too eXcltable a person at present and
at the Klaus Carpenter battle, he ap-
pears TO have completely lost his me-
tai balance. Ladies, who formed a
large section of the crowd, were equal
" TO blame in the diSgraceful scenes
which followed the different bouts.
Carpenter is apparently to have no
rest. for his eXcltable manager has
matched him with Billy Papke and is
dickering for another bout with Klaus.
As If this program was not enough for
one lad to go on with. the Frenchman
is likely to be fixed up with the Aus
traliau. Dave Smith The latter was
present at Dieppe, and on mis- return 10
London expressed his opinion that
French refereeing methods would not
be tolerated In Australia, and though
he is anxious to meet Carpenter he
will not consent to d contest on French
soil. One result Of the fiaScO will be
the absence of British boxers of merit
from battles in Paris, unless some
thing can be done to import capable
referees There was some talk about
French gamblers trying to get to
Klaus and his manager. Engle, TO turn
a trick. but 1 think it was merely talk
and nothing serious"
Al Kaufman, the heavyweight of the
Pacific coast, who at one time was
considered a serious contender for the
crown worn by Jack Johnson, writes
that he has been quite i'll with ma
laria for some time, but is improving
again. Since the above was written,
a few days ago, the announcement
comes that Al is matched to meet
Charlie Miller again July 81 Kauf-
man, in his letter, says: 1T was the
malaria and general weakness that
helped Jim Flynn defeat me at kan
sas City, but I may get him, yet and
turn the tables. I intend to start again
by easy stages and box six months, af-
ter which I may go to Australia, for
Hugh Mcintosh has made me an offer
and would like to go over to that
country, where there are so many
heavyweights at present"
The South African champion, Fred
StOrbeck, who gave Gunner MOir a
hard battle in London, and fought sew
heavies, did not last long in his bout
whit Jim Stewart at New York the
other night Stewart has been one of
the rough and ready sort. but nothing
more than a second rate to the scribes
there, but he had the men from South |
Africa in such a bad condition in the |
sixth round that his seconds tossed /
in the towel This diSposes of one I
more hope. for he had been touted |
highly by some of the Yankees over |
in London who had seen him work
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien seems to
have developed real classy light
weight Ia his younger brother ohm
dagen-known as Young Jack O'Brien.
The youngster has had some severe
-ryOuts against such clever boys as
Young Erne, Tommy O'TOole, Ad VOL |
CAST and Young Brown, of New York
He gave a splendid exhibition of sci |
7nce against WOlgaSt and had an /
even break with him at the end of six /
rounds. In his battle with Young /
Brown in New York he had all the |
pest Of the going, winning the naws-
paper decision In all the papers. Brown I
s considered a tough lightweight and /
me who is after Wolgast, so it makes
Young Jack look all the better Old /
lack has been a good teacher and the
chances are that he will nurse him
llOng properly, for he knows the bcne-
its to be derived from good match /
making. It will not be surprising to
lear of Young Jack being matched
With WOlgast over the long route for
he title within another year, unless
I'd should drop the title in the mean
line. Jack will begin to take on
weight in another couple of years,
icing only 10 now, and he will develop
nto a welter and no doubt a middle
weight later on.
