The first of these was shot on a right

not display his usual Eameness and
seemed bit shy. He was knocked down
several times in the early part of the
game by some of the youngsters and did
not plunge into the fray as of yore.

Charley Haughton departed for Chicago
last evening on Il tour of inspection. That
is he intends to make the rounds of the
boxing resorts in the city by the lake and
see Just what material is available for
prize fighting here.
What he would like to discover in partic-
ular is just what keeps Benny Yanger
from fighting Hugh McPadden. The lat
ter is willing to fight Yaneer. and is even
willing to concede an unequal distribution
of the purse, win or lose, with Yanger
taking the long end.
The fact that Yanger was lucky not to
have a verdict handed down against him
in his fight with McPadden at Detroit is
probably what is keeping the Italian boxer
out of the ring with McPadden as an OPP
ponent. Yanger was declared the winner
i'm that battle but most of those present
stated that the fight was a Chicago"
affair. with McPadden clearly the man
who was entitled to the decision.
