Hogan to Meet Moore.
ne-Round Hogan. knocked out by
wolgast in two rounds last spring. and
| more recent sparring partner OF the
champion. is back in New York look
ing for work and has been matched
with Pal Moore, / believe. Hogan has
been asked for his opinion Of the
merits of the two young gladiators.
and having worked with the champion
for several months his views ought to
carry some weight. Hogan says Ad
is confident of defeating Packey and
thinks he undertakes the Chicagoan.
He told the champion as much but
Adolph. with that large chunk Of con-
fdence. or conceit, that is part of his
makeup. gave him the "ha-ha." While
not attempting to pick winner for
toward McFarland's chanches as most
persons must who have seen that
young man working at his trade.
1t Is plain that Mcfarland is not worry
managers of the Fairmount Athletic
Club of this city that he will come on
here to box Mat Wells Immediately fol-
lowing the Milwaukee affair. AS such
bout is contingent upon the result of his
fuss with the champion, Mcfarland must
feel confident Of success in that engage
ment.
Big Al Kaufman may give up the
proposed Australian trip and come to
New York to perform under the F'raw-
r0f,
match with Jim Flynn but the latter
raps to no one but Carl Morris. Flynn
sees rich pickings in that match If ever
pulled of, win or lose, and may also en-
the night he turned the trick on the Cali
fornian. At all events, he says no to
the big fellows supplications.
Mcintosh to Lose Kaufman.
Hugh Mcintosh will lose one Of his best
cards through Albert's detection. His
advance billing has touted Kaufman as
the greatest white heavyweight" in
captivity. and he will be forced to in
sert Langs or Testers name in the press
notices should the native son go back on
his promise to take the trip. Tom o.
Rourke upon learning that AL was in the
market Immediately offered him a job
with his man Palzer, who seems willing
to meet all comers. Acceptance not yet
filed
Another man New York promoters are
dickering with is Carl Morris, and Harry
Pollock and his associates are said to
have his agreement to box Flynn before
their club should they succeed In securing
permit to conduct boxing matches in
Madison Square Garden. Foolish. those
Oklahomans, 1 don't think. None Of the
regular sized affairs in the shape of
arenas will hold enough money to suit
their ideas of what is coming to them.
m nd ma
ris live up to his much touted promise is
the worst luck I wish him.
San Francisco friends write me that
Jim Coffroth, the bear-cat promoter, has
run up against snag In political way
out in the coast city and that his days
are ended as a director of pugilistic en-
tertainment. 1 do not believe Coffroth
will give up.without a hard fight, II then
-he is not that sort. and the powers that
be out that way are never so sure of
holding their jobs long enough to keep q
man like the red-headed promoter on the
ground.
Wants Attell on Coast.
Tom McCarey wants Abe Attell to go to
Los Angeles and box his latest discovery,
Joe Rivers, the boy who cleaned 'em all
up in Macs tournament. He telegraphed
Abe asking terms. and the champion
wired back. 10000 Gracious me! Even
the little fellows have big ideas these
days of prize ring affiuence. But then
Abe is champion and well worthy of all
he can pull down..
Attelrs arm is In good shape once more.
he says. and the champion feather Is
ready to box any one in his division. In
fact: he Is willing to go out of his class
for some Of the hghtweights who are
posing as world beaters, among them
Knockout Brown. This match may be
announced any day. Another prospect for
Abe Is Jem pr1scoll, who is booked for
trip to this country.
] would like to see this latest feather
weight marvel, Rivers, perform. Mayhap
some of the local promoters will be ION
the job and we might have the pleasure
of taking a slant at the youngster before
the snow flies. / know they are not going
to get little Able In Los Angeles when the
game looks promising here, unless they
come through with a large chunk Of
lucre. If Rivers will come. here and make
a good showing with some local boy all he
needs to do is to ask for match with
Attell, and it's hiSn.
