Champion Joe Cans Will Arrive
Today to Discuss Match
R. A. Smyth
Joe Gans, the lightweight champion
boxer, will arrive this morning on a
belated overland train. It was intended
to hold a meeting yesterday bctv.een
Gans, Joe Thomas and Manager Jim
Coffroth to discuss the details of a
match between Gans and Thomas. Ben
S^ligr. who represents the champion bn
this coast, was on hand and asked that
the conference be postponed until today
to afford Gans an opportunity to be
present and speak for himself.
Several big matches hinge upon this
meeting". If Gans and Thomas cannot
agree upon weight and otlier terms
each will seek other opponents. Gans
is anxious to meet the winner of the
Nelsbn-Brltt fi^ht. especially as Tex
Rickard has offered a $40,000 purse if
the men will sign for a finish fight in
his new camp. at Ely. Willus Britt has
said that his brother wculd r.nt hesitate
to sign for a match with Gans," > and
Manager Xolan had expressed a desire
to pit Nelson against the Baltimore
wonder for a return engagement. There
is a slight hitch over the weight be
tween them, however, which up to the
present time.it has been difficult to ad
just. With this disposed of the match ;
cculd be made vritb the stroke of a
pen.'^gg
CoJfroth v.-ants Gans and Thomas to
meet today and discuss their proposed
match, as he has planned to leave for
the Yoscmite tomorrow for a' 10 days"
stay.
Manager Nolan is expected ; home ,
from Lake Taboe today or tomorrow. ;
He is to meet Wll'us Britt tomorrow
night, when they will ' discuss ' the im
portant question of a referee for the
fight between Nelson and Britt. The
list virtually has narrowed down to
three names and there should be no
hitch in selecting the right man. Old '<
animosities have been v/iped out and;
the only desire now is to engage a j
referee who understands the rules and
\u25a0will be just in his decision. Reports
which reach here from the resorts
\u25a0xhere the boxers are training indicate
that they will be in the best possible
condition when the day of their meet- 1
ing comes around. Both will be back
I their old training quarters before
end of the week, and the men who
ow the movements of the boxers
ely will have opportunity to see
ai in action.
1 casting about for excuses for the
\u25a0at of Squires some of his friends
now blame him for not securing a staff
of boxing partners who would put him
through a severe coprse of work with
the gloves in the months he has been
here. The Australian came liberally
*i;pplied with funds and $500 would
have gone a long way toward paying
the hire of two or three men. Instead
of this he boxed with. Britt, Thomas
and such light boys, and when they
could not hurt him he became pos
sessed of the idea that no one could
make a dent in him.
He came with a reputation of be
ing severe on his sparring partners,
but this oversupply of strength could
have been offset by the use of such
devices as the inflated pad used by
baseball catchers and applied to the
use of boxers by Alex Greggains. He
could have also secured a head cov
ering such as Jim Corbett's chief spar
ring partner used when the California
heavy weight was training for his
meeting with Bob Fitzsimmons in Ne
vada. Another advantage of having
some men of his own size who could ;
box a little would have been that he
would learn quickly that he did not
know tf^erything about the game, and
he migM have listened to the advice
of men who were his well wishers and
who wanted to put him on the right
track.
Squires paid dearly for his obstinacy
and if he had it to do over again he
would probably be glad to listen to
the advice of Billy Delaney and others
who have forgotten more about ring
tactics than he \u25a0will ever knovr.
• • \u25a0
Squires is not the only boxer who
needs to be handled sharply by a
trainer. The relative positions of
trainer and fighter have been reversed
in recent years. Before the days of
big purees the principal returns from a
fight were found In the betting and
fighters were always on the lookout for
a man who would wager heavily on
them and would then share the profits.
The backer or the trainer who repre
sented him controlled the boxer with
an iron hand 'and the boxer was as
gentle as a lamb.
Now the receipts are large and some
of the fighters do not bet a cent upon'
the outcome of the matches in which
they are engaged. As a result they
boss the men who train them and order
them about like servants. They, are
above receiving advice. This was ex
emplified in the case of Young Corbett,
who made life miserable for Harry
Tuthlll and the others who handled
him during the height of his career
In the ring.
• • •
,A boxer was training recently for a
fight which was practically the turning
point of his career. Winning, he would
be In a position to make a lot of
money, while losing • meant that he
would have to retire from the ring
and take up clerical work. With this
prospect In view he set about to train
himself. There was no system to his
work and he did as he pleased. Visi
tors at his training quarters saw that
he was overtraining, but he could not
see it. He had 'a boy to rub him down
who knew nothing of the wonderful
art of the-- masseur and he received
little benefit at his hands. This penny
wise pound foolish policy is hard to
understand in view of the' large re
turns to men who are successful In
the ring.
• • •
It will dawn upon Sammy McClintlck
and Dick Hyland some day that * a
fighter owes; something to the public
•which supports him so liberally. Twice
this pair has run out on the eve. of a
\u25a0fight, and now they are discredited
throughout the Rocky mountain dis
trict. Hyland never ; lived ' up to his
early promiee- In this city, many here
thinking he had the material of which
"champions are "made." The .» following
touching up Hyland and his manager
clipped from ". the Omaha Bee i will in
terest fight fans here:
"One of the comf oVtlng reflections -in
connection ' with the* fourth •of July lo
cally Is the fact that not enough Omaha
people cared' to journey: to ; the strip of
Cutoff Island :•; that Is known , as "No
Man's Land" and pay \h for the pleas

