Ritchie-M urphy Go
Has Been Set Back;
Boxers Clash Jan. 30

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan l4.-Once
again Champion Richie has been
compelled to resort to the rest cure,
and the bout with Tommy Murphy
has been pu: over another week.
The first postponement was due to
an abscess forming in Willie's nose.
This time he has strained his achilles
tendon while doing road work and
his throbbing heel has laid him on
his back. The contest which was to
have taken place on January 20 has
been dated afresh for January 80,
and in the meantime the forfeit each
boxer was required to furnish at the
making of the match has been in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000.
Jim Buckley, manager of Tommy
Murphy, is so stunned at the way
fate is making a football of the Har-
lem lightweight that he has scarcely
a word to say. He swears, however,
that sun spots will never appeal to
him as forerunners of mundane hap
penings until they predict the disas-
tiers that will befali Champion Richie
while training.
AT that it might have been worse. "
said Buckley. Fancy if his Maginnis
tandem had gone back on him the
night before the fight the way his
nose did"

Manager Nolan and myself were
besieged with offers from theatrical
men all over the country. We looked
them all over carefully, and finally
decided to sign up for six solid
months over the Sullivan & Considine
circuit. This looked like the Invest
offer of the bunch, so it did not take
us long to come to terms at a fat
salary.

Many of the fans all over the

QUIT VOL JOBS
President and Manager Likely to
Withdraw for Sake of Peace

\ JASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. IA
" President Hirsig and Manager

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan IL
~ President Hirsig and Manager
Schwartz are both likely to
resign their offices within the next
few days, thereby bringing about
peace in the camp of the Nashville
club. At present it looks as though
the only way success can come to the
Vols is by both Withdrawing.
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Nashville baseball club, held here
last night, the friends of President
Hirsig controlled and elected board
of directors with a majority favorable
to the president. The board of di-
rectors took no action as to electing a
president and manager. but will hold
meeting within the next few days
for that purpose.
1t is understood that a harmonious
basis will be reached by the probable
resignation of President Hirsig and
the selection of another manager
rather than Bill Schwartz.
Chancellor Allison yesterday after
noon dissolved an injunction secured
by William G. Schwartz, manager of
the local baseball club, preventing
President w. G. Hirsig from voting
26 shares of stock OF the association
at the annual meeting here Tuesday
night. II was shown that President
Hirsig had rIghtfully purchased the
stock from DR.. w. B. Lee and that
he had been voting it for the past
eight months. Chancellor Allison held
that the injunction granted Mr..
Schwartz was invalid.

thorough coaching will turn out a
good team they will make showing
equally as well as most of the older
teams this season. Coach Heisman
has most of the squad working every
afternoon for a couple of hours.
Professor Randall is having some
difficulty in arranging the games, but
he will probably have all the con-
tracts signed within few days, theu
a definite schedule will be announced.
THE most promising candidates for
the quintet this season are the
Columbus boys and few others.
Captain Bradley Is showing excellent
form at guard, despite his light weight
and only one years experience. Ri
vars, Vaughn and Mitchell, three
first year men, are playing good. ball.
The forwards are not so hard to
pick: Cushman, johnson and Spence
are decidedly the best. Cushman and
Johnson were two of the best players
on the football team this season. II
they play basket ball as well as foot
ball they will give the team two VAL
liable men. Cushman has had three
years experience on the Chattanooga
High School team, and was one Of
the best prep players in Tennessee
last season. He Is light on his feet
and very accurate shooter at close
distances.

GUNNER SMITH
IN BAD FIX FOR
RING BAT Tiles
fastener Has Whipped Them All
Except Carpenter and Johnson,
and They Won't Meet Him.
By w. w. Naughton.

NAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-There
seems to be nothing left for Gun
~ boat Smith but the footlights.
He has defeated the entire army OF
white hopes and has, in addition,
gained decision over Sam Langford,
who for years had been a terror to
big men of all compilations.
He has reached a stage where there
are but two matches in sight for him
which do not SAVIOR of repetition, to-
wit: One with Georges Carpenter
and the other with Jack Johnson.
WORD comes that Carpenter is
w going to Australia and that
Johnson has placed Gunboat on the
deferred list.
Under the circumstances, all that
remains for Smith is to accept what
ever theatrical engagements have
been offered him, invest in a natty
stage costume and start punching the
bag TO slow music.
He can add a bit Of snap to his ap-
pearance by challenging Johnson
nightly.
lack JOHNSON, talking with his
J arm in splints over in Paris, says
it will be quite a while before he gets
around to Gunboat Smith. The first
Of the Johnson matches will be with
Frank Moran, whom Smith defeated
in San Francisco
This will take place in June, and il
Johnson is to be believed he is guar
l,f on
that occasion.
But there's the rub. Is johnson to
be believed?
It's only few weeks ago that re-
ports from Paris had Johnson so low
in finances and so bereft of drawing
power that he was showing nightly
with travelling circus that did not
take in as much as 5000 per show.
Then came the news that Johnson
had made up his mind to fight again
and had arranged a match with Bat
ling johnson, another negro.
Johnson's return to the ring natur-
ally aroused interest, but at that the
proceeds of the Johnson Johnson bout
we're less than $4,000.
Why, then, should any sane pro-
moter guarantee Jack johnson $35,-
600 for boxing frank Moran, who
probably is only a slightly better card
than Battling johnson?
TACK says that he will box Sam
J Langford in Paris in the latter
part of June, provided the 100000 he
mas demanded is Forthcoming. Here,
again, there is chance for COMPARE
sons When Langford and Jean
nette boxed in Paris recently they
drew $1,000, whereas Johnson and
Johnson merely drew a scant $4,000.
The inference is that Johnson,
even though he is the worlds cham
pion, Is not as much of an attraction
with the French sports as Sam Lang
ford, and, such being the case, it
looks as though Jack will have hard
time persuading the promoters that
his end of the Langford- johnson gate
should amount to 100000
Johnson may have contests with
Moran and Langford in view, but
common sense suggests that Jack is
drawing the long bow in regard to
what he is to receive.
MEANWHILE Gunboat Smith will
NI have to take a back seat until
Johnson has finished his June sched-
ule, And If the bouts with Moran
and Langford are genuine sporting
events, 1t is quite possible that john
son will have no championship to de-
fend by the time Gunboats turn
comes.
