TOM ffl'CARY BARS ' CHAfilPiOFl WOLGAST

Saturday Night Bouts Will be Best Ever Given In The Calumet Region

The

t Is evident as the fight game progrreeses at East Chicago that Manager Joe Simpson of the Coliseum rink Is putting on a better card each time, and with such scrappers in the ring as (iforge Knockout Brown of Chicago and Roy Parker in the wirniup on Saturday, there ought to be a crowd that will pack the ring when these two well known men get together in a tenround bout next Saturday night. Little need be said of these two boys, as they have gained themselves a well known reputation (throughout the. country. Brown is also known to the majority of Lake county fans who saw him make such a good showing when he fought Jimmy Clabby ten rounds at the II. A. A. fights last winter. Not only is he clever, but he has a dangerous wallop in either hand that is likely to administer a sleeping effect if It is put into action. Although Parker is not as well known to Lake county fans, he Is a fighter through and through and his following is looking for him to get the best of the go. lie Is a steam fitter by trade and carries big guns and has a strong backing who will greet him at the ringside. He is known to be one of the toughest boys of his weight, having won 34 fights in his short career, 26 of them being by the K. O. route and eight of then:, by clean decisions. The curtain raiser will bring togeth

er Kid Hollis of East Chicago and Eddie. Wells of New York. The bout Is

scheduled to go six rounds and they

will weigh In at 115 pounds. These two bantams came to East Chicago ;

with the reputation of being fast and

clever and the fans are expecting to see

a good match when they get together, j Hollis is now an East Chicago boy and is In the best of shape. J Two 138-pounders. Battling Spiro of; New York and Jack Archer of Iowa, will go on in the preliminary for six rounds. Archer was scheduled to appear .on the last card, but he failed to put in his appearance.Young Christie, brother of Krnie Zanders, who made such a good showing last week, will be seen in an eightround semi-windup with Kid Krug of Hammond. Although Krug has not been in the ring as long as Young Christie, he is becoming known as a clever youngster and promises to give his opponent a hard tussle. They are

in hard training work and expect to be in excellent shape t the tap of the bell. The management is looking for a big crowd, as a report from East Chicago states that the ringside and general admission ticket:! are going fast and preparations are being made to install more seats. Po far the East Chicago police have found no fault with the fights, as they have been conducted properly and strictly under the law and club. The hall will be heavily patrolled Saturday night and the public will be amply protected.

HUGO KELLY ASKS ANOTHER CHANCE Italian Boxer Will Not' Retire as Result of McGoorty Defeat.

Lefp;i? the beating he took at the handB of Eddie McGoorty in the ring

at Kenosha on Wednesday night, Hugo

Kelly doesn't intend to quit the game.

Instead the Italian wants another chance at the Oshkosh fighter. Kelly declares that he was defeated because he was down too fine and could not

takp a punch.

"That punch in the first round dazed inc," said Kelly, "and my head did not

clear until after the fight was over. McGoorty should have stopped me in a

few rounds, but he couldn't do it.". Kelly and McGoorty drew just $3,603 into the skating rink arena. There were about 2,000 people in the place, but, according to the promoters, about 400 of them were on the free list. Kelly

dragged down 35 per cent, or 1,261.75.

l.os Angeles, March 22. Ad Wolgast, world's lightweight champion, will not be asked to box again in Los Angeles, now considered the boxing center of America, so long as be is under the management of "Cherokee" Tom Jones. Promoter Tom McCarey, in a furious rage for the first time in all his life, gave out this Information today. The bars go up against Jones as the result of a sarcastic and uncalled for telegram sent south by Wolgast's manager.

McCarey. after figuring out all the

possibilities of the proposed WolgastRivers match for July 4, sent the champion a message offering him the flat

sum of $12,300 to travel twenty rounds with the Mexican idol. In reply Jones

telegraphed as follows:

"Your offer is a joke, and the whole

Wolgast family is laughing at you to night."

McCarey had no sooner read the opening lines than his face went scar

let with anger. The "Irish" of the pro

moter had been touched, and, walking straight to the telegraph office, he

penned the following answer:

"Tom Jones, Manager Ad Wolgast,

Seattle The wording of your telegram

is an insult to a man of my standing.

If you consider a $12,600 offer as a Joke

then you are not the man to be manag

ing a world's champion. 'Wolgast is

barred as long as you manage him." HOYI ATHLETIC CLUB

Birmingham, Ala., March 22. Ten

rounds to a deadlock, 4 to 4. That's the

surprise party sprung upon the gay Cubbers yesterday afternoon In the initial combat with Molesworth's coal

barons. Iarkness hadn't commenced to set in when hostilities ceased, but the truce was ordered to spare our untamed athletes further labor. Inci

dentally it was the first overtime battle of the training Junket for Chance

and his shipmates.

Favored by midsummer weather and

a field that boasts the finest and

most up-to-date plant in the south", the

west eiders certainly got in a swcl

workout before and during the battle

In a measure the Cubs had decidedly

the bulge on the locals, who have engaged in only one game prior to the af

fair of yesterday, which accounts for the numerous errors. Both sides bungled freely, the Cubs booting four and

the barons five.

The calj to arms found two changes

in the Cub roster. Miller playing left field, vice Sheckard, who Joined the

sick list, after eating eggs served at

local alleged hotel. Archer likewise

drew a day of grace that Chance might look over hia fourth mask man, Dick Cotter. The latter, who came to the Cubs with Pitcher Ward in a winter trade whereby Graham went to Philadelphia, made a nifty showing back of the log. and at bat he shared the honors with Evera, poling two timely singles. Once, however, Cotter loosed a

wild peg that landed flush in center field, letting the enemy count the run that tied up matters.

COAST ODDS ARE EVEN ON KLAUS AND DILLON I I

San Francisco, March 12.- Frank

Klaus and Jack Dillon, principals in Saturday afternoon's elimination middleweight contest at Promoter Coffroth's arena at Daly City, have completed their hard training. Both men are down to the weight of 158 pounds, and between now and fight time will do only enough work to keep their muscles limbered up. "V

As the time for the fight approaches

each fighter maintains a commendable confidence in his ability to win. Over at Millet t's. where Dillon and his reti

nue of trainers hold forth, such a thing

as a setback for the Hoosier lad is not even considered.

"I have been in the ring with Klaus

before, and know his game," declared

Dillon today. "When we met before I

had the best of the argument. 1 have improved 50 per cent since that time and Klaus' recent work indicates that he is very little, if any, better now than he was then. Figure it out for yourself." i Klaus is just as confident. "Dillon is a good, tough fighter, all right, but he isn't quite good enough to bring home the bacon Saturday afternoon," is the way the Plttsburger sizes up the situation. j Indications are that the fighters will go into the ring with the betting odds at even money, the first time such a thing has happened in the local field for some time. Several Klaus commissions made the market a bit panicky for a time yesterday, but the ready response of Dillon backers today has again

placed ed it on a firm foundation.
