TWO CHALLENGES.
Dick Case Wants tn Fight Jack
6reen-Nnx Marb~t Thinks He
Can Throw West.

Two challenges are offered through the
Post-inteliigencer this morning for con-
tests that will excite great interest among
the sporting and athletic circles OF the
Northwest. All the parties are well and
widely known and each has a considerable
following
The first challenge comes from Dick
Case. who has just returned after fight
ing a twelve-round draw with Kid Egan
in Victoria. Case wants 10 meet Prof.
Jack Green, OF the Seattle Athletic Club.
and as a guaranty of his sincerity yestsr-
day deposited with the observation-disclosures
a check for $50 drawn BY friend OF his
upon a North Yakima bank Case and his
friends ask that the match be arranged
10 come of In about six weeks, and that
IL be for 500 a side.
AS stated in yesterdays Post-Intelligen-
Ger. Cases friend and Matt Reese put up
$40 each In the hands OF Joe Schlumpf 20
bind a match between Case and Green.
but this action was entirely without the
knowledge Of Green himself. and IL Is
somewhat doubtful whether his business
engagement viii permit him TO accept the
challenge. The two men. accompanied By
friends. are to meet this morning 10 talk
the matter over tn an informal way.
When seen by a reporter last evening.
Green expressed HIS personal willingness
10 meet Case or any one else In his class.
But you see" he said. Il have my
duties as instructor in the s \. c. 10 at
tend to. While ! am here ! cannot enter
any sort OF contest for decision. have
plenty or backing offered me, but IL a
match Is made / want IL so that II l win
there will be something in IL for me. It's
no use for 4 man TO Eight just because
people are willing TO Get on him.
Il expect to have a vacation from my
work in the club commencing some time
in June. ] am going 10 meet Case sou1or-
row and talk IL over. can't go In train
ing while I'm at work here. and ] will
want az least six weeks to get ready for
a match. I should wan, SIS or 500 guar
nnteed for training expenses, and unless
win that's all ask for IL l win. ! want
fl % be pretty good sized pot. am quite
wiling 10 fwht Case. and ] hope the thing
can be arranged satisfactorily al around. "
The gate receipts on a match between
the two men should Dc very heavy. and
II Is not unlikely that thar prospect may
induce some one 70 take hold % the mat
ter and orer a good purse. That would
settie Green's reasonable objection 10
fighting on other peoples money. and
since Case appears 50 anxious 20 make
the fight he win doubtless be willing 10
walt until Green can meet him without
violating his agreement with the . A Z.
II will make 8 differences Of only Few
weeks at most
