Wants Kelly and Gibbons; White May Box Harlem Tommy Murphy.
Nate Lewis last night wired Harlem Tommy Murphy, who drew with Wol-
gast Saturday, an offer of a $1,000
gruarntee and all expenses for a ten-
round 'no-decision whirl with Charlie White at the Kenosha town on the above date. Dundee has called off his New York match -with . Wrhite, and Charlie is anxious to get into action. He thinks he can outbox Murphy In ten
rounds and thereby prove that he is entitled to consideration at the hands
of thebest lightweights. ,
GIANTS INSURE
JOHN M'GRAW
New York. Feb. -24. President H. M.
Hempstead has insured the life of John J. McGraw, manager of the New York
Giants, for the. sum of $100,000. Mc
Graw recently signed a contract to head the Giants for the next Ave years at a salary which was said to be $20,000 per annum. The practice of Insur
ing ball players was started recently by Charles W. Murphy, owner of the Chicago Cubs, who secured policies on

Los Angefes, Feb. 24. For applying
the crusher to "Knockout" Brown, Joe ; Rivers was given 30 per cent of the gross receipts, which amounted to $6,- i 042. He is to be paid $5,500. with a privilege of 35 per cent of the gross, for boxing a return ten-round romp
with Leach Cross in New York. That's
$11,500 for one hour of work in the
ring. As a sorter of tamale husks, Joe
used to make all of $9 a week.
The Rivers-Levy combination will
start for the snow country inside of the next ten days. On March 9 the lightweight will open in Denver for a stage engagement to laet one week, if Joe can dodge the hook that long. He ;
then goes to Columbus, Ohio, and box- :
es an exhibition bout with 50 per cent , of the receipts staring him squarely, in!
the face. '
April 1 is the date set for the Rivers-
Cross bout. The McMahon brothers are ; handling the New York show and will stage It at the St. Nicholas rink.
We've had this "Dumb Dan" Morgan
party tagged all wrong. He's a real sport, one of the rare species that shoulders a licking and goes away with a grin and a handshake.
'I had Brown in the best condition
of his young life," says Dan. "He was fairly defeated, whipped by a boy who.
to my way of thinking, is the best lightweight in the world today. More power to the Mex."
That's the way Harry Coleman talk
ed, and Mandot's former manager will find a reception committee at the depot any time he returns. The same goes for Morgan. Morgan goes back to New York immediately to handle his other
protege. Jack Britton.
Bud Anderson and Frankie Russell
will be the next twenty-round offering
here. March 8 is the date. Anderson started training at Doyle's today. Russell is expected to arrive early ""next week.
McCarey promises that the winner
will take on "Knockout" Brown, figur
ing that "Kayo" is entitled to another coast match.

WOLGAST GETS $10,000; MURPHYS END $5,000 San Francisco, ' Feb. ' 24. Promoter Coffroth announced today that the receipts for the . Wolgast-Murphy go would be in the neighborhood of $20,000. Of this sum, W'olgast had been guaranteed $8,500, with the privilege of taking 50 per cent of the receipts for his end. He will naturally take 50 per cent, which means that he will receive something over $10,000 for his afternoon's work. Tommy Murphy signed up for 25 per cent of the receipts, or something like $5,000. Promoter Coffroth gets the other 25 per cent.

Sailor Bill Walters, with nothing but a slightly blackened optic nad a slash In one lip to show . that he went through a mighty tough fifteen-round fight with Wildcat Ferns , on Friday night, was In. the office with Manager George Dugdale last night to lay claim to the welterweight championship.

And Manager Dugdale spread before our eyes last evening a St. Joseph newspaper story, written by a man who sat at the ringside, which says Walters deserved the decision over Ferns, had Referee Harry Brewer been permitted to give one. As it was Brewer patted Walters admiringly on the back when the final bell clanged. Having tamed the Wildcat, Walters
longs for a crack at Fred Gilmore's welterweight crack. Spike Kelly. If he

COACH ZUPPKE
LIKESTHE RULES Champaign, 111., Feb. 24. That the
football rules committee was wise not to tinker with the present code is the
opinion of Robert C. Zuppke, Illinois' new coach, who said today:
'The changes are of such little con
sequence that they will not alter the game materially. While there has Jreen criticism that the fake forward pass that is. after a. man is 'tackled and
would lose much ground should have
been eliminated, believe the rule makers are wise in not surrounding the
pass with many restrictions. Too many details in the rules make it difficult for
officials to act. and it is often hard to
"GLOOMS" HIT I MAROON FIVE Gloom of the football variety settled over the University of Chicago camp as the result of the basket ball defeat by Purdue Friday night at Lafayette,
and the defeat by Ohio State Saturday night at Columbus.
