TOO MANY FINGERS
IN PIE FOR SCHRECK

CINCINNATI, Sept. 12.-An effort
was made the other day to revive the
proposed fight between Mike Schreck
and Jack Johnson, which was to take
place in London ON October 10. q. F.
Mathison of New York, who is repre-
senting the National Sporting club,
wired Schreck, who is in Reading at
present, to come on to New York, and
that he would take HIM over the pond.
Schreck also heard from Boston man
who was willing to take Schreck to
London. But Mike turned all of them
down, at least for the present. His
reason for so doing is that 200 many
are in, or want to declare in, on the
proposed fight, and all he would have
after the fight was over would be
enough to buy postage stamp to write
home for money. Schreek was seen
last night, and in talking over the af-
fair, said:
''I can Il see my way clear to go 5000
miles without knowing what ] am GO
ing for. No articles have been signed,
no purse has been hung up and no
money sent ON for travelling expenses.
That Is no way of doing business. Then
one man wants 90 per cent, another
per CtAls VI WHAT ain W
get, and what will have after it is
all over. If the London club will hang
up purse, one worth going so far for,
and send the money on to pay my ex-
penses to London and back, why, 1 am
ready to go on. Otherwise Mike will
stay in Reading"

The rndiments of the kick, which
makes the learning of swimming so
easy, can be explained in few min
utes, and the beginner can make a
satisfactory try after ten minutes
practice. Then by close attention to
the work of good swimmer and CON
slant practice he should be able after
five OF six daily attempts TO attain a
speed that will completely eclipse his
former efforts with the dog fashion
or frog kick method.

PAPKE DRAWS

Tom Jones, the conservative sport

tive statement tonight.

Papke and Jones left on the Owl to-

go to witness tomorrow's lightweight
championship fight between Joe Cans

The middleweight champion will re-
turn to Los Angeles. He and Jones are
to be the guests of Jim Jeffries on a
two weeks deer hunting expedition.
At the close of this outing the Kewanee
man will go into training for Kelley.
Billy will stick to his Venice training
quarters. The seashore resort has made

he will make his headquarters at

Ketchel, soothe rumor ran today, has
changed his plans and will not return

blue corn flowers to the central lights

lights were shaded by pink paper, with

promised to appear en- being guaran.
teed certain sum then, thinking that
he had the management Of the Central
Club in box where. they must put him
on or let the bout fall through, he de-
manded more money.
Fred Smith very properly turned
him down on this and told him that
he could take what he had agreed to
or nothing at all. Fortunately for the
management and the general public a
really classy boy of Reilly's weight
has arrived in town and he will 60 on
in the place of the other pugilist.
His name is Charlie Weber and he
comes off the transport Crook which
left Honolulu yesterday afternoon. This
lad is in Reilly IS class and has, if pos
sible, as good record as the Homo
| lulu favorite. He is only a Riddle,
being just twenty-one years old, yet
he has boxed some very good men and
! sions to his credit.
AS may be expected from such a
youngster, most of his goes have been
over the short route. Only once has
he hit the twenty-round limit and that
was in Australia nearly four years ago,
when he lost narrow decision to Ted
Green, the champion bantam weight of
| Australia.
| Since that time he has put on weight
to considerable extent and now boxes
\ in the lightweight class at about 12S
pounds. At this weight he has met and
defeated some very good men. One of
his best pieces of work was when he
put out Manuel Torres in one round.
This Torres is colored boxer of won
derful agility and strength, and acted
as one of Joe Cans chopping blocks
at the time the colored champion was
preparing for his fight with George
Memsic in Los Angeles. He was, in
fact, considered to be a conner until
Weber met him and ended his aspira.
tons.
Weber has two decision over Johnnie
Frayne, lad who went thirty-rounds
to draw with Murphy, and he has a
draw with fighting Dick Hyland, the
man who sent Eddie Hanlon out of the
game. He has defeated Joe Carroll,
one of the best near champions on the
Coast, and has defeated great many
minor fry in fact he has long and
enviable record for lad of his age.
| Charlie Reilly has watched Weber
box and he states very emphatically
that he is going up against no easy
game. 'One of the gamest and hard
est hitting boys L have ever SEEM says
Reilly and there is genuine respect in
his tones when he says it.
Reilly will continue to work at the
Orpheum under the direction of Bob
Ross, and Weber will start in this
morning on the road and at the Hotel
Baths in the afternoon. The latter has
only eight days in which to get fit but
coming right off a vessel where he has
been working, he is in fairly good trim
and will have no difficulty, so he states
in being perfectly fit by the date OF the
contest.

DIMENSIONS OF
THE SEA WREN

The actual dimensions of the Sea
Wren, pictures of which, in process Of
being built, were published in yester-
days Advertiser, are as follows:
Length over all, ii feet; length,
water line, 13 feet; breadth, extreme,
G feet 91a inches; breadth, water line,
6 feet inches; draught rabbet, 10Y
inches; draught, extreme, foot J

overhang aft, 3 inches; freeboard bow,
2 feet 31s inches; freeboard, least, /
foot, 31a inches; freeboard, stern, /
foot inches; sail area, 224 square feet.
These dimensions will probably be
followed with the exception of the
length, when the boats for local use
are constructed. 1t is thought by most
of the enthusiasts here that a greater
length is required for these waters,
where the surface is comparatively
smooth and the wind strong and
steady.

AUTOS AND AUToIsTs I


Del Taylor, a local automobile dem
onstrator, has gone to Hawaii with the
object of conducting series of expert
,ments with ear on the lava beds.
For this purpose he took four-cylin-
der Mitchell runabout and will take it
all over the island and see what can
be done in the way of taking a car
over the surface of the lava. He has
camera with him and will doubtless
return with very interesting list of
experiences and some excellent pie
lures.
Mr.. Leipsic, with his wife, who came
here couple of months ago with his
big Stevens Duryea from Redlands,
CAL, has returned to the Coast and his
big car is no longer seen on the roads.
An enthusiastic autoist arrived from
Oakland on the Mongolia and will
make stay of about three weeks on
the Islands, motoring round to take in
all the sights. He is n Mr.. Edwards,
and with him is Mrs. Edwards. They
did not bring their own machine, but
have rented an Autocar runabout for
the period of their stay here.

Gently received his six.cylinder Ste

to be considered the best thing since

ing to a minimum and are very sure
