O'Clock yesterday morning with the expec-

NEW YORK, Dec l4-Regarding the offer of
the Olympic Club, of New Orleans, of a
purse of $4,000 for a fight between Goddard
and Frank Slavin, Billy Madden. the for
mer's manager, says the proposition will
not be accepted.
Goddard is quite willing to meet Slavin," "
said Madden, "but will not permit him.
He has never been defeated. while Slayin
and jackson have both suffered defeat L
do not want Goddard to enter the ring un-
less it is for championship hOnors. jackson
whipped Slavin in ten rounds, and there
would be no honor for Goddard in n mt
with Slavin. Goddard will make one more
effort TO induce Corbett to fLht. He Will
post s.. 500, and challenge Corbett to hight
for the largest purse offered and 81, 900 a side.
Should Corbett again refuse Goddard will
then arrange match with Mitchell and
fight him Ior the championship"
