Show JUST 00TS10E THE P3IZE RING Markham Anxious to Try Again Jony McCarthy Draws the Color Line. Tommy Markham, the Eureka boxer, who lost to Jack CIlfTord at the Grand theater Friday evening, was around yesterday looking somewhat the worse for wear after his mill with tho Butte fighter. Markham plainly shows the effect ef-fect o the severe chastising he received, his face and body being badly marked up. He wears a cut over his eye from a blow received early In the second round and his forehead Is badly swollen from a series of left Jab3 handed out by Clifford. Clif-ford. Although the Mammoth lad Is still feeling the efTects of his go with Clifford, Clif-ford, he Is anxloua for another try and thinks that with more training he would be able to hold his own with the fighter from the north. "I have no protest to make on the outcome of the fight," said Markham yesterday, "but believe that I should be given another chance. I would be In much better shape another time and. think I could make a better showing." Clifford wore his usual smile yesterday yester-day and had no battle scars from the contest Friday night. He Is now contemplating con-templating a go with Jack O'Kcefe aa soon as tho latter recovers from his ipresent Illness. o e From Butte comes the information that Jerry McCarthy has drawn the color line. This probably sound strange to Salt Lake fight fans who witnessed McCarthy's bouts with George Gibbs in this city. The "Walkervlllc pet" gives nc reasons for his decision In the matter, mat-ter, but simply states that he has cut out the colored boxing fraternity for keeps. In a letter to W. A. Trcmblay of Miles City McCarthy otates that he Is looking forward to a match with one "Philadelphia Tommy Ryan" at Ogdpn some time in April. The last named fighter is a stranger to the light followers follow-ers of this vicinity. . Caesar Attell, who participated in ono of the poorest boxing exhibitions ever perpetrated on the local public, has loomed -up In San Francisco. Attell fought In one of the preliminaries to tho Corbett-Sulllvan match at that place recently and secured a draw. His opponent op-ponent wan George San Franson, a boxer hailing- from Nome, Alaska. |
