Billy Trimble must have been eating

tainly appeared In anything but favorable
light last Saturday when discussing the
details Of his supposed fight with Joe Cot
ton. 1t appears that when Trimble issued
his sweeping challenge through The Her.
aid last week he was not aware, 1t Is re-
ported, that Cotton or Billy Gallagher were
In the city, and when Cotton accepted
the challenge Trimble was not nearly SO
well pleased as might have been supposed
from the defiant tone of his challenge. His
manager arranged with Cotton for a
fight on August before the Los Angeles
Athletic club. and then notified Trimble by
letter. The latter claims that he did not
receive the communication until Thursday,
and as he admitted Cotton was a very hard
proposition, he demanded more time in
which to train. His manager consulted
with the club people and a postponement
was secured until August 5. but on Satur-
day when Trimble went to the club to
discuss the matter further, 1t was demand
ed that he deposit $50 forfeit. The club
managers took the ground that they must
have some guarantee that Trimble would
be on hand. His manager decided that he
would not risk the money. 30 the match fell
through.
As a preliminary to the fight, the club
had matched Thurman and De Coursey
