GIBBONS AND
 M'FARLAND B0U
 ON MARCH g NOW

The new date set for the Packey McF' 'arland- Mike Gibbons bout is March g. The original date for this bout was February 12, but a few days ago Billy Gibson, manager of the Gar den A. C., New York, decided to post pone the bout until later date because the original day selected was a ho1i-s day, and bitter experiences have taught boxing promoters that a holi-. day is poor date to select for a bout in Manhattan. The old condi- lions regarding weight are still in eff feet. 4
 Ever since the change in the date of the bout an erroneous idea has pre- vailed in Chicago that the bout was declared off. Gibson has tried to ex-s plain by saying, ''The bout is not off, but merely postponed to a more suit able date"

BOXING NOTES
CT. s. Andrews.)

Some of the old timers are still
 there with the goods. At Butte,
 Montana, last week, Maurice Thomu-
 son. who is considered an old-time |Iirhtweieht. appeared in the semi
 windup at show there and fought a
 husky young fellow named Harry
 Forbes (not the bantam ehamp1On1. ).
 Thompson, despite his many years of
 service in the ring, put up lively
 contest and beat his man. There was
 a time when Maurice was considered
 one of the best Hgntweights on the
 coast and he also held the proud dis
 tinction of having defeated the late
 Stanley Ketche1, in ten rounds in
 1904. However, he Is about through
 with the ring and simply took this
 match to show. that he was still there with the goods. In the windup of this show there appeared a very c1ev- CT little featherweight. or to be more correct, a bantamweight, for he can make 116 pounds if necessary.
 The youngster is Jimmy Fox, the Pacific coast bantam, who was re- gently defeated by Johnny Kflbane in a hard battle at Oakland, California.
 Fox was picked up by sammy Me CIfntic, the former manager of Dick HyIand and Sammy is sure that he
 has got the coming featherweight champion. Fox fought a young fellow named Tally Johns and while it was called 8 draw the papers as a rule gave It 10 Fox The youngster intends to visit
 the east and will then try and get on with some of the stars in both the bantam and featherweight classes.
 Tommy Burns acted the part of ayenger at Taft, Cal, this week when he annihi1ated 6 tough young fighter there named Battling Brant- A few days previous the citizens of that place sent Kid Kenneth, young giant, against Arthur Pelkey, the white hope whom Tommy had brought out, and put him to sleep in l one round. It was a severe blow to Tommy and he vowed revenge. He 1 got it when he met the other young giant of the town by giving him a sleep producer in four rounds
 That was getting back through a third party, but Tommy is not satfs- fled and now wants to meet the man
 who beat PeIkey, the husky Ken meth. eff can beat him. said Tom
 my, ''then I will go after Gunboat Smith for a real championship bat tle." It may be that Tommy needs the money, but I doubt it., and the only reason for him to go after the big fellows. after being out of the game quite 8 time, is love of the sport and inability to keep out of the spotlight. If he tackles Smith he
 will be pumping hard game

Chicago, June S.-Roosevelt' S
claim that he discovered 900 mile
river in Brazil is disputed by Rev.
Bernard Murray, pastor of St. Ber-
nard's church, Englewood. The riv-
er which the Bull Moose chief says
he had put on the map" has been
on the map for the last 225 years, ac-
cording to Father Murray.
Father Murray produced a 225-
year-old map to back up his denial of
the Roosevelt discovery.
The river of which Colonel Roose-
welt claims to he the discoverer is the
MADEIRA or Madeira, if Father Muir
rays deductions are correct. The
colonel simply re-discovered the Ma
deira, Father Murray says.
The map which Father Murray ex-
hibited is printed in a quaint old vol
ume entitled Geography Rectified," +"
which was published in London in
1858, and of which Robert Morden
was the author.

MAY RESULT IN THE
GREATEST RAILWAY STRIKE
TBy Associated Press. /

Chicago, June S.-A strike vote of
90, 900 engineers and firemen. on
ninety-eight railways west of Chi
cago. is ordered.
The negotiations have been in pro-
gress for nearly three months. Prac-
ically every railway in the United
States west of Chicago. including the
Illinois Central and all lines in Cam
ada west of Fort William, except the
Grand Pacific, are involved.
The strike vote will effect work
ers on these 100000 miles of railway
who receive about $67,750,000 year
ly in wages.
According to statement issued by
the general managers committee, the
request of the men would increase
the payrolls approximately so per
cent year.
