TO GIVE SHOW
BEFORE JULY 4
San Francisco, March 14.—It Is snid
that Promoter Jliu (iiiffln bus conceived
the Idea of matching a brace of Knud
men for a date a couple of days In ad-
vance of July 4 If the notiou is origin-
al with Gi'lfttu it shows that he has
business ;i umen which will result In
his standing shoulder to shoulder with
/the matchmakers t > uphove world-
wide celebrltj. There was :i whisper
some days .itu that Uickard and (ileason
would have opposit i-m >ii .liny i. '.at the
augyestlon was scouted us a crazy one.
A man who would attempt to promote
a prize rliiy event within fifty miles of
Emeryville track on Independence day
would he voted a loon.
Ou July 'J it will be different. The ad-
vance guards of Johnson-Jeffries dele-
gations from many outside points will
throng the streets «.f San Francisco and
pugilistic prattle will sound.
Anything almost in the shape of n bout
with the gloves will appeal ti the vis-
itors—to say nothing of the stay-at-
homes—and "f course the more import-
ant the 'Ontest the better It will take.
Griffin's first thought wus given to a
match between Stun ley Ketchel and
Bam Lnugford. It shows that Jim is
new to the business when he talks of
such sacred thing.-, so lightly, but at
that It might be just his luck to land a
big thing of that character after the
diplomats and lobbyists of the match-
making belt had failed.
A Ketchel-Lnngford contest Is one that
the sporting public wants to see. In
popular favor it ranks next to the John-
son-J< ffrles affair. It may be that Grif-
fin will bring them t get her. hut I have
my doubts Langford, as ever, is just
aching for a chance at the Michigan
assassin, but if pust happenings are any
clue to what Is in Stanley Ketcliel's
mind, the men will never stride toward
each other from the angles of a prize
rimr.
The news that Jim Flynn "put it nil
over" Langford at Los Angeles a few-
weeks ago will not cause Ketchel to
think more kindly of Langf -rd as a ring
mate. Fur that matter. Flytin's victory
Is having a reverse English effect n
the betting nvn in Los Angeles. After
that other affair one might expect t
find Flynn kc i • e n .<>• nt si M odds
over Langford for the St Patrick's day
fight, but Instead I am informed that
anyone wishing to back Flynn can com-

Milwaukee, Wis., March 14.—Tom An-
drews, compiler of the pugilistic record
book, says the Nels« n Wolggst contest
will go down as a knockout and exhi-
bits the following from Kefcree Ed Smith
as proof:
Oakland, Cal., March 12. 1910.—T. 8. An-
drews, sporting editor Lvetting Wiscon-
sin, Milwaukee, \ n- M ir Andrews:
Pursuant to your rcum -t that 1 give mv
version of the u- - ti ,.f Tuesday
when the Nelson-Wolgast contest was
st pped. I aiu witting >ou th - letter In
the first place, when a referee or chief
second of a fighter either stops a contest
or throws up the *p nge It is done for
the purpose of saviug a tuan from b'
lug knocked out or serious! \ injured, and
sometimes both. That Is the reason why
the content of Tuesday must he colisid-
eied a knockout, for while Nelson was
still on his feet and gamely trying to
step in (lose to his opponent he was so
\ eak that his punches lacked any sem-
blance of force, and he was holding his
feet only through the fa<-t that he has i
wonderful balance on them attained
through the fact that he never pulls
them closer together than at least eigh-
teen Inches, and then his feet are always
flat on the floor In such a manner that
the balance Is never lost For the first
time In the Battler's life however, lie
was so weak that the I : ht left Jabs of
Wrlgast would almost push him over,
nnd there was great di'i.cr of serious
result had he been knot k« d to the floor.
'1 lie stopping of the contest in width the
championship changed hands Is the first
championship battle that 1 is ever ended
that way, Insofar as my memory carries
me, and is a thing out of the ordinary.
The man who was beaten, however. it
also out of the ordinary, and proved the
ganiest piece of fighting m I .nery that

contests would in in.v wtiy of thlnkiux bo

Nw York, March 11.—Science Is com-

years lightweight fighting had been a |

Petter wait a bit, Joe before you start

I have heard a lot of talk about Gene
c.irrl to referee the big fight on July -1
'Gene is a nice man and I like him but
h will never referee that fight. Corrl is
tlie official referee of the National Sport-
ing club In London and he has made ar-
r.'n gements to come to America next
summer to see the fight but he will wit-

It takes Stanley Ketchel an awful long
time t.' get Into shape these days not-
withstanding the fact that he isn't doing
any hill- Stanley took n week's post-

queerest thing about this Is that the

During the next two months
we will give two talks each
week on the subject of dry

thousands of people in Okla-
homa City and vicinity who
have never had their clothes dry
cleaned and so do not realize
the benefit that dry cleaning is
to their soiled garments.
We will sIho eudeavor to Im-
press upon your inind tlat I ho

dry cleaned is at the most < oin
