JIM JUDQE'S PUNS.
Ills I'uturo Is Keeping tho I.ocnl
Talent Guessing.
The local sporting fraternity has been
kept guessing as to what will be Jim
Judge's plans If ho wins Monday
nlght'3 20-round boxing contest with
Frank Bartlcy, of Blnghamton. The
speculation has been hlghtened by the
challenge to the world In Judge's bo
half "by his manager, Jack Skclly, who
Is tho matchmnker for tho American
Sporting club. The challenge wns Is
sued through the New York papers and
placed the weight limit at 140 pounds.
One conclusion has been reached In
fact. Skelly makes no concealment of
the fact that the bout with Bartley
will be Judge's final test before going
agnlnst the real big game of tho tlstlo
world. But who the Scrantonlan's
opponent or opponents mo to be Is
something that hasn't been ascertained
and something that Skelly doesn't care
to talk about. The latter's silence can
be partly explained, however, on tho
fact that Juge's victory over Bartley.
the recognized champion welterweight
ot western and central New York, bar
ring Ryan, Is by no means assured.
The engaging of Sam Austin for re
feree Is further evidence- of the Im
portance placed upon tho approaching
content. There Is some good reason
In having for referee tho man who re
fereed the McCoy-Crccdon battle nnd
who Is one of tho best known ring
officials' In the world. Aside from the
good reason fur engaving Austin, what
eer it may be, there Is no gainsaying
the credit due Skelly nnd tho Ameri
can club for providing so great an au
thority and probably at a big ex
pense. THREE PENSION GRANTS.
