the standardization
Battle
BIZ ARTHUR E. DUNNING.

By ARTHUR Il. DUNNING.
Rudolph Unholz, late of South Africa
and now a resident of the country OF
real fighters, blew into town late yes
terday afternoon on his way east. I'm
holz stated almost Immediately that he
had no desire to sign up for a match
with any club or at any terms, as he is
resting up from the effects of the battle
with Joe Cans. The little Boer says he
was injured on the spine in the second
round of his fight with the black cham
pion, and although he rounded into fair
condition he wants little time to re-
pair the injury Shortly before he left
San Francisco the Boer had his back
examined with the X-ray, and found
that the injury, although not serious,
would entail at least two months rest.
Therefore the stocky little conqueror OF
Battling Nelson and George Memsic
will not enter into any ring engage
ments for several weeks.
Unhoiz Is on his way to Davenport,
Iowa, to meet his brother George I'm
holz, for whom he sent money to Ger
many after his first battle here with
George Memsic. The South Africans
brother was conscripted for the army in
the fatherland, and the little fighter
sent his transportation months ago. He
arrived in this country two weeks ago,
and tomorrow night the Boer expects to
leave for the east to see his relative
and to meet his old friends.
After Packey Mcfarland
Not the least of his errands however,
is to secure a match with Packey Nc
Farland. Rudolph stands ready to meet
Packey at the latter's own terms as
regards weight, and all he asks is that
the pork packer make the lightweight
figure. He stands ready to deposit a
side bet of $4,000 with Packey, not only
that he can fight Packey to a draw but
that he can beat him at any distance.
Unholz wants to meet Packey more
than any other fighter, and he is plan
ming to get on with him before Tom
Andrews club in Milwaukee for the
Fourth of July date. This match I'M
questionably would draw sum second
only to the Ketchell-Papke battle. and
there probably will be things doing
when the Boer arrives on State street in
the Windy City.
UnholZ is not at all sensitive about
talking of his fight with Joe Cans. He
issued a warning to the other light
lads. that the champion is good for
five years more as champion.
IF the other men in the 133-pound
division are wise they will give Cans
wide berth for at least that time" says
the stocky little Boer. Il honestly
thought could beat him, but he is too
clever for any of them. outside of Cans
/ think / can whip any lightweight In
the world"
Unholz stated to the writer when he
was in Los Angeles training for his
battle with Memsic that he was conf
dent he could whip Cans, and that the
title was his goal. He re-
alizes that he stretched a peg too far,
however, and sends out a little warning
to the other men in his class.
Picks Cans to Beat Nelson
Scans will stop Nelson in short or
DER" the Boer continued. BAT won't
class with him this time, you will see.
I have here" and Rudolph drew from
his pocket a wallet and exhibited the
necessary paper, "a check for $1,000 to
go as the first deposit for a $4,000 side
bet with Battling Nelson that l can
beat him, and 1 will be glad to make
the match as soon as my back Is we'll.
At present 1 cannot fight anybody"
Unholz still believes he had a chance
to whip Cans had they not stopped the
fight in the eleventh round. He says
he was dazed but could have gone on
for long time and gradually recovered
his strength.
ITO be sure I was dazed. but 1 wasn't
out, as l got up at the count of three.
At first l saw Cans whole family in
front of me, but by the time had been
on my feet ten seconds l was pretty
and full of fight. 1t was
the blow in the second round on the
spine that proved by undoing."
Packey Wants Guarantee
Baron Long of the Jeffries Athletic
club yesterday received telegram from
Silyi Ferretti, manager of Packey Nc
Farland, announcing that the Chicago
man would fight here on the Fourth OF
July only for a guarantee OF $5OO0 1or
his end of the purse. In pursuance Oh
his policy of picking only ''deaders" on
which to make a reputation, Packey
has persistently refused to meet I'm
holz, Nelson, Brock or any of the good
lads, under anything like reasonable
terms.
The public is tired of Packey's STALL
ing tactics, and the time soon may come
when the Chicago lightweight VIII nnd
it hard to get matches. Both Los An
geles and San Francisco have an
that there is nothing doing for
Mcfarland until he moderateS his de-
mands.
Phil Brock has offered to make any
weight Boer Unholz wants for battle,
provided he wins from Freddie Welsn'
and there is a possibility that the South
African may fight here before the Jeft-
ries club the afternoon of the Fourth.
carsey Gives Consent
Peter Sullivan and Kid Dalton were
given added inducements to do their
best in their fifteen-round fest at Ver-
non Saturday when Baron Long yes
terday finally obtained Frank Carsey's
consent to meet the winner June IL.
Too much class is entailed all around
TO keep these boys in the preliminary
class and the victor and Carsey will
be staged as the main event at Vernon
two days later than originally an
in a twenty-five-round battle.
All the terms which will govern the
match were agreed to by the boys
and nothing is left to do but
draw up the articles of agreement and
walt until after the Sullivan-Dalton go
to slap on the signatures. 1t has been
agreed that the men will weigh in at
. 20 pounds at 8; yclock on the day of
