The game opened with the Indies
pressing. and this state OF affairs was

a fair way and promised to do what he

But Joe was unwilling. In long
telegram which he sent Selig last even

how the change was rolling right into
his Golfers at present, and that to leave
now would be just like handing over

and he sent me another in which he
absolutely declined to come TO the
coast He is Just beginning to share
the profits of his Baltimore resort now.
and therefore 1 would not advise him
to leave such good. paying business
AT that, firmly believe that Joe can
beat Mcfarland In fact. he can beat
Ting Nelson. The Dane has 1t on Cans
and there IS no use for any of US to
dispute this. 1 think that Joe would
willingly take on Mcfarland PROVIDED
the match would not compel him to de-
sert his business for any length OF
time.
MCFARLAND AND NELSON
"As far as I am concerned L do not
care about seeing Joe IN a STucliHS
fight again. announced after his
last fight that I would never try to
induce him to re-enter the ring. How
ever. in case like this, | am willing
to help Joe all / can, If I saw that 1t
would be of benefit to- him, and a
match with Mcfarland would be nne
for the ex-champion."
It is estimated that Coffroth had
hopes of matching the winner or his
faded encounter with Nelson, but II he
ever tried to get away with this he
doubtless would encounter trouble In
the event of Cans winning Nelson
and Cans probably will never meet
again in any sort of bout. They prac-
tically agreed to this the last time
the champion crushed Joe.
Cans positively announced that he
would never again consent TO meetlne
with the only man who ever had him
at his mercy completely. Nelson also
made q statement that he was through
with Cans. Why should he fight Joe
again? He has money enough and all
the glory he needs, and to beat the old
black boy again would not pile any
more halo about his head.
The real sufferer is PacEey. Now he
must hustle lively once more and make
an attempt to show some of the class
which the champion insists upon be-
fore he will consent to entertain him
in the ring. Good lightweights are few
in these stirring days of commercialism
and unless Packey does something soon
the champion may resign from the ring
before giving him the chance which he
declares he wants more than anything
else.
