w WILLIAM F. CAREY of
\A| Madison Square GAR
Wv den, New York, and va
riouS construction and
aviation companies, is a bit I'M
decided regarding his plans.
Sooner or later he will start for
somewhere from New York, but
the question is where?
II he starts sooner, 1t will be
for South America, where the en-
gines on railroad he is building
are whiStling for him shrilly. /
believe there also is some Indian
Queen who wishes personally to
discuss with him the matter of
moving freight across her front
yard
If Carey starts later it will be for
the Stupendous battle of Miami, where
all who are fighting on a percentage
wish to see him on the ground. Carey
is counted upon to furnish no little of
the color for this entertainment and
there are lot of queens around Florida
who wish personally to discuss with
him the matter of getting seats in the
front row.

/ getting the idea from the Miami track,
might build in stalls, thus giving the
show even more of London atmos-
phere than will be furnished by Philip
Scott.
It is evident that, even in this day
OF television, Carey scarcely can be in
two places at once. As a result he will
have to make up his mind In the next
| few days whether to turn In his South

Miami.
In the former case, he will then need
tickets for the Sharkey-Scott bout. 1t
is to be hoped that Bruen will let him
have good ones.
The New York Boxing Commission
is again engaged in the matter of
matchmaking. Even though this might
appear to be somewhat outside its prov
ince, the commission probably only had
the good of Campolo at heart in refus-
ing to permit him to box Risko. For
his height, Risko Is a very tough fell
low He also is very tough fellow
for anybody elSes height and If any
thing should happen Campolo has a
long way to fall.
Then, too, If Risko should ruin lot
of these tall fellows. who would be left
to box Camera? Peterson was con-
sidered tall enough, but Peterson got all
used up in the first round A further
supply is needed and Campolo measures
up to standard.
Knute Hansen is not the right height
for any Of those big boys. When
Christner caught Hansen II pounds
under weight and socked him on the
chin, he earned the gratitude of q
whole race of giants. Knute has a
right hand which bars him as an OPP
ponent for any attraction in the course
of being built up.
One thing the commission might do
to advantage Is to bar any bout where
an interest in both contestants is held
by the same group Of business men. 1t
Is rumored that such a thing might
happen and it would appear to be a
combination In restraint of trade.
The action of the Chicago commits
sion in correcting the point addition
of one of its referees and reversing
verdict some days after the bout, raises
interesting possibilities For example,
the loser in poker game might say
to the big winner, when the time to
cash in arrived:
counted the hand on which / dropped
out an hour ago. On the recount find
that / had you trimmed. Please hand
over the amount of that pot"
This would make poker even more
friendly game than it is now.
It is stated that, on his arrival at
Miami, Scott was met by a band play
ing God Save the King" So far as
may be learned the King is In no dam
ger, but the selection may have been
made on the theory that his majesty
later may send an encouraging telegram
