PARKER WES SHOWING

Greek Too Rugged, However; Referee Is Compelled to Stop Bout. 1, THE NEXT BOUTS. Joe Simpson wants to stage another series of boxing quarrels next Monday night at East Chicago. He will use either Charlie White or Knockout Brown in the windup. White and Brown are willing to fight anybody at their weight, and all Simpson has to do is to toss, somebody of that description ' into the arena and the quarrel will be on. Joe thought he might gefClarence Forbes to clash with White, but Clarence will meet Danny Goodman out at Indiana Harbor next Thursday night and cannot take a chance with the speedy White so soon after. Simpson hopes to announce his card in a couple of days. The boxing exhibition at the East Chicago Coliseum Saturday night proved the best of the season, and Manager Joe Simpson was " rewarded by . the largest and most enthusiastio audience since the starting of the exhibitions. Roy Parker's chances for a match with any of the top-notchers were somewhat dimmed for the present after ten rounds with George "Knockout" i Brown. Parker showed himself the cleverest man at boxing, but was up against one of more ring experience and one who can "rough it" with the best. On his showing Saturday night Parker should develop into a top-

notcher. He took punishment gamely ; change of -rights to side of head. Parkand worked hard all the time. The er's round. first seven rounds gave him a good J Round 7 Clinch.

Referee Dave Barry handled the men in good shape and showed excellent judgment In stopping two of the bouts at the right time. Chief of Police McCormiek talked to the audience, giving it to understand that everything- must be conducted In compliance with the state law and no loud or boisterous noises would be permitted. He was roundly cheered and the crowd behaved well; In the last three rounds it was so quiet that the low tones of the referee could be heard in alljparts of the hall The first preliminary between Eddie Wells and Kid Stock waa stopped in the fourth round after the boys had fought even the first two rounds, but Wells came strong in the last two and had little trouble with his man. Battling Spiro and Freddy Cobb went six rounds to a draw, with neither man doing much damage. Young Christie had the best of six rounds with Dutch Casper, but did not show as well as In his last bout. Several celebrities were introduced during the evening and the usual number of defis were hurled and accepted. The principals in the main event came into the ring Dromptly after, the

K- O. LEARNING - TO BE CLEVER

George Knockout Brown Is learning to be clever. That's what hla manager, Nate Lewis, says, and it must be so. George tried out his clever stuff on Ray Parker at East Chicago Saturday night. Result with ten-ounce gloves " over his Greek maulers he had the tough Bteamfitter hanging over the ropes in the middle of the tenth round, oblivious to his surroundings. The referee stopped the fight and George won. "You may not believe it," said Nateyesterday, "but Brown shot all his punches straight at Parker. He feinted, sidestepped, trapped Ray into leads and all that sort of thing. You would not think he was the same fighter. You know the outcome. He won in a canter and he'll beat all the mlddlewelghts now that he has cut out the haymaker swings. "Now I want to start Brown against Eddie McOoorty. ril post $300 to guarantee that I can pull off the bout Monday week or two weeks from now. We'll use ten -ounce gloves, or . mitts half that size. whichever suits McOoorty. And if the. Irishman will sign up for a twenty-round whirl I'll make him a J1.000 side bet. I guess that's fair enough." After that Nate got busy taking In the change In his billiard hall. PETERS. IN FORM HOLDSJUSTIfl, M Hurling Recruit Passes the Big League Test, Allowing Four Hits. Austin, Texas, March 25. Mr. Otto Casper Peters passed his examination yesterday afternoon for admittance In to the big league. The tall young pitcher recruit for the White Sox led Callahan's Premiers to an easy victory over the Austin Statesmen, champions of the Texas league, " to 1. Peters went the entire route of nine Innings The Premiers should have made about seven more runs, but lost them by some mixed up base running. How ever, they always were leading by comfortable margin, and Mr. Peters wouldn't permit the Texang to become ravenous at any stage of the game. Indeed, the tall German should have won by a shutout, but M. Jacques Fournler faUed to carry out his end of a snappy double play, the ball going through him to the stand. This gave the home folks an opening to make their lone tally and do all their cheering. WAVE OVERTURNS AEROPLANE, MEN THROWN IN SEA Monaco, March 25.' The hydro-aeroplane races began here yesterday with a great crowd watching the wonderful evolutions of the machines. - There was one accident which it was thought at first had resulted fatally, but this turned out to be a mistake.

FOREIGN CLUBS

STEALING BEST Big Purses Abroad Hake It Hard for U. S. Promoters to Land Fights. San Francisco, Oal.. March 15. It la getting harder and harder for the pro moters of pugilism to secure high class attractions. The reason of this la that the sport haa spilled itself In every dl-! rectlon over the globe and that matchmakers are reaching out for the best cards from the uttermost ends of the earth. Quite frequently !n the recent past, American fight handlers when quoted their top figures to some one they wanted to sign, have been told that better offers were forthcoming from Paris and Australia. It has reached a stage, in fact, where a tip-top ringman is in a position to name his own price. Tom McCarey of Log Angeles is among the men who are beginnlngto complain of the inordinate demands of the fighters. McCarey for quite a while has haa a monopoly almost of the matches that are worth seeing. He has displayed great shrewdness In developing boxers and in pairing the men he has developed, and he has made Los Angeles one of the foremost pugilistic centers of the country. SPORTING NOTES.
