day night, has been matched by the
s;l \ club 70 meet Harry Lewis on
Wednesday.
joe Thomas, the California boxer who
beat TomnIy Sullivan 50 decisvely
Tuesday night. will in all probability be
tied up with Joe Walcott for 4 bout III
Chelsea Labor day.
I>id Goodman has been offered Il
chance to box Tommy Murphy in Phil
adellhia the later part of this month
and he has accepted it. The kid IS
camping ut Sharon. and looks better
and stronger than for long time.
Hugo Kelley is anxious to show tie
sports what he is capable Of ing in
the ring. He wants to meet Fit2sim-
mons at 1913 poundws. but it is doubt
full if the "old man can get down to
that weight.
Paddy Minnahan, who is now manas-
ing Jimmy Gardner, has received an Of
fer from Johnny Reid Of Seattle Of
$4,000 purse for Gardner and Willie
Fitzgerald, but Gardner will meet Peter
Sullivan in Valley Falls before going
West.
There was a time when Grift Jones
name was enough 70 insure q packed
house, but that was several years ago.
| Crit was one Of the best little fellows
| in the game. Not long ago ne was tax
en- i'll and visited a hospital, where he
received the best of medical attention.
| Now that ne has recovered his health,
| something he has not had in four years.
| he thinks he can fight his way up the
| ladder and regain the old position. He
is young and strong and clever as ever.
Washington Post: AL Kaufman came
| East TO meet the best we had here. and
| goes back home in few days badly
disappointed He proves that he is
good by humping to sleep the only
original image of John L.. otherwise
| Fred Bradley. Both OBrien and Ber-
ger did pull out and leave him. just as
he said they would. He figures that
| they cannot get away from him in the
| long run, and that his bout with Burns
| will force them to come to terms OF
| have the fans give the laugh when they
are not telling jokes.
Ii was a big surprise that Billy Nolan
made the weight 1G3 at o'clock in the
| afternoon instead of rinSSde for Joe
Cans. 1t is public property that Mel
| son can do Us ringsiGe without hurting
hilnself Cans claims and expressed !:
| willingness to do 1873 ringside, but the
terms of the match make the weight III
least six hours before the bout. II
Nolan did not bear the best of reputa'
ton and Nelson the same, the public
would begin to wink. but even the
most suspicious agree that there IS 50
little love lost and 50 much at stake The
men must be on the level.
| Hanlon and Britt have been matched
for more reasons than that they VII
Draw a big crowd. When Hanlon. rs {
1G-yaar-old boy, stood off Young Cor
bctt and Jimmy Britt had beaten th'
pair would have made a great card
GoldGelds has drawn the big Nelson
Cans battle and there is Il strong SuS
picion that the affair will really come
OF in Frisco, despite all these preilm
inaly puW-WoWs. Hanlon has bee!
Lpatrn by COrbptt and Nelson, ana l.
not the boy he used to be. while Brit
| refused to fight in Philadelphia stn'
was badly beat by Nelson. He Is IL
poor reputc with the sporting critics
and m.,ny think that most of his bout:
| have, bpnn fakes.
