Jack DOnnely Will Have Another
Chance at Jerry Mccarthy
Next Month.
CHALLENGES OUT GALORE.


II the present arrangements are car
rled out Jerry Mccarthy and Jack
Donnelly will meet In 90 round fight
at Pocatello on the 10th Of next month
This is a chance Cor which Donnelly
claims TO have been seeking for many
months. It viii be remembered that
the pair met IN this city several months
ago and what Jerry did to Jack was a
plenty with more added. Since that
time Donnelly he's been North and
East; met and defeated some good
men; claims to have improved greatly
and now believes he can whip the
tough Walkerville lad. For some time
he has been In Pocatelo, where it is
reported he is well thought OF and has
friends who are willing to back him
20 the extent OF $500 against Mccarthy.
He hurled challenge after challenge to
Mccarthy through the latter's manager,
S. j. Kelley. but he turned q fead ear
to Jacks appeals until the latter stat
ed that he had deposited $500 or $3.50
as an evidence of good faith that the
balance Of the cash was forthcoming.
When Kelley learned this he lost no
time In clinching the match and in
formed Donnelly that Jerry would
fight him on the date name sick or
well. II now looks as though the bout
was go The general opinion among
local fight fanis Is that Mccarthy VIII
have an easy time In polishing of Dom
nelly, They admit that Jack may have
improved some, but they call attention
TO the fact that Mccarthy has also
been on the road OF pugilistic progress
sion. The men will fight straight
Marquis of Queensbury rules, and will
weigh in at 1916 pounds at o'clock on
the afternoon of the contest.
During the week, Kelley issued chal-
lenges, on behalf Of Mccarthy, to PHIL
adelphla Tommy Ryan and to Jack
O'keefe lie told them that Mccarthy
would be pleased to meet them any
time In December or as soon as possi-
BILE He Insists that Jerry's opponent
shall weigh not more han las pounds,
and that straight rules shall govern
Both Ryan and OKeefe replied that
they would be pleased to meet the
Walkervllle Pet and that the terms
stipulated by Kelley were perfectly
agreeable to them II l<elleys plans
30 through, Mccarthy will meet Ryan
or O'Keefe here on the night of De-
cember 4. There VIII be no bouts hero
until that time, but local fight fans say
that the game viii be reopened before
the advent Of a new year In the event
that the plans now laid miscarry il Is
quite probable that Mccarthy will "a
TO the coast and take on such welter-
weights as care to face him In the
squared circle owing to Jerry's re-
cent Illness, the proposed bout with
Jack Dean will either be called off OF
postponed to later date, Tie says
he can not afford TO take any chances
with a man of Deans callber unless
his condition Ia absolutely perfect.
