y ANsAS CITY, NO, Dec. q

" ANSAS CITY, No, Dec. 22.-There
is going to be another big weller
II weight battle here New Years
dav if the plans of matchmaker Hurst
of the Grand Avenue Athletic club DO
not misccrry. Just who the principals
viii be is still a question, but the DON-
ing fans Of this city would like to see
Harry Brewer and Clarence Ferns IN
another mix this season.
Brewer admitted after his fight with
Ferns a year ago that he was beaten,
yet he believed that he did not fight as
he should and thinks there will be
different story to tell If they meet
again. These welters have had three
battles. The first was declared draw,
in the second Brewer won the decision
By wide margin and In the third Ferns
was the victor. Brewer IS anxious 10
get another battle with the Perry blond
to prove that he is his master.
Defends Both Boys.
Mickey Sheridan. the Chicago light
weight, offers an excellent explanation
for the poor fight given Dy Mcfarland
and Britton in Milwaukee,. He defends
both boys.
1T is bad thing to match a couple
Of clever boxers after they have met SO
many times that neither can DO much
damage to the other" said Sheridan.
Mcfarland is the cleverest man in the
game and BrittOn is second to him.
When they meet they know each other
pect and are able to avoid punishment
much better than as if they had never
met before. They always know lust
what punches are coming and have
their defence formed in advance. The
result is a poor battle from specta-
tors standpoint The promoters knew
this and were to blame for matching
them.
AS far as Packey being barred from
Wisconsin rings is concerned, ] do not
think he viii worry If I mad quarter
of a million I certainly would not be
annoyed by a little thing like that"
Thinks wrestling Brutal.
Sheridan is one boxer who feels sorry
for wrestlers. 1t is funny to hear the
little Irishman express sympathy for
the poor fellows who have to 90 on
the mat and get their arms all twisted
up" as he expresses it, and yet there
is not a wrestler in the country who
would care to fight Tt takes far more
Eameness to be a good fighter than
good wrestler. If you don't believe IT,
ask Frank GOtch. He started as a
fighter, but his start was his finish
Dope emauating from Milwaukee
states that Bill Armour is through
with the Brewers and does not know
what he is going to do next year.

his resignation as market inspector to
the board of health after Is years Of
service. He expects to spend the rest
of his days in a soldiers home near
San Francisco.
Joe Mandot has wired a challenge
to the winner of the Anderson
mas day. MandOt who is regarded as
one of the cIeverest lightweights in
the game, believes that he has re-
gained his old form. His recent bout
with Patsy DrOuillard, at Windsor,
Can, gave evidence that he had not
gone back much.
Packey Mcfarland is out for re-
venge against the Wisconsin state box
ing commission. It is said that efforts
will be made by Mcfarland to secure
a personal interview with governor
Johnson Of Wisconsin and appeal for
fair play. Mcfarland says that the
commission is wholly unqualified to

Packey contends that he was made a
mark by the commission because he
drew down a larger purse than any
boxer has yet received.

So many complaints about the slow
progress Of the work on Ivy Street
have come to The Georgian that an
investigation has been made.
Nearly 400 feet Of the retaining
wall, averaging eight feet, proved to

down and is being rebuilt at cost OF
several thousand dollars.

ready to begin the work at once if

Since the work of regarding Ivy
street was begun last January the
residents Of the street have been
almost totally deprived of its use.
They have been confronted with the
same slow progress that marked the
