Carly and Al Kaufman at San Fran
cisco October 10 should prove inter-
csting, inasmuch as it viii eliminate
one Of them from the ,Whlte nope
class. Kaufman was eliminated some
time ago when Jim Flynn put the
dream punch to his jaw at Kansas
City but Al said he was off form at
the time and wanted another chahce
that chance, and it will be to the
woods for Albert or the imelight
again. McCarty has been cOmisg
along at a fairly good pace, being
nursed carefully by that clever hano-
Ter. Billy Mccartney, and it is safe
bet that Billy will see that he gets
none the worst of it in the coast town
It should be some smuggling match, and
it will not be surprising to near OF a
knockout one way or the other. II
will be a case of the first one putting
it over.
Efforts are being made by the big
boxing clubs in Paris to bring about
match between George Carpenter a1d
Sam Langford 1t is evident that the
Frenchmen want to stack their cham
pion I'D against about the hardest piece
of fighting machinery in the business,
outside of the champion, Jack john
son. 1t would be a great card, but
at the same time it might mean the
smashing of the French idol, for there
France as Carpenter. The latter has
taken on weight and is now above the
middleWeight class by considerable,
around us pounds, but even with that
weight he will not have anything on
the chunky LangfOrd, who scales
around $50 pounds when carrying his
full fighting weight. Carpenter IS a
mere youth yet, being just nearing his
10th year, and it would seem a pity
to run him against such rough game
the first crack out of the box. There
are plenty of good matches for the
French boy without picking out the
black wonder, but at any rate it
could not be arranged until after the
new year sets in, as Langford is I'M
der contract to Hugh Mcintosh in
Australia until January l, 1913, and
in the meantime he may be matched
with Jack Johnson for the title.
That hustling little lightweight,
Rudy Unholz, who has been twice
around the world, refuses to be put
down Rudy, after being beaten by
Joe Cans, came back and last winter
made some very creditable fights
around the middle west Rudy, how
ever, is not only fighting himself now,
but he has developed a good feather
weight whom he thinks will prove a
champion in time. The newcomer is
George Horton, who has won a num-
Der of fights at 122 pounds IN the
Rocky mountain country and also in
the west. Rudy thinks so well of him
that he will match the boy against
any 122 FOUNDER for a side bet and IS
and % percent of the purse. At pres
ent Rudy is trying to get on with
Mandot or some of the best light
weights at Memphis, Cleveland and
st. Louis and he hopes to get the win
ner of the Sammy Trott-Knockout
Brown match.
Jim Corbett, one of the cIeverest
heavyweights who ever stepped into
a ring, had a close call at Philadelphia
this week when he was operated on
for appendicitis. Jim has taken the
count for ten seconds twice, but never
did he come so near taking the final
count as during the operation. Jim
has not been in the best of health for
the past year, but he has stuck to his
vaudeville work just the same until
compelled by his doctor to go to the
hospital in an effort to save his life.
Corbett has bookings for the entire
season, but the chances are that he
will be obliged to cancel some of It.
There have been few big men who
could compare with Corbett in clever
ness It is hoped that Gentlemen
Jim" will pull through all right. for
he has been a credit to the boxing
game and has also been most sue
cessful as a vaudeville star
