MICKEY AND CHUCK READY FORTOUGH
BOUT AT GARY
It will be a rough, slam-bang battle between Mickey Sheridan and Chuck Larson at Sam Sax's National Athletic club at Gary, Ind., Wednesday night.
Chuck never shone as a clever expo
rent of the manly art and Sheridan
Just loves to tear In and wallop away at an opponent. The boys are to box
ten rounds, at 133 pounds at 3 o'clock.
The weight will not be hard for either
the Irish kid or the Swede, and they both will be at their best when time
' Is called.
Manager Sax has knocked out all the windows of the Majestic theater.
where the bout is to take place, and has also installed a number' of fans;
so, if the torrid weather keeps up, the
fans who take the special train which will leave the La Salle street station
at 7:30 p. m. will have no reason for
weltering. Ernie Zander and Tommy Murphy will furnish the seml-windup of eight rounds. Zander and Murphy are neighborhood rivals and there is something more back of their mix-up than a plain sparring contest. A rule has been made by Manager Sam Sax that no second will be allowed to break a boxer's glove. Sax has declared himself in this respect, and the second who is caught doing anything unfair in the way of tearing or pulling the padding from the gloves will be thrown out of the ring and not allowed in the boxer's corner. It was just such a thing as breaking a glove that caused the accident to Lew Messe at Hammond last Thursday night.
INDIANA HARBOR. Little Llla Kepple, who has been sick with scarlet fever, is almost well, and it is thought the quarantine will be raised and the house fumigated In a few days unless tome unlooked for complications appear. The pier in front of the South Bay hotel has become a favorite spot for fishermen, and although the rain was pouring down this morning, the peir was crowded with sportsmen angling for the fishes. Mr. and Mrs. Greer EUenberger of
Fir street returned last night from
Milwaukee, where they had been visit

Philadelphia, May 22. With their long, tough trip half completed in the matter of games played, but with most
of the traveling yet to.be, Chicago's Cubs rested in the quietude of slum
brous Philadelphia yesterday and de
voted themselves to the conservation of
energy for future strenuosity.
Few of the players had ambition for more than the necessary effort of shoveling fuel for the inner man, and it was so hat that little fuel was need
ed to keep the banked fires of diges
tion smoldering healthfully. Jimmy
Sheckard, Artie Hofman and Frank Schulte, our illustrious trio of suburban
gardeners, went to Columbia (Pa., not

BURNS CONFIDENT IN WOLGAST GO
San Francisco, Cal., May' 22. Ad Wolgast is going to meet a perfectly
conditioned fighter in FranTcie Burns'
next Saturday afternoon. Burns is as hard as nails. He spent three weeks in the mountains before coming back to
town to train and the trip did him a world of good. Big crowds watched Wolgast and the challenger go through their training stunts today. Wolgast also looks to be in fine trim. There is great confidence in the Burns camp. Both the fighter and Manager Jack Perkins are sure of winning. As the day of the battle draws near Burns is gaining backers and it is generally believed he will give the champ a great argument.

The Hammond Grays won a hard victory yesterday afternoon from the South Chicago Meteors by a score of 4 to 2 in favor of the Hammond team. The game was played at South Chicago. Only seven innings could be played on account of the rain. Freyman and Black were the batteries for the Grays and Hoken and Ileatter for the Meteors. Both teams are members of the Chicago Amateur association. The Meteors are ranked among the strongest and their defeat yesterday by the Grays is therefore all the more to the credit of the visitors. The two teams may play again next Sunday.
HAMMOND MAN WINS IT The first prize in the happigram contest offered by a Chicago paper has been awarded to L. R. Pratt, 222 Sibley street, Hammond, Ind., for the following: "This was heard by the writer while attending a game at the old Exposition grounds in Pittsburg, Pa. Hans Wagner knocked a 'liner' to shortstop, who fumbled the ball for a moment but got It over to first In time to catch Wagner by a slight margin. An excited bleacherite, whose voice plainly indicated his dispust, yelled at Wagner: " "Hey, Honus! Tou run too long in one place!' "
A CLEAN PAPER. FIT FOR TOUK CHILDREN TO READ IS THE TIMES.
We might call it a championship fight that Sam Iangford-Tony Caponi battle carded for decision at Kenosha a week from tonight. For, now' that the much-talked-of revival of the light heavyweight class has met with popular aPProval all over the country, who has a better right to step out and defend the championship discarded by Bob Fitzsimmons than the dusky demon from Boston. Joe Woodman's bone crushed has beaten all the, light heavies in the game who have dared to put up' their hands in front of him, including Jim Flynn, who leaped suddenly into fame by beating Al Kaufman. No other fighter has
an equal claim with Sam to fistic supremacy at 170 pounds, or thereabouts. Langford and Caponi are to weigh in at 16r pounds at 3 o'clock, which will mean about 170 pounds ringside. Sam, despairing of any attention from Jack Johnson, could without incurring much, if any, criticism, claim the light heavy crown ajjd offer to defend it against
the world. Incidentally he would have no trouble in keeping it, no more than Johnson has in holding on to the highest honors in the game. Sam appears to be overlooking a bet in not grabbing this championship. Langford that's a magic word to the boxing bug. And the ring wonder who claims the name will be in Chicago In a day or so from Boston. Sam Is going to finish his training here for the Caponi affair. The colored star will box at one of the local gymnasiums and do

Caponi is due hero tomorrow from Winnipeg. The Italian scrapper has been in the north for ten days or more training for a match he expected to have with Jack Dillon, the Hoosier idol. But Jack declined the match at the last moment. - The work will stand Tony in good stead, however, for surely a fighter must be in the best of condition if he hopes to do anything at all with the dusky jawbreaker from the east.
