BOXING NOTES.

Tony Ross will be Sam Langford's
opponent in New York July 81 instead
of Joe Jeanette.
Jimmy Gardner was offered chance
to box Jack Blackburn in New York
July 23, but declined, as the induce
mentS were not good enough.
Joe Cans has been warned by his
physician that he must cut out eating
sweet things, and has been told to reg
late his diet very carefully.
Jim Jeffries is evidently to stick to
his determination to quit refcreeing.
He will not be in the ring when Phil
Brock and Frank Carsey meet in their
25-round battle.
Billy Neail. the manager of Tommy
Burns, will not be able to join the
heavyweight in Australia, as Neail has
been taken to a sanitarium in Monro-
via, Calf, suffering from tuberculO-
sis.
Promoter Sam Berger of the San
Francisco fight trust, has secured the
boxing permit for September, and he
has promised to exclude women from
the arena. The other promoters will
most likely follow suit.
Kid Herman, the Chicago light
weight, who announced his retirement
after Joe Cans beat him in eight
rounds at ToEopah in January, 1907,
wants to come back into the game. He
has asked the Armory A. A. Boston,
to give him a bout.
Stanley Ketchel has accepted the
challenge issued by Bob FitZsimmons.
Ruby Robert the other day issued a
challenge to ketchel, and this 81 the
answer. Fitzsimmons is far too old to
be in the ring, and was years ago when
he fought Jack Johnson. 1t is doubtful
if any club would stage such a bout,
for it would not be q contest.
Tommy Murphy hoped on the scales
the other day at New York and the
beam weighed at 1874 pounds. The
weight for the bout with Rudolph I'm
holZ at the Armory A. A, Boston, on
July % is 1873 pounds. ringside. So Tom
my will have no trouble in making it.
The weight was insisted on by Muir
ply, although UnholZ spoke of 1873
pounds at 3 p. M. Murphy weighed on
bet with Leach Cross, whom he is
to meet at New York next month.

BIG MATCH RACE OFF.
Trotters Sweet Marie and May Ear
Will Not Meet.

Lexington, KY, July 17.-From New
York comes the statement that W. ].
Andrews denies having any connection
with the proposition to race Sweet
Marie against May Earl. If that be
the case, somebody has been signing
Andrews name to kilograms without
authority. Mike Bowerman, trainer of
May Earl, made statement Of the
matter and displayed the kilograms
and letters he has received.
Il have not heard from Andrews
since July z. but this morning l got a
letter from John Splan, written Sat-
urday at Poughkeepsie, in which he
suggests that for certain reasons It
would be best to let the matter drop.
/ am sorry there is seemingly no
chance for a meeting with Sweet
Marie, for May Earl is as sure to beat
her as gun is iron. 1t isn't what she
was last year. but what she is now that
l am rating her on. She has shown
me IL miles this year in better than
21O, and one of these in 2,05, and that
is not the limit of her speed. I am
going to ship her to Detroit. Then
Wen all see what sort of trotter she
is"

YaChtsmen Have Great Times
At Five Islands and BOOthbay

Five Islands, Me, July 1.-THE big
fleet of the Boston Yacht Club which
is on it's annual cruise to Boothbay
Harbor arrived here yesterday after
from Peaks Island. During every bit
of the 27-mile course there was a brisk
northwest breeze which at times blew
up squally and the yachtsmen were
obliged to put in reefs. Off Cape Small
nearly all the boats struck it extreme
ly hard and many of them suffered
more or less damage, one of them in
particular, the Clique, owned by Com
modore Reuben X. Dyer of the Port
land Yacht Club, which lost top
mast.
Upon arrival here the combined
fleets. there being several from the
Port and Yacht Club accompanying
the Bostonians, We're joined by the
two big cabin cruisers, Topaz II, Cap
tain Charles w Clifford Jr, anu
Hopalong, Captain Sewall w Percy,
both Of the kennebec Yacht Club, each
OF WnDIl were presented WIN me
handsome club pennants of the Boston
Yacht Club. These pennants are long
streamers of blue bunting, measuring
two feet by 10 feet and in which are
worked in white letters "B Y. c.
Cruise 190S.''
After all the craft had come to
anchor the yachtsmen went ashore
where they become the guests of Com
modore Edward P Boynton of the Bos-
ton Yacht Club, who has summer
home here, and who entertained them
with a sumptuous shore dinner. Then
the craft We're Illuminated and the
sight last evening was most engag-
ing one. There was a grand display of
fireworks, while cannon doomed, bombs
exploded and rockets were thrown in
all directions There was also big
ball at ROwe's hill
The yachts in Thursdays run over
from Peaks Island finished in the fol-
lowing order:

