Battler has really called on the Me-
Fsriand match and decided TO fight
cyclone Johnny Thompson on the holi-
day instead. But the Dane is credited
also with saying that he viii give Nc
Fariand a chance 70 go on Admission
day II he feels inclined that way. The
dispatch also adds that Nelson Will be
more severe with Psckey in the matter
of weights.
According 10 the wires. Nelson has
become sore at the remarks which Nc
Farlsnd and Gilmore Nave recently
been passing and determined TO make
an example Of them. He IS said TO
have charged Gilmore with crushing
in too frequently. and McFarla nd with
having too much TO say. At all events
so the kilograms read, the champion
was very much ruff1ed young man.
But throughout IL all Coffroth re-
1ains his smiling composure and fears

huge mistake somewhere, and he says
that Nelson viii live UP TO his original

Conroth exhibited the telegram which

Rochester. New York. and read: viii

case appear all the stronger. In fact.
Cohroth felt so sure that his match
was still good that he did not even

More than that. they We're willing to

No. it did not even stop there. The
hot Goldfield sports say they have
$4,000 collected, and are willing TO
collect even more than $4,000 if Jeff
and Jack say the word. This is a
grand chance for the big fellows. Why
don't they ask for 100000 just to see
how Tar the Goldfield people will goH
Surely $4,000 is not enough after those
100000 beauties and those trifling
100000 offers which are piling up.
This will give the big bruisers an
other chance to bark a bit more. It's
too ba6 that such a thing should have
happened at this particular stage Of
the game. We all thought that we
were due for a rest from the monsters
Of the ring, but here is another chance
for them to start again.
The betting on the Murphy Hudson
fight, which will be decided tomorrow
night at Dreamland, is still at even
money, though the chances are that
Murphy will enter the ring al least
a 10 to 8 choice over the northern
slugger. Murphy is over the effects
of the cold which he contracted, and

Hudson is going to make an awful
stab TO jump into the limelight. He
has a splendid chance TO do so by beat
ing Murphy. and if he is as tough a
fellow as his admirers claim he will
put up a hurricae fight with the local
lightweight. The other 15 round go
between Montana Jack sullivan and
Al Neil is attracting much attention
