HARD TO GET DOWN TO WEIGHT.

John F. Dinsdale put in hard day
work Yesterday preparing for his battle
with Maurice Rosenberg, which takes
place in Lowell Monday evening
Dinsdale is finding great difficulty II
getting TO weight and will never again
be able to fight at 1876 pounds. Since MS
20 al Hartford, Memorial day, he has
grown big, and if he reaches 126 for his
bout with Rosenberg, which he must dc
according to the articles, he will be
weak
Yesterday the first money talk of the
fight y as heard. No money was shown
/ because no Dinsdale money was III
sight. but it was said about town that
any amount of good money couId De
had on Rosenberg, and the report was
that il was Worcester money at that.
report came from Boston that Rosen-

| five rounds.

Rosenberg's defeat of Patsy Hennes-
sey gives a good line on his ability. Joe
Flaherty fought Hennessey at Lowell.
Wednesday of last week, and the best

rounds. AT that time Rosenberg was
