| The 15-round bout between Kid

day night at the Beaver A. c., Troy,
n. Y, was not very exciting en-
counter Johnson had whatever adj

outpointed Henry, but there were six

round semi final.

the benefit for Young Corbett Monda,
night at the Paramount A. c., New

fund, but all were on the job, and each
cheerfully did his best. The entertain
ment ended with Terry McGovern
Young Corbett. Martin Flaherty, Sam
my smith, Leach Cross and Charley
White in the ring. Corbett boxed a
round each with Cross, Smith and

Whether or not Gunner Moir. the
English ex-heavyweight champion, ac-
cepts the challenge of George Gunther
the Austro- American, to box a 30
round bout for a wager of $1,000 a side
and the best purse, will depend very
largely upon whether p. o. Curran
VINO is now recognized as the heavy
Welght champion, accepts Gunner
Molrs challenge for a meeting. Moir
returned recently from a trip to Aus
tralia, where he showed with George
| Hackenschmidt, and upon his return
issued challenge to meet any of the
English heavies. Gunther, through his
manager, quickly bit at the proposition,
but Mor says he wishes to give Curran
ample opportunity of replying before
committing himself to a match with
Gunther or anyone else
