FREAK BET MADE IN BOSTON Brave Fan Gambles 700-Mile Walk with Mud Turtles Against $100 Braves Will Cop. JINX FOLLOWED RED MURRAY BY FRANK 6. MENKE. | NEW YORK, June 6—The wager made | in Boston recently by Willlam N. Jarvis . Fred Woodland ranks as one of the | freakiost ever made since gambling be- mme & sin. Jarvis is & Brave ropter. Woodiand jcesn’t think very much of the Braves. An mrgument ensued and this bet was | nade: It the Braves win the 195 National engue pennant Woodland will pay $100 to Jarvis. But should the Braves lose, Jar- vis will h to do this: Waik from Moston to Philadeiphia and back, aocompanied by lLucy Lee, a pet e turtle. Lucy must walk two-fifths of the way. The other three-fifths of the way Jarvis must carry Lucy on his back. very swift mud turtle odffld cover tvo mi u day. Owing to the fact that it amble two miles out of every five, and is not renked as a speeding | mid turtle, it looks as if Jarvis and his | turtle will average abotit one and a haif | milea per day. The distance from Boston to Philadel- phla and back, a la hoof, is close to 700 milés. Covering ah average of even two mifles a day, It woul take Jarvis and mud turtle companion just about ome year to make the round trip. Assuming that Jarvis gets about $40 a week when regularly employed, it would mean that he will lose about fifty weoks” —or 82,0011 he makes the walk, in to losing wdight and patience and Wi equilibrium. Two thousand 1o one hundred dollars that” the Braves will win the pennant.

Gibbons has proved beyond question | that he is the class of the middle weights. A glance through the list of cont ders | Glacloses none that bas & chance with | the “Minnesota Zephyr” over the short route at any rate. It is true that Gibbons has never ventured into the unknown and risky twenty-round - business. He has contented himself with raking in the golden shekels while giving ten-round ieusons, but s there any who will deciare, | and belieye what he says, that Gibbons | cannot ramble through twenty rounds and hold his own? Certainly circumstantial evidence is Al | In tavor of Gibbons being able to turn | the trick without losifig any of the prowess that has made oné\ of the most popular boxers in the game today. Glahos through the layout of midale- Welghts who are conceded to have & chance: “Young™ Ahearn, “Mick” King of Australia, Leo Houck, “Eddle” Mo- Goorty, “Jimmy" Clabby, George_Chip, “Dave” Smith of Australla, Jack Dillon, Frank Khulm:nd “Jett" Smith. Com- pare these Individdally with ' ‘Mike" Gibbons and what's the answer? Of the outfit there are but two who are within several kilometers of heing as clever es Gibbons, Ahearn and Clabby.

Just at) present it Is Impossible to say which will sufyvive as the management of both; corporations have to date served some toothsome, fight dishes to thelyr patrons. 5 With the competition for suitable at- tractions ragiig apace between these two clubs ‘the fight fun of New York Is bound to benefit, as he will be afforded & ohulce of two, good cards whenever thess clubr Leesent shows.

It'is & novel sight to match the agility Mike Gibbons will endeavor to strengthen his claim o the middiewelght premier- ship.. Michael haa given up his proten- slons to the welterweight crown, .as he admits he cannot make the . required poundage of 142 ringuide. .

It is lkely that ‘Welsh will appear in & bout at Brighton on Independence day, while Willlams will provide, the oppost- tion at Eibbets field the same aflerncon.

So. that climinates two supposed contenders . for the middleweight title, and diminishes the list of Gibbons' prospective, victins by two. Al McCoy Is not even belng, con- sidered as an opponent for Gibbons. No wonder, after the way McCoy has been pantomiming in all his bouts of late.
