to he the only place where twenty

johnny thinks that February is too
early for the match end prefers
later date, probably in April However,
there seems TO be good reasons for be
lieving that the match will be made
and that IS something to glory IN, for
real bouts for titles nowadays arc
scarce.
Brown Meets Mccoy.
Pal Brown, the Minnesota light,
weight. who made such sensational
showing against Hugbey Michigan, the
Australian champion, Il month or SIX
weeks ago. put up another sensational
bout against Herb Mccoy of Melbourne,
losing the decision by a shade after
twenty rounds of fierce battling. Nc
Coy was strong at l35 poundss and was
travel the Instance at top speed. Brown,
too, was in good shape, but not so
strong as when he fought Michigan. Nc
Coy used his cleverness against the
Yankee to good effect and kept out Of
harm s way at times by good footwork.
He was satisfied to win on points
Brown made desperate effort TO
land a knockout in the fourteenth
round, but he tired himself and could
not keep it up in the following ses-
sions. He was there at the bell in the
twentieth round, fighting as strongly
as when he started, and when 1T ended
he turned handspring to show that
he was fresh to continue, if wanted
Pal had no complaint to make about
his loss Of the verdict, but said that
he thought Mccoy a superior light,
Brown proved himself real boxer, and
although Hughcy Michigan scored q
shade decision over him in their second
meeting, he feels confident that he
can whip both Hughey and Mccoy
when he meets them again. Pal had
trained with Owen Moran for his
match-Moran left him in the lurch-
and also with Johnny Summers, who
balked on meeting him, so the chances
are that he was not at his best when
he faced Mehegan the second time.
He is still after Willie Ritchie for
the American championship and cables
that he will be ready to meet the Yam
kee over the Marathon route as soon as
he gets back from the Antipodes.
Carpenter to Australia.
The report that Georges Carpenter,
the French champion, is going to Aus
tralia for one match means that the
vanquisher of Bombardier Wells will
draw down close to 100000 for his end,
and in match against middleweight
in all probability.
Only ten days ago Carpenter was Of
fered 5000 to make the trip for one
match and hes declined. Later he re-
ceived another offer from ''Snowy''
Baker and it is a good bet that it must
have been near the $4,000 mark,
which, with an extra expense of $500
to $4,000 for boat passage, Will bring
the total cost of the match mp to $40,-
600, as McGoorty (if he should be the
good slice for his end. And If it hap
pens to be McGoorty, don be sur
prised if the Badger boy hands the
Frenchman whipping.
Duffy Wants Matches.
Jimmy Duffy, the Buffalo light
eastern champion, is out with a pa
thetic appeal for match with some of
the 13Spound stars, especially Char
lie White, Ad Wolgast or Willie
Ritchie. "All of the stars have been
side-stepping Duffy" writes Bert, "but
we are on their trail and will not stop
until one of them has been landed.
Jimmy has beaten nearly every light
weight of any note, outside of the few
stars left, and now he wants the big
ones. He will meet White, Wolgast,
Rivers or Ritchie any place, any time
and for any reasonable purse, and will
give any one of them side bet if de.
sired. There is no bluff about it as
we will put up the cash any time they
want to come across for n side wager.
The Buffalo clubs have tried hard to
get these stars to box Duffy, but they
have all had engagements when ap.
preached
If Jimmy is unable to make connec.
tions with the shining stars, he viii
have no trouble in hooking up with Pal
Brown when the latter returns from
Australia. for Pal is one of the same
kind-all business when it comes to
matches.
Boost for McAllister.
Bob McAllister, the Pacific coast
mlddleweight, or rather light heavy.
weight. gave himself a big boost at
the expense. Of Battling Levinsky
the other night when ne proceeded to
outpoint the tall and slender Philadel.
phian in ten rounds. Iyevinsky had
been picked to beat the Califor.
ma MI star without much ceremony, but
shucks when it came to doing the tango
and other fancy dances about TIE
carpet.
Levinsky put up great battle. but
he found that his speed was not euual
to that of Robert and no Hrondar for
