Taylor Sells Half
Interest in Famous
Boston Red S0x Club

BOSTON, Oct. 28-Haif ownership
in the Boston Red Sox club will pass
into new hands within a few days or
the prospective new stock holders
may come in under certain conditions
with less than half OF the 1000 shares.
Negotiations for the sale OF part of
the club have been going on for over
month.
Attorney Charles III. Hill. who has
already acted several times as agent
in the sale of minor league fran
chises, is believed to represent the
prospective new owners of stock in
the Boston club, whose names are
withheld for the time being.
Mr.. Hill when seen today would
neither affirm nor deny he was up to
his tricks again. 1t .is known here
that General Taylor, one Of the large
stock holders of the club,sis desirous
of limiting his investment in base
ball. AS the Taylors hold 80 shares
of the common stock of the Red Sox
club, which stock carries the voting
power, it is safe to assume that the
Taylor end has been the object OF At
torney Hills diplomacy

shares with Jimmy Clabby the right
to the middle weight crown, may
never don another glove in Wiscon-
sin, and for that may be barred from
participating in any of the rings
where boxing is legal. Steps were
taken today to have the middle
weight barred because of his failure
to go through with his November
match in Milwaukee with Jack Dill

agreed to the meeting.
The Wisconsin state boxing COM

Miller and Smith Ready to
Punch Each Other on
Friday Night

NEW YORK, Oct 2s.-On account of
the Ritchie-Cross bout. which was
scheduled to be held at Madison Square
garden tomorrow night. being sud
denly postponed till November 10, con-
Siderable confusion was eceasioned in
local boxing circles. Because of the
scheduled leader bout most of the
other clubs did not arrange star bouts
for this week. The postponement of
the big garden event started the other
boxing promoters scurrying around to
arrange rush" cards
The Atlantic Garden Athletic club
is on deck with a 10 round bout be-
tween Gunboat Smith and Charley
Miller, the California heavy weights.
The native sons will crawl through
the ropes at the Bowery club on FRI
day night. To the lovers of real old
fashioned suggests the bout should be
a treat.
Through his aggressive battling in
his bout with Al Palzer at the st.
Nicholas rink, Miller won a warm
spot in the hearts of local lovers OF
hsticuffs The big Greek from the
sunset slope of the Rockies did not
show any great knowledge of the
manly art. His Workmanship was
poor and his punch did not appear
particularly strong.
His Willingness to fight and fight
at top speed all of the way took with
the fans, however. Miller never
back ed up and never stopped trying
to get his opponent 1t doesn't
seem probable that Smith will at
tempt any stalling in the coming en-
counter. 'Gunboat'' is anxious to re-
habilitate himself with local fans for
his poor showing in his bout with
Carl Morris.
Many of the fans thought Smith
showed the white feather in the re-
cent Garden affair. Jim Buekley's
protege knocked out Tony Ross in
Boston last week and viii try to
hand Miller dreamland pass on Fri
day night.

and a request will be sent to other
states where boxing Is handled by a
commission asking that they bar him.
Recently Tom Andrews of Milwau-
kee signed Dillon, and then negoti-
ated with McGoorty's manager.
Tommy Walsh All was set for the
occasion until two days ago, when
Eddie sent word that, besides the 80
per cent offered by the club, he must
have a guarantee of $1,750. The club
balked and Eddie cancelled the match.
1t is believed that the indianapolis
promoters had something TO do with
the change of mind. Incidentally, the
mixup cost Walsh his job, for Eddie
declares he never authorized the MAX
ing of the match.
Milwaukee has decided to lift the
ban on heavy weights. and November
10 is likely to see Carl Morris and
Jess Willard In action. Tom Jones
practically closed negotiations for
that date, and the promoter is now in
communication with Morris. Jones
declares he still is manager of VOL
CAST and that Ad won't fight for sew

You See, It's This Way


yVYHEN two ringsfers who de-
w pend largely upon their right
hand punches to win them
their battles get together there
usually is something well out of
the ordinary cut loose. Two
right handlers must necessarily
try to beat each other to it,
with the right and thus create a
lot of excitement. This is ex-
actly what happened when
George Chip. the Scranton middle
weight, met Frank Klaus Of
Pittsburg the other night in
Pittsburg. ring. Klaus was
knocked cold as a wedge in the
sixth round because Chip hap
pened" to be the man who got
there first with terrific right
swing. It's not often that one
can call a punch lucky, because
in the very nature of things
every punch that is let fly cer-
tain1y is meant for some vulner-
able point on an opponents
fghting front. Therefore it can
hardly be called lucky when such
a punch lands unless it happens
that the man who lands it is
groggy at the time and doesn't
know what he's doing.

their rates to a reasonable extent in order to
