nERCY WOODRUFF, Kid Wilson'S
manager, sent word to the writer
through "kinky' Turner today
that his man was ready for Billy
Leary first and then Joe Stein, Christy
Williams, Charley Lawrence and Ben
Douglass. In fact, Percy said he was on
the job for any weltcr-weight who
wanted TO talk business. Wilson. Tur.
ner and Woodruff arrived home from
Europe Sunday. They had but one
fight while away. Tn that they bes a
w~elter-welght championship contender.
The form Wilson showed in this fight
Turner said leads him and Woodruff
TO believe he can beat any welter In
the land. The trio is going after some
of the money they spent in England
getting one fight for a price that would
put Bill Brown to shame. From present
indications Wilson will fight some.
Johnny Dunn called up from Brook
Ign today to explain his position in the
wrestling frost held at the Colosseum
asst night. Dunn says that he did not
know of Zbyszko's injury until $50
o'clock last night, and that his manager
then said he would ALLOW his man to
Nrestle the three bouts. After dispos-

found that his injury was too painful
10 follow out the remainder of the pro-
gram, according to Dunn. BE that as
It may, the proper thing would have
been to refund the money. The ma
5ority of those present will insist to the
end of their days that it was a fake.
II their money had been offered back
to them no real sport would have &C
cepted, and the management would
have lost little anyhow. 1t puts wres-
thing tn bad in Newark for a long time.
The gane has had too many black eyes
Of a similar nature.
Washington newspapers from which
the story that Wade kilifer would
come here originated now say that he
will be shipped to Minneapolis. The
next place we expect to hear of as
having secured Killifer will probably
be Honolulu or Hegeswich or some
thing like that.
Applications or positions In the OPEN
Ing day parade of the Newark Club
were received from two clubs today.
The Elmwoods and the Iroquois teams
of the Branch Brook League have sent

cation of the Elmwoods was neatly

1t appears that the Columbus Club

Americans. The st. Louis Gu then
disposed OF Rube to Minneapolis. The