MANGO BESTS O'CONNELL
IN SIx-ROUND BATTLE

New York, July 17.-Willie Mango,
the fast little New Yorker outpointed
Jeff O'Connell, the English feather
weight, in the star bout at the Olym-
pic A. c. last night. Mango outweigh
ed the Englishman by about IL pounds,
and this gave him an advantage in the
milling.
O'Connell forced the fighting in the
early stages of the six-round go, but
Mango evaded the Englishmans PUSHES
and used a right uppercut with such
telling effect that he slowed OConnell
down in the last few rounds. HIS long
range fighting tactics and hard
punches, while they failed to hoor
O'Connell gave the New Yorker the
better Of the fight
In the preliminaries Terry Edwards
beat Joe Rogers. John Bailey fought
Young Goldie a draw and Jack Kelly
and Kid Wilson fought a draw.

UNHOLZ AND MCFARLAND
MAY MEET ON COAST

Chicago, July 17.-Baron Long, part
ner of Jim Jeffries in the Vernon Fight
Club at Los Angeles, is in Chicago to
match Rudy Unholz with Packey Nc
Farland for a battle on the coast. I'm
holZ is in Boston working for his fight
with Tommy Murphy, but his repre-
sentative here is empowered to sign
for him, and it is practically certain
that an agreement will be reached.
Unholz thinks he has it on the stock
yards boy, and for long time haa
been eager to meet him. Mcfarland
has not shown great liking for a
bout with the Boer, but it is possible
he is more favorably inclined that way
now

Farrell asked Griff the reason. Griff
said that Hogg had nothing but was
ordered to use him against st. Louis.
The result was a slaughter.
Then Farrell is said to have turned
on the player and ordered his suspen-
sion, a thing Griffith declined to rati-
fly, saying it was against his principles
to take a players money from him.
From that point on the breach widened
until conditions became impossible for
tho little manager. But he did not de-
sert the sinking ship as many have
imagined.

Our Investment In Europe.

The postal authorities recently made
public the fact that over $7.OOOOOO
was sent home ito the folks" In 1907
by the Irish living in the United
States. Some Of this money went into
the Golfers Of steamship companies for
tickets to bring out more immigrants
from Ireland. However Il was spent.
Europe got it and got millions more
from Italian. German and Norwegian
immigrants and settlers here. Every
year there is a stream Of money earn
ed in this country going the same way.
But perhaps. without our intending 1t.
this Is the wisest investment we can
make with the returns on immigrant
labor.
member Of the British parliament
recently declared that every Irish i'm
migrant is worth $3.50 10 America.
Some immigrants from certain other
lands are not worth anything. but are
detriment. yet, throwing these out
Of the account. we are sending Europe
only a fair dividend upon the labor
capital which we get from there. II is
the expectation Of sending money
back home that brings the majority
OF the very best immigrants here. So
long as the chance Of doing so brings
them and keeps them and tempts 9th
ers to come we need not complain IN
less they shall dIsplace native laborers
and swell our ranks Of unemployed.

Disputes between labor and capital
In both Canada and England were set
tied last year by voluntary arbitration
to an extent which should encourage
the hope that strikes and lOckouts may
soon become extremely rare and per-
