that he is worthy of good bouts. He
Will meet Honey Melody.
Webster Mass. has meeting, on
Wednesday night, and the bouts
promise TO be rugged enough to please
tie fans in that section. Jimmy MORT
arity of Lowell goes against Lemoine,
local fayorite, in the feature bout.

plumbers have no friends
Three champions are booked for bouts
on Wednesday night. Kilbane meets
Tommy O'Toole in Philadelphia, and the
latter may give Kilbane a surprise like
Jimmy Walsh did in Boston. Wolgast
should get some easy money in Pitts
burg. where he takes on Phil Brock.
Matt Wells will, this week. emerge
from the obscurity of his recent defeat
by Packey Mcfarland and Will take on
something easy in Young Brown in
Brooklyn Wednesday night, and, on Fri

ada at Utica, n. Y. Wells should de-
feat Wilson.
Johnny Kilbane is going to have things
pretty soft when he meets Johnny Dun
dee in New York, ON June Is. Johnny is
CHI pf he
der. while the Italian with the Scotch
name will get about $50. kilbane will
have to be careful that he does not
laugh during the bout. otherwise he
might spoil it all.
A friend of Johnny Coulon ON the Mil
waukee Leader, in a story about what /"
wonderful champion Coulon is, says that
Johnny has few rivals If this writer
means that there are few boxers carry
ing so-called titles who do so much side
stepping, he has it right. In any other
sense Coulon has plenty of rivals, and
they are likely to continue SO, 50 far as
getting bout with Johnny is concerned.
Willie Ritchie is hungry for return
match with Champion Wolgast the
Californian is so impressed with the
showing he made in his four-round
contest with the Cadillac boxer that
he feels he could do better in a longer
bout 1t is possible that Richie Will
secure a meeting with Wolgast at New
York in the near future.
The fans are looking with suspicion
on the stores from Chicago that Jack
johnson is in bad shape from neural
/, 4 Ia.,t cha
pion is to be double crossed by Flynn
at the last moment The scheme, as
is that the champion is
to be assured that Flynn will lay
down to him.
Rather looks SO Boston was to lose
an immediate chance of a return bout
between Tom Kennedy of New York
ana Sandy Ferguson. which the fans
had hoped to see in view of their good
contest of a week ago. Jack Doherty
is reported to have captured Kennedy
for bout at an early date with Jim
Stewart at his Providence club, in
which case the Rhode Island fans are
in for a treat.
Several Jamaica Plain fans were in,
yesterday. to urge along a bout between
Freddy Duffy and Matty Baldwin at the
Local club, and expressed the opinion
that Matty does not want any of the
suburban boys game. The writer hardly
agrees with them, but the contest would
nevertheless be an interesting one and
Dne in which there would be lot of local
interest. 1t does not appear whether
Managers MacLean and Fallon have had
any conferences, but as no disagreement
rs to weight exists they should be able
20 come to some settlement.

which will be seen six of the cleverest
little men in the 122-pound class, will be
