Thinks He Can Whip Larkins.
There is one man in philadelphia, who
fights at 122 pounds, who thinks he can
whip Jimmy Larkins, the 122-pound
champion. who recently defeated Jimmy
Hagen. The man who thinks well of
himself is Louis Erb, q clever boxer, and
his opinion is backed up by several
friends, who stand ready aud williag to
match him against Larkins for $500, and
let them fight before the Granite Club of
Hoboken. Erb will weigh In five hours
before entering the ring. and would like
to make a match without delay.
Tom Murray, who took personal care of
Jimmy Larkins while Larkins was train
ing for Jimmy Hogan, writes that he
will give Lynch $500 for stay
Ing fifteen rounds with the Jerseyman.
Murray does not state from what source
he will produce the $500, or nder what
auspices be wants the bout, or the size OF
The gloves. or anything more than is re-
lated above.
