POLICE COMITTEE GIVES ROUND ADVOCATES FATHERLY TALK
FRIENDLY CONFAB
INCLUDES'MUCH
TIMELY ADVICE
Those Behind Boxing Game
Must Behave or Lose
Many of Their
Prerogatives
JOE MURPHY
- remittee of the board
of supervisors, augmented by Super
visors Edward L. Nolan and Andrew J.
Gallagher, held a friendly confab with
the four round promoters yesterday
BOOn to give the boxing pro
moters some sound advice. T! o>e who
fail to heed it will have a abort I
the promoting , field, as the com
made it plain that unless the club
managers lived up to their agreement
■vould be denied the privilege ac
; i them.
Chairman Hocks reviewed the boxing
situation and stated that the coramit
> anted to afford the promoters
every protection, but they in turn must
give the public a run for its money. ]
Competent ushers must be employed j
and ticket holders must be guaranteed
Iγ seats.
The boxing promoters recently
formed an association for their pro*
tection and to see that the public was
a fair deal. A boxing , commit
tee was formed to deal with troubles
between the boxers and promoters..
Contract breakers and bad actors in
general will be dealt with by the com
mittee. The supervisors gave this
committee further power yesterday,
when they agreed to accept reports
from the committee in regard to
troubles between boxers and promot
ers. There will be but little chance of
"double dealing" between promoters,
lie supervisors will not allow any
boxer who runs out on one promotei
to stgß up with another.
MIST PLAY FAIR
The promoters must play fair with
one another and cat out the underhand
work of stealing fighters away from
one another, which has been the cus
tom in the past.
Supervisor Caglieri, who takes an In
terest in clean sports, criticised Bone
of the matches that had been maa*.
during the last year, maintaining that
pome of the contestants were un
equally matched in regard to size. He
asked the promoters to match boxers
of equal weight as much as possible.
"VVhen it came to heavy weights, S
visor Cagl'r-ri paid that 10 or 15 pounds
did not matter a great deal.
When the meeting was about halt
over .Supervisor Gallagher strutted into
the room and took up the bludgi
g about the- ringside. The iiam-
I been laid down on this
t 'iallaghtr opened up the;
th fresh vigor. He dag
: motere aba I hdltng
I the .ringside and i
must be stopped. It was passed up to
tbe police, but the promoters are
to be held responsible for it.
AGAINST DOUBLE CROSS
•Iwijrd Ll Nolan declared
against "double crossing" among the
promoters and gave the members of
the boxing association some good ad
vice as to how they could chastise the
managers who did not care to do
(in >he square. Nolan said
the 1 id deny a permit to any
promoter who was found guilty of
double dealing.

CRIMP IN HOPES FOR
RITCHIE-M'FARLAND GO
Insistence on Weight of 133
Pounds Doesn't Look
Good to Packey
(Special Dispatch to The Call)
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—Prospects of a
fight between Willie Ritchie, light
weight champion, and Packey McFar
land, the stock yards pugilist, were
dimmed today with the receipt of a
telegram from Billy Xolan. manager of
the title holder, in which he said the
Chicago fighter, to get a match with
his charge, must do 133 pounds.
Pri.key's f<--ar of the scales is well
known. MeFarland simply will not
make a low weight for fear he will
break down physically. However, it is
possible that either Ritchie's manager
or MeFarland will change their mind
and come to terms.
Manager Nolan's telegram reads:
' Ritchie won't battle any one that
will not make 133 pounds. For Packey
we will make an allowance and not
insist upon ringside weight, but it must
be 133 pounds. Ritchie can make the
ringside notch any time for a cham
pionship match. McFnrland has been
pretending and clamoring for the

who is in New York, and Barney
Lichtenstein represented Thompson,
who is at his home in Syracuse, 111.
The fighters will battle for the new

boxing commission.

