HARRY HECTOR
MATCHED WITH
CHIEF MONTOUR
McVey Date Called 'Off and
Willing Texan Will Bu Taken
on for Jan. 14.
Arrangements have been -ompleted by
Promoter L. H. Cook for a wrestling
match between Chief Arthur Montour and
Harry Hector, middleweight, of Beaumont
Tfexas. The exhibition will be held iu the
Metropolitan theater on the night of Fri-
day, January 11.
Hector recently sent an open challenge
to the local newspapers for a match. When
•Toe Mcl'cy of Kansas City backed down
on his scheduled bout with Montour, Pro-
moter Cook wred Hector. The Texas lad
1s said to be a man of good caliber and
la willing to go on with Montour, the win-
ner to take the full si,a re of the wrestler's
percent of the receipts.
Hector in his challenge stated that he
was willing to meet any man of good
utai ding for a side bet of several thousand
dollars. No side bet of this amount, how-
ever. will be posted. The challenger
stated that he had conquered twelve men
lu succession and desired to try his hand
In oklahoma City.
Little in known of the man, but the re-
ports from the Texas town are to the
effect that he Is a coming wonder and
will give the wily Indian a run for his
money.
Promoter Cook Is now arranging for n
boxing exhibition between Kid Ferns of
oklahoma City, and Willie Roach of Se-
lla lia, Mo. This match is to be held on
January 21. Roach has been winning many
contests in the Bhow-Me state, and back
on the Pacific '-oast Several days ago he
used the sporting columns of The Pointer
to challenge Ferns or any other l.'t.'l pound
man. Ferns weighs a few nounds more,
but the match If arranged will proce more
than Interesting. Ferns* last bout was
with Carsey and there was considerable
criticism of the tactics he was permitted
to pursue. After the match it was said
to be doubtful whether he could appear
here without protest.
Negotiations for the proposed Ferus-
Harry Brewer match are going along slow-
ly. Ferns will not meet tlie Kansas City
hoy unless he reduced to 142 pounds,
which Is about the weight of Ferns.
Tickets for the Montour-Hector match
are on sale at Rueb's, Milo's, Grand Ave-
nue hotel, Horseshoe drug store and Pat-
terson & Hoffman's r.tand at Ilain and
Harvey streets in the Majestic building.
ADAMSON THROWS
GAGE TO MONTOUR
AT WEIGHT LIMIT
Earl Grey, Racing Enthusiast
Stating that he is still desirous of meet-
ing Chief Arthur Montour, J. Ed Adam-
son. who lias wrestled two losing and one
Wlt-nlng matches with the Indian, has
wiltten the sporting editor of The Pointer
a semi-personal letter, in which he takes
occasion to challenge the Indian for u
match at weight.
Adamson, sine* his last meeting with
the Indian several weeks ago, has been
li'ing the life of a recluse at his home
in Chicago. lb' lias four exhibition
Hatches this month and states iu his let-
ter that In- is training hard for a match
with the Indian, should any l c arranged.
■I will wrestle any man in America for
$500 at inn pounds or I will wrestle Mon-
ti ur for $200 providing he makes JtIO
pounds by .'5 o'clock the day of the
milch," writes Adamson. "If this can
not be arranged 1 will bet the Indian $500,
it le will make 150 pounds, anil will guar-
antee hini that I will not exceed lot
pounds. I will also back I)auuy McM-i-
non for one or two hundred dollars a side,
i wrestle with or without the strangle
held. Dan will wrestle him at auy place.''
Since leaving Oklahoma City Adamson
has been constantly endeavoring to get
the Indian to make weight and go on for
Pnisli and dual match. In all of the
previous exhibitions, Montour has out-
weighed the little mat from Chicago by
ten or twelve pounds. M<JH>*iir in his
nisi match with McMahon, weiglied about
li.b pounds.
Chief Montour Is also desirous of meet-
it g Adamson and since his return from
Cannda has been working hard at the
gymnasium at Fpwortli, meeting all com-
es. lie now tips the scales at about 105
pounds, and it is believed that tie is en-
deavoring to reduce his advolrdupois In
orcei to give Adamson another tilt.
