JilVI DAMN IILNL,
WANTS KAUFMAN
CHICAGO HEAVYWEIGHT COMES
STRAIGHT FROM PARIS
OFFERS WINNER TAKE ALL FOR
TEN OR TWENTY ROUNDS

Brothers Go East

Fourteen days out of Paris big Jim
Barry, the Chicago heavyweight, ar
rived in Los Angeles last night, and
after handing out a stiff line of talk
concerning things pugilistic in general,
and AL Kaufman in particular, Barry,
tired out with his long and steady
travel, retired to his hotel for much
needed rest.
The lights of the gay imperial city
have little further attraction for the
husky candidate for the worlds highest
honors.
THE land of my birth is certainly
good enough for me, and here l Will
stick. Paris was a disappointment TO
me from the standpoint of the financial
end of the game, and l was mighty
glad to get back to my own country.
Hardly had Barry alighted from the
train when he set forth in strong terms
his desire for another meeting with
Delaney's protege, AL Kaufman, the
Californian. Barry is anxious to meet
Kaufman in a ten or 20-round battle,
and believes he will be able to whip the
northern lad and reverse AIS Knockout
in the thirty-ninth round, secured IN
the arena of the Jeffries club at Yer
non. So confident is Barry that he Will
trim Kaufman in the distances stated
that he is willing to allow the money
to be handed over in a lump sum to the
winner. This winner-take-al business,
however, will hardly sound good 20
| Delaney, since that memorable elghlh
round when Barry came so near to put
ting his boosted coming champion INTO
| the d. and O. division.
Barry arrived so late last night that
he had no opportunity to confer with
the local fight people, but today ne
Will take the matter up and Win meet
Manager McCarey of the Pacltlc
Athletic club in a conference, for the
purpose of discussing match with
Kaufman. Jim looked strong and
rugged and his life on the continent
apparently has proved of benefit. He
has absorbed a few of the airs and
graces of the boulevards, including a
few hot clothes, but has not forgotten
his desire to beat Kaufman to
frazzle. This, in fact, is the errand
which brings him to the coast.
Coulter Turns Professional
Another good amateur has turned
professional Sam Coulter formerly a
member of a local athletic club, VINO
made a good showing down through
the divisions of the 133-pound class in
the Pacific coast amateur boxing
championships, which closed saturday
night, has decided to toss off his garb
as an amateur and enter the ring in
earnest. This step has not been taken
without due consideration. Coulter
has shown considerable ability as
boxer and his instructor, Dewitt Van
Court, has predicted a great future
for him in the ring. He has been urged
by his friends to take up the game, and
has finally announced himself.
Wise in his own generation, Coulter
has sagely decided to break into the
game by degrees. He can make the
lightweight poundage easily, and II Is
in this class that he will enter. sam
will make no attempt to run Tor d
championship on the start, but will take
on some Of the trial horses, including
such men as Picato Brock, Dalton ana
others of their ilk. He possesses a
good punch and is remarkably clever
for an amateur. Manager McCarey has
expressed a willingness to give Coulter
a chance to make his professional de-
but at Maud Junction with good
lightweight, and he may be carded in
one of the contemplated programs or
the Pacific Athletic club.
Papke Goes East
That great pair, the Papke brothers,
left Los Angeles last night over the
salt Lake road for Chicago, to be gone
couple Of weeks. Billy Papke mas
signed contract for a weeks show at
a Windy citv theater in a special box
ing and vaudeville stunt, and his
brother Ed accompanies him as man
ager and financial adviser.
I'VE will be back soon," was Ed
Papke's farewell statement Billy and
like Los Angeles, and we Will Stuck
here a while, but this offer IS 100 goou
to lose"
