SILER SAYS JOE
WILL SURELY Win
Thinks Californian Can Easily
Defeat Melody in Fin
iSh Fight.
BY GEORGE sILER.

Billy Honey) Mellody's championship
title was slightly punctured at Philade-
phia last week. and IL Joe Thomas. who
did the puncturing. can train down 10 AZ
pounds Billy is in a fair way of losing
his much-eherished welterweight title.
The Californian has peen after Honey
ever since the latter claimed the cham
pionship by defeating Joe Waicott. but
Billy. although knocked out by Thomas
on last Labor dav in eleven rounds.
would not consider a match with him
unless he agreed TO fight at 142 pounds.
This was thought too light for Thomas.
as during the last four months he has
been seeking matches with middieweights
of not over 15l pounds. a weight which
prevented his matching with Hugo Kelly

to 90 as a side bet. or double that
amount IL necessary. and challenged
Melody and Tommy Ryan. and also
agreed to permit Billy to ~ the weight.
That demonstrated he, Thomas. could
scale as light as could the champion. and
those in touch with the situation were
surprised when Melody. in matching for
the Philadelphia bout, set the weight at
1i5 pounds.
Melody Fixes Weight.
1t was at those figures they met last
week for their six-TOUnd tilt and while
the championship did not hinge on the
result, Thomas proved himself the better
man. He upset Billy in the opening
round for a short count, and before tho
final bell convinced the spectators. and
Melody in particular, that he was his
master at AS pounds According to ac-
counts, and they all agreed. Joe had il
on the BostOnian in all the departments
of the game. He scored with left to face
at will. and delivered a number Of stag
gering rights. but failed TO follow up his
advantages. which made it appear he
was not trying for a knockout. and for
which he was Kissed.
Reports also state Thomas looked too
finely drawn. so the proba Utilities are he
was weak al the weight, which may &C
count for his not tearing I'm after Billy
when he apparently had him in a bad
way. Melody did not fight up to the
standard expected. so he either had an
off night or else Thomas is his master.
A battle for the championship in Ne
Vada is now in order.

Nolan RaIky.

Billy Nolan Nelson's manager, is speed
ing westward. He was telegraphed the
conditions imposed by Cans and answered
as follows: 1.-THE division of the purse
required by Cans is out of the question.
There will be no bonus for fighting. We
will split for him any way he wants to.
There will be no win, lose or draw con-
ditiOns whereby Cans gets the best of the
terms Have several offers besides Ely;
will close with the one offering the larg
est purse. BILLY NOLAN
From these two kilograms it would seem
as though the distance between the two
fighters has not grown any less since
the opening of negotiations. Nolan seems
TO have the whiphand. however, for while
Cans is the champion, and under most
conditions champions are in a position
to dictate terms. Nelson is undoubtedly
the most popular. and if Cans wants 10
fight him he viii have to make better
conditions.
Tex Rickad will hang up a fat purse
for Melody and Thomas. The battle
these two jolly millers put up in Phila-
delphia was not satisfying to either of
the principals and they are talking fight
again as fast as they can.
\ good. substantial purse out in Nevada
would be the inducement to bring them
together and bridge the difficulties be-
tween them. They would make a great
match for Richard to stage in connection
with the Gans-Nelson battle.
