There will be no contest at the Angel
City Athletic club tonight. The negotia-
tons with Joe WEIGH have fallen through,
he not believing that he could make a
good showing with so short a time to get
into condition. The sickness of Fred
Began has left Frazier in an uncomfort-
able hole as regards training expenses,
but the club does not feel JUSTIFIED in
matching him alainst any one who could
not give a satisfactory exhibition.
President Fox announces that there
will be contest at the club about the
middle OF next month, when Frazier
will be matched to fight some man whom
