On April II. 1900, Matthews met and
defeated Mysterious Billy Smith for
the welterweight championship at the
Broadway Athletic Club. knocking Billy
out In the seventeenth round. This
was the scrap in which Smith told
Matthews that he couldn't hit hard
enough to break an egg. Hardly had
Smith got the words cut OF his mouth
when Matty landed with hds right on
the point Of Billy's Jaw and sent him
into dreamland.
Having acquired stellar honors, Mat
thews went IL West. and at Denver
met and defeated kid Parker, the Veg
etar!an Champion" in ten rounds.
Then he came East again and lost a
twenty-ivc-round decision TO Eddie
Connolly at Coney Island. He travelled
out TO Michigan and was outpointed by
Jim Ferns. the Kansas Rubs." at
Detroit In fifteen rounds. He won over
Tom Couhig at Buffalo in twenty rounds,
and on May "a met "Rube" Ferns again
at Toronto. this time for the welter-
weight title. "Rube' won by the
knockout route in the tenth round,
giving Matty a terrible beating.
When Matthews fought Jack DAILY In
Syracuse he arrived there the morning
OF the day the fight was to be held and
Immediately sent out for all the news
papers he could get hold Of in order
that he might have the pleasure OF
seeing his name In big black letters.
Matty used to read all the theatrical
posters and was crazy to get on the
stage. and when. after winning the
championship. he became a Thespian for
a short time, he insisted on having his
name billed in great big type. In order
to crafty his desire to be an actor.

use and made a short tour with It. on

MeGill is TO have a skyscraper
hotel. 1t isn't going to be as tall as
the smelter stack, but IL Is going TO
be sufficiently large to fill a long felt
and required want in that communi-
ty. Landlord Click is to erect the new
hotel and to be the proprietor of Me
Gill's ca%ravansary.
There Will be In all about
seventy-five rooms in the hotel; there
will be several baths and a large
dining room capable OF aeeomodat-
ing more than 100 persons. In ad-
dition to the accommodations for the
local people, ten or a dozen rooms
will be set aside for the aecommoda-
ton OF transient guests, something
of which MeGill has been In need for
a long time.
The building will be two stories in
height and will be located next to
Stones theater where the tailor shop
now stands. There will be on the
ground floor an Office and reading
room, but no bar. AS far as filling
the rooms of the hotel there is no
doubt for already nearly the limit of
Landlord Clicks accommodations
