George Brown, the slashing Greek fighter with the K. O. prefix to his name, and Hugo Kelly, a middleweight, tried and true, are to furnish a tenround exhibition of the art of fisticuffs in the arena of the Kenosha, Wis., club on Wednesday n ght, Feb. 21. The articles were signed last night. The weight is to be 158 pounds at 3 o'clock. Packey McFarland and Eddie Murphy probably we caa't say for certain, because of Packey s vacillating attitudes

toward tough matches will stage their

much discussed ten-round quarrel In the big opera house at South Bend on

Wednesday night, Feb. 14. Word came from South Bend last night that the

club headed by Joe. Sullivan had taken the bout away from Promoter Jake Geis of Kenosha, and tha only the formality of signing articles was necessary to clinch the affair. Mickey McBrlde, Murphy's manager, is waiting news from Packey and Emll Thlry in New York. If Packey decides to fight South Bend will get the match. Kenosha is out of the running on this bout. Kelly and Brown are two of the blinking stars In the middleweight firmament and should -put up a stirring encounter. Kelly Is a boxing master and a sight worth seeing when In ac

tion? -Brown is a slugger, a gamecock and a willing mlngler. A boxer and a slugger make the best combination in the world , in the matchmaking line. This bout is sure to prove a great card, as each man has a big Chicago following. Also the mill will have an important bearing on the middleweight situation, as each is In the race for the

title.

WRESTLING WAR

BREAKS OUT "Doc" Krone, wrestling and boxing promoter, and the Empire Athletic club, the alleged "rasslin' trust," are now waging a bitter war, according to the independent impresario. The Empire A. C drew first blood yesterday when Dr. E. W. White of the I. A. C. announced a change In the bill fori the first mat show to be held at the tricolor organization Saturday night. Krone last week prepared the card for the I. A. C. exhibition, but he did not recognize the card as submitted yesterday. He admits that his rivals "put something over" on him, and now hungers for revenge. . According to the revised program Frank Gotch will meet Marlon Plestlna lna handicap bout, and In the preliminaries Henry Wirth and Billy Smith,

This was Hammond and Gary's second series, one being rolled here and the other at the Pastime - alleys at Gary. Hammond has only allowed Gary one game out of a total of six, which looks Hke they are trying to be Just a little "hoggish." In three games last night Hammond won with the majority of 245 pins. Hammond made the only two hundred scores, marking up four above that score. Snyder made two of them with 207 an3 215 and Stevens 222, Portz the other with 209 pins.
