JAPFE , us poor Irish?" exclaimed Jnck Hkellv. Yonkcrs, N. Y oxpert nnd critic on box. lng, after the Kllbane-Lconnrd bout here last Wednesday night. "Looks as though the future ring champs arc to he of Jew tsh blood." continued the famous feather weight of the early nineties. With Jack Dempsoy and Jack McAullffc, Skelly was one of the wonderful Three Jacks a trio of the greatest boxers of tho Old Guard. Speaking of tho sensational success of Leonard, and tho Hebrew boxers In general, Skelly said: "Probably the secret of their brilliant ring work In recent years has been the careful, normal lives led In nr out of train ing by Jewish mitt wlcldcrs. PuglllRtlc fame and fortuno doesn't seem to lead them to dissipation and tho merry path that lias destroyed tho grand physiques of i'o many gladiators of other races, No Bright Lights "You don't find Benny Leonard whooping It up along the Oroat Whlto Way llko other lightweight champions before him This Iso goes for n'l tho topnotch Jewish fight ers, like Ted Lewis,' tno new wcitcrwoignt champion : Hattllng Lcvlnsky, probably tho light heavyweight boss; Al McCoy, tho f iupposcd middleweight tltleholder; Charley 'White, Wllllo Jackson, Franklo Callahan, 1 Eddie Wallace, Joe Hurman, tho Chicago bantam, and Soldier Uartfleld. "They not only lead clean, athletic lives, but they probably train more enrncstly and ' thoroughly than tho average Christian boxer. In fact, I know they do. And It the Hebrews continue developing in llstlana h they have In the last few yearH wo may see all tho tltlcholdcrs of Jewish blood, from the flyweight to tho heavyweight classes. Again, Holy Moses! won't that be dreadful for us poor Irish! Wo who have predominated as fistic champs and ring Idols for a hundred years or more in this country, England and Australia? Giving 'Em Credit "I certainly consider that the Jewish boxers deserve great praise, credit and honor for their remarkable progress In the ring. They have studied and learned tho manly art by close, strenuous attention. They understand tho great valuo of getting Into boxing condition and they have worked hard to attain prominence In tho front ranks of their divisions. "On the other hand, the vast majority of ' nd conscientiously. Neither do they en deavor to acquire tnc nno poims m huxiiik to thoroughly und earnestly. "So without any prejudice whatsoer. I must give tho Jew Ish boys all duo credit for the prominence they have attained." Skelly was one of the many surprised by Leonard's quick knockout over Kllbane. . ..

Bpeaking of "The Fake" It Is not too lato to comment on the cry of "fake" that was supposed to have been connected with tho Kllbane-Leonard match. Not only were blemishes thrown on the two treat champs before the bout but also on the men who'woro behind the most Impor tant contest In years. Tho knockout proved ft mighty wallop to the report, and also those who started tho uproar. No doubt the rumor was gotten Into circu lation and to tho police department by lomeone engaged In promoting bouts, or wno was anxious to break Into tho stnglng end Bf h I W- m !?,?- INDIANS HERE ON WARPATH PING CHAMPIONSOF FUTURE MAY BE OF JEWISH BLOOD, DECLARES OLD-TIME IRISH B0& ISUCCESS OP HEBREW BOXERS DUE " f nrn pp OPTT.p t rinxrn a xtta m -,. ---. - K x w a a. wo. uiv xjx v xi-N or -vi ) k. a n m i It OA-7-Ct TAnTrnTrr,r, -.-. i ... 1 14 , oaio emutv biuLLY, STAR OP '90S I Benny Leonard Passes Up Great White Way As v v.- -v,w.i.lo wx XAia riesn anQ jl00clj m Effort to Shine on Fistic Horizon RM1 I of tho game.

McGovcrn wants another chance to clip Dundee on the chin, and ho believes, so does Freddy Kelly, that ho can duplicate Wllllo jacKsons reat. McOovern boxes Lew Tendler at Shlbe Park Wednesday night Terry feels so cer tain of victory over tho newsboy southpaw that ho has nsked for a meeting with Dun dco before the Wop Scotch is signed for a match with the champion. A fracas with Dundee, McOovern soys, would ellmlnnto Johnny from tho path of Leonard Yes, Terry Is quite confident that he can knock out Dundee. And no ono can hate or ar rest McOovern for believing that he can slip tho "twilight sleep" to his fellow country man.

Al Palzer, the lato Iowa farmer, who died ns a result of rillo shots fired by his father last week, was one of the largo crop of white hopes that came Into prominence shortly after Jack Johnson won the -heavyweight title from Tommy Hums. Luther McCarty was tho best of the bunch and nftcr a series of victories he claimed tho whlto heavyweight championship, under the management of Hilly McCarney, of this city. Palzer woj a big, strong fellow, and ho could punch hard, too, but he lacked the science to make a star boxer. He gained a lot of prestige by knocking out Hnmhardlor Wells, of England, In three rounds. A few months after ho was stopped by McCarty In eighteen rounds In a match billed for tho white hope title. The contes took place at Vernon, C al., January t, mm. After suffering this knockout, Palzer suf fered a series of other defeats and was for gotten virtually until about two weeks ago, when he announced his desire to do a come back slneo being t-parrlng partner for Fred Fulton.