Adamson doesn't. look like particularly
pleasant medicine to the big chief. With
a significant gleam added to that charac-
ter tic smile the It-wou't-weiir-off grin
riint has tantalised so many opponents on
tl.e mat Montour freely admits that he
isn't hankering after auy more of Adam-
son s money.
• It's not that I don't think 1 could
ti-io\\ him again," said the Indian, "but he
v ' lies me something awful. I'll bet I
„"Ver wrestled Adamson that I didn't lose
, .-lit pounds during the match He's a
l,aril one for fair. But If 1 did beat him
a Ma 111 lie would holler that I didn't make
weight."
'J he Moutour-Adamaon bouts were the
K st the fans have seen and many would
1 ,ue to see them rematchcd.

TURF NOTES
FRISCO GETS
BIG FIGHT IF
LAW IS FIXED
(By Bat Masterson.)
New York. Jan. 8.—If San Francisco
really wants the Jeffries-Johnson fight,
there Is no reason why it should not have
It. This Is. of course, provided the light
does not take place nt some point out-
side of California. All that is necessary
for Frisco to do in order to capture the
big event Is to have the aldermen or sup-
ervisors repeal the ordinance limiting box-
ing contests to 20 rounds.
As the present municipal government of
Ran Francisco was elected by on over
whelming majority, on a platform declar
lng for a wide open town, the repeal of
the objectionable ordinance should he an
easy mutter. It is believed that the matter
will be settled peaceably and that the fight
will be pulled off in Frisco.

New York. Jan. 8.—Jim Jeffries is the
lost fighter left in the pugilistic old iruard
and what will be dj next July? Will be
go the way Bob Fltzsiniuions, (ins Buhlin,
John L .Sullivan, Jeems Corbett and the
others went, or will he surprise the world
with first class form and win the title
from the dusky brow of Rastus Jack
George Washington Johnson.
Already bets are being made with Jef-
fries the favorite. The first bet on record
far as I could learn, was made by
Harry Frasee, of Chicago, who wagered
$0000 against $4000 that Jeffries would
win. Fruzoe took the favorite end quite
readily and said he had every reason to
believe that Jeff would be the victor.
But speaking of the old guard Jeffries
is really the last member. The old fel-
lows, not really old either, but worn
out. are retired, lomo keeping barrooms,
others on tie stage and others obscured
entirely froui the face of the earth Tom
harkey runs ii saloon on Fourteenth
street here; Kid McCoy Is trying to get
money enough to start a boxing club and
America i saloon in Paris, John L. Sul-
livan Is In vaudeville: poor old Bob Fitz-
slmmous will be on the stage again in a
short time; Corbett is an actor. Then there
Jack McCormiek and Peter Jackson.
All good "ties in their day, but uot on!
ounce figl t left In their bodies.
One by one they left the ring. Buhlin
retired nfter his poor showing against
Jack McCormiek. Sharkey quit after be-
ing outpointed by Munroe. Corbett lost
hope when Jeffries bent him Iri Frisco.
Peter Jackson threw away his trunks after
Jeff trimmed him iu California. Fits took
the count from Bill Lang In Australia and
is now u dead one Joe Gans went down
before Battling Nelson and Is now con-
tent to run his Baltimore hotel. And now
what will be Jeffs future. After putting
good men into oblivion, does he face tho
same end? We hope not.-.
Oh. but Owen Moran Is the cocky little
chap 1 talked with him about foreign
fighting nnd before he had finished he
had discussed everything from a row with
Battling Nelson down to the price of beer
in Lunuon. Owen docs not think much of
boxing In France. Listen to what he says•
' In Paris it's awful. The most of the
fighters are bums They can t get money
enough in a house for s big go. Most of
the class fighters In France get $200 for
a big fight. Why. that's not enough for
cigarette money. A good many of them
box for $20 and aomo fight for a quid—5
bucks Paris is all right for the dfad
ones Give me London and California.
If there Is any good fighting you will find
it la one of these two places. Battling dnl there did not have the spinal wirt-.
