club has received a Proposition from the
managers Of John Willie and George
Gardner for contest to take place here
sometime next month, at 16S pounds. The
big fellows hate each other and bout
between the two would be worth going
miles TO see, that Is, to fight fans The
men are willing to battle for 70 and % per
cent Of the gate receipts.
A house divided against itself. That
seems to be the position of the fight pro-
mOters on the Pacific coast The Yosemite
club has not as yet secured It's permit to
hold the Jetfres Munroe fight simply be-

Chicago boxer, this Mexican fellow has
the best chance.
A battle between them would be worth
going miles to put your peppers" on.
And. furthermore, just because Nelson de-
feated Hanlon, don't get 1t into your bon
net that he is going to do the same thing
TO Herrera,
|. for one, like the chances OF Aurella.

the time they fight Qf they ever dol but
If they We're TO hook up tomorrow

OF condition. and then remember well the

promoter ought TO bring the pair together
