Where theChicago press gets Its figtht dope from Is a mystery as yesterday was published a story that Manatcer Llchtensteln had matched his lightweight, Steve Ketchel, In a tenround go with' Artie Stewart of Hammond Thursday evenlngr, Jan. 18. According: to Stewart's manager, Prank Campbell, he did not know that any articles of agreement had been drawn up. although there ha been talk of STPttlng Stewart and Ketchel together again. , . ' The latter part of December the Chicago press came out in big headlines that boxing was to be revi-ed in and (-.round Gary and that the bouts had been sanctioned by Sheriff "Whltaker. It was stated that some bouts were to be. pulled oft , at Clark Station on New Tear's day. The boxing game had not been revived, nor was there to be any

Hammond, will communicate with i Lichtensteln in an effort to find out how Stewart and Ketchel have been I matched without his knoweldge. On : account of the last Moose stag being a i

JONES SPEEDING HERE TO SIGH MILLARD Manager of Wolgast Coming to Chicago to Get Heavyweight.

San Frnacisco, Cal.. Jan. 10. If the ambitions of Cherokee Tom Jones are realized he will have added Jess Willard to his pugilistic stable before another week passes. So anxious is Tom to affix the signature of the big fellow

Milwaukee, at one time the strong-

to managerial articles that he decided nou ,f boxing in the middle west, the

not to accompany Ad Wolgast to Ore

gon on a ranch hunting expedition. Instead he boarded the Overland Limited this morning and will get to Chicago as fast as steam can carry him. Jones made no secret of his mission. He expressed the belief that Willard was the man who would take the measure of Luther McCarty and declared that if Jess allowed him to place a protecting wing around his brawny shoulders, he would guarantee that he got the chance to battle for the title. "I had a wire yesterday from a man who is a particular friend of mine and who is very close - to Willard," said Jones.' "He told me that Willard had expressed a willingness to tie up with me and if I came to Chicago at once I probably would be able to land the big fellow." The departure of Wolgast and Jones without signing articles for a Febru-

town where many famous battles of the ring were fought, is ready to resume its place in the game. The ambiguous interpretation placed upon boxing in the state struck Milwaukee hard, and bouts were not permitted In the metropolis of the LaFollette commonwealth. . - Wisconsin's law calls for ten-round boxing bouts "with tght-ounce gloves, and in many towns where promoters have attempted to- comply with tljis' law they have been halted by county officials,. The appeal for regultatlon by commission has become state wide, and Milwaukee expects to attain it. Racine, Kenosha, Superior -and other of the larger towns where boxing is a popular sport, are going' ahead with the hope that the incoming administration will provide a more liberal ruling. Milwaukee has held one- fight since

WILLARD IS WANTEHH COAST Big Boxer Will Try for McCarty Match Before Going. '

If Billy Gibson is unsuccessful in se

curing Luther Mccarty's consent to a ten-round contest with Jess Willard in New York on Jan. 28, Charley Cutler, who looks after the interests of the big Kansan, yesterday said he would take Willard to the coast to meet "Gunboat" Smith or any heavyweight the promoters may select. Cutler intends to wait until after Jan. 23, when Willard meets either Ned Carpenter or Jack Heinen over the ten-round route at Fort Wayne, Jnd., to hear definitely from Gibson. Although Willard has said he would not fight any of the second rate heavyweights, the inducements offered by Promoter Coffroth , caused him to change his mind. He also wants to fight on the coast to show the fistic fans that he is entitled to a match with McCarty. Willard cannot understand why McCarty ignores his. challenges

J and now intends to fight as often as

possible in the hope of forcing Luther into a match. , Yesterday Willard entertained . another large crowd at O'Connell's, where he boxed six rounds, three of which were with Cleve Hawkins . and three

pert, in the third block of their 18-2 match at Mussey's rooms Wednesday night, winning 400 to 268. The veteran New Yorker put up the highest average of the contest with a mark of 22 4-18, and in addition made

a high run of 119. Yamada averaged j

15 13-17, with high run of 57. Slosson now has a grand total of 1,200 to 982 by the oriental wonder. The American expert gave a brilliant exhibition in the early stages, and at the end of the seventh inning was romping along with an average of 39 4-7. Promises of a b!g performance were nullified after this, when in seven innings his best run was a twenty.

i After making 79 in his sixth essay he ! forgot he was playing 18-2, and with

j the balls on good position in the big space on the right rail neglected to get them out of balk, which would have been easy to accomplish.

Parents of young boys who take boxing lessons from Bill O'Connell sent notes to the proprietor threatening to withdraw their membership if the negro was permitted to use the gymna-. slum. Professional boxers also objected, according to O'Connell. Johnson's escapades and not his color causes the action. It is asserted, as Kid Cotton and Cleve Hawkins, negro boxers, train daily at the gym.
