for a lacing. Before Nelson was a
champion he gave Dick a fine trim
ming out west and is due To repeat
HylanJ. like most OF the llghtweights.
| Is not cut out to take the punishment
the Hegewisch wonder inflicts upon
his opponents.
On March II. Bill Papke and Jim
Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, are booked
for a ring argument in Los Angeles.
1t looks from here like a case of
good bye" Jim, as Papke is too fast
and too strong for the Colorado man
In fact Papke Is too fast for all pugs
barring Ketchel. and Fylnn never did
display much class. The third Taters
he has beaten In the west look like
easy money.
There will tbe a contest In New York
on February % between Johnny
Thompson and Mickey Cannon, which
will be worth going many miles TO see.
| Two good sluggers. each with wal
lop, are to mix and while Thompson
| may look like winner to westerners.
| fans Of tho cast will back Cannon.
| The latter is a star-a hard hitter and
| fast twohanded fighter. 1t wouldn't t
be surprising II Thompson lost out
| Thompson Is far from q classy fighter,
| but he always makes a good showing,
| works all the time and fans like TO see
him In action because they get their
| moneys worth.
One Of the latest matches for the
east Is that between AL Kulliak and AL
Kaufman. They meet In New York
| the first week In March and the out
come of that battle means much to the
| big fellow. Both would like TO be
| champion and the loser Will be counted
| booked for only 10 rounds, but In that
| period fans should not have much
\ trouble In picking the better man. un-
less. of course. both are very evenly
matched Kaufman will have the adj
| vantage Of experience and being sec
onded by one of the best men In the
worlJ-Billy Delaney But Kukiak
has been going along fine for a so
| called youngSter Should he beat Kauf-
man-which Is not improbable-he
Will stand a good chance to get Il
match with Johnson,
| At this writing there Is nothing do
ing so far as Battling Nelson and Fred
| die Welsh are concerned. But wires
| are being worked to get the two boys
to hook up for long distance bout.
| received a letter from Welsh In
] which he says he Will continue to go
| after" Nelson until he lands a match.
| Welsh put up grand bout against
young Erne at New Orleans the other
night, and again displayed that he is
clever boxer. Erne has without
doubt the best left in the business, but
even that good point did not help him
great deal against the foreigner.
Welsh, 1t appears. Is too fast Wouldn't
| Welsh and Driscoll-if they were In
the same weight class-give a grand
| exhibition
From Paris, France, comes the infor-
nation that Sam McVey defeated Joe
Jeanette in 10-round bout which
| attracted a big crowd, Those Paris
| ians certainly stand for a lot of things
| American followers Of the game would
not harbor. Just imagine what good
] American boxer could do In that coun'
| try IL McVey makes a hit with man
of Jeanette's caliber The report say
the fans carried McVev on their shoul-
ders in triumph from the ring. If Nc
| Vev ever fight Johnson or Kaufman
or Ketchel they will carry him out of
the ring. too. but 1t will be after the
count Of 10 has been made
J Champion Johnny Coulon, the ban
tam, has made quite hit In the east
He met few New Workers and easily
! beat them. Queer how little attention
| Is being paid TO the little fellows,
| When Jimmy Barry was In his prime
he received as much attention as did
some OF the heavier champions Coul-
on should clean up all the bantams be-
cause he can deliver the goods. Jock
Phenecie, Kid Murphy. Young O'Leary.
Patsey Brannigan all look alike to the
little Illinois fighting machine.
