PAPKE MAY NOT
FIGHT AGAIN

Hot Springs, Ark, Jan. 10.-"I may
never fight again" declared Billy Pap
Ike, erstwhile middle-weight boxing
champion of America, on his arrival
here tonight. Papke was asked wheth-
er he would meet Kelly at San Fran
cisco Jan. % before Lecarfs club and
stated that he would not think of en-
tering the ring for at least two months
Il want a good rest said Papke.
IF I find that I am in good shape in
two months 1 shall take on all corners
regardless of weight or color"
Papke does not look like the same
fighter who left here last spring to
meet Ketchel at Milwaukee. He ap-
pears pale and drawn and his state
ment caused no great surprise mas
much as he declared he might retire
Immediately after his defeat by KetcheI
at San Francisco.
An attempt is being made to match
Papke and Barry for a ten round go
here. Marvin Hart and Barry are to
meet before the Wilmington A. c. next
month.

Will Permit Betting.

doris and the aisles of the capitol build
ing We're thronged today with lobby
lists who are seeking to have the anti
betting laws of the state repealed at
Hot Springs at least, but the outlook
is not considered especially hopeful.
Efforts will be made TO have racing
Legislation taken up Immediately, so
that arrangements can be made for a
winter meeting at Oaklawn and Essex
Park The rival track arrangements
will not clash this year, as everything
will be done to keep the sport in popu-
lar favor. An agreement has been
reached for division Of the dates in
case racing is attempted.
The Dexereaux element, representing
Essex Park, the pioneer track of the
city, is well represented here. The
Stuart and Dugan contingent is also
on hand, as opening of betting would
mean much to the proprietors of gam
ing rooms. The hotel proprietors and
business men also have a delegation
here, asking for a repeal of the anti
betting laws in Garland county.

Believing that the people of the Calu-
met region appreciate the best in the
dramatic field, Manager Connors of the
Calumet theater is experimenting with
a new plan, which, if successful will
lead to a radical change in the policy
of his playhouse. It is the plan of the
manager to intersperse the melodramas
with high class dramatic productions
and by a tentative agreement which
he has made with the booking agency
he will be enabled to offer to his pat
rons first class attractions at approx
mately one-half the prices paid by peo-
pie in other cities to see the same
plays.

Tells Only Way He Would

would be for him to step on the tail

The big champion laughed as he cod

thousandth time that 1 shall not re-
turn to the professional prize ring
That ought to be enough.
Right here 1 want to say word or
two in favor of Marvin Hart. The big
Kentuckian has been made the butt of
the sporting writer's jokes from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Probably there
are good reasons for Harris claims be-
ing derided. but I am willing to go on
record as being of the belief that Hart
will give Johnson a stubborn fight, if
they ever meet.
Marvin is credited with a twenty
round victory over Johnson three years
ago at San Francisco. This fact alone
entities Hart to the talk of a return
match that he has been making. Some
people figure that Harris only idea in
this connection is to land the losers
end of the money I think differently,
however. sincerely believe that Hart
would prove a troublesome adversary
for Johnson"

SOUTH BEND
TO RAISE LID

That the fight lid which has been on
South Bend for several years is due
to be pried off within a short time is
believed here as a result of efforts of
promoters in the Indiana city to secure
Chicago fighters for early dates. The
lid was shut down in South Bend some
time ago and since it was clamped on
it has not been raised. With the re-
tirement of Governor Hanly it is said
the state officials will not interfere
with boxing and the municipal and
county officers at South Bend are said
to favor the sport
