Is all the Cincinnati Slug

Cincinnati, o. Fen. tl--Ahe sllHa
tion is more complicated than ever to-
night regarding the contests here next
Friday night between Martin and
Chnds and Jonries and Rubin.
IL was thought that arguments
would be completed tonight before
Judge Houlster on the APPLICATION for
permanent injunction against the proc
posed contest Tho attorneys. how
ever insisted on so much time for arr
guments that another day viii Doe spent
i'm hearing them. 1t is hardly possible
that Judge Hollister will be ready TO
render his decision ON Tuesday MORN
ing, and If he renders 1t on Wednesday
or Thursday there will be very little
time for the proposed appeal to the
higher courts.
Meanwhile. there are AN sorts of
rumors about other proceedings. in-
Guiding an action against Maiden and
Brady for perjury and especially the
former.
During the arguments this Afternoon
Judge Peck Insisted that the proceed
ings should be IN the criminal court
room rather than one ,of equity and
asked why Brady, Madden and other,

fight and held the same as Jemries and

Counsel for the injunction said that
such might be the case further ON. At
any rate there is much talk about
what yet may be done 20 prevent the

1 jurisdiction of the court of equity to
grant such an injunction as Is asked

possibly otherwise in case the injunc-

William A. Brady made a dramatic
as well as a strong witness today. He
was not kept on the stand as long as
Madden yesterday, but he made much
more Of an impression. Madden had
! testified that Jeffries would spar with
love taps" for points Brady said
his man would hit as hard as he could
to retain the championship and he had
no doubt that Rubin would meet him
equally vigorously. Brady said any
other kind OF a performace would be
a fake and an imposition on the public,
Brady, however. maintained as did
Madden that there had been no prize
fights since the days Of Sullivan.
Brady testified To sitting beside
! Theodore Roosevelt at one of the con-
tests in the Metropolitan theatre IN
| New York. He testified TO reserving
a SoX for Roosevelt at another con-
test but Roosevelt did not attend.
Brady thought his failure to attend
was because the New York papers had
said so much about him having a box
reserved.
Judge Harmon asked Brady n hC

Brady replied in the negative. and pait
a high tribute TO Roosevelt
Judge. Hollister asked Brady IL j.,

that the question was uncalled for Juds.
