CuRLEY SAYS JOHNSON
 HAS COLD FEET
Tom Jones, the Champions Manager States That Willard Would Either Fight in Juarez or Not at All.

Tom Jones. manager for Jess Will lard has announced in Fl Paso that Jess Willard would either fight in .Juarez or not at all Jones, for stock in the WieI-AIeber syndicate, which is promoting the fight, as a guarantee of Wizards part of the purse, and he is in position to dictate where the fight shall be held. Jones says:
 We are oGt more than $1S000 on this fight already. Consider what we will lose if the fight is not held. This would be a total loss if we went else where, and, besides, I would never consent to stalking it in Havana for many reasons. Tex Rickard is the only man I, would sign up with a fight away from Il Paso. and I do not believe he is to be considered seri- ously.''
 Wiel and Weber received three ca bles from Promoter Curley, and he is still hopeful of getting the negro to come to Juarez, although he has again requested Nillard's terms for a fight there.
 Johnson has bad case of cold feet Curley says. He has been have Q motive in making him believe that he will be shot at sunrise if he enters Mexico. But the cash Guaran- : tee of S30,000 cabled Johnson by local business men IS having its eHect, and he may yet be induced to come.'' Jim Flynn is now looking for Curley as he cannot collect any of his eX- pense money and has no fight ir sight.
 Jack CurleN approached several Ha- yana men yesterday inquiring if they would back him to the extent of $10,- 000 if he staged the Johnson Willard fight iE Havana instead of at Juarez Mexico The business men took the matter under advisement and will an swer today, but they assured CurleS they were willing to cooperate witI him to every extent possible. Curley declared he needed money to repay certain Ell Paso interests which ad- yanced money for holding the ight at Juarez and before changing the To- cation he must settle with them first Curley still says he thinks it possible to have the fight held at Juarez bu1 it is generally thought he has given LII the idea

 Conspicuous among the strong is sues were the coalers, trans-continent- alS and graLgerS, trunk lines, United States Steel, American Smelling, Ma tional Lead, Amalgamated Copper and some of the less active stocks. Aver age advances ran from one to two points. Canadian Pacific and New Ha- ven scoring greatest gains.

GREAT INTEREST IN
 COMING BOWLING MEET
Atlantic Coast Bowling Association
 Tournament Will Be Held in Boston in May

Bowlers throughout the entire east
 ern part of the United States are
 showing great interest in the tourna-
 ment plans for Boston in May. The
 Atlantic Coast Bowling association
 having members in every state along
 the Atlantic seaboard, has already done
 more to cement friendship in the diff
 ferent localities than any organization
 in the history of bowling. The fact
 that there will be used in the tourna-
 ment the several styles of bowling in
 dulged in the associations territory, has met with the approval of bowIers
 ot all the districts. Each naturally
 believes that his style of pin game is
 best and is desirous of showing it in
 a locality where different games are
 rolled.
 Conditions existing in the east are unlike those anywhere else in the United States. This section in many
 places has outgroWn the ten-pin game and developed various ten-pin and duck pin styles for use with small ball. However when you cross the state line in Massachusetts, and head west, nothing is encountered but ten pins.
 1 fPennsylTanil is also a tempt state. while the rest of the eastern country 1 is divided between ten pins and ducks. Duck pin bowIers in New England, l with the exception of New Haven. 1 Conn.,. use a small duck-pin. New Haven, though surrounded by duck l pin cities, remains true to the ten-pin game. In the soutf a larger ball and l pin are used. That style of game will be bowled in Boston as well as the style known to New England bowIers. ] The best candle-pin bowlers from Maine New Hampshire and Vermont, as well as the leading cities in Massa- chusetts will have their best men in action in the Boston tournament. 1 Springfield will be well represented in 1 the meet. In addition to teams which are already famous for having com peted in big tournaments, there will
 be scores of teams bowling candle pins
 at the tournament, who never parti- 1 cipated in one before. The fact that 1 the large entry list will insure a cor l lrespondinsiy long list of prizes is 1 proving an attractive proposition to boWlers all over the east. Already a special train has been arranged for l to carry bowlers from New York state. The train will start from Buff l falo, and at various points along the i line, special cars will be added It will the first bowlers' special that ever came into New England.
 l There is every indication that there 1 will be 2. Boston pin event in the tour 1 nament, because enterprising follow eras of the Boston pin are far sighted
 enough to realize that this will give | the pin 9 standing throughout the 1 United States which it never had and the. first tournament of the Atlantic
 Coast Bowling association There will be at least 200 candle-pin teams, 200 Iten-pin teams and 100 New England
 duck, and 100 southern duck-pin teams entered.

SHuGRUE'S LOSS BIG
 TO BOXING GAME.
Jersey City Scrapper Obliged to Quit the Game for a Long Time, and
 Perhaps for Good, Owing to Eye Injury.

The injury ct Joe ShuSrue's eyes,
 which will probably keep him out of
 the boxing game for long time and
 perhaps for good, comes as great
 blow to the boxing fans of the world
 as well as to the little Jersey scrapper
 and his manager, Pete Fitzgerald. To
 be obliged to quit duty when right at
 his best and while within reach of the
 worlds championship is enough
 to dishearten any boy. Thers is no
 doubt but what Joe Shusrue is one of
 the best if not the best lightweight in
 the world today. Twice he has de- feated Champion Freddie Welsh in 10
 round bouts, and Welsh has refused
 to meet Shugrue in 20 round battle for the lightweight title. Shugrue beat Cross a couple of times, and has trim med all of the first division light
 weights. He has worked his way along until at the present time boxing eX- perts all over the country declare Joe as the coming lightweight champion of the world. But his injury coming at this time may mean the end of his boxing career even though he should recover sufficiently to re-enter the ring. A long layoff at tlais stage of his career would most naturally inter fere with his progress and put him back many pegs. Shugrue has been boxing for five years, and not until
 recently was he pushed to the front. He dubbed around with Tommy Lee for four years or so and was prac- tica1ly unheard of. Not long ago Pete
 Fitzgerald took hold of Shugrue and rushed him to the front right off the reel. The Jersey City boy has long
 had the making of champion and should have been rushed to the front long ago. He has everything neces- saDy to 8 lightweight champion, and since being under Fitzgerald's wing has improved great deal. Every fight fan the jS
 worked up over Shugrue's injury, and he has the sympathy of every one connected with the sport. Shugrue' s eyes will be operated on, according to reports, and then it is expected spe- cialistS will be able to tell whether or not the lightweight win ever be back in harness. Shugrue is one of the
 cleanest and best little boxers in the
 game today and has the respect of
 everyone. He is well known in Con-

MIKE GIBBONS ANXIOUS TO ~ TACKLE HEAVYWEIGHTS
Holder of MiddIeweight Title Believes He Gan Beat Some of the Big Fei-

Mike Gibbons, the sensational boxer. of St. Paul, and holder of the middle weight championship of the world, is now anxious to tackle the leading white heavyweigllts. The ''St. Louis ghost believes he would not experi- ence any difficulty in defeating any of the present day class of big fellows. Mike is particularly anxious for a wllack. at Gunboat Smith. Jimmy Johnson. matchmaker of the Madison Square Garden A. c. of New York, is after the battle, and it is more than likely that the pair will meet in the near future. There are many who be- lieve Gibbons would have little trouble in defeating Smith. Mike is considered the classiest boxer that has ever step- ped into the ring. In addition to being wonderfully clever he has a knockout Kick in his right and left fists. As far as middleWeights are concerned Gib- bonS has them all outclasSed.
