New York eight years ago when Miss
Melville was engaged at the eleventh
hour to fill in gap In musical
comedy. She had been presenting for
a season or so a quaint type of coun-
try girl with pigtailed hair and ging-
ham pinafore. She appeared In the
musical comedy and gave New York
ers their first view Of isis Hopkins
1t was an instant hit. In spite Of
this no manager saw anything in the
character but few moments odd
entertainment. Mr.. j. r. Stirling,
now Miss Melvilles manager, saw
the sketch, saw the possibilities in
we'll written, clean and wholesome
rural play without any hodge-podge
or farcical veneer and had a play
written for her. Other managers pre-
dicted a great failure, but the play
went out. 1t has been seen in every
city of the United States: 1t has re.
peated engagements in all the bigger
cities several times and with in
creasing attendance each time. Mr..
Stirling has had fiattering offers to
send Miss Melville to Europe. and
would have done so but for the fact
that theatergoers in this country
wanted the play again and again.
This season Miss Melville has a big
ger production and a better company
than she has ever had and her tour
will include the Pacific coast. isis

gagement of two nights at the Au-
ditorium, beginning tomorrow night.

But there was always something
odd about the rivalry between Nc
Carthy and Nose Lafontise, the boy
with whom he fought. AS l say. Nc
Carthy lost twice, once through a
decision and then on a knockout. But
that didn't prevent the pet from try
ing again and the last two fightSwent
to him in clean victories. IA
Up to that time it was the odd
part. Mccarthy appeared to be I'M
He would go away and lambaste all
corners and then get back to-Bu tie
for defeats or draws
On the other hand. his rival Id
fontise, beat everything that icane
his way so long as he fought in
Butte. Away from home Nose would
lose with sickening regularity. OF
course there was a lot of talk about
those in and out victories, but I'm
inclined to believe that it was all
bosh. Away from home Lafontise
met with poor matchmaking add was
outclassed in most instances In the
same way Mccarthy had to go out Of
his class in order to get a fight at
home.
There's another queer feature about
Jerry. He has the biggest, bulkiest
legs of any welterweight in the coun-
try. AS a matter Of fact, there s
where most of his weight is and it
takes just the hardest kind of road
work for Mccarthy to get down to a
close weight limit. The poor boy has
to do about three times the road
work any other man does and I've
known him to go in and deliberately
forfeit weight money up into the
hundreds rather than keeup the tor
ture of pulling down his extremities.
This torturous way of making
weight got him into the habit Of let
ting go of the training at the wrong
time until it showed that he was get
ting slow on his feet. Then came
ropeskipping to help him out and by
this time l guess Mccarthy is very
nearly premier rope artist.
AS for Green, there's not so much
known of the runty little fighter in
he has been against some good men
and has won-won with knockouts,
too-and those kind of fighters are
always n dangerous quantity, no mat
ter how much they are outclassed.
If the other fellow Is too confident.
He has fought such good little men
as Eddie Santry, kid" Broad, New
York Jack" O'Brien, Willie Fitzger-

Mccarthy, he worked up from the
little fellows and, getting heavier.
was forced out of his real class just
about the time when. with few
pounds Of weight lost without pun
ishment. he might have crawled near
the top.
But there's one attraction at the
show tonight which will please the
local boxers muchly-and that is the
appearance of George Douglass I'M a
preliminary. Georges many admirers
are hoping he is going against some
thing good enough to cause him ia
extend himself.
AS for the other preliminaries,

AS was expected, the attempt to

local betting on the glove contest at
the Auditorium tonight was a failure.
The best the Green people could do
was to hold their man at an even
money proposition, but no bets are
taken at that.
McCarthy's admirers are present
with plenty of money which may find
a resting place at the ringside tonight
but is at present going begging. The
reason for this is that every one who
knows believes that with everything
equal in the way of arrangements
Mccarthy should be an easy winner.

Although there have been some to
figure certain results on the go to-
night, I don't think there is anything
in 1t so far as Mccarthy is concerned.
Jerry is struggling toward the top
Of the weller heap and he can't afford
to lose anything, especially losing it
to one below his class. For this rea-
son look for Mccarthy to go in and
do the trick in less than 10 rounds.

Green Is wiser and faster than he Is
given credit for being.

Mccarthy has wised up consider
ably to some training conditions
about Spokane and this time has
shown his wisdom in bringing with
him his own trainer, Young Thomas.
Days have been when Young Thomas
was in big demand as a trainer of
state CHAMPIONSHIP Of these he
handled several. He was Jack Wade's
trainer when that splendid fighter
was at his zenith as the conqueror
of Utah and Montana aspirants for
lightweight honors. Poor Jack is

Green has been touted as good
able to go some. But to compare him
on form with the Walkerville pet
gives the Montana lad far and away
the best of it. Jerry is bigger and
stronger and about the only chance
Green will have, to my notion, is fast
infighting and rushing, which will
Offset the difference in reach.
