His first battle will in all probability be

Intosli will not hesitate TO put up tho
coin providing the match looks good for
the two big men. and there Is no reason
why 1t should not look good. Over the
long route Jeanette will be hard game

also feels just as sure of beating him as
he did Flynn at Las Vegas.
Battling Nelson. ex-lightweisht charm

tier Is liable to outguess a lot of them

a lot OF money and another chance at the
title. While some of the lightweiYh,s
have been talking about matches with
Hughey Michigan, the Australian cham
pion, the Battler has been negotiating
with the Australians and there Is g pos
sibility that the mayor Of Hegewisch
will take a chance and 20 over to the
antipcSies for q match with the champion

Jim Flynn. through his manager. Jack
Curley. Is going after all the white hopes
now with the evident intention Of fore
ing recognition from the writer's of box
ing, SO that he may get another chance
at the heavyweight title. It is the only
milton, and Curley is wise enough to
know It. Jim made his mistake as Las
Vegas with Johnson and has no one to
blame but himself. but he can remedy
matters considerably by meeting all these
hopes and showing just how good they
are He might start down the line with
Porky Flynn, Luther Mccarthy Jim

The unsatisfactory ending OF the Klaus
Carpenter match at Dieppe, France. amid
scenes OF disorder has caused consider-
able discussion among the boxing pro-
moters in the French metropolis as to
whether It is advisable to go along with
Frenchmen as referees. The English and
American boxers strongly object to the
Frenchman as the third man in the ring.
for the reason that they are not familiar
with the rules and can only see the con-
test from one angie. As a result the next
big match there viii be judged by three
men two judges and a referee. the same as
has been worked in Milwaukee on many
occasions. and also In New Oriepas. In
the Klaus-Carpentier match the latter 5
seconds were clearly at fault by invading
the ring and should have been disqualified
without hesitation by the referee, but
that official was too slow in acting, ano
this caused more trouble. The French
man will learn, but the boxers suffer in
the meantime.