Ing Dick* : Hyland C to [j enter," the i ring.
Once upon a time. when f a 7 , man aspired

! in this as •well as other matteivs, the
prize fighter of today : is never heard

ager does all the talking. And, "who;
pray, is "Fighting Dick* Hyland. \u25a0 that
he demands a purge that ought to sat

! has developed an impudence that fairly

j long ago champions. \u25a0would jump at the
chance to fight for half . of $1,000. but

'class, as pole ,1s from polo, demanding
! all of the thousand before he, will. even
• consent to 'spar*, the gentlemajily
• rounds permitted under the liberal
i straining of the.N ebraska law. It
doesn't matter -what Dick*
and his manager publicly say of
i Omaha; down in their hearts they re
f spect the people, of this city the more
I because they wouldn't loosen up to- sec
1 the exhibition that would have : been
1 furnished if the affair had been put on.
; Whenever the swell-headed pugilist
; gets his eyes down to the fevel of or
i dinary figures, maybe he can get ajo
: in Omaha, but third raters will wait a
long time for thousand-dollar bits in
this town." r s
! \u25a0 • : •
; There are troublous times looming
j ahead for the promoters of the four
round fights. When the city officials
find time they .will surely amend the
I present ordinance governing the game
and many of the clubs will be legis
lated out of existence. The old pro
moters are also menaced by Jack
Gleason and Alex Greggains. both of
whom have bona fide clubs with gym
nasiums of their own. If the present
ordinance is ever enforced they will be
; the only promoters who live up to the
requirements of the law.
• • • ',
Ketchell's great showing with Joe
Thomas at Marysville -on July 4 has!
placed him in line for some remuner
ative matches. The promoters are all
after him, while the men who make a
specialty of handlings fighters are all
offering him their servrces. If the pro
posed match between Gans and Thomas
falls through it is a foregone conclu
sion that Ketchell and Thomas will
hook up again. Jack Gleason is anx
ious to handle the fight and McCarey
is also willing to put It on in Los An
geles.
• • •
Kyle Whitney, the colored welter
weight, who has come up with a rush
during the past year in the four round
bouts, must be reckoned with against
any of.the men in the division. In his
last three fights the police have had to
stop : proceedings in order to save 1 his
opponents . unnecessary punishment.
Whitney hits hard and has a good de
fense and his' real class \*m not be de
termined until he has metiJome* of the'
topnotchers. He 'seems to stand out:
above all the other* boxers developed
# in the four round game in some time.
JOE THOMAS MAY MAKE
A TRIP TO AUSTRALIA
Barney Reynolds Wants to
Take Him Along on the
Next Steamer
Joe Thomas, the crack California
welter weight,, is in big demand these
days. He has been offered a match
with Joe Gans by Manager Jim Coffroth
and the negotiations are still Spending.
In addition to this,* Los Arigeles'pro
moters • have offered him a match ; and
other club managers are anxious to
engage his services. .
Possibly more important than all
these is .the proposal of Barney Reyn
olds, who came to this country as, the
manager of Bill Squires. Reynolds has
asked the welter weight to accompany.
him to Australia, sailing on July 17.'
Reynolds watched Thomas carefully
wnile the latter was, training at San
Rafael for his meeting .with Ketchell
at Marysville on July 4. He formed
the opinions that Thomas would walk
through all available boxers in Aus
tralia without any trouble, 1 once he be
came acclimated. Thomas would become
the protege of Book Maker Jack "Wren
at once and that big- turfman would
back him in all his matches.- With
such powerful influence behind him . he
would be sure of fair treatment in the
"ring.
Reynolds says Australia is 15 years
behind the times in the matter, of box
ing. As Thomas has a' wonderful style,'
it is' expected that big. crowds would
attend any matches in which: he would
be a principal. The prospect is an
alluring one for Thomas, u who ;is * still
young and who would appreciate the
chance to make a sporting pilgrimage
to a foreign land. \
The future movements of the Cali
fornia welter weight ; will depend upon
the outcome .of his - present negotia
tions for a match with Gans here.
