BOXING ALL THE LATEST DOPE BASEBALL? Pelkey to Fight Smith at Future Date Coulon Recovers. Arthur Pelkey, who has as good a claim as any one to whatever credit there is in the heavyweight cham pionship now, will definitely settle the matter by fighting Gunboat Smith,-who has been sinking white hopes with regularity. This statement comes from Tom my Burns, manager of Pelkey, who is making a vaudeville tour with his battler through the Northwestern cities. Burns does not, fix any definite time for the championship go. He says Pelkey will first finish his the atrical engagements, but that Smith will be his next opponent in the ring. It is possible Labor Day will find the two heavies in the ring. Pelkey must fight and win if he is to be a stage attraction. His one big victory, resulting in the death of McCarty, did not give him much of a reputation as a fighter. He can't last long with the box offices on the strength of that showing. Picking the winner in this fight is a regular job. Smith has shown some class, especially in his fight with Bombardier Wells, but Pelkey is as uncertain a quantity as he was be fore the McCarty fight. That battle did not last long enough for him to display anything in the fighting line.

John Evers, well-known player of "forfeits," and manager of the Cubs, is liable to hear President Lynch of the National League say: "Heavy, heavy, hangs over thy poor head," this afternoon, followed by the dull thud of a five-day suspension for the raw stalling of the Cubs in the sec ond game against St. Louis Sunday. If Evers is suspended it will mean the hopeless crippling of the team on the eve of its clash with the East, at a time when every bit of strength is needed if the Cubs are to stick in the pennant chase. Zimmerman is out with a twisted ankle and Bridwell is suffering from a spike gash just below the knee that needs attention. He will probably have to take a day or two off.
