Kid Carter in Fine Condition
For the Call of Time.
Ready For the Battle With Hart
Saturday Night.
YOUNG AND VIGOROUS.
The Two Lads Should Put Up a
Terrific Contest.
Even in Height, Weight
and Arm Measurement.

Cincinnati, May 3.-Kid Carter was
feeling so good yesterday that he re-
considered his determination to cut out
boxing and went on for three rounds
with Trainer Jack Mccormack at the
Norwood inn. The bout was fast and
bloody, both men wading in with much
vigor. They pounded each other all
over the hall, while large crowd
stood by and watched the smuggling
match. After the bout Carter took
refreshing rundown and will not again
put on the gloves until the hour OF his
contest with Marvin Hart at Louis
vile.
Carter has been here nearly two
weeks, but went direct from the depot
to the training quarters and did not
have an opportunity to see the town.
Up to date Manager Macias has
heard nothing in reference to the ar
ticles of agreement for the match be-
tween Carter and Kid Mccoy in Phila-
delphia on May 9. Martin Julian. of the
Penn Athletic club, notified MaciaS last
Sunday that the match would be closed
as soon as Carter gave his consent.
Carter was more than anxious to fight
Mccoy and Julian was notified by wire
that his terms were accepted, but so
far the articles of agreement have not
arrived. Jack Mccormack says that he
is afraid Mccoy will have some excuse
to side-step Carter
Speaking Of his condition, Carter
stated yesterday that he could truth
fully say that he has never been in
better shape than he is at the present
time. BE is confident that he will whip
Hart, but does not care to make any
rash predictions. There can be no ques-
ton about Carriers condition. He shows
every evidence of being in superb form.
and those who have seen him work
within the last few days will verify this
stat ement Joe Macias, his manager,
is very enthusiastic over Carriers
chances. and says that the Norwood
inn quarters are par excellent for train
ing purposes.
I'VE have been treated royalty by Mr.
Dacey, said Macias. and I want to
say that Cincinnati can lay claim to
having the greatest training grounds
IN America. The place is first-class in
every respect. and you can bet Carter
will train here any time he fights at
Louisville or in the vicinity of Gin
cinnatL"
Kid Broad has written to Macias ask
ing him to secure a match with Benny
Yanger or Young Corbett. Macias will
endeayor to put Broad on with Corbett
