PACKEY AND DANE CLOSE To A

Cyclone Johnny Thompson to Get Match if Mcfarland

James Coffroth, the San Francisco
fight promoter. spent a few hours in
Chicago yesterday and did more in the
matchmaking line In that time than
Mcintosh and al lof the other boxing
impresarios have done since the Burns
Johnson fight at Sydney Coffroth
matched Hugo Kelly and Billy Papke
for May date before his club. got
Nelson and Johnny Thompson to agree
on terms for a prospective battle and

Satisfied with his few hours work. the
dean of fight promoters started for the
east, where he will try and induce
Johnson and Jeffries to sign articles for
fight. Failing in this he will endeav-
or to match Johnson with Ketchel or
Kaufman.
When Conroth hoped on Pennsyl
vania flyer for the east. after a hurry
up automobile dash across the city. a
battle between Mcfarland and Nelson
for the lightweight championship of
the world, to be decided at CoIma July
4, seemed practically assured.
Only Hitch Is on Weight.
Nelson and Harry Gilmore Jr. man
ager of Mcfarland, after a short con-
ference with Coffroth, agreed upon the
financial terms for the proposed go, and
the only hitch left in the arrange
ments is on the weight question.
Nelson for long time insisted upon
1913 pounds at the ringside, declaring
emphatically that he would not battle
under any other conditions. Gilmore
was just as obdurate. insisting upon
the lightweight limit being four hours
before ring time.
Nelson agreed to split the difference
after long wrangle with Gilmore
that is, make the weight 1913 pounds
two hours before the fight. Gilmore,
however. refused to agree to such an

| arrangement, declaring that Mcfarland
could not do himself justice unless al
lowed four hours to gain strength aft
or weighing at 1913. Gilmore stated
that Willus Britt, the champions man
ager had promised him a match at 1913
four hours before the fight and that
he would insist on this being the notch
for the go.
CofRrOth to See Britt.
Coffroth viii see Britt in PhiIadeI-
phia today and probably will be able
to win Willus over to Gilmore's way of
thinking. Nelson stated last night that
he would abide by any arrangements
that Britt made, so the prospects for the
clinching of the biggest lightweight
match since the Gans-Nelson affair at
Goldfield appear rosy.
Nelson has promised to fight Thonp
son, provided he falls to reach an agree
ment with Mcfarland. and Larney
Litchenstein, manager of the Sycamore
cyclone, declares he can get $4,000
backing for his man for the 20. If
this match is arranged it probably will
be the longest limited round contest
ever staged. as both Thompson and Nell
son have agreed to sign to fight ninety
rounds, in order that one man is sure
TO be the winner by the knockout route.
The long route planned simply shows
how much respect Thompson and the
Dane have for each others durability.
Such fight surely will have a right
to be styled "a boxing contest over the
Marathon route"
Ferrettf Signs for Kelly.
Silvie Ferretti, manager of Hugo KEEL
ly. met Coffroth on his arrival and sign
ed an agreement for a battle between
the local Italian and Papke, with the
understanding that Kelly was to get
first chance at Ketchel and the middle
weight championship in case OF a vic
tory over the Kewaneeite. Coffroth
stated that he would stage the fight
some time in MAY.
