Pelky-Smith Battle
For Sept. MAYBE

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1S.-Ar-
thur Pelky and his manager, Tommy
Burns, are in town. Pelky came here
in quest of ring battles, and picked as
his choice for first battle "Gunboat'
Smith. Burns and his fighter held a
long conference with Jimmy Coffroth
and if arrangements can be made
Pelky and Smith will furnish the La
Dor Day card in this city. Pelky had
little to say. Burns doing all the talk
ing
There will be a general DISPOSE
ton to look upon Pelky as ring ac-
cident, just as the people tagged
Willie Richie as a false alarm" said
Burns.
This is mistake. My man has
had IS fights without having had a
decision given against him He made
Jess Willard quit cold, and he stopped
Jim Barry in five rounds All that ne
needs is the opportunity to prove that
he is the best heavyweight boxer in
the game to-day"

WISCONSIN BOXING BILL
Is SIGNED BY GOVERNOR

MILWAUKEE, WIS, July IS
Governor Francis McGovern has
signed the Hedding boxing bill and
the sport becomes legalized in Wis
consin the same as in New York
State.
Governor McGovern had protests
from many sources. but stated that
he considered that in view of thou
sands of petitions in favor of the
sport it was only just to the majority
that they should be given chance to
show that boxing under proper con-
ditions is much better than under no
law at all.
1t will now be up to the Governor
to appoint commission to handle
the boxing game in the State

r ERES a little tip for the men
who bet good con on the re-
suits of encounters in the box
ing arena. Never stop betting on
a champion of any class until he has
been beaten. The suggestion of such
a theme for a little fighting story is
brought up by the manner in which
the Joe Rivers supporters lost so
heavily on the Los Angeles boy in
his battle with Willie Richie, in San
Francisco, July a. Incidentally, the
idea Of IL was brought out forcibiy
by some remarks that Battling Nelson
made the day after the holiday while
the famous iron man of the light
weight class was discussing results
and cOngratulating himself on having
picked six out of seven winners after
having bet personally on three of
them and falling to get down on the
one loser that he picked.
1T is a foolish thing to bet against
a champion, even if you don't like
him personally and haven't such Il
high opinion of his fistic merits be-
cause, according to Bat Nelson. cham
pions always win a lot of battles in

RINGSIDE NOTES

Chicago boxing critics are working
hard these days trying to force Willie
Richie into match with either Packey
Mcfarland or Jack BrittOn. Both boys
hail from the Windy City and have met
practically every boy of note during the
past two years.
frankie Whitney is certainly reaping
in the dough these days. The Cedar
Rapids lighting carpenter" will take on
Rudy Unholz in a scheduled 1O-round
battle at Denver on Friday night and
it is a pretty safe bet that frankie will
get at least as good as draw. During
the past six months Whitney has had
nearly a dozen battles.
Many fans are picking Matty Bald
win to prove a stumbling block for
Leach Cross when the pair exchange
blows at Los Angeles on July 90. Al
though Matty has fought nearly 300
knockout. He also holds 20round
verdict over Willie Richie.
Kid Julian, the Syracuse feather
weight has accepted terms to meet
Cal Delaney, of Cleveland. in a l2-round
bout at Cleveland on July &c. Both
boys are hghtweights.
Charles Ledoux, the French bantam
weight champion, is in bad shape from
the beating handed him by Kid Will
liams at Los Angeles the early part
Of this week 1t may be months before

will be able to don the gloves again.

is to make his next fight against Fred
die Hicks at Butte. Mont, on August 2.
The pair are scheduled TO go twelve
rounds.
Steve Ketchel the tough little light
weight from Chicago, added another
victory to his list Wednesday night by
defeating Phil knight. The former was
awarded the battle in the seventh round

