| the light weight champion of America until
| they have beaten him. Dobbs offer to fight
! Jack McAuliffe any kind of contest from
| four rounds to finish the winner ito take
| all and McAullffe to come at any weight.
| He will fight BillyMeyers or Austin Gibbons
| on the same terms with the exception that
their weight is limited to 140 pounds or the
| championship at 1873 pounds but if necessary
will concede a little to Gibbons; will
| fight Horace Leeds or Joe Walcott
| for the American weight to Wal

1873 pounds and agree to stop him in ten
rounds. Dobbs expects to go to England
to fight the English champion Valentine
