Charlie Harvey Is Expected to Pull OF

Johnny Summers, the famous pair of
English boxers, has accepted the offer
of Manager Al Herford, of the Eureka
Athletic club, of a purse of IS, 900 for
a match in this city between Moran
and Abe Attell, of San Francisco.
Harvey called up Herford over the
long distance telephone and stated
that If HEREFORD would put up that
much money he would sign articles at
once in Behalf of Moran If AtteI was
satisfied.
When Harvey advised the local box
ing promoter that he was willing to
let Moran fight for that amount, Her
ford lost no time in getting in touch
with Attell AttelI is now in CaIifor-
MIA, where he recently boxed Battling
Nelson Is hard rounds to a draw. Her
ford does not think that he will have
any trouble in getting Atteil; into line,
as Atte1l has been decidedly anxious
to get another mill with Moran, whom
he boxed rs fast rounds to a draw not
long ago
The bout was to have been for the
worlds featherweight title, but as a
draw was awarded, Moran still retains
the title as the champion of England
and Attell as the champion of Amer
leans.

The Chicago Boy Is Opened at 8 to 10

Farland has been made favorite in the
first official betting on his go with
Britt next Saturday. Tom Corbett hung
up to 10 against the Chicago man
and even money against Britt, and the
same prices were laid in the pool rooms
near Colma.
It is believed that these odds will
fiuctuate somewhat. as the percentage
in favor of the books is usually much
greater on the coast It is chiefly the
fact that conditions are regarded as
greatly favoring Mcfarland that he
has been made the choice, as Britt is
said to be in good trim.
Mcfarland has been working dill
gently with Pat Keneally and there will
be no question as to his making the
weight. Britt. on the other hand. is
said to be still above the figure. The
Is round route is taken as favoring
Mcfarland, because it is thought that
