WINNER OF BOUT
FeatherWeight Champion Will Be
Offered Match Here Late
in This Month
MORAN AND CONLEY WILLING
Abraham in Frisco Is Out of the
Fighting Since DrSColl Scrap
Was Called Off

1t is entirely probable that the win
ner of the frankie COnley~Owe Moran
scrap tomorrow night will be matched
with Abe Attell for Il twenty -fiVe-round
scrap here late this .nonth. Moran
already has issued challenge to Attell,
at the direction of Manager Charlie
Harvey, and Conley admits that he Is
hankering after the featherweight
championship. Attcll is in Frisco out
of a fighting job since the Driscoll
match was cancelled and undoubtedly
would entertain a proposition to take
on either of these boys here. McCarey
is more than willing, so it looks good
all around.
Conley still finds it easy to make
the bantam limit, but he realizes that
he is growing heavier and in a short
time will find the bantam suit too tight
fitting, so he would not mind picking

weights than at the bantam limit, so
the feather division would fit him very
nicely and in twenty FIVE session
scramble with Attell he would be at
his best weight and form. Moran has
fought Attell to two draws and still

earnest all the way. Moran strips like

in at 1913 pounds, one pound below the

Conley had Jeff O'Connell, Kid Cleve-

as his sparring partners and enter
tanned another park full of fans with
his afternoon stunts. He boxed twelve
rounds as the windup and appeared to
be ready to step into the ring at a
moments notice. He will not weigh
more than 120 pounds the night of the
fight, as ne has paid no attention TO
weight-making, saying that he prefers
condition to weight, and has sought
only to put himself into condition to
give and take a lot of punishment.
This does not look like so much a
one sided fight as appears at first fis-
uring. Moran has been more famous
for his cleverness and speed than for
a punch, as his two scraps with Attell
proved, the Britisher not being able to

Conley assuredly is a Furnishing fighter
and one who makes q speciality or
knockouts, as a glance over his record
will show. At even weights, Conley
would figure at least as even choice
with Moran. and the extra weight that
Moran will have is responsible for the
odds of faVoritism laid on his chances.
CAMERON AFTER FLYNN
Jim Gaines, manager of Jim Cam

has agreed to give the dinge tryout
battle if the financial end of the scrap
can be settled satisfactorily. Jim is
the old reliable war horse who has
been sent out to tryout all the aspir-
ing heavies in these diggings for the
last three years and if Cameron wants
a real tryout, Flynn is the boy to
make him show what is in him.
Undoubtedly, Cameron is entitled to
chance to make good if it is in him
to do so. Any fighter with a record
of eleven victories in twelve fights is
entitled to some consideration for his
claims and until some scrapper comes
along and trims him, the coon is en-
titled to a chance to go on up the lad
der. Let him climb as high as he can
and until somebody can get to him
and knock him off the rungs. Cam
eron is a vastly improved fighter as
compared with the same Cameron of
year ago, now being rated as cleV-
er boxer instead of an awkward joke,
as was the case in his first half dozen
battles. In the event that Sandy Fer
guson is unable to get in condition for
the scrap June IA with Barry, the
FLYNN Cameron substitute would not
be one bit bad
SOME CLASS TO PRELIMS
In the brilliancy surrounding the
main event for tomorrow night, made
so by the fact that a world champion
is to go out of his class and fight q
British champion, the fans are apt to
overlook the fact that there is some
class involved in the preliminary card.
also. Jeff O'Connel, who is matched
with Young Jeffries for a siX-round
tryout for each, is a classy little Brit
isher who has been whipping top
notchers all his life He has fought
Ad Wolgast four times, getting one
draw and losing the decision in the
other bouts that went the limit. He
also has whipped some of the best lit
tie fellaws in the east and at Frisco.
Young Jeffries also is new one to
local rams, DuI ne COHl6S OUT VI lIt
east with fine record and will sur
prise the fans when he gets going to-
morrow night.
Young Rivers, who will meet Mar
tin Leahy in the ten-round semi wind
up, is being touted as a featherweight
championship possibility and is win
ming lots of compliments from fighters
like Kid Solomon, Morrie Bloom and
others who have worked with him and
seen him in training. Leahy is tough
customer, too, having knocked out his
last opponent in jig time and being
now in his best fighting form. This
will be a dandy slugging bee all the
way, with one of them almost sure to
take the count.
Kid Rees is another conner who is
fast gaining favor with the fans be-
cause Of his business like way of con-
Quoting himself i'm the ring. He has
trimmed a lot of them lately and is
fresh from four-round knockout
victory over Jimmy Davis at San
Pedro last Friday night. He took
Rube Pattersons place in the match
with Paul Sikora and they will travel
the six-round route.
