Good This Time
Especial Dispatch to The Call

NEW YORK, May 12.-Willis Britt
today received a telegram from Tom
McCarey of Los Angeles, reiterating
his offer of $4,000 for match be-
tween Stanley Ketchel and Langford.l
Britt replied that he was satisfied with
the offer. Britt's acceptance, OF the
proposal would have cinched the match,
but McCarey had to take into consider
alton his previous agreement to give
Joe Woodman, manager OF Langford,
$4,000 for his end.
McCarey wired Britt today that he
would accede to Woodman's demand.
Britt, in his dispatch. limited that ne
gotiations should be closed at once. for
he had many offers for a Ketchel
match, and he would not wait much
longer for a definite settlement'of the
Los Angeles proposition, as San Fran
cisco promoters wefe offering a lucra-
tive percentage.
II gave McCarey my promise of a
Ketchel-Langford match and will stick
TO 1t, provided the Los Angeles pro-
moter comes through with his $4,000
proposition, otherwise the match will
go to the highest bidder said Britt
today.
