that Teddy Murphy had been ar

Nelson admits that he instructed
Murphy to place a bet on his chances,

JEFFRIEs TO FIGHT AGAIN.
Fitz, Hart and Crotch Want Match
With the Champion.

Denver, Dec 24.-Champion James
]. Jeffries has received informal no.
tice, through the press, of three prob
able challenges from Robert Fitzsim-
mons. Marvin Hart and Frank Crotch,
the Buffalo wrestler. Jeffries said
today:
"An hour ago I would have said
despaired of getting on a fight for a
long time. All any white man has to
do is to go to Frisco and convince the
public that he would give me a battle
worth the Dublics time and money.
Frisco is the only place where a fight
can be held without danger of a fiasco
al the last minute through interfer-
ence- The Frisco public is wise and
when it wants to spend money to SEQ
me fight will fight the man it picks.
Hart has the qualifications of a
good man, and best of ALL has a clean
record. 1 don't know Crotch. as L am
not interested in wrestling. He is
taking the right course by going to
California and is wise in getting in
with Mccoy, who can teach him what
ever clevernesS he lacks and who can
show him how to hit They all look
alike to me and I am ready for any
one. The Frisco public got duped in
the Munroe affair and it is only just
to let Frisco get even by picking it's
own man for the next bout"
