Third Bout Between Melody and

Provided a club can be found that
will stage the bout and offer purse
sufficiently large. it is not unlikely that
Joe Thomas and Honey Melody may
have third meeting, according to the
Boston Traveller, which saS:

also to make the AZ pounds required
by Melody, provided his tide is to be
the stake. To make this weight both
boys will have to pull off considerable
flesh. but as Melody is the lighter of
the two the job will be much easier
for him than the Californian.
The fact, however, that both Honey
and Willie Lewis were much over
weight on the occasion of their bout a
month ago at Valley Falls leaves room
for doubt if the champion can come
down to 142 pounds without sacrifice

MILLIONAIRE IN TRAINING.
Rich Chicago Medico Wants to Get In
to the Boxing Game.

Chicago. March 13.-Dr. Krone, the
millionaire doctor of this city. who is
anxious to break into the boxing game,
and who is touted by Billy Phelon of
Chicago and Joe Cans as a wonder,
has been doing light training for some
weeks, with Il view to battle with
some one of the lesser lights in the
heavyweight division.
He will keep up training for a while
longer, and will then, when thoroughly
fit for a tussle, post fat forfeit to
meet Burns. Hart, Schreck or any of
the boxers of his size. Cans will take
him in hand for awhile. AMI the gil
ant doctor will then be ready for the
fray.
1t is his one great ambition to get
into the game. just for the sport Of the
thing, and without Il particle of WORRY
as to the money. \ bout in Philadel-
phia. for instance, would not pay the
months rent of DIR. krOnc's SumptuouS
suite at the Auditorium. where he has
long made his home. but it would give
him his first step in the fame he seeks
to gain.

Although there have been no heavy
storms for some time the rural free
delivery carriers have a strenuous
time in their travels over the country
roads. The roads are narrow and un-
less one can reach a turnout" it is a
matter of some difficulty for one team
to pass another, as q slight deviation
from the beaten track is liable to
precipitate the team into about four
feet of snow. One of the carriers from
the Augusta Office said yesterday in
speaking of the roads that on going
over his route Tuesday he was obliged
to stop five times to unhitch his horse
from the sleigh, set the sleigh one side
and lead the horse around in order to

O'BRIEN is THRIFTY.
Never Had Manager, But Ranks With
Rich Boxers Of America.

"Philadclphia Jack O'Brien is per-
haps one of the very best examples OF
what boxer can do in the way OF
making money by attending to all the
details of the business himself" says
New York writer. According tC
Jacks own figuring, and O'Brien is
pretty good at figures, he has made
Sis, 150.50 at the boxing game in II
years, without the assistance of a
manager and without being obliged to
whack up with anyone. He has also
made about $4,000 in the real estate
business during the last few years
without interfering with boxing, sc
O'Brien today classes as one of the
rich boxers Of the country.
O'Brien has never had a manager
He has paid men to look after his in
tereStS at the door and at the box Of
flee, and has also paid men to repre-
sent him in various cities where some
thing has unexpectedly turned up, but
a manager of boxers never got any OF
his Lew Bailey made a few matches
for OBrien when he first started out
and while he was still new Lew came
to him, Jack says, with a contract, in
which Bailey agreed to manage Jack
for IS per cent. of his earnings
OBrien baked at once and declared
that no man should ever collect any
of his money, even if he had to quit
the boxing business.
Bailey assisted O'Rricn in many OF
his matches after that. but always as
an employee rather than a manager
being paid a stated sum for his SER
vices. Walter Schlichter also repre-
scented O'Brien on numerous occasions
but he was never Jacks manager"

Boston, March 13.-That the member

by the attendance at the clubs meet
ing at Pythian rink, Chelsea. 1t was
the largest gathering since the club has

The boxing was the kind that pleases
the fans. In the opening bout of eight
rounds Belfield Walcott and Hayward
Briggs put up fast exhibition, and
there was little to choose between them
at the finish.
In the next bout Jerry Gaines made
Bedo McGrath take to the mat in the
first round. In the main event George
Murray of Lynn outclassed Frank
Adams of Newton and stopped him in
The sixth round.
Kid Goodman and Jimmy Briggs will
probably be the feature bout at the
