Another big heavyweight scrapper
will sail today for Paris to engage in
fights in that country. He is AL ku-
biak, the Michigan Giant" who is
slated to fight Joe Jeanette, the colored
pugilist, for twenty pounds over there
on October 80, and Jim Stewart, the
Brooklyn heavyweight, in a similar
match a week later. Kubiak left on
the steamship New York. accompanied
by his manager, Johnny Kelly. OF
Philadelphia.
Over in England IN Monday night
there will be a legitimate championship
battle fought which has aroused more
interest among the admirers OF pugil-
ism in Johnny Bulls country than any
battle that has taken place there in
years. The fighters who will battle are
Freddie Welsh and Johnny Summers,
the English .lightweights. They will
fight a twenty-round bout at the Ma
tional Sporting Club of London for the
lightweight title. a side bet Of $1,000
and g. purse of $500.
The ten-round bout between Johnny
Coulon, of Chicago, who claims the
bantamweight title. and Patsey Bran
nigan, of Pittsburg, will take place at
the National A. c., of Pittsburg, on
October %. The lads will battle at ia
pounds, weigh in at Q p. m. on the day
of the battle. After this bout little
Coulon may &c to California n fight
| Monte Attell provided Monte will agree
to fight at 115 pounds, weigh in at the
ring side. .
Billy Papke, the illinois Thunder
bolt" Is certainly a Disguised fighter.
Billy had accepted the offer of Willie
Lewis to fight him for a side bet of
$1,000 in a twenty-round bout, but as
Lewis has sailed away to Paris, Papke
now forward and declares that
he has lost the chance of winning an
easy Sc, 900, for he is of the opinion
that he can stop Lewis easily In twen-
ty rounds If he ever meets him.
Although Fred Coulon, uncle OF
Johnny Coulon. the Chicago bantam
weight, has repeatedly announced that
he is willing to match Johnny against
any of the little fellows that can do
115 pounds ringside for a side bet of
$500 or 1000 in a twenty-round bout,
not a single manage of any of the
bantams has come forward 80 far and
accepted the challenge. Here is a good
chance for Phil McGovern, Charley
Goldman, Monte Attell, Danny Web
| ster, Joe Wagner D. Joe kid" Coster.
Matchmaker Jimmy Doherty, of the
Standard A. c. of Lymansville, r. T.,
has decided to put on w shows at his
club on Thanksgiving Day, one in the
afternoon and the other in the evening,
and is trying to secure Sammy Smith
and Charley Griffin, the Australian
| feather weight, to meet two good ME
at their weight in the main bouts of
| fifteen rounds. Griffin will most likely
be put against Tommy Carey. of Phila-
delphia.
Charley Harvey, who has been en-
gagged by the big fight club of Paris TO
secure the American fighters to battle
there, has sent for Terry MUSTANG, the
Western heavyweight. to make the trip
abroad and fight on of the other big
Yankee fighters who will also battle
here. Mustaine has been showing UP
well in battles in the West and has
also knocked out George Gardner and
boxed Jack Twin Sullivan a draw.
Billy Gibson, ana of the Fair
mount A. c., announced last night
that he intended to reopen his club a
week after election by holding a boxing
stag, at which the principals. in the
main bout would be prominent local
bantam-weights. The National A. G. OF
Brooklyn. Brooklyn A. c., Bedford A,
C. of Brooklyn and the Long Acre A,
c. will also open up with boxing stays,