Jen Wltlafd is working out daily at
O'Conn ell's IS: ate street gymnasium,
for fights with lesser lights, but his
or.c ambition is to get a match with
Luther McCarty. Jess has accepted an
offer of Packey MeFarland to work out
wiih him, and expects to learn many
fine points of the ga.me through the in
structions of the stock yards lighter.
:r ~ *
Eddie McGoorty is confined to his
an attack of the grip. As
a result Manager Marty Forkins has
been compelled to canoe] two bouts
which were scheduled for the early
part of this month. The match with
Jack McCarren, set for January S,
over the six round distance, and the
one for January 14, with Freddie Hicks
in New York, have been called off.
* * #
Packey MeFarland has closed a deal
to box Jack Britten in New York in
the near future before Billy Gibson's
club. He is guaranteed a purse of
$7,000 and the privilege of 35 per cent
<:f the gross receipts. The weight is
to be 135 pounds, the lightweight limit
recognized by t+ie New York boxing
commission. McFarland's ambition is.
to clean up the entire stable of Dumb
l>an Morgan, whose continual noise
about Packer's fear of Britton has
caused the Bout|i*Wer much annoyance.
To accomplish thia feat he will take
.steve K"t>-I »•! east with him for the
purpose of defeating Knockout Brown.
Packey is confident Ketchel can turn
the trick, and will coach him person
ally to make it a cinch.
Nolan Puts Foot Down
(By Pederal Wlreteas)
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3. —Billy Nolan
in going to pass the buck to Packey
McFafland next month when he and
Willie Ritchie drop into Chicago for
their vaudeville engagement.
Nolan left last evening for San Diego.
where Ritchie is playing this week, and
said before he left that he was getting
weary of listening to the childish prat
tle of the Chicago welter.
"MeFarland is crying like a baby, but
it will do him no good." said Nolan. "I
will not permit Ritchie to fight any
i. If he should, it would not net
him prestige, while if he should be
■haded by a heavier opponent it would
him a lot in that line. If Me
Farland is a lightweight he can make
133 pounds , ."

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT
GUNBOAT'S CHANCES AT
M'CARTY MIGHTY SLIM
Bitter Feud Between Rival
Managers Bids Fair
Never to Heal
■ '
The chances of Gunboat Smith get
ting a match with Luther McCarty
are not very bright—not because the
tar is not good enough to meet the
Nebraskan nor because he would not
draw enough into the box office, but
because a bitter personal difference
which exists between the managers of
both fighters is likely to keep the
scrappers apart.
MeCarney. who is handling McCarty,
and .Tim Buckley, who is looking
after the Gunboat's affairs, are at log
gerheads, their feud dating back to
some time ago when McCarney tried to
■break into New York. <
It seems that Buckley has turned
down McCerrtey Oβ several occasions,
and now that the little Philadelphian
has a chance tv retaliate, he is going
to do so.
McCarney hn? confided to a friend
who lives in this city that he never
will give Qonboat a chance at McCarty
■. i toag as that little, fat, pudgy
Irishman from New Vurk is his man
ager."
There is little cfe&nee of McCarty
being seen in action again for Several

McCarty's Wife Faithful
I" K.RQO, N. !».. Jan. ". —Mrs. Ithoda Mc-
Carty, wife of Luther McCacty.the white
1 heavy writ • ;ion pugilist, talked
1 freely of her hueba&d here Inst night
[ and said that she would return to him

; him is "Luck* , and she referred to hied
;as a "great big, good natured kid."
"He has not written me since last
May," she said, "but after he whipped
i Jim Flynn he sent me money. I wrote
i him congratulating him on his vie
! Tory and sent, him another message Of
j congratulation when he whipped Pal
z< r on New Year day.
"I came here last year and causer!

he went to Chicago and took up box

"I am not mad at 'Luck. , In fact I
always liked my big, handsome chap.
!We never had cross words until he lost
I out in work. Ho was not lazy, but
' would not stick to anything very long.
jHe was good to me, though, when he
i had money. I opposed the Idea of his
going into pugilism, but now that h<.
has reached the top I guess it is all
right.
"I was stranded when he left me
here and so I had to go to work in a
cafe in Moorhoa*!, Mir.n. I have had a
hard struggle to support myself and
little girl, but now that 'Luck' has
plenty of money I am sure he will take
tare of us."
It's the Irish Luck
By ROBERT EDCREX
(Special DUpcUtt to Thy Cull)
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Luther Mc-
Carty will be 21 next St. Patrick's day'
—March 17. It was judt a little less
than two years ago that McCarty
fought his first ring fight. He won
with a. knockout in two rounds. In his
second fight he knocked, out Joe Grim
in four rounds. His first seven bouts
were won with knockouts, and the
longest went 13 rounds—unlucky for
the other fellow.
Looking back over the list of heavy
weight champion* I notice a curious
thins- Tommy Burns and Jack John
son are the only former champions
without a strain of Irish blood. John
L. Sullivan was American born of Irish
parents. Jim Corbett's parents were
Irish. Bob Fitzsimmona was born in,
Helston. Cornwall, Eng., but both of
S his parents were of Irish birth, having
moved to England only a short time
before Bob joined the family. Jef
! fries' ancestors were American straight
j line to .a time long before the revolu
tionary war. Those who founded the
' family here came from England, buy
! only a generation or two before that
I had gone to England and Scotland from
I Ireland. Tommy Burns was French
Canadian. Johnson descended from a
South African tribe. McCarty is In
dian-Irish.
McCarty is expected to arrive in
j this city from Los Angeles next Fri
i day. His manager, Hilly McCarney,
I has practically accepted terms from a
j local theater to have McCarty give
! boxing exhibitions for a week, for
I which he is to receive $2,500. If the
contract is signed McCarty will make
his first appearance January 12.
Burns Versus McCarty?
CALGARY. Alberta, Jan. 3.—Richard
K. Leigan, the Parisian right promoter,
who has been here for several days,
has made terms with Tommy Burns to
j meet Luther McCarty in Paris on the
I day before the Grand Prix next June.
Leigan has wired to McCarty for his
terms.

