everything about the house
was apparently all right when the fam
lily returned home but in a short time
thereafter the rear of the house was
discovered to be on fire. Every effort
was made to save the dwelling and
furniture, but it was impossible to do
it. The house was insured for $1,000
and the furniture for 5000.

Striking Metaphors introduced by

From the New York

Washington. June 29.-Congressmen
are enriching the English language by
some new and striking metaphors. In
resentative Corliss of Michigan, the
vociferous champion of the proposal
to have the government duplicate the
work of private company which is
now laying a cable across the Pacific,

of progress in the Pacific be shackled

A "shackle" is defined as "a ring or
band enclosing the ankle or wrist, and
