that he has cabled IN offer TO bet $lU.-

Fred Burnham, helmsman and part

that he Is groggy yet. Neither he nor

Wells a Good Spo rfsnGn.

Wells showed no disposition TO with

Brown was not a full-ncdgcd light

at 12 pounds. Ills statement 10 The
Evening World after the hgat with
Brown was remarkably unique In the
annals Of he prize ring. Evidently
Wells does not care to accept extra
credit for beating a man who appears,
and naturally Is. lighter than himself.
But when a boxer throws cold water on
nm achievement OF his own, and le-
clares that his opponent was splendid
In every way but lacked the natural
required weight OF the class In which
they met, then II Is time for followers
OF the game to sit up and n notice.
Wellss sportsmansh!p will win him 9.

ever fought in an American ring.
AS tho talk waned Mum Morgan

marked that Brown was anxious 10
