CHICAGO MAY HAVE BOXING AND IT JAY -

Boxing for Chicago: That's the plan and it all, la to happen inside of a month. A test match will be staged in a south side hall, probably a ten-round affair, though there is some talk of a longer battle. It is desired to test the constitutionality of the state statue which hits at boxing and the promoters

backing the scheme will make a des-; perate attempt to re-establish the glove game in Chicago. dharley Fe.lt, who used to promote shows at the old Waverly club, and Walter O. Undsey, a theatrical man. are back of the attempt to bring the sport back to Chicago. They have consulted attorneys and think they can win a fight against the consrtltutonality of the state boxing law. Their leading attorney, John F. Rosen, has advised them to go ahead with a test match in a short .time. Felt Issued the following statement last night: "After a most thorough and comprehensive examination of the law as It exists In this state we have concluded that there Is no legal reason why boxing shows cannot be held in this state. Accordingly, we have definitely arrang

ed that a contest be held within the next month between two boxers of

some reputation In a South Side hall.

"These plans and arrangements have been made with full knowledge of the fact that there exists In this state sev

eral statutory prtvisions which seek to prohibiting boxing exhibitions of all

kinds, which have for the past few years been enforced by the city administration, but which have never been

passd upon by any court as to their

constitutionality or unconstitutionality.

"There can be no question that the public at large is at heart lh favor of clean boxing. This being true, unquestionably the prise fighting statutes are unconstitutional and the authorities will want to know It and not attempto enforce invalid laws. "We have made plans for the finst figty In such a manner that either the fight will be held or the question as to the legality tf the law will be determined once and for all. In order to properly test the law It is proposed that a ten-round fight will be held for a purse and an admission fee will be charged for the exhibition. "An application for a charter for an athletic association has been forwarded to Springfield and the charter Is ex

pected within a few days, when a permanent organization will be completed." .

Calvin Demarest of Chicago defeated Ora Morningstar of Pittsburg, 500 to 4S2, in the second game of their series of 1S.1 matches at Mussey's. Originally the men were to have played 2.500 points, but this arrangement was altered and the experts will play the best three out of five games. Although the averages were low, Demarest notching 8 28-39 and his opponent 8 10-59, the game was closely fought. There being only one point

difference at the end of the thirtieth inning when Demarest had -263 points and Morningstar 264. Ten Innings later Demarest led, 333 to 313, and at the fiftieth session Morning star wad in front

380 to. 373. Morningstar, who is to meet George Sutton for the world's 18.1 title at Orchestra hall on Saturday night, is a little disappointed at his showing here as he averaged around twenty 1n his practice matches at Pittsburg. He has trained faithfully for the match and believes he never was In better shape for a championship.

Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, will be anything hut a little fellow when he squares off with Jack Johnson in their battle on July 4. Though he weighed but 156 pounds when he met Johnson in San Francisco on Nov. 2, 1907, he has since added much flesh to his frame. Flynn weighed 210 pounds when he reached Las Vegas last Thursday. This afternoon Manager Curley chaperoned a party of friends to Jim's camp at Montezumo Springs. Flynn, wearing a light gymnasium suit, tipped the scales at 215.

the boxing rivals and throughout cheered the wonderful work of McFarland. Packey was at his best and that Is enough said. He boxed with astonishing speed and outclassed Erne In every department of the game, unless It be hitting power. It was a fight for blood. McFarland having carried an Erne grudge around for some months. In the fifth round Erne got to Packey's nose with a hard left and brought the blood. Paokey returned the compliment In the sixth with the same kind of a blow. The boys weighed In at 3 o'clock at 138 pounds.

Philadelphia. Pa., . May 16. Packey McFarland, the Chicago marvel, performed In his usual stellar fashion against Young Erne, the six-round king, here last night. He gave. Erne an anistic trimming over the eighteenminute route, Just as he did once before. Erne Imagined lie could reverse the verdict. but Packey's lightning work shattered his dreams. McFarland displayed the same old wonderful glove play he has exhibited here several times. His puzzling footwork had Erne at sea and his feinting tied "Yi Yl" in knots. Erne tried his best with a slashirfg right hand, but Packey was slipping out of the way each time his foe started that mitt at him.

MANDOT WHIPS HARRYTRENDALL St. Louis, Mo., May 16. Joe Mandot of New Orleans shaded Harry Trendall of St. Louis In a close eight-round bat
