New Men In the Lfmeiixht.
The elimination tournament for mid
dleweights, which will be staged by
the West Side Athletic club of New
Orleans. this fall. is bringing into the
limelight, several new men, who have
had very little boosting in the past
Among the new corners, who have
entered for the contest, are Billy
Wick of Omaha. Tommy Gavigan OF
Cleveland, Jack Dillon of indianapolis.
and protege of Frank Manten OF
Providence, r. L These boys have all
entered. and in three cases they have
offered to pay their own transpOrta-
ton to New Orleans in order TO get
trials against such men as Eddey Nc
Goorty, Bob Moha, Billy Bapke. Johnny
Thompson. Frank Mantell. Jimmy
Gardner and others
The New Relationships Aspirant.
The most talked Of featherweight in
the country today is Jose Rivers. the
California Mexican. who has been de-
feating all corners before Tom Nc
Carey's club at Los Angeles.
Abe Attei is champion, but there
are a great many who look upon
Rivers as the coming champion, and
his manager. Joe Levy, is already bill

title at Sydney, Australia, and that IL
Papke wants a match for the cham

1t Is very noticeable that Mcintosh

that he expects Jack Johnson to de-

thing which ought to be initiated at

and never let up on them.
Harry Payne Whitney, who has trans

the American thoroughbred. This has
been shown by his recent purchase of
ffty-seven yearIings from James 4

The price paid for the lot was not

Bout Between Ring Arbiter and
Offensive Fan 0vershadOwS
Advertised Fight.

Referee Charley White proved that
he is something of pugihst as well
as referee when he whipped an offensive
fan. The New York World describes
the incident as follows
'Dave Deshler of Boston and Paddy
Sullivan of New York fought a fast
ten-round draw at the Twentieth Cen"
tury club last night, but their bout was
as nothing in comparison with the free
for all scrap that took place after the
session between Charley White and a
member. White had scarcely stepped
from the ring to the floor when the club
member, a friend of Paddy Sullivan,
walked up to White and made an of
fensive remark, criticising in caustic
terms Whites work as referee,
:" You re rotten, said the member
to White. 'You gave Sullivan a raw
deal. You don't know the first thing
about boxing. Then he called White
a vile name. In the twinkling of an
eye White swung left and right to his
belligerent critic IS face and in Sec
ond both men were fighting hard.
"'The crowd stood spellbound for a
few seconds until they realized that a
new fight not on the programme was
on. Then the crowd became partisan.
They took sides. some for White, some
for the stranger In Jiffy there was
a free~for-all. Finally, the club 's spe-
cial policeman separated the fighting
men, but not before the fighting mem
ber had his shirt torn off his back. He
was soon 1ying down the aisles look
