TOMMY LEE called up today to
say that he had everything ready
for a match with Johnny Coulon
at New Haven, Conn, May 30.
Permission mas been obtained for a
20-round bout and all that is lacking
is the Coulons' final word on the match.
Inasmuch as they have refused to
meet Burns over the short route, nam
ing twenty rounds as the shortest, it's
hard to see how the Chicago people
a refuse to take on the New Baven
fight with honor. Lee was willing to
fight in New Orleans for twenty rounds
but there can be nc boxing there for
awhile. Now it's hard to see how
Coulon can refuse.
Lee today closed another match for
Burns. frankie will meet Jim Ken
drick, the Englishman, at the National
Sporting Club May IL.
Young Shugrue also has three fights
on hand. A week from Monday he
tights Johnny Dundee at the Tolos
Club in Perth Amboy; the following
Monday Harry Thomas will be his op-
ponent at the Olympic Club in New
York, and Bill Brown on May 80 will
have the fast little Jersey City boy
meet Jerry Brooks for the second time.
Lee is certainly a hustler.
They nay talk about the ACCESSIBILITY
and the wisdom OF having but one big
ball park in New York, but 1t would
look infinitely better TOR each club to
have its own.
If Ban Johnson opposes the one-rark
plan from that standpoint, he is to be
praised for It. We suspect. however.
that the real reason Johnson does not
favor the plan is that he does not want
it known how the American League
conducts its business as to the owner
ship of parks. etc.
Young Kurtz. the local welterweight.
who was accused by Billy Leary of GO
ing around and saying that he could
beat Lewis, told the writer today he
never said such a thing, but that he
would fight Lewis any time al a win
ner-take-alf basis. Kurtz avs the
Princess Club is all right for him.
'All Lewis has to do is to name the
date" concluded Kurtz.
5rnes. Wolf, the crack pitcher of the
Springfield team, of the Connecticut
state League, is at his home in Bloom
field with a sor arm. Wolf. who Is o
Highlander will nurse his wing care
fully unfit May IS, when he will again
report at Springfield.
wolf has met with much success in
the New England towns and cities.
Tony Bender and Leo Baker are
matched to meet in Passalc next Mon
day.
Here is Billy zimmerman's record at
Atlanta, Ca. including Monday.

That's poor work for a Newark sand
lotter. Jimmy jumped from 1877 to his
present mark in a week.
Jim Jeffries is the guest of Deck VOL
tiers this afternoon. The big boiler
maker is the same good fellow he al
ways was. and it's a nice thing to num-
her him among ones friends Those
who called him yellow are as far
from the truth in that case as is usual
in others.
George McQuillan. the former Philly
and now a Red, has been suspended for
VIOldlitib ~ a hAN6 HA0 h
sent home to Cincinnati.

George Boice dropped in today to say
he never felt better and should have a
good season as soon as he gets down to
work.
Ever at this stage of the game odds
are 1917 that Wolgast will beat frankie
Burns, the coast lightweight. The bout
win take place in three weeks.
The end of Jim McGuire's regime at
cleveland came today, when the vet
eran rendered his resignation. That
club is a Jonah"
