Whats the use. is the way jim
expresses il. 'I don't see any likely
why I should lay around waiting for
one TO be born. The money in the
game gave out, so / quit it, If / was
to stick to fighting long enough some
one would get me. That is, they would

OF all was the charge that Ia delib-

I've been roasted a whole lot and some

There was an organized gang that put

MlCHIGANS STAR FULL

years captain and halfback Of the vie
torious Michigan football eleven. and now
engaged to coach Drake university this

member of the Canton. o.. Independent

Heston. who is now I'm Detroit, does not
deny that the offer has been made, but
refuses to say whether he will accept,
Last fall, after the elose Of the Michigan
season, he was offered 81 600 10 play one
game for the Ohio eleven but refused IL,
thinking IT would jeopardize his standing

TURN THUMBS DOWN
WHEN COPS ARE NEAR

In the suburbs of New York il has
become a common custom for automo-
bilists, travelling la opposite directions.
to warn one another Of the proximity
of bicycle cops. The trouble is OF there
being no gesture for the warning that
is generally understood. A driver who
had just passed some cops waved his
hand in caution TO an approaching
driver recently, but the latter did not
understand and was arrested. A GER
tain New York coterie uses the gesture
of thumbs down." as employed-Sl the
Roman arena of old, to warn others
Of the police presence. This gesture, or
some other, should be adopted univer-
sally, to avoid confusion.

Gardner and Barry show him to be a
hard man to hit.
Willie to Rush; Sehreek to Wait. .
The Chicago mans style of battle
will be TO rush Schreck from the tap
of the gong and always try and get
Schreck to mix. In a fight of this kind
Willie will have the decided advantage.
Schreck on the other hand should and
probably will play waiting game, I'M
til Willie has tired himself out and
then send iii the blow that gets the
money.
Whoever wins viii be the logical
candidate TO meet Marvin Hart and IL
is doubtful if the Kentuckian will be
able to sidestep him. While has two
draws against Hart already and hopes
to land the big fellow In the next bat
tie.
Britt and Nelson at Gonna.
The other fight that is especially in
teresting to Salt Lakers is the coming
for next Saturday afternoon at Colma,
Cal. Interest in this contest is at a
fever heat, not only in Salt Lake. but
all over the country. Britt will enter
the ring a favorite and in spite of the
popularity Of Battling Nelson in this
city he Will rule favorite here. Fight
fans have come to the conclusion that
Britt is always a good man to bet on.
He wins most of his fights before he
gets in the ring and while the present
match apparently is to Nelson's liking.
yet when the test comes IL will be
found that Britt has not been overlook
ing any point
From a financial standpoint the fight
promises to be one of the greatest in
pugilistic history. San Francisco
sports place the house at SIS. 900, and
this much will very likely be taken in
at the gate.
The men are now busily engaged in
the training quarters, but as both have
been preparing for the contest for some
time. they need but little work to get
themselves in shape. 1t is expected
the battle will be one of the greatest
ever fought in America and il is a
lucky individual who will have a
chance to be at the ring side at the
finish.

BIG DOINGS IN
FISTIC WORLD
Two Important Fights on Boards for
Coming Week.
SALT LAKE GETS BUT ONE
WHILE JIMMY BRITT AND BAT.
THING NELSON GO AT CoLMA.
SALT LAKE GETS BUT ONE

The American pugilistic spot light
will be centered on Salt Lake next
Tuesday four days later ii will be
turned toward San Francisco and the
sporting world viii see two of the most
important contests that have taken
place, for some time. IN the contest at
Salt Lake Mike Schreck and John
Willie will battle to see which viii have
the honor of competing with Marvin
Hart for the heavyweight champion
ship-by courtesy-and at the Frisco
end, Jimmie Britt and Battling Nelson
will settle for all time the much
mooted question Of who is the best
man in the world at the legitimate
lightweight limit.
The Frisco fight naturally over
shadows the Salt Lake contest
throughout the country, but in the
local field both are the cause Of much
discussion in pugilistic circles.
Prominent Sporting Writers Coming.
The Salt palace affair promises to
be one OF the best contests ever held
in this city. 1t will probably draw
more outside patronage than any
previous contest and is considered of
so much Importance that sporting
writer's of the reputation OF George
Siler, Lou HOuseman and Otto FlotO
have made arrangements TO be at the
ring side.
SiIer May Referee.
The fact that Siler will be here has
caused a demand by the local sporting
people to secure him TO referee the
contest. With this idea in view, Man
ager Willard Bean wired Siler yester-
day and asked him if he would accept
the position. Siler's reply was to wait
until he arrived in Salt Lake, when
he would consider the question. He
left Chicago last evening for salt
Lake and expects TO be here tonight.
Both the fighters would agree on SileT
and there is no doubt but that his
presence as the master of ceremonies
in the ring would considerably increase
the receipts.
Outcome a Problem.
The outcome of the fight is quite a
problem. While Schreck is the better
known of the two locally, and viii
probably be the popular favorite with
the masses, yet the dope on Willie is OF
the kind that makes one stop and
think before picking possible winner
Confidence of victory marks every
move of both Willie and Schreck as
well as their managers.
When IL comes to condition for the
contest, neither man has any advant-
age in this respect, and both are now
putting in their last ticks for the fight
at their well organized training
camps.
Willie is by far the more husky OF
the two, while Schreck is unquestion-
ably the more clever. Willie has the
weight back of him and also the punch
but Schrecks two fights here with

