than probable that stanton Abbott's
mission to this country to try conclu-
7sions with Jack McAuliffee for the
lightweight champi onship OF the world
will not be IN vain. TIE English
fighter feels more than confident that;
he will certainly be matched with Nc
Auliffe, and that he will have the glow
ing opportunity OF showing the Amel.i-
.a1i public that he is a likely man in
ais class. Abbott has made quite an
impression with the numerous connois-
,ctlrs OF pugilists with whom he has

iority who have seen him will find the.
necessary backing for him against Me-

srcAuliffe won't talk fight with me un-'
less put M some money to show that
lam sincere in trying to arrange q
match with him. ] don't think that's
reasonable OF McAuliffe. because the
mere fact that I have come 3,000 miles
alone would tend to indicate that have
no other motive in view but to fight.
4 That's what l came here for, and from
what have seen and heard will be
more successful than Dick Burge. Me-
Auliffe says that he will fight me at 1913
/ pounds, give or take two pounds. i
will not entertain such u proposition.
4 The lightweight limit is 1913 pounds,
4 and it}would not be consistent to fight
above or below it. II don't think that
| this will be barrier in arranging a
match, for NIcAuliffe has sud that he
could fight easily Mt 1870 pounds.
In regard to a stake, must admit
that at present havenot the necessary
backing. All my hackers are in Eng
/ land. They are all tradesmen, but
good sports, nevertheless expect
4 them here pretty soon; that is If they
see any chunce of a match They arc
lafr;,id to come here now, because they
4 have the impression that no fight will
be arranged, and shall have to return
Just as / came. don't blame them
i for no one likes to travel thousands OF
miles without deriving some benefit
If McAuliffe doesn't want to fight here
he Gun come to England. There are
men over there who will back me fol
s5,ooO in private or before the club that
a they see fit. j will not post auygmoney

when articles are signed to insure my
presence in the ring.
ssTo show how anxious Lam to tigh

has brought me to this country, vii
fight before any club McAuliffe may sc

to u meager purse, even if it should b
