 Y Detroit, Mich, Nov 12.-By getting the decision over Tommy Feltz of Brooklyn last night Joe Cherry of Saginaw, Mich, earned the right to have 8. bout with Frank Neil, champion bantam weight pugilist of the world. Neil had agreed that he would meet the winner of last nights fight before the Metropolitan Athletic club of De- troite and both men fought fast and hard for the decision. Cherry landed more often than Feltz and though both men finished strong, Referee Eddie Ryan's decision was. in favor of the Michigan man and was popular with the big crowd that nearly filled the armory. Feltz, after the fight, de- clared that the decision was rank robbery.
 Jack aSullivan, the welterweight champion of New England, who is to be Jack O'Brien's next opponent, writes from his home in Cambridge. Mass, that he is fast rounding into form for the fight. He expects to knock O'Brien out.
 Eff Gardner comes to Fitz as he came to me he will go down and out says Root. Bob is a wonderful fight CT. consider him the best in the world at this weight. He is about due to lick George, and I don't think the fight will go beyond five rounds. It is not likely that I can teach Fitz any thing, only post him about Gardners style and blows
 Marvin Hart, the Louisville heavy weight, after an absence of several months from the roped arena, is to try conclusions with Joe Choynski in a six round bout in Philadelphia November 16 Hart, who is now under the man agem ent- of Jack Mccormick, is coni- dent he will polish off Choynski, as he is looking ahead to a match with Jack Munroe and also with the winner of the Fitzsimmons- Gardner fight. Hart is also anxious for another meeting with Root, who he thinks unjustly re- ceived a decision over him.
 
 smashed into bits by the receipts of the Johnson -AIcyey contest. The sum divided by the principals was nearly double the largest amount ever record ed for the proceeds of a pugilistic ex- hibition heretofore in Los Angeles. In all $7,6O0 was cut between the club and the fighters Their share was 60 per cent, and they split it 50. to 40. YFSr.s Tnh ser McVey's $1,864, and the clubs S2,94O. Pity this. kind of a game has been ruined by politics.
 Jim Scanlan, the Pittsburg heavy weight, who has been campaigning an Australia for the past two years, was badly beaten in fifteen rounds by Peter Felix, the colored champion of the an- tipodes.4 recently. Scanlan was thor oughIy outclassed and resorted to foul tactics. winding up by biting his op- ponent. He was at once disquailnef! by the referee. Jim has declared his intention of coming home in the near future. but he had best stay where he is unless he can fight fair. We have enough of the other kind already.
 Kid Carter, the Brooklyn heavy weight, and Marvin Hart of Louisville are matched to battle fifteen rounds before the Criterion A. 0. of Boston on the night of December 1. Carter, al though he twice lost decisions to Joe Walcott in Boston recently, is. a big favorite in the Hub. Both Carter and Hart are fighters of the same style, being devoid of science, and depending principally on a stray wallop to reach a vulnerable spot and win the battle for them. The meeting of this pair should prove very interesting.
 Champion Young Corbett left for San Francisco yesterday afternoon to get ready for his ight with Eddie Han lon, which is to be decided in San Francisco next month. Corbett in the last few weeks has been taking excel lent care of himself and already is in good condition. He will work hard to get into real trim, as he realizes that Hanlon is a tough customer The two fought twenty-round draw recently. Corbett says that if he whips Hanlon he will give Ben Jordan chance If the Pacific coast clubs will offer purse and the Englishman is willing; also that he would probably meet some other good man in San Francisco if Jordan's services couldn't be secured.
 Philadelphia Tommy Ryan is feeling the effects of the stigma ''faker," which he earned in his recent fight with Billy Rhoades in Omaha. He tried to square himself with the police and newspapers, but failed. II can't fight as long as Omaha brands me as a. faker,'' he complained. 'Set me right and will leave town" In reply he was told to leave the city in an hour on penalty of arrest for vagrancy. Rhoades escaped arrest by working in freight depot. Ryan may have to hustle freight, too, as fight promoters in Salt Lake, where he Is billed to appear, cancelled the engagement on account of the fake with Rhoades. Ryan has applied for work in the freight houses. Other pugilists given to taking things 'easy" while in the ring will do we'll to take this to heart.
