HOWLAND'S

This is a funny world even for folks who
sell clothes to men.
Here is the House of Kuppenheimer &C
tually mad because we are selling their suits
at $l5. They don't want those suits sold for
less than $l8 or 500.
But we figure it differently. They are
our suits. We've bought and paid for them.
And we have the right to sell them for any
price we please.
1t is actually nobody's business but our
own, what price we put on anything we have
to SELL This is as true of Kuppenhemer suits
as of anything else And we are, to be frank,
nightly tickled to have men take to the new
store and the Kuppenheimer clothes as they
have done.
That is the good thing about it. No
matter what other folks Think men are profit
ing by the chance the new store offers.
There are Kuppenheimer suits that are
wonderfully good and at special price
There are spring overcoats that are worth
$l5 and $l8-a to be bought for $3.50.
No wonder, men of Bridgeport you are
enjoying it

Packey Mcfarland made short work
of Kid Burns in their return match
at Kenosha. Burns, whose sole claim
to fame rested on the black eye with
which he decorated Mcfarland when
the boys boxed in New York some
few weeks since, was never in the
hunt and his seconds were forced to
throw up the sponge in the eighth
round. Friends of mine who ran up
from Chicago to see the match say
that Packey fought like a member OF
the vendetta. He was merciless In
attack and cut Burns face to rib
bons. The New Yorker was hopelessly
outclassed.

NAUS-D|l LON BATTLE MAY
DECIDE MIDDLEWEICHT TITLE
1m Corbett Says Mike Gibbons
And Eddie McGo0rty Are
Close To Champion
shi , CaIibre
(By James j. Corbett, Former Cham
pion of the worldly

pion of the worldly
written for The Evening Farmer.)
A very important contest, the result
OF which will have much bearing on
the ultimate possession of the middle
weight title. takes place today (Sat-
urday.) when Frank Klaus and Jack
Dillon meet for twenty rounds at
Coffroth's arena in San Francisco. In
fact. they attach 50 much importance
to this match in the Golden West that
the promoter is billing it as battle
for the middle-weight championship
of the world.
Probably at no time since the un-
fortunate ending of the peerless
Ketchel has the championship mud
die been nearer settlement than at
the present time. The legitimate as
pirants and runners-up number not
more than four, and within the next
few months 1 expect to see one of
this limited coterie established as un-
disputed boss of the division.
In addition to Klaus and Dillon
(and one of these will very likely be
eliminated as contender this after
noon.) there are two other gents
who come pretty close to filling the
bill In the matter of championship
accomplishments. These are Mike
Gibbons, the speed wonder from St.
Paul and Eddie McGoorty, the Osh-.
kosh crackajack. Gibbons is to have
a trial over the ten round route IN
New York next Tuesday evening. He
boxes Jack Denning who has made
the best showing of any of clever

watched the men carefully on the
occasion of their former meeting, and
while Der ming gave a good account
of himself, and probably boxed bet
ter than at any other time in his
career, Gibbons did not extend him
self until near the finish. This WAS
due to palpable lack of condition and
not to any desire to permit his oppon-
emit to stay the limit. Rather it
behooved him to husband his strength
as much as possible during the early
rounds. Gibbons later on explained
that the severe winter weather of his
Northern home had interfered with
training operations and that when he
arrived in New York there was not
sufficient time to prepare properly.
young man, he would not take un-
necessary chances during the contest,
and it was not until the last round
or two that he cut loose his bewilder-
upper-cuts.' What he showed then
was enough for me to pick him as an
easy winner over Denning next Tues
day.
Jim Coffroth who is trying to cor
rail- all the middle-weight stars adj
vises me that Eddie McGoorty has
been matched to meet the winner of
today's Klaus-Dillon bout, and that he
hopes to obtain Gibbons consent TO
visit the coast to participate in the
finals of the championship tourney he
is promoting. As 1 said in this column
recently I shall not be surprised if
McGoorty and Gibbons are the pair
who will eventually do battle for the
title.

When Referee Charley White dis
qualified One Round Hogan in the re-
cent match with Leach Cross in New
York, he not only proved he is an
honest and capable official but DEM
onstrated that he owns more than
the average amount of nerve allotted
to ordinary mortals
Not that White did not long ago
qualify for the trying duties Of third
man in the ring. In the old days
when it was part of an arbiter's func-
tons to award decisions none gave
greater satisfaction in the role than
this same bald-headed veteran. But
it took considerable courage to pull
that disqualification thing in the very
first round of a contest that was en-
pected to be the most stubbornly con-
tested affair arranged between light
weights in months, and before an i'm
mense gathering of enthusiastic sports
White had warned Hogan several
times during the short life of the
scrap that he must obey the rules
Hogan offended four times, reports
say, without punishment, but the fifth
was the straw that broke the camel's
back and Whites patience at the
same time. In connection with the
disqualification, which by the way was
the first to take place since the intro
duction of the rule compelling clean
breaks, the only criticism leveled at
White is that he was perhaps a bit
hasty.
/ believe Charlie did exactly right
in stopping the fight when he did and
disqualifying the Californian. The
Boxing Commission has introduced
several new rules of late, and good
ones, and it's up to the referees to
enforce them. White is the firts
to make trouble for a refractory box
er, and in doing so has set an exam
pie for others in his position to fol-
low. The really unfortunate part Of
the affair was that the spectators
were the only sufferers. The Com
should take steps to protect
the public against such boomers in
the future.

The crop of old-time fighters with
desire +o shine in the fistic firma-
ment is not diminishing so very fast
The rumor will not down that Jim
Jeffries has determined to make an
other bid for the championship. The
big fellow denies any such intention
when the question is put directly to
him, but word reaches me from Los
Angeles that the former champion is
daily doing a bit of quiet training
and that he is expected before long
to publicly announce his willingness
and anxiety to take another chance.
Then there is Tommy Burns, one
time champion, whose hat is now IN
the ring. Tommy says he will con-
fine his engagements in the future to
combats with men of his own color,
and would prefer Al Palzer to shoot
at as a starter. Mr.. Burns modestly
adds that he would not be averse to
meeting Carl Morris should Palzer
not feel inclined to do battle.

member correctly he knocked out his
man in the first round, same as he
did with Coffey, the Irishman, the
other night.
Kearns and Palzer are the sort that
can be developed into contenders for
the highest honors in heavyweight
pugilism. They are both jewels in
the rough and what they need most
is the right sort of tuition and train
ing to put on the polish. Palzer is
fortunate that he hooked up with
Tom O'Rourke so early in his career.
AS a result he is now generally re-
cognized as the most dangerous white
heavyweight before the public. do
not know who looks after Kearns,
but hope he is in good hands. 1t
would be little less than a crime to
mar the future prospects of this
promising youngster through incom-
petent training and advice.
