Ulman and Kid Norton Anxious for

Sheenie Joe Ullman of the Pastime Ath-
letic Club and Kid Norton are both eager
to engage in any sort of a trial of skin
or endurance with the gloves, with the
western cyclone, Mike Carney of CaIifor-
mia.
Both Ullman and Norton have come TO
grief at Carney's hands. the former hav-
ing been bested last October at Mont
gomery, Ala, and the latter meeting the
same fate in a contest with Carney last
Tuesday night
A well-known sport is anxious to bring
carney and either Ullman or Norton to-
gether in a regular old-fashioned affair
al point that will prove acceptable to ali
parties. and bet any part Of $1,000 that
the eastern man will prove the better of
the two. While this sort of a match is
not likely to come off, 1t Is probable that
Carney will arrange to meet one of the
pair in the near future in a trial of skin
such bout will no doubt prove we'll
worth seeing.

10 be Hamilton in order to avoid being
taken TO Folkston. His confession was
