The success of other English fight CTS in this country iu the past r months has stirred up old Eng lands boxing fraternity as f never Was stirred before Every boxer ot auy aeeoun. Is showing remarkable signs f life. and all are coming tu with eyes turned to the United States.
 Jim Corhett. former heavyweight champion thinks that Owen Moran tle English lightweight. has il on Champion Ad Wolgast any way you size up he pair. Corhett has seen both boys in action. and he is of tha opinion that Moran can stand just d. much punishment as Vol gaS' + m rc clever with his pins and best of all has a punch that has Ads Lest walIop backed of the boards.
 NEW YORK, Jan S Battling Nelson. former lightweight cham piOn cf the world arrived here last week fer tha first time since Owen Moran of England knocked him out lu II rounds in Frisco last Noyem At.l Nf|4~. II M .i~ bhbtllIS tN'i VII II pusilistic comment.
 Moran k great little fighter, said he and he beat me fairly enough believe had the better of the fight up 10 the time that he landed that fatal right hand swing on my jaw. That was the heaviest blow l ever received and it knocked me head over heels. It didn't put me out. but l never fully recovered from il and was counted oat before l realized that the Ii seconds had elapsed. was just about ready to get up when the referee said the fight was over but don't know whether l could have made winning count or not after the count.
 Moran fs entitled to match Eith Wolgast and should receive th. support of the American public, He is not braggart and isn't of, iensiyc i'll his challenge. He be Hc.ts he can whip Wolgast, and t.e latter after year of fOurllush ing ought to g'ye him a chance. I'd like 10 m e, Wolgast myself, for believe he was dead lucky to whip me. He can't hit hard enough to knock boy down. and is just a good. clever boxer. In my opinion Moran has him beaten in science and is much heavier puncher. N lgasf doesn't want to take a chance with his title and if he consents 10 meet Moran it will be entirely due 10 public opinion.
 Anton Iaeraye. who boxed a if tcen.round draw with me on the coast last fall is really welterweight. He cutWeighcd me by 10 pounds. He is pretty clever. though. and has a great teacher in Sam Fitzpatrick. One Round Hogan is a go7d second rater. nothing more He didn't beat much ill Johnny Frayne."
 Nelson may receive several of fers to box at the local clubs while in the East. He has never been seen with the gloves on in con test ill this city and if he should consent to meet Packey Mcfarland for instance there would be plenty of fun.