BRITTON REAL

|HICAGO, July 1S.-Not since the
days when Frank Garrard and
Martin Duffy. of this city,
looked TO be pretty fair champion
ship material in the lightweight class
have the local fight fans been so
anxious to see a Chicagoan get
crack at the title. Neither Garrard
nor Duffy ever made good in their
day. but they were just as highly
regarded along in the late 9Os as
are Jack Britton and Packey McFar-
land. present-day Chicago champions.
Both Jack and Packey have a world
of friends right here, and to say that
they have their ears to the ground
listening for some sort Of a favorable
report from the champion on the diff
ferent propositions that have been
hurled at him is putting it mildly.
pACKEY, while not Issuing any di-
rect challenges, has let it be made
known to Richie that nothing would
delight him more than to take him
on in 20-round contest. providing
the weight bars be lowered just a
little more, say another pound, let
ing the stock yards favorite in at
135 pounds, with the scaling done
several hours in advance of the bat
Farland caliber it is not likely that
the champion will consent at all to
any such an arrangement. He in
sisted upon 1874 pounds for Rivers,
and then trimmed the Los Angeles lad
to the queens taste, If queens have
any particular taste in such matters.
But from 1874 pounds three hours or
so before to 1876 pounds five or six
hours before is a vast gap that even
the keen Richie eye is not likely to
measure lightly.
PUT the Britton case is hugely diff
II ferent Here is a boy who boldly
fiaunts this offer in the champions
face: Make the weight. any figure
that you choose" and then awaits the
answer. Now, that leaves absolutely
no loopholes for excuse or room for
a single argument. Britton simply
does not care what the poundage is,
says so, and there rests his case.
What will the answer be, to say moth
ing of the harvest?
MO sane man could ever accuse
' Willie Richie of cowardice The
man who jumped into the breach with
Freddie Welch when AID Wolgast was
taken to the hospital and fought the
English star almost to a standstiE
with but a few hours notice. then
whaled Ad Wolgast out of his title
and went in and slugged with Joe
Rivers at the latter's own game, is
possessed, as Bill Naughton saws. of
a lions heart. But Willie is a finan-
cier along with his other accom-
plishments and is not likely to enter
into any contracts that do not promise
the brightest Of monetary returns
There isn't a doubt that if some pro-
moter can see his way clear to offer
ing the right sort of a prize for the
champion he will lend himself to the
match Then we will see a real old
time battle between two of the great
est men that ever drew on pair of
gloves

Ohio Swept By Big Flood.
Heavy Rains Cause Rivers TO
Overflow. Dam Breaks.
Many Lives Lost.

Leaving death and destruction in its
wake, what is said to be the biggest flood
in the history of the State swept Ohio
Tuesday of this week, taking the toll of
of many lives, and entailng a property
loss amounting to millions of dollars.
Columbus, the capital of the State, was
practically issolated because of destruc-
ton of telegraph and telephone wires and
the washing out of bridges which made
operations on railroads impossible.
At Dayton, Ohio, probably the worst
condition in the State prevails. Esti-
mates of the number of dead from the
flood there range from SO to rs, and the
principal streets of the city are covered
with 10 to Is feet of water, the Miami
river, given impetus by the breaking of
the Laramie dam, flooding the business
sections and sweeking dwellings before
it. 1t is stated that at least 80, 600 peo-
pie were homeless in Dayton and her four
suburbs.
Dispatches from Bellefortaine, Ohio,
state tnat passenger tram plunged lilto
a stream at West Liberty, the bridge
having been washed away.
At Toledo, a freight train went thro
bridge and three of the crew drowned
Cincinnati experienced cloudburst,
and many streets were flooded.
Lima, Ohio, was flooded by the Ottawa
river. Ten miles of trains were held up
there on account of washouts on various
railroads.
At Springfield, Ohio, several hundred
houses were flooded.
Many cities in Indiana were damaged
by high water, Fl. Wayne experiencing
the highest water in 20 years. At Mar
ion and Ellwood hundreds of persons had
to flee for their lives. Many are home
less.
At Youngstown, Ohio, factories had to
be closed on account of the flood, and
ID. 900 men are idle.
