NO PR1zE-FIGHTING IN GARY.

II any misguided persons think that there will be a prize fight in Gary
Monday night they had better take a walk around the block in the cool zero
weather and funigate their dormant faculties. If there are any doubling
nomas In Gary as to the true status OF affairs, their names have never
cen mentioned above a whisper. Nevertheless it is believed that there is
a cotere OF n sporting fraternity in Chicago who have been led to believe
tna there I'LL b e a near fight in Gary, or a real bout with n o decision.
Secretary Barney Green of the so-caled Gary athletic association did
not lease the Gary theatre for the purpose Of entertaining the steel city with
a battle in which a champion figures IN the stellar role for the amusement
OF Gary sports alone. He could not afford for a minute to put OF the card
n AS booked for Gary for local patronage alone. He dos not expect to
have Gary pay for it. Chicago men will furnish the grease to make the
wheels go round and outside sports will do it under a misapprehension.
Dozens of them having received the knowing wink, will flock to Gary to get
sntten in the great Cal Harris style, that formerly made Gary famous.
The most incomprenhendble thing about the whole affair are the stories
printed from time to time in the Chicago papers to the effect that both
principles in the battle are training industriousy for the Gary match.
These stories are probably faxed, but if they are not it mean that the
promoters really intend to pull off a fight Johnny Coulon and Earl Denning
would not be wasting their time and money in a gymnasium training for a
boxing exhibition That is ridiculous.
If they think they are going to fight that is equally ridiculous, for Mayor
Knots regards prize fighting about az highly as he would a native bullfght,
and would be more apt to entertain the idea of staging the latter Backing
up the mayor W. have the county sheriff and lastly the governor, both of
whom arr notably antagonistc to the game. There ae none of them, either
who cherish the idea of being made the scapegoats for Chicagos disgruntled
sports.
