at his place of business in Jersey City
"There is one thing wish you would con
tradict through the columns OF your paper
and that is in regard to the statement
which has appeared in some of the pspsr'
that l wss trying 10 crawl on
of q match with Johnny Murphy BIS
Offering to fight him for 81 500 purse wher
my original demand was for So, 500 stake
The reason I have made this offer was e
make 1t easier for Murphy. l knew hI
would have trouble in getting the back
ing for that amount, aud 1 thought ou
chances for fight would be much suTel
by having some club put up purse fol
, Us. 1t is claimed that this Is big come
down. Now | am just ss anxious as eve
to fight for stake, and can raise So, 50(
| or more if necessary for fight with Muir
phy or any other ia pound man in TIL
country. l am confident l can defes
Murphy and am anxious to prove it b.
making a match 10 fight for either stak,
or purse lust as soon as he or mis- backer
are ready 10 post forfeit, which l hop'
will not be long"
