Los Angeles, Cal, May 9.-After the

calling off OF the bets on the fight
The fight was advertised to be for
a $4,000 purse but this was disputed

there was a wrangle over the size of
the purse, which did not come up to
expectations and the dispute arising
from this resulted in the bets being
declared off.
