ILLNESS OF FRAYNE
MAY PREVENT FIGHT
Attacked by Rheumatism and
Match With Powell in Doubt

There is a cloud of grave doubt hang
ing about the scheduled Johnny Frayne-
Lew Powell fight. Frayne is being
troubled with rheumatism, which may
prevent him from getting in shape for
the battle, which Promoter Lercari of
the Pacific club announced for Octo-
ber s.
Frayne has been ailing for a. couple
of days, and the attack got so bad yes
terday that Heine Rafael, who is look
ing after Frayne's interest, notified Ler-
carl that he feared that his charge
would not be able to fill his engage
ment with Powell next month.
Lercari had guaranteed a $4,000 purse
and he went up in the air when he
heard the news.
1t was thought that Frayne did not
relish any of .Powell's game in a 20
round battle, and that he declared he
was sick a stall to evade the meeting.
This belief was set aside when DR..
Charles Jones was called in to examine
the boxer and he declared that Frayne
was suffering from an attack of rheu
matism in the right thigh, but said he
believed the attack was not serious
enough to prevent him from filling his
engagement.
Last night Powell, Lercari and Ra-
fael met at the Hague and it was
agreed that $500 should be put up by
each boxer, to be forfeited in the event
that DIR. Jones reported In the next few
days that Frayne was able to train,
and either fighter did not I'LL his con-
tract.
Lercari agreed that if Frayne was not
able to train for a few days the date of
the fight would be changed from Octo-
ber TO October s. And in the event
that further postponement was neces-
sary he would stage IT on the night of
October To-
If Frayne is attacked with the usual
spells of rheumatism which he is sub
ject to. Lercari may as well look for
another card for his October date. 1t
will be remembered while in the east
Frayne was unable to fight for many
weeks. owing 10 an attack of rheu-
matisnl.
Frayne is located at Millett's train
ing resort and Powell is also there.
The dispute as to who shall take pos
session of the place is still undecided
and ii may be that both fighters will
40 their training there.