KING OF BUNCO MEN BROKE
Jimmy McNally, Who Has Handled
Green Goods by the Thousands,
Is Now Down and Out.

Jimmy McNally, once the king Of the
green goods men, has turned uD as a
waiter in music hall at COney Is
land, as keen after a 10-cent tip as he
was in the old days for a 81, 600 come
on"
Jimmy in his prime was clear-eyed
and smart as a steel trap. Today he
is old and shaky and looks the part.
He totters in his walk and his eyes
lack luster. If he gets bed he finds
no fault with the days work.
For at least fifteen years Jimmy was
at the head of the green goods craft.
He started as a steerer for Bonnie
Mcguire, who was a sort OF king in
his time, too. Jimmy saved 5000 and
started in on his own hook. He was
by this time one of the most accom-
plished "steerers" in the game. He
boosted that he could get two or three
"come ons" in a day.
He used only real greenbacks, $4,000
worth for $4,000, and then of course
Switched" the real roll for the phOny.
He made enormous sums, and at one
time is said to have had $500 600 in good
money.
He was a gladstone spender. A wo-
man named Nellie MarOuE GOT tens Of
thousands, ana when last Jimmy
came 10 grief she shook him without
moments thought. So did a lawyer to
whom he entrusted all his affairs and
most of his money, when at last he
fell into the hands of the police. This
was In 1896. There was still 100000 left
of the fortune. and Jimmy put it I'M
reserVedly into the lawyers hands
when his trouble came.
That was the last he ever saw Of it.
He was convicted by Inspector Byrnes,
did his bit" and when he came out of
prison there wasn't a penny of the
money I'm sight. Since then il has been
uphill work for Jimmy.

Fixed Up in the East.
The thing was fixed up week after
the match was made, and the job
came from the east; | want to say
that. OF course a good bunch OF the
west was in on the play but the job
came from the east. When l get IL
handed to me l want to know how 1t
was done, and went around asking
questions when it was all over. /
wanted to know about this fellow,
Wyatt carp. and when l heard his
history ] didn't wonder he was able
TO bluff that gang that night.
Maybe some Of you haven't heard
about the carp boys, so Tn going to
tell you what I learned about them.
There were three of them originally,
and they were born in Illinois. They
went west. and took up with any good
steady Job. There was Wyatt-my
friend-Virgil and Morgan. Wyatt was
town marshal down in New Mexico
Once-Albuquerque L think IL was
and his brothers were handy around.
A gang of COW punchers had been
holding up stages around there a whole
too often. They showed up in Albu-
querque. and were having a whole lot
of fun. when Wyatt collected his two
brothers and a chap named Doc HOl-
liday, and went after them. The out
laws got the worst of IL, but one of
them got away. and two weeks later
he shot Virgil carp at a railroad sta
tiOn. and Doc Holiday got him later.
and came near getting lynched for 1t.
Morgan was, think. shuffied off some
time later, but our good Wyatt is still
living I'm California and taking life
easy. / don't know what he got for
his job, but il was enough TO make
him pull the trick. As far as I could
find out. there was never anything IL
legal about the carp gang. but they
We're looked on as handy men to have
around and worth watching when the
game WAS going round. | don't mean
they were dishonest, but-few people
turned their backs when they played
poker with them.
Says sharkey Was Innocent.
As far as Sharkey himself is con-
cerned, I don't believe he was In on it
TO any extent. Maybe he knew there
was something coming off, but what
he got out of il was cigarette money
TO the big haul; and. besides. Tom isn't
big enough i'm the brain pan TO dope
out hot one like that. I got mine,
and ] know it. but you can make
little easy money If anyone thinks
they get me again with a crooked
referee.
No more Wyatt Earps in mine. III
