FRANK BELT, the veteran man
ageT, has made a proposition
to the Keokuk fans to finance their
club in the Central association in
return for a bonus of 5000. The
club lost over 5000 last year and
the proposition is sure to be &C
cepted. The idea is good one and
might be worked here Anyway,
it's worth thinking over.
RUEN0S AIRES plans to get into
the fistie game in real earnest
next spring and Jack curley-not
Tex Richard, as might be imagined
lis to be promoter IN chief. The
plans call for a heavyweight title
bout between Jess Willard and the
best man that can be secured to
meet him; a middleweight title bout
between Mike Gibbons and Les Oar
cy; a lightweight bout between
Freddie Welsh and Charlie White,
and a bantam bout with Johnny
Ertle and Kid Williams. All that
remains is to get the fighters to
sign That's enough.

CHARLIE SOMERS IS surely hav-
ing his troubles. Cieveland's
American league club was losing

that there was no bottom to the
hole into which he dropped his
money. And now it looks as though
the Cleveland American league fran

HERE'S hoping that Chris Fox

and will stir up interest, which is
sadly lacking right now, though
