Fifty men were arrested in a raid on a cocking main above the saloon of J. F. O'Connell at East Michigan and St. Clair streets, Chicago, yesterday afternoon by a dozen detectives from the office of Assistant Chief Schuettler. Seven , patrol wagons were necessary to take the men to the South Clark street station. : Led by Detective Thomas Etchingham of the gambling squad, the detectives left the office of Assistant Chief Schuettler and walked to the tflace. The doors 'of the saloon on the first floor were locked and it was necessary to break a plate glass window before

they could enter. The building was surrounded before the "lookout" could

warn the spectators, and a number who sought to escape over adjoining buildings were forced back into the buildingwith drawn revolvers. The second floor was fitted up with a regulation cock pit, with a gallery for spectators, and about forty garni cocks were found in coops in the room.

PAPKE LEWES fOR

KLAUS FIGHT:

CARPENTER

BACKS BILLY TO

Bill Papke, the Kewanee middleweight star, spent an hour In Chicago yesterday afternoon on his way to New tljj-r4lm where he sails Tuesday for

gay Faree to get ready for his big bat-

1 tie with Frank Klaus In that foreign

village on March 5. Mrs. Papke and Bill Jr. were with the sturdy downstate fighter. Bill Jr who Is a year and a half old, when asked for an Interview, said: "Papa will make that Klaus man look like a Pittsburg stogie before he gets through with him. I am going to swing the towel. for dad." However, William Sr. did most of the

talking to us and had some Interesting things to say while he waited for the rattler to take him east. He unburdened himself of the prediction that he was going to beat Klaus for the mid

dleweight championship, then fight Georges Carpenter again, this time for the commission title. The Carpentier fight is billed for Monte Carlo on April IS and Billy has consented to meet the

French Idol at 175 pounds.

Carpentle ralways has claimed that

Papke's victory over him In seventeen rounds was due to his failure to make 160 pounds and retain his - fighting

strength. So, Just to show the foreign

er that a few pounds makes no difference to him, the Thunderbolt has agreed to take him on at a notch that will be catchwelghts for Papke. Papke's conversation ran along thusly: ' "People on this side think I am not as good as of old. Well. I don't care, for I am through fighting in this country. Over In Paris, where I have won all my fights, they think I am a world beater, and are willing to pay good money to see me box. "I am certain that I will stop Klaus inside the limit of twenty rounds, and will then claim the middleweight championship, which I lost to Ketchel when a sick man. I fought Klaus once in Pittsburg and have seen him go since - He's a tough bird,-all right, but this Kewanee chap has got something

at Monte Carlo 'for the commission title, and then come home with two championships. Carpentier and I have just as much right to fight for that honor as have Flynn and John Thompson, believe me. If one of them wants to fight it out with us they can come over to Paris and sign up." 5 "What about Eddie McGoorty as a middleweight contender?" we asked. "I don't see where McGoorty comes In for a claim on the middleweight title," said Bill. "He's making a reputation out of short, no-decision bouts. He has not boxed any man over a route for a couple of years. Klaus has. He beat Jack Dillon on the coast in twenty rounds, and now he and I are going to fight' It out for the championship. If McGoorty wants to try conclusions with me after the Klaus row he can come to Paris, for I won't fight here. But McGoorty will have to beat a few good men In France before I will meet him. They never heard of him over there, and he will. have to establish a reputation in that vicinity before X will match up with him." ,

ADDERSOR IS COHHIG STAR OFLIGHTWEIGIIT Showed Championship Caliber When He Knocked Out Sammy Trott.

Los Angeles. Feb. 3. In a trifle less than eighteen minutes of actual ring work "Bud" Anderson, practically un- ! known outside of the border line of his home town, has won a following among the most critical fight goers in the world the Los Angeles rlngsiders. I It is safe to say there wasn't one man who watched Anderson wear down and knock out Sammy Trott the other Saturday afternoon-who was not anxious to "see this little two-handed bat- f tier in action again. j The defeat of Trott in itself did no mean'' much for Anderson. It was the clean cut manner in which "Bud" operated that tagged him as eing one of the most promising lightweights in sight. A hard, fast and clean puncher, t "Bud" stands up to his work and looks

for nothing but straight shots. Best of all, Anderson can tap a man over I with either hand, and he does not have to swing from his heels to get results, i Anderson has been promised a March match with Joe Mandot. He probably will claim this privilege. In this connection, Jim Jeffries said: "Good boy, this Anderson, but right now either Rivers or Mandot would take all the fight out of him inside of ten rounds. , "He doesn't know enough yet to hold his own against these fellows. It would be the most foolish thing In the world

to hand him over as a sacrifice to one of these experienced and seasoned fighters. Carefu lmanagement Is all that is required to make a .champion out of him. If he is handled right he will develop into a great lightweight."
