 New. York. June 15.-Luther McCar- he quietly trekked into Gotham town the other day after having given. out a. statement when leaving Springfield Mo, the scene of his principal ring victories that the next. landing place would be San Francisco. Cal.
 < Establishing the fact that Luther, tor is it Luke?). possesses the cor rect temperament. or I might better say f6liocrasy, that contributes its share to the making of pugilistic champions, base ball idols. political leaders. statesmen and others in the front ranks in various walks of life.
 For it is only the public man who -i1as reached the highest pinnacle of fame in his chosen career, or has con- fidence- in his ability to get there sooner or later, who is extended the privilege of exercising the preroga- tive of changing his mind without mo- tice, and is not held personally res- ponshle for the breach of faith.
 Mccarthy, a young giant of feet four inches, and weighing in acondi- tfon in the neighborhood of 215 rounds. has come among us bent on q campaign of house-cleaning in the Eastern Headquarters of the hopes" :. and plans to begin operations on Bombadier Wells or Al Palxer. He Morris, the hero of 'Sapulpa, and by a knockout at that, moves him right up to the head of the class.
 Luther prefers to tackle the best or the lot By ilicking Palzer. or the Bombadier he figures on immediate promotion to the place of honor among applicants for the privilege of boxing Johnson for the championship of the world, provided the dusky hold. CT is successful in defending the title from the attack of Jim Flynn on; the Fourth of July. And as it looks as f. said Mr Johnson has an excellent es.TSs S;D aTsr t acb 5asE; nFomis Ms- ing y0iifhs as big Al and the English champion would find the public ready and even anxious to pin it's badge of hope on his stalwart Missouri frame.
 The Bombadier and Palzer have been matched by the Garden A. c. for the night of June 2S, but it's no sure thing the bout will be pulled off. Tom OsRourke claims his contract with the big tow-headed Iowan is a perfectly good piece of paper in the eyes of the law and if not declared in on Palzerss end threatens to call the courts to his aid Unless the parties in dispute arrivA &fs@he agreement the chances for the match are slim.
 Mccarthy, it is said. has promised to make his New York bow at the Garden so that after all the fans may rot be disappointed in the matter of a heavyweight match. Should Pal- r>- <oiv, plan Is to substitute Luther, which card would prove quite as attractive as the other. It is to be hoped that matters will be so adjusted, if only temporarily. to permit the Palzer- Wells slug-fest. A bout between Mccarthy, would give us good line on the chances of the white race to reclaim the heavyweight champion ship in. the near future.
 Local critics advance the opinion that Wells is rather too pretty" to make successful fighter; Al though no one here has seen him in action the impression prevails that the Englishman is not sturdy enough to offer stout resistance to men of the husky type such as Palzer and Nc Carthy Nevertheless his record on the other side gives claim to our consid- eration and the mere detail of not looking the part of a professional bruiser is no evidence that he is not there with the goods. The fans are anxious to see him tried out against a good man and Al or Euther will satisfy on that score. Let Bomba- dier put up a good exhibition with either and I'm sure the fans will for- give him his good looks.N
 The great Sam Langford-Jee Jean nette mystery Is still featured in sporting circles. No one appears to Know the exact whereabouts of the tar baby" One line of talk has Sam aboard a Pacific liner headed in this direction. while other chatter tells us he will remain In Australia 'in- definitely In the meantime Jean nette is back home from that dear Paris and prepared to go through with his end of the contract with Langford and Tom McCarey.
 disappointed In a commendable ann bition to box Samuel in the imme- tiiate future. A little bird whispers that Hugh Mcintosh has about per suaded Jack Johnson to take anoth- CT Australian trip, which is thought the reason for Langford's decision to finger "a little longer on those far-off chores Hugh's last letter inform cd me he had not given up all hope of matching Johnson with Langford or Mcvey.
 What promises to be real high class. bang up boxing match-J. Kil- bane versus J. Dundee-has been called off, and for the reason that the St. Nicholas Club, which was engin- eering the affair, could not see it's way clear to pay the champion feather weight the big guarantee ask cd, although willing to let him have q very liberal percentage.
 The promoters have substituted a card made up of three ten round bouts between boys of class; Charley White, the Chicagoan, recently awarded popular verdicts over Owen Moran and Johnny Dundee. is sched- ;sled to box Young Shugrue, prom isiiiE 126 pounder; Eddie O'Keefe, touted as the cleverest boxer among the feathers, will engage with Packey Hommey. and bout that will prove ~ immonse local interest will be the