this morning. McCarney was com
pelled to refuse it, owing , to earlier
arrangements. He has decided that llc-
Carty haa fought enough for one year,
ig had 18 fights in 12 months,
and is entitled to rest until July 4.
McCarty is being recognized and ac
cepted all over the country as the
active heavy weight champion of the
world. Telegrams by the hundreds are
pouring in upon him, coming from the
leading boxing authorities of the na
tion and from former champions, con
gratulating him upon his victory and
giving express-ion to words of recogni
tion of his right to claim the valued
title *by reason of his triumph over
the white hopes of the hour. The black
title holder, who has been impeached
by unanimous consent, holds the tech
nical title, but McCarty is the active
title holder and will be expected to
defend the laurels.
There seems to be a general rejoicing
all over the country that the heavy
weight championship tournament has
ended and that a youngster of such
splendid class and great promise has
come safely through the trials without
a defeat marked up against him.

FOUR ROUND GAME WILL
HE GREAT 1913 START
Baptism of Pavilion Rink to
Be Pulled Off With a
Class AA Card
The first series of four round bouts
of the new year will be staged next
Friday night, when Promoter
Hawes of the American club will put
on 10 bouts at Pavilion rink. Th»
card, which is an unusually attractive
one, Is headed by "Red" Watson, the
crack lightweight, and Lew Powell,
who, at one tlrne, was considered a
contender for championship honors.
It marks the first series of four i
bouts ever held at the Sutler i
pavilion. Some years ago Sam Berpor
and Al Kaufman boxed there. The
place is more spacious than the I>'
land pavilion, and, according to th<*
plans drawn up by the management,
it will seat 6,000 people comfortab'v.
Promoter Hawes ia bent on getting
th<» four round game off to a good
start for 1913, and has spared no ex
pense Id arranging a good card. Tbe
bouts he has arranged bring tog
fighters of all classes.
Red Watson, who appears asr tl
liner on the card, has been figh*: ,
excellent form since he lias be«n
the management of AI Toons.
fiery haired scrapper is likely to be
heard from yt-t. He is meeting; a vet
eran at the game in,Powell, who W&i
one of the most promising lightweight*
on the coast a few years ago and Wβ*
in line for championship honors until
he buckled up with Ad Wolgast before,
the latter became champion.
Powell gave Woisrast one of the
toughest 20 round fights of the Cadillac
boy's career, though he lost the deci
sion on points. Powell has been out of
the going for some months, though he
is in good condition, as he is a lad who
does not-drink or dissipate. Lew is
training at Millett'a training quarters,
which practically has been his home
for some years. He thinks that he c*n
get back into shape and right as well
as ever for four rounds.
The next contest of importance is the
bout between Lee Johnson and Lena
Kegg, the eastern crack who assisted
Willie Ritchie when the latter was
training for his battle with Wolgast
Kegg is a fast lad and is expected to
give Johnson a severe test.
The bout between Frankle Ed*
and Willie Robinson should prove a
good attraction, as both boys are fight
ing in good form. Edwards' last I
against Babe Picato was a clever i>
formance. Willie Meefean, the local
middle weight, who has been showing
good form against the boys of his
weight in the four round game, will
try conclusions with Young Joe Wal
cott, a colored middle weignt.
The other bouts on the card are as
follows:
Freddy Couture vs. Young Abo At
tell, 124 pound 3; Marty Kane vs. Ad
Zotte, 124 pounds; Ed Kennedy vs. Jack
Vuccinichi, heavy weights; Young
Lanum vs. Walter Scott, 128 pounds;
Stanley Dean vs. Joe Herrick, 153
pounds; Young Mann vs. Joe Ketchel,
133 pounds.
Harry Foley has been named as tho
referee.
