| Butte is suspended until word has
been received from the national bsard
| which meets today. The P. N, L.
trouble will be one of the first mat
tiers to be taken up and the result
will determine whether the league
will be under national protection or
be forced into outlawry by friends
of Lucas.
The league will go ahead just the
same. Charley Lane OF Butte stands
| ready to take Wilmot's franchise and
says If 1T is turned over to him he
will at once wire McCloskey induce
| ments to drop Lucas and the make
shift league and take charge Of the
Butte team.

was up to Jerry McCarthy's train
ing quarters yesterday afternoon and
watched the boy from the Walkerville
hilltops work out.
It's surprising to note the change
in Jerry's work since the early days
| of his training. That boy has surely
developed in wisdom and athletic
skill.
Although Jerry has dropped his
boxing stunt and is combining his
work to road chasing and indoor ex-
ercise he has mapped out a system
Of training which is far superior to
the ordinary work Of the prize fight
ers. He has solved number of
anatomical problems and goes
through a system of stunts which
ought to make his fortune as a physi-
cal culture professor. -
O o o
1t is all hard. fast work, but Is of
a higher order than the usual rough
and tumble training for fight. = In
stead of hard knockabout stunts and
grandstand plays Jerry has evolved a
training system which makes for
suppleness, splendid wind and
muscle stretching such as is seldom
given to the average fighter. In this
jerry has made study and the i'm
provement in his training bears out
the assertion that he knows how to
care for and develop his rugged body.
Q @ Q " "a
Bag punching with Jerry Is not
a grandstand, fancy exhibitIond' On
the contrary, it Is hard, fast work,
every second counting for hard
punching, keen eyesight and speed
Then comes footwork for brief
spell, a turn with the Indian clubs
and then his old favorite pastiWe OF
rope skipping. Jerry has always, held
\, 70 he oh xyNt@
skipping and has evolved a lot of
fancy steps, some Of which heftuses
| in his training. To watch jerry skip
| the rope and then fail to express APP
probation Of his really clever work
| is like going out to dinner and fail
ing to compliment your hostes s on
the good cooking. B y

But Jerry sprung new one this
trip. That is his board stunt Jerry
places his feet in toe straps at one
end of a board which is arranged like
portion of a rowing machine. Then.
with his feet held firm, he goes
through body and muscle contor-
lions which can not fail to bring
into play every muscle and cord in
| his body. It's a stunt that shows
just how hard the gentleman boxer"
Is working his think tank to benefit
his body. .t:
Q o Q
Today ended the training Of the
two men and both are ready for the
great battle tomorrow night at the
athletic club gym.
The betting Is still favoring Nc
Carthy, but there is moro Reilly
| money in sight just now.
O Q @
Eddie Quinn will referee the go to-
morrow night. The circus seats have
| been placed in the gym and a good
ring erected. There is every prospect
of a big house.
The preliminaries will all be be-
tween club amateurs, but in these
will be another go between Peterson
and George Douglass on the same or
der which made their bout better
than even the main event of the Nc
Carthy Green go.
