BOXERS READY TO
SETTLE ARGUMENT
Webster and White Fit for Fray
and Each Is Confident of
Winning Thursday

All hard work in the respective
training camps of Danny Webster ana
Charlie White will come to an end TINS
afternoon, when the featherweights
who have labored hard for the past
two weeks to fit themselves for Thurs
days engagement viii have completed
their arduous task. Each announces
himself as fit and ready, and no eX-
cuses because of lack Of condition VIII
be entertained after the battle is over
White completed the real strenuous
part of his preliminary program yes
terday, when he boxed hard' 1asC
rounds with Hobo Dougherty FRANKIE
Sullivan and other attaches of the
camp. The Chicago feather tipped the
beam at 122 pounGs, and when ne
knocked off for the day declared he
was fine and fancy. Light gymnasium
work and q little jaunt on the ROAD
to keep him from getting stiff viii be
about all that the visitor viii do, ana
apparently he will go into the ring IN
grand shape
The local lad win not be a whit be
hind him in this respect Webster has
trained as he never trained before,
and in every move has made his sup
porters that much more confident he
will bring home the bacon. The food
magnate is fighting at weight which
fits him to a fare thee well, and his
display cf strength and aggressiveness
will doubtless be a surprise to those
who calculate Danny has shot his
bolt
Webster will also wind up his work
today, and then will take 1t easy until
he steps into the ring. Danny has bet
little chunk on himself and it goes
without saying he will try his best.
White has been made faVorite at odds
of ten to eight and ten to nine, and
at those figures there is plenty of
action.
BAT STILL TALKING
Battered Nelson is still busy with his
Blck, and the one-time champion has
bullied a lot of them into thinking he
will be a winner when his bout next
Saturday with Owen Moran is over.
Bat yesterday wired Tommy Ryan
from San Francisco, asking the for
mer middleweight to come on to San
Francisco and be in his corner when
he faces the Englishman. Ryan i'm
mediately wired back refusal, giving
as his excuse that he has a fight on
before his own club in Syracuse Mon
day.
The Nelson Moran bout is giving the
Frisco fans plenty of food for thought.
Betting on the affair has been brisk
from the start and even money has
been the prevailing figure. At this
price Moran's friends have been eat
ing it up, for they, like the majority
of fans, figure the battler has seen
his best day. The go with England's
favorite son viii probably see the last
of him as a top-notcher.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
Nelson has been a real fighter, and
the public will be sorry to see him
go. Always on the level. Nelson fought
his way in and out of reyerses, and
every time he won it was on merit
alone. But the hour comes for all of
them, and Bat is about the only per-
son who cannot see his own finish and
retire before he is finally subjected to
the humiliation Of taking the ten-sec-
ond count-something he has never
experienced in a long career.
AUSTIN AGAIN ON DECK
Little Jimmy Austin, the best boy
of his weight in this part of the coun-
try, is back on deck and making a loud
and convincing clamor for an opponent.
Jimmy has been on the dry dock since
last June, when he was shaded by
Eddie Campi before one Of the Frisco
clubs
Austin's weight has kept him from
taking his proper place among the
ringsters-a Jockeys job would have
suited him better. The local lad can
do 105 pounds without having to take
off an ounce of extra meat, and as
boys in his division are scarce he has
a hard time making matches. AS a
rule he has let the other fellow come
in with quite a bit the better of the
poundage, and as a result had to show
all kinds of class to hold his own
Tom McCarey willing, Austin hopes
to get on with Eddie Campi some
time in the near future. The northern
hyweight is the only boy of his inches
. ever able to give Jimmy a convincing
argument, and Austin is not satisfied
he is not the better man IF the af-
fair is arranged it will be offered on
one of the early December cards, and
on signing articles Austin will imme-
diately proceed with his training and
prepare to put in busy season.
