the Judgment. He will have plenty Of
advice. though. If he will only give
his best efforts and race as fast as
he is capable of racing.

Joe Fogler would be just the man
star out of him. Joe is a driver -
and he has the brains, and he might
be able to develop the big Fellow
into a champion. Fogler would be
tickled to take Cavanagh under his
wing, for Joe has aspirations to be-
come a manager. That would give
him a start, and success for Cav
anagh would mean success for him.
With Fogler's brains and Cavanagh's
speed it would take Kramer at his
best to whip such a combination. Joe
Is also a battler, and that means that
the fans would be treated to a lot of
interesting arguments, the kind that
used to please the fans so In the days
when MacFarland used to be arguing
for his point. The game, too. would
be greatly benefited II Cavanagh were
to come on and be the contender for
the championship. It would bring
out the American rooters, for we all
want an American to succeed Kra-
mer.
The Popularity Contest for Cy-
clists" being conducted by the Eve
ming Star is the talk of the town
Everybody seems to be discussing the
probable winner and to be saving the
coupons that appear daily in this
newspaper. The first installrnent of
votes is published today. All the
riders are taking big interest in
engaged campaign managers. One
thing the boys should remember Is to
turn in their votes, in order to show
their friends that they are in the
and are making a good show
ing. Those who hold back will lose
many ballots, for some of their faint
hearted admirers who have a second
choice may shift their support. The
Overland Speedster that goes to the
winner will be on exhibition at the
Velodrome tomorrow, and Jimmy
will drive 1t around the track.

Although Billy Murray, the Califor-
MIA middleweight. gave AL Mccoy, the
If accidental, champion, an
artistic whipping in their ten-round
bout on Thursday night, he didn't get
either the big end of the purse or the
title for his pains. In the division of
the money, Murray received thirty per
cent, while McCoy's share was
per cent. The winners end
to s1,97s and the loser took
down s2,3os. So there is something in
being the champion.

While the clubhouse was almost
filled with enthusiastic followers of
the game, and the prices ranged from
81 to 81, the fight drew only $6,597.
This amount was way below the va
rious estimates of the receipts made
on the night of the battle. Tom Mes.
senger, a pretty good judge of such
said there was between $780,
900 and $4,000 in the house, and
Jimmy Britt, the. actor-pugiIist, who
has fought before many big crowd,
said there was more than $4,000 in the
box office. The fight itself was a
most interesting one, but the amount
Of money 1t drew was disappointing,
and Murray will not want to stick
around here very long if his share for
a bout with a champion is less than
81, 900.

Though beaten, Mccoy showed great
in his fighting, and those
who saw him in his previous efforts
were delightfully."- surprised. Before
he defeated George Chip, and thereby
secured the championship, Mccoy was
looked upon as only third-rater.
His style was weird, he lacked ag-
and he wouldn't mix 1t
for the world. He always had a wal
lop, though, and wallop is likely to
get you by any time. This was the
rase when McCOy met Chip and
