-IWAUKEE. Wis, Aug. 1.-The
Nj expected trip of the wonderful
IL little boxer, Jimmy Wilde, OF
England. to this country has been
called off for the present, probably I'M
til after the end of the war. Wilde,
like Les Darcy of Australia, has re-
ceived splendid offers to visit the states
and engage in a few boxing matches
Jimmy is the greatest card they have
had in London in many years even
though he is nothing more than a IlS
weight. Although only "A years OF age

ing the British bantamwelght CONTEND

that Jimmy could not fill them
In speaking Of Wilde. the London

following:

easily and defeating the only man who
had ever beaten him in match pre-
viously He is a wonderful card here
now and is drawing $4,000 week at
the Comedy theater in vaudeville He
is to meet Johnny Hughes. who visited
the states a few years ago, IN a match
early in August.
Never Fights Twice Alike
He has been fighting at the rate Of
twice a month and getting no less than
$500 for every match. People flock TO
see him because they know they VIII
always see a fight and get q run for

BALL PLAYERS
 PLAN BIG TRIP

A trip throughout the interior of Alaska for distance of 5000 miles is being planned by baseball team, the larger part of the players being chosen from those on Gastineau channel. Recently, when the Juneau team which made the trip to White horse was in Skagway, Pat Scott was approached by the manager of the Skagway team who proposed that a team, formed of the infeld and battery from Juneau and an out field from Skagway. make a trip through the interior.
 The itinerary of the trip as planned would be something like the follow ing Leave Juneau in August, play lng against Whitehorse and then Dawson In the latter place a purse of $12OO has been put up, thence to Ruby, Fort Gibbon, Fairbanks, Idit- arod. and returning to the coast over the trail, playing Anchorage, Seward. Valdez, Cordova ond then home.
 The preliminary steps for the trip have already been taken and the Skagway manager has already been assured that the expenses of the team will be paid from town to town. Whitehorse pays the expens- es to that place. Dawson from White horse to Dawson, Ruby and Fort Gibbon and so on.
 It may be impossible to arrange for the full trip. although several of the towns have already been heard from It is probable that the trip as far as Dawson will be made anyway. as that city has agreed to pay the expenses of the team and has also put up a purse.
