BOXING
LID TO BE TILTED SOON
If GARY
The boxing' lid in Gary which has been clamped down for nearly six months will be pried loose again in several weeks when the first of a series of boxing shows will be staged at Turner hall Fourteenth and Washington street. This is providing the boxing exhibitions are run in an orderly manner and complying with every retirement of the law. Chief of Police Joe Martin of Gary is in "favor of clean boxing, but has given the promoters to strictly understand that if the above restrictions are not regarded the lid will be lowered sprain. Although the card has not been announced a ten-round no-decision bout between Art Steward of Hammond and Rudy Unhols of Chicago is the latest dope. Without a doubt this would be a stellar attraction as the reputation . Stewart has gained slnoe battling with
Bat Nelson, Tommy Gary and Steve Ketchel earned him the right to mix it with the clever Chicago boy. Both fighters are doing daily training stunts and will likely be signed up before the clse of the week. Some other classy bouts are being carded for Uiat evening.
The boxing game 'was tried out In the steel town nearly a year ago and everything terminated successfully except the financial end. excellent bouts were put on, but the fight fans flatly refused to lend their support, resulting In the promoters loaiTigr money. It Is now up to the fight fans of the steel city and the Calumet region to turn out en masse. According to the promoters they will be given another chance. Will it be a case of the lid being sealed again or will it become a permanent sport?

WQLGAST IN STIFF WORKOUT PROVES HE IS IN CONDITION
San Francisco, Feb. 20. Any fear that Ad Wolgast will not be In flrstclass condition when he meets Tommy Murphy next Saturday afternoon was dissipated today when the Cadillac boy. showing a sudden and startling reversal of training form, went at his task In the same vigorous manner that characterized his preparatory work during his championship days. A solid hour's work In the gymnasium, three rounds with Young Maokey and a rattling four-round bout with "Rod" Robinson were some of the tests Included In his afternoon's workout. .When he called quits the former champion was breathing naturally and did not appeal at all distressed. T am In much better condition tight 'now than X was whan I stepped Into .yie ring to defend the championship
against Willie Ritchie," declared Wolgast, as he lay on the rubbing table. "I could go Into the ring- tomorrow and put up the fight of my life." Wolgast will put In another hard day's work tomorrow and ease up a bit Friday. Harlem Tommy Murphy, who is training at Shannon's San Rafael resort, cut out the boxing feature of his program today. He is at present within a few ounces of the required weight, and will only do enough work to keep his muscles limbered up between now and fight time. Wolgaat's sudden display of pepper In today's workout resulted In a loosening up of the betting market and indications tonight are that he will enter the ring a 10 to f or 10 to 7 favorite.
f OWH BEGINS TO
SHOW HIS GLASS
Los Angeles, Feb. 20. Today will wind up the season of hard training for Joe Rivers and Knockout Brown. Both boys have attained practically perfect shape and are within such easy striking distance of the required
weight that the drying out prooess i
will make it easy for them to show under the agreed limit at scale time. Brown has loosened up a bit In his workouts with his sparring partners and la showing the fans the punches that enabled him to win 100 out of 132 fights by the knockout route. He has a shift that beats anything Ketchel ever used, and It is this punch that he hopes will eliminate Rivers from the liifhtweight contention. Funny how a little real fighting in training bouts will affect the betting fraternity. Since Brown began to pummel his sparring partners around, his backers, the short-enders, have begun to tickle. the market a bit, and the odds are remaining stationary at . 10 to 7, with more Brown money In sight than has appeared heretofore. However, Rivers money predominates, and it Is likely that the Mexican will go to the post a 10 to 6 favorite.

OSSIFIED MUSCLE LATEST FOOTBALL INJURY CAUSE Des Moines, la., Feb. 20. While collegiate football playing Is considered to be more or less closely associated with the study of the classics, a doctor of this city is thought to be the first physician in America to make use of and translate French and German medical works to aid him In caring for a football injury. Last fall Glen Simons of Spokane, Wash., now captain-elect of the Drake university football team, was injured. Ossification of the muscles above the knee resulted, an almost unheard of ailment In America. An operation was determined upon, but before it took place the physician had translated several descriptions of operations by French and German physicians, with details of treatment. The operation, which removed a piece of ossified muscle as large as a man's hand, promises to be successful, although, following the translated advice, a part of the hardened tissue was left to be absorbed.

BIGGEST BET BY
DWYER $40,000 The big wagers of Mike Dwyer when he and his brother Phil campaigned
one of the best stables ever seen on
the American turf have frequently
been the subject for lively turf discus
sion, but "Doc" Streett is authority for
the story that $40,000 is the largest
amount of money that Mike Dwyer
ever wagered on one race. As Streett tells the story, the Dwyers had Joe Cotton in the Average stake at Sheeps-
head Bay in the fall of 1887, and the
only one opposing him was Binette, a
mare that was racing under the silks
of the Maltese stable.
Without knowing the price about Joe Cotton, Mike told a commissioner to bet $3,000 on his horse. He gave
another commissioner a like order. Both decided that the plunger wanted to win fS.000, and when they found that there was a scant 1 to 6 to be obtained they proceeded to carry out the commission. With the fluctuations in the odds they each were able to obtain' $3,000 to 20,ooo for the wagers. Joe Cotton went to the post with 1 to 7 the best price that could be had about him. Joe Cotton won, but he had none too much to spare, and he had to break the existing record for a mile and threesixteenths to beat the mare. It was-the biggest Dwyer .wager, and it was a mistake. What was intended was that 26,000 be bet - - ' i
