had in handling the Nelson-Gans fight
and intends u become n bidder for
other pugiiisuc events. According 10
report IL has bid $4,000 for match
between Jimmy Britt and Joe Cans,
the same TO take place somewhere
around Christmas time.
AS yet Britt has not received an Of

Said Willis last night 70 The writer:
Jimmy told you before Cans and Mel
son met tEGt he would De ready 70
meet the winner. and his feelings have
experienced no change. To put Il
frankly. he would have preferred Mel
son to Cans. Now, mind you, this is
not because he figures Nelson would
be an easier man 70 subdue than Cans.

Coldfeld Enthusiastic.
The fact that il has chosen q midwln-

camp is satisfied if it can get together
a big enough crowd TO fill its arena
without relying on visitors from points
outside the Goldheld belt
For that matter. this was shown by
the attendance at the championship
bout on Labor Day. or the 700 per
sons who are said 10 have witnessed the
famous event, it is doubtful If 800 came
