 bouts are legal in the State of Penn sylVania Tom O'Rourke is planning a mammoth carnival for his new club at Essington, Pa, which has set the boxing fraternity here thinking.
 O'Rourke's plan is to have Cham pion Jim Jeffries come east immedi ately and settle the question of su premacy between the six heavyweights who are now claiming the heavy. weight title since the retirement of the champion.
 O'Rourke has wired Jeffries ar oser of S100.00O to come eastand meet FitZsimmons, Ruhlin, Burns, Hart, O'Brien and Kaufman one week apart O'Rourke expects to hear from lief fries soon, and in the event of his re ply being a favorable one, O'Rourke had in view several other champion ship battles, which he hopes to land for his new club. Says O'Rourke:
 "t am going to start to thrash out the lightweight championship. Gan; is the best of the lot, and have wired Tommy Ryan to get him to meet Cans"
 How about Nelson and Gans?"
 Nothing doing" said he. You could not get Nelson in the same ring with Cans. Nelson has been told tc look out for Cans. and he is afraid of him. They may say what they please but that is the truth
 Tom O'Rourke is still trying to land Frankie Neil for a match with Ower Moran. He wrote to Jim Neil the other day, asking him to let him know at once about the chances for a match with Frankie and Moran. Neil vii likely go east this sumer, and ii ORourke can show Jim where he can get good purse for fighting Moran the match will be arranged.
 Ugh. Heap big Injun weighing 35C pounds without his feathers, is after Jeffries' scalp. All the way from Ari Zona came this startling announce ment last week, startling because of its ridiculousnesS. But the redskin is said to be in earnest. He has learned of the gold and Yalets that go tS present day fighters and imagines he has heard the jingle of the wampun calling him. But woe be unto him i! he follows the champions trail
 There have been many Tumors of human steam rollers planning to crush Jetfries, and as often have the flu tility Of their ambitions been shown German beer tanks, great Danes and even Chinese giant have threatened to fall en masse on the champions fra gile (?) form, but it seems that il has taken the first native son of Amer ica to have the last dream.
 The reports do not say that the In dian monstrOsity simply wants to com ply with call of the kind to the war paint soaring James J. There arc few brooks on the plains of Arizona but the breeze whispers through the cacti sometimes, and they are just about as liable to bear fruit as this redskins threat.
 Jeffries is now d settler in sunn- California. He has not been heard from, but no fear is felt that he vii i leave his blow to defend his | title. Besides Jeff draws the color | fine. However, he did not specify red |

 The applications now on file at thc 1 fight office for seats for the Nelson. Herrera battle represent total value ,f nearly S12,000.

 If the BrittHerman bout is depend. | mt upon the advance ticket sale, or if | he advance applications are any cri- erion as to the size of the house on | he night of the battle it is practically .s ssured.
 Sportsmen of Los Angeles have evi. fenced an unusual degree >of interest n all three of the battles now on Mo II ;arey's card and small fortunes repre- T Ient the advance application for tick Il it's.
 The Britt-Herman mill is second in .hoice and the advance applications or seats already total close to S4500 When it is known that the difference n the prices for seats at the Nelson Herrera mill is considerably higher han the prices for seats at the Britt Herman battle the total applications Till be seen to be running rather close : r-SS--..her.
