No word had been received from
Johnny Noye or his manager Ed
Shave at a late hour today. accord
ing to Peanuts Schieberl, promoter
of the All-Star Athletic club. This
silent stuff on the part of the st.
Paul men eliminates chances for a
bout between Noye and Richie
Mitchell before Peanuts club on
the 18th of this month, and the To-
cal matchmaker must needs seek
elsewhere for an opponent for
Mitchell.
Ye ed received word this morning
from Tommy Walsh, manager of
Joe Burman, in which the Chicago
man accuses Mike Dundee. local
pug, of crawling out of his bout
with Burman scheduled recently at
La Sale. Tommy then comes for
ward and offers to bet $500 against
81 900 that Dundee cannot stay
with Burman for 10 frames. Walsh
also has Cal Delaney under his
wing and announces that Cal is
willing and ready to fight any man
that Schieberl deems fit to match
him with. Cal perfers Johnny NOye.
however, for which Walsh claims
a decision for Delaney over Noye
in their bout at Racine some time
ago and offers Johnny a chance to
get even. The Chicagoan also
states that he has coolies of coin
on Cal Delaney-Johnny Noye
scrap.
Lamping the boxing schedule in
nearby fight centers for the next
few weeks. we notice that Chicago
and Milwaukee are fairly alive with
boys of good calibre Tomorrow
night Jock Malone meets Bryan
DOwney at Fort Sheridan, and sew
eral good fights are booked for the
weekend at the Brewery City. We
opine that it would not be a bad
idea for Peanuts to lamp some of
these boys in action and pick a
real boxer to battle Mitchell here /
at his next show He could also
sign some read boys for the pre-,
