AFTER DINSDALE.
Rosenberg's Manager
Wants to Make
a Match.
FORFEIT POSTED.
Boston Man Wants 20
Rounds at 122 or
1875 Pounds.

It's up to the Dinsdale people to
make a boxing match with Morris
Rosenberg.
William Lambert, manager Of Rosen-
berg, called at The Spy office yester-
day and deposited s25 TO show his good
intentions in making a match and also
to have the Dinsdale people come to
time and do some business.
The money he left with the under
standing that a deposit of $50 will be
put up to bind the men to accept an
offer from some club. After they have
done that, the $50 viii be the first de-
post for a side bet of $3.50,
Dinsdale and his hackers have stated
repeatedly that they would like moth
ing better than match with Rosen-
berg, and there is no doubt Of their
sincerity. Neither is there any doubt
OF the sincerity of the Rosenberg
party, as the deposit placed with The
Spy yesterday by Mr.. Lamber shows.
Mr.. Lambert said he is tired Of hearing
so much talk concerning the match and
posts his money in order to make the
Dinsdale party come down TO a busl-
ness gait and take steps 10 secure a
purse from some club.
He will give the Dinsdale men an OPP
ton on the question of weight of
either 122 or 126 pounds. He says his
man can fight better at a low figure
than at a high one, and is willing TO
allow the Worcester men TO name the
weight. He wants the fight to be Is or
20 rounds, according to the wishes of
the club that accepts the match. He
suggests a Connecticut or Rhode Isl
and club. where there would be no in
reference.
He said it will not be necessary for
the Dinsdale people TO meet him con-
corning the match. His money is
posted with The Spy and it's up TO
them to cover it, He says he will
agree to any terms that are fair.
He authorized the sporting editor OF
The Spy to draw up set Of articles
with the Dinsdale party and promised
to sign them if the Worcester men made
them in any way fair. The only c01di-
tons he named are that the match
shall be at 122 or 126 pounds. that it
shall be for Is or 20 rounds and that
the referee shall be mutually agreed on
When asked about the weighing In part
Of the match, he said the usual prac-
tice Of weighing in at or O'Clock
would be satisfactory to him.
Mr.. Lambert thinks Rosenberg can
defeat Dinsdale despite the latter S
good showing against the Boston man
a East Cambridge He said Rosen-
berg has been trying to get on a match
with Dave Sullivan and Patsy Sweeney
The former would not fight for d purse
Of $500 which was offered for the match
and Sweeney wanted to meet Rosen-
berg at catchWeights. Rosenberg Of
fered TO fight Sweeney at 144 pounds
which was the weight at which they
were matched at Portland March s.
Sweeney jumped the hatch and the
Rosenberg people have no hesitaacv in
saying that he feared to meet Ryseu-
berg.
Dinsdale can certainly secure backing
in this city against Rosenberg. The
Worcester boy is considered the best
man in Worcester for a ring fight He
has fought three times and each time
had the best of the argument His
first battle was at the New England
amateur championships in 1894. in
which he got a decision over Leslie
Carr of Cambridge in three rounds
There was no question concerning the
decision A year ago at the same
championships held in Boston under
the auspices Of the 3. A. A.. ne got a
decision over jig Stone of Charlest7wr
in three rounds. In that case. too.
there was no question concerning the
proper decision. Dinsdale had his man
nearly out. His last appearance in the
squared circle was against Rosa0harg
about six weeks ago at East Cam
bridge They were scheduled to 20 10
rounds, but during the seventh round
the police ordered the r-reree. John Z
Sheehan. to stop the bout. ALTHOUGH
neither had done the other much harm
Dinsdale certainly demonstrated his
superiority and cleveruess.
Mr.. Lambert said yesterday thar
Rosenberg was too heavy and could
not fight properly. He had agreed IN
come TO 12s pounds, but the DinsdaIe
people did not post d forfeit to bring
their man to that weight and R9sen-
berg would not come down.
The Worcester people fail to see the
line OF reasoning that a few additional
pounds injure a man
Rosenberg is certainly q big fellow
and those who witnessed his battle witt
Dinsdale at East Cambridge d. n0t
think he can come under lbs r7ur5eI
and be strong. They do not concern
themselves in that. however. and he
chances are viii be only TOO aagar IN
match the Worcester man against Pos-
enberg. ''''
