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. All the supervisors wore against bet ■ : lid the : up to thei ; reti wel l - id dor r months, X i a half boys running around thfi ring ting bets. The matter of promoters . -a in was L S'lgges eard from the press and matter was discussed p: ly. Supervisor Hiliner seel allowing promoters to act ret s I!'- thought that the pro ■ re being give;. good pie, and he was ; tting his share —a pr tuation, at that. No defl ation was taken on this matter. The four round game is being con ducted on a better plane now than at ' < the fire, thanks to the of the police committee of the board of supervisors. Which has whipped :nto line. Willis Puts Getfinger Gut In Second In the main event of the Berlin club's fights last night Ed Willis landed a Ftift blow on Joe Gettinger'a jaw and followed it up with a biff to the stom "h which satisfied the latter that he had enough. This attack was made in cand round and the customary 10 seconds were counted. The pair are weights. Walter Mi Dermott and George Hall put up the best scrap of the night, which went four rounds.

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 ti ire that coveted title, or trail Willie • Eng the battle r.

The weight was re cently established by the New York boxing commission. ft • 4 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.

THE SAN .FRANCISCO CALL. SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1913. 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 HOW he !.=: being show-I &r«d with • I offer*, ■■ fid as as McCarney rldvcs through the batfh and picks out the fattest of them Luther will take to the Stage , and leave Jesse WflliM-d MW t l "' rest of the flock ■A'hite hop'-.s" waiting. 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 wanted her. Her nickname fur ; 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! liis arrest for failure to support nit. and my little girl. Rβ promised to do I better and I dropped the action. Theii he went to Chicago and took up box ing. "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.

After cleaning up Frankie Burns, Tommy Murphy brushed his clothes and left for New York. wants to stage a Luther McCartyrGun bofct Smith scrap at Daly City the aft ernoon of Washington's birthday, and wired Manager Billy McCarney an offer 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. 4 — — -♦ The Call's Selections For the Juarez Races JOE MURPHY races at Ju»re« - FIKST RACE — it** end a half furlongs; iiaiiien 3 Vt'ir olds; Index.
