HENNESSY WANTS TO
BOX GOOD; DECLARES
HE'S NOT BLUFFING
The proposed bout between
Sammy Good of Tacoma and Joe
Hennessy of Olympla before the
Shelton Athletic club took on a
new aspect yesterday afternoon
when Hennessy came to Tacoma
and denied Good's statement that
he had ueen bluffing.
"I want to box Good." declared
Joe. "I've been trying to get a
match with him for three years.
He has side-stepped each time. I
feel that I am the better man and
that I can defeat him."
Hennessy declared that the
only reason negotiations had not i
been settled for the bout wera
because of Good's demands re
garding the referee. Good hag
deposited $250 side bet money
with George Shankltn, and Joe
has placed a similar sum wltn
Arthur Young.
"The whole trouble Is that
Sammy Good wants one of his
friends as referee. He has named
three men—Biddy Bishop, his
manager, George Sbanklln and
Arthur Shock," said Heunessy. "I
absolutely will not stand for eith
er of those three."

One of the surprises of the

Secretary Gower said today, oa
the representation that this club
had 75 members entered in the
tournament.
To add to the situation, one
George Evans, a pompous, offic
ious, self-important busy-body, a
member of the club, claims au
thority to run the courts himself.
A bright trick of hLs Monday
night was to drive a young wom

might want to use, after ]erkln<

Hennessy has suggested the
names of Jack Suto, Dick Ultlgan
and Joe Lucau.

Hennessy ta Angered by floed's
recent charges that he was ""bluf

match, aud It looks as thouglt'the
bout would be a good one If it

fore he got around to the jump.
In sizing up, Drew looks like
a cinch in the 100 and 2^o-yard
events, and It Is hard to see how
they can trim Butler in the jump.
It seems the only way the negro
boys can be kept from a clean
sweep In their events is for Mer
edith to beat Dismond in the 440.
Meredith has the class, consist
ency and a wonderful burst of
speed.
The park hoard should get wise
to itself. These courts are pub
lic—and for the whole public, not
an exclusive club. If any club
wants to pull off a private tour
nament, let it build its own
courts. If it wanta to hold a
tournament on public courts, let
it obey the ruleg which apply to
all.
As to this perßonage, Evans,
what he needs is a moling bath
la the pond of nearby Wright
park.
