THE New York World.
= YARDLY a train from the West
arrives here nowadays without
some pugilist or other aboard.
Jack Geyer. e strapping heavyweight
from Denver. Is the latest newcomer.
and he Is anxious to mlngle with the
best the city affords. He would p%articu-
larry Ike a chance TO show what he
can DO against such big fellows as Tom
Kennedy, Al Pslzer and Al Kaufman.
and he feels confident that II he Is
xiven the chance no will knock out any
one OF them.
Oeyer looks Hike a fighter from head
20 foot. His features are typically those
OF the fighter. while his build Is enor-
nous. lie stands six feet one and ono
quarter inches in his stocking foet.
weighs 100 pounds in condition.. and de-
clares he possesses . punch that would
fell an OK.
Geyer's most ~creiitable ring perform
ance was when he knocked out Battling
johnson in seven rounds. The latter
mas two draws and a defeat by Jim
Flynn, recent conqueror OF Carl Morris.
70 his credit. 1t was not 80 long ago.
sither, that Mt Los Angeles Geyer
tucked away Gunboat Smith In nine
rounds, and Al Solomon. a Pacihc coast
navy champion. In ono round.
Some of the holdings that Geyer Is
the proud owner OF are a NUMBER OF pic
lures showing him In various poses with
lack johnson. When the colored cham
pion, now supposed to be retired. was
training al Reno for his fight with
Jim Jeffries Geyer was one OF his train
ing STAN, and says that the reason the
co,ored man didn't use him oftener TO
box against was because OF his pile
driving blows. which upset his eau-
aibrium.
= Uncle TOM MCAREY has landed
the pugilistic treat or the year
in Joe jeanette and Sam Lang
ford for twenty rounds at Los Ahgeies'
Thanksgiving Day. There never were
two greater rivals In the prize ring
than this pair. They have fought sew
eral times without a satisfactory result.
ana now they Just love each other.
Their recent ten-round bout at the
Garden was one OF the best nights ever
s.en In New York. opinion was di"
yided as TO the winner. II was In
deed fortunate that the boxing Com
mission had previously prohibited de-
c.sions, for any verdict that Charley
White might have given that night
would have caused a lot OF dissension.
I'm twenty rounds. as they will go
in Los Angeles. some kind OF n de-
clsion should be reached. jeanette has
continuously claimed he can beat Lang
ford in twenty rounds. II for no other
reason h a he will outgam him.
The tight comes close to being a
championship affair. IL Johnson's state
ment that he wants to quit the ring
can be taken seriously. Jack will either
have to meet the winner or retire.
= ANGFORD has rather an important
engagement tonight with Tony
- Caponi. tho Western light-heavy-
weight. at the Twentieth Century A. G..
Caponl IL fairly clever. as strong as a
bull and thrives on wallops. lie has a
.ten-round draw with Langford to his
credit and he Is nervy enough TO think
he has a chance OF beating the Tar
Baby. Langford Is a most Interesting
fighter to watch IN action. He has a
Knockout punch that travels only inches
and an opponent has to be mighty clever
and lucky 10 escape It.
= OOKS Ike tho Giants luck Is stnI
with them, even now with the
pennant race over. They won out
p the toss for the opening game OF the
worlds series. which means that there'l
be considerable doinss In the vicinity
OF the Polo Grounds saturday, oct. IA.
