he was ready to post his money Tor TlghJ
with Hlte Peckhani. The latter Is IN bsIti-
more helping trim Billy Woods up for his
meeting With George Godfrey, and as his
friends were unable to say wuen ne would
be willing TO date a DIatch, nothing toward
bringing matters 10 a head was done. Maher,
the Georgetown man, howevcr, u said 10
stand ready to back PeckiIaui to an amount
to suit Raedy, whenever the former SAYS
the word, and it is likely that if Pat
is in earnest a battle VIII be arranged very
soon. The understanding now is tnat II u

side. Peckhaui will probably weigh about

Billy Mcmillan is out with the statement
that he would like to have another go
with Tommy Ryan, and that If Ryan VIII
meet him he thinks he can get backing for
$500 If the now famous welter- weight tl.-
Dlands bet ofthat much. Mcmillan fought
Ryan about four years ago in Chicago.

that was far below what he should have
done to secure the match. When the fight
came off his strength was gone, ana he
was beaten, but at that he came within
an ace OF putting Ryan out instlc second
round. Mcmillan saysthatifR Ryan wilIneet
him again he will agree to fight at 1i!i
pounds, and at this weight he feels con-
fident he can win. Ryan can fight good
and strong at 142. n
Al. Hereford, of the Baltimore Eur-Ea

interest manifested by the ring followers
in his town in the Godfrey-wocsis battle,
as he has arranged to match the winner
against Jake kllrain, and that the ex-
champion has already gone to light train

for Godfrey to do the very best he can
against Woods, for il Will give him the
opportunity, if he wins. that he has been
claiming for the past four years be WAS
anxious for. Godfrey has always claimed
Kilrain beat him by an accident. and that
he is confident he can defeat him. Though
both Godfrey and Kilrain are pretty well
worn, q fight bet ween them would, no
doubt. create quite a stir among the SPORT
ing fraternity everywhere. I
