Promoters Are Planning Trio
of Championship Bouts
for the Near Future.
OTHER FISTIC GOSSIP

After a period Of stirring Incident in
pugilism a temporary lull has set in that
bids fair to continue until the army of
paid press agents begin beating their
tom toms and ballyhooing to attract
the attention OF the sportively inclined
public toward the approaching world 5
championship battle between Willard and
Moran.
Ring history has been written in large
letters recently.
To begin with a heavyweight title
match was arranged for a record purse
Of $4,000. a stupendous sum even in
these days Of frenzied finance in affairs
pugillstic.
Preceding this battle there will be a
ten-round encounter between Fred Full
ton and Jim CorTey at New York City
on March s, the purpose of the match
being to give the citiZenry Of the east
a chance to inspect the championship
qualifications of Challenger Fulton.
Then there has been a revival of that
will-o'-the-wisp light weight tussle be-
tween Freddy Welsh and Charley White,
and II the title holder in this division is
In earnest about his announced willing
ness to fight there is good prospect that
the bout will be staged at New Orleans
during Mardi Gras week.
Another Incident Of note concerns the
prospective engagement OF Jack Dillon
and Mike Gibbons over the twenty-round
route at the Crescent City. Promoters
there are desirous Of settling the dis
puted claims in both light and mid
/ dle-weight classificatlons and they are
prepared to give up the major portion
OF the gate receipts in order to bring
these matches about.
Dillon has declared his Willingness to
make 15S pounds for a long distance bat
tie with Gibbons, and as substantial
proof thereof he is ready to post a for
felt in any reasonable sum demanded
by the st. Paul phantom. This match,
however, has been so often broached.
and so vigorously side-steppeS by Glib
| bons that there seems little chance the
elusive Michael will consent to sign now.
Another title match in prospect for
the southern spa involves Johnny Kid
Williams. the badIy-buffeted bantam
| boss, and johnny Ertle. St Paul. who
has laid claim to the championship by
virtue Of questionable foul he re-
ceived from Williams in a battle at the
| Twin Cities some months ago. Williams
is a powerful drawing card in New Or
leans. In his last two matches there.
with Frankly Burns and Pete Herman.
the gate receipts aggregated s25 900 for
both. A joust between Williams and
Ertle undoubtedly would outdraw the
preceding contests.
Williams has not shown any too i'm
pressively in his last bouts, and the
belief is growing that the Dane has
gone back just far enough to make
him an easy prey for an aggressive lit
tie fellow like Ertle. who is admittedly
the most dangerous challenger left in
the field for the title.

On the face OF things It looks like A
good gamble for Rickard and his asso-
ciates II everything pans out well, but
the big IF has caused many a cropper
to the best laid plans. when BILLY
Marshall tackled the Gibbons -McFar-
land match last fall he gave a guaran-
tee Of $4,000 and his receipts were
s5S,O00. yet he sustained n loss of over
$4,000 and retired for all time as a box
ing promoter. They say the ticket TAX
crs and door tenders stripped off the
cream OF the money by doing a side
line cash business at the gates. Rickard
may he iobbed in the same way. even
though he is shrewdly abreast of New
York City methods.

TURNED THE LAUGH.
Tom MarshaIl's Ready Wit Saved Him
When He Was Cornered.

Tom Marshall of Kentucky, who
fiourished as an orator and wit I'm the
last century, was a gallant gentleman
who, opportunity Offering, distributed
his osculatory activities without regard
to age, race or previous condition of
servitude.
One Christmas eve the gallant Tom
met In the hall the pretty octoroon
slave maid of Miss Breckenridge, So
ciety leader and belle. Tom promptly
kissed the maid and then expressed his
appreciation by giving her for Christ
mas present what he supposed was a
twenty dollar gold piece. In fact, II
was gold medal that had been pre-
scented to him by the citizens Of Frank
fort, Ky, for some services rendered to
that burg.
The girl tried to change the gold
piece. when the storekeeper, supposing
it to be stolen, impounded it and gave
it to her mistress. The girl, being
called to account, admitted that 1t was
a Christmas gift from Mr. Marshall
and confessed that the hall was dark
and that Tom kissed her before she
could help it.
Miss Breckenridge determined to give
Mr.. Marshall lesson in good manners,
so that evening at brilliant social
function she assembled half dozen
Louisiana bellies about her and, calling
Tom to the group, handed him the
medal and said: "Mr. Marshall, here is
something you parted with in the dark
1t is restored to you in the light" Tom
replied promptly. at was dark sure

A Lincoln Comment.

In THE Life and Letters Of John
Hay" is this diary entry which gives a
typical glimpse of Lincoln:
81 said to the president today that
thought Butler was the only man I'm
the army in whom power would be
dangerous. Mcclellan was too timid
and vacillating to usurp: Grant was
too sound and cool headed and unself-
ish; Banks also; Fremont would be
dangerous If he had more ability and
energy.
Eyes says the president, he is like
Jim Jett's brother. Jim used to say
that his brother was the darnedest
scoundreI that ever lived, but in the in
finite mercy of Providence he was also
the darnedest fool"
