and in good condition. he can come
around and get bout with Weinert
The only stipulation that Percy
Woodruff makes in regard to the
match is that White must be in the
best of shape so that he will not be
in a position to make any excuses
after weinert gives him another good
beating.
Admirers of Matty Mcdonald, the
local boxer, are anxious to have him
meet Young Cardell in a bout OF
longer duration than is staged at Gus
Troxler,s Central Institute. A COM
munication signed by two of his
friends would seem to indicate that
they would go all the way to New
York to see the pair battle. That
there is interest brewing is evident
from the following letter:
J. P. N:
Several arguments have come about
as a result Of the Cardell- Mcdonald
bout att the Central Institute last
Monday night. Now, as you may re-
call, Mcdonald has defeated Cardell
in two previous bouts. Why not
settle all disputes by matching them
for a ten-round bout at some New
York club? Believe me, j. p. N, well
be there with some Mcdonald money

as result of his fight in Los Angeles
last night with Bull Young. Willard
won in the eleventh round, but in
doing so he hit Young so hard and
Young hit the floor SO hard that the
beaten man Is now in a hospital in
a most precarious condition. AS q
fighter, little is known of Young
About year ago he was employed as
a trainer for the late Luther Nc
Carly, and he has done nothing thai
would entitle him to a match with
Willard. The bout was a bad one
at best, with Willard overwhelming
practically a novice. 1t is said OF
Willard that he is peculiar" and il
might be said with much truth that
he is crazy like a fox. He is keeping
away from the East, where the going
is the toughest, and he Is picking VI
all the easy marks possible in the
West. The only man of any account
whom Willard fought on the coast
was Gunboat Smith. Jess was beaten
in a bout that lasted the limit UI
to that time he had done SO well
among his accomplishments being a
victory over McCarty, that he was
being touted as the only white hope
who had a chance with Jack Johnson
Then he got into trouble in Buffalo
by not keeping a return date there
after having beaten our own Sailor
White in short order. He went West
after that and hasn't been back East
since. Should Young's injuries prove
fatal it is not likely that Willard
will be held. The report says thai
"Young's head struck the floor of thu
ring with such force that the fall
caused cerebral hemorrhage." Tha
would seem to indicate that the fall
not the blow, caused the injury.

Some fighters have become famou:
through fatalities in the ring. Their,
lis Arthur Pellxy, for instance. He Il
getting considerable notoriety now
yet he was looked upon as a pur,
mutt boxer before Luther McCarty
his opponent, died in the ring. Tom
my Burns is managing Pelky and h,
is being groomed for a bout will
Gunboat Smith. In the meantim
Pelky is to play stage engagement
and he Is being billed as the whit
champion because he beat McCarty
who was generally admitted as hav
ing been the best man in the whit
hope class. That's the way tn
game goes-gaining a reputation a
the price Of a life

While there has been, and still is
a lot of talk, investigation and nu
merous meetings in regard to tn
alleged ringers" who competed a
the recent Diocesan Union field da.
meet, 1t mas been source or Surpr15
to me that no one has as yet com
; forward with a proposition of SOM
kind that would tend to prevent an.
disagreeable aftermath at futur
meets held by the union. After think
ing it over 1t appears to me that
change in one or two rules concern
, ing the entrants would help Il
straighten things out and do ava.
with these yearly protest meetings.
AS this is a yearly meet all of tn
clubs desirous of entering team
have plenty of time to line up rnei
, athletes and have the entries file
with the secretary of the c. A. A. L
two or, better still. three weeks be
fore the games. The men could b
handicapped and the list publishe
, at least week before the meet
which ought to give anyone a chanc
to pick out any ineligible competi
tors. A rule that needs to b
, stricken out, in my humble opinion
, is the one which permits an athlet
to compete for a d. u. club who ha
been competing for an out-of-tow
: club previous to the union meet
solely because he may reside With
the jurisdiction of the union.
In writing this letter 1t has bee
nv aim solely to try to help eradicat
the UNDERSTANDINGS that follows tn
game, and not to cause offense to an
person or persons. Very respectfully
