ALDERMEN
DON'T WANT FIGHT
Refuse to Act on Merchants
Petition for Big
Fight.

DENVER, Aug. AIN a resolution
introduced by Alderman Thomas
Hyder. the Board of Aldermen was
asked last night to use its influence
to obtain for' Denver the fight for the
heavyweight championship between
James j. Jeffries and Jack Johnson.
The eity's interest, the resolution de-
clares, would come from the adver-
tiselment received by reason of the at
tendance of people from all parts of the
country. The resolution states that
prominent business men have expressed
their readiness to raise sufficient money
to bring the fight to his city. Consid-
cradle opposition developed IN the
ground that the city was interested lin
more important things"
Kid Mccoy is going to make Jim
Barry champion of the world, that is.
he thinks he can and is willing to try.
Billy Papke says Ketchel will beat
Langford when they meet at the Fair
mont Club on September 3. He says
Langford has nothing on him in speed
and punching force.
Packy Mcfarland has come out of
his hole and says he is ready to meet
anyone in the world at 1873 pounds,
weigh in at 8 o'clock. Packy says he
will make a special concession to Nell
son if Bat wants a match. If Packy
can make 1873 pounds after his two
months rest he will surprise many a
fan.
Dick Curley has the distinction of
putting on the first bouts in the BAN
tamweight elimination contests and
staging forty rounds of boxing when
he was manager of the Whirlwind
Club. Three good ten-reund bouts are
what the fans want.
Billy Papke is picking up a little easy
money around Chicago. boxing at
amusement parks.
Bert Reyes and Sammy Smith will
start the. American Athletic Club off
on their Saratoga meeting Saturday
night, when the two lightweights
meet for a ten-round clash at Conven-
ton Hall. and the attendance, judging
from the interest being taken in the
bout at the Spa, will be right up to
the handle.
Jim Kendrick must make good to-
night in his light with Johnny DAILY or
he will lose his proposed match with
Patsey Brannigan at the Fairmont
Club on Friday. As an appetizer the
club has arranged for two other ten
round bouts to precede these, and there
will surely be some fighting during the
forty rounds Of scheduled boxing.
Knockout Brown. the wallop wonder
of the bantams, has been signed up by
the Olympic Club for their next show
on Monday night. If DAILY beats Ken
drick he will be Knockout's opponent,
but If he loses then the club will put on
Pal Moore. Brown is working at Savin
Rock with Willie Lewis.
Willie Lucas defeated Fred Corbett,
the italian lightweight. in the wind-up
at the Douglas Athletic Club before a
big crowd in Philadelphia last night.
Lucas WAS too fast and too clever for
the downtown boxer and he had the
best of the engagement from first to
last. Lucas used a straight left to the
face and when at close quarters he
whipped his right to Corbett's ribs and
stomach. Corbett tried his best To
knock Whites head off with terrific
r~ight-hand swings which rarely landed.

There were 29,TS1 people who paid
admission at the Boston American
League grounds yesterday and saw the
Red Sox put another crimp in the
gonfalon aspiration of the Tigers by
trimming them twice in one after
noon. -
Oscar Stanage, Who caught the sec

Red Sox was at the bat FIVE times and
made three hits.
Third Base Ferris, of the ST. Louis

games of the double -header against the
Yankees yesterday.
King Brockett, the former Tiger

against ST. Louis after Joe Lake had
been Knocked out of the box. King
got two hits out of three times UP.
The Athletics handed the White Sox
a solar plexus blow yesterday by win
ming from them twice at Philadelphia.
In the second game Connie Mack used
three twinklers, including his star
Krause.
Cincinnati hit the peerless Mathew
son safely fourteen times yesterday in
ten innings. but the Giants won out by
a I to 6 score. Bod Spade, who started
for Cincinnati, lasted 1913 innings
against the Giants and then fell in a
hole. He was replaced by Campbell,
who also got his" before darkness
set In.
Lefty" Pastorious, of the Trolley
Dodgers; VINO pitched a one-hit game
last week, was beaten by Pittsburg
yesterday by a tune of 8 to /. Yester-
day he was unable to find the plate
for he gave ten free passes in eight
innings.
1t is not often that a MAI is sent in
to bat for Hal Chase, the Yankee first
baseman. Such was the ease in the
second game against the ST. Louis
team yesterday when in the ninth in
ming Manager Stallings sent Orth in
ITO bat. He failed to make good.
Cleveland won two games from the
