Champion Sure to Demand
Better Terms to Meet Moran
Than Those Mentioned.
BY JOHN

A LTHOUGH Hugh Mcintosh has
n ca,b.ed over an offer of a N5.OOO
. purse for Ad wolgast n owen
Moran to battle for In a twcnty-round
bout for the lightweight championship
title in London In six weeks. II Is almost
certain that wolgast and his
Tom Jones, will decline 1t. Wolgast has
already declared that he would not fight
Moran under twenty-five rounds, and as
he also wants a guarantee of $l..5O Tor
his end, win or lose, II Is very doubtful
whether Charley Harvey. or
Moran. would be willing to allow him
mat sum. Then, again, wolgast would
not want to go to London and fight
Moran. as he would soone rave the
fight in this country. Harvey has al
ready accepted the offer for Moran.
Harry Lewis, the American welter-
weight, who has already won one fight
in Paris, having Knocked out Jeff Thorne
in one round, has two more matches
arranged. His first will be with Blink
McCloskey. the Philadelphia fighter. for
fifteen rounds at the Wagrom Club OF
Paris on Dec. 81. and his second with
Bandsman Rice. an English middle.

Jan. .. Lewis ought to stop both men
without any trouble.
In Boston tonight there will be a bout
between heavyweights which shout be
a corker while 1t lasts. Jack Twin
sullivan and Perky Flynn will be the
principals and they will come together
in a twelve-round battle.
Packey Mcfarland Is another n OF
our pugilistic stars who has received
a fattering offer from Hugh Mcintosh
to fight at the latter's new fight club

to give Packey a guarantee Of 5000 and
his expenses for two battles, but as
Mcfarland demands 5000 It Is hardly
possible that Mcintosh will give him
this amount.
