BOXING NOTES.

Arrangements were made, Monday,
for a match between Joe Jeanette and
George Christian, the Columbus heavy
weight, for Nov. q, at Columbus, Q.
Eddie Murphy is trying with all
his might to induce Jack Britton to
give him a return meeting. The Chi
cago boxer can see no one but Packey
Mcfarland, but his chances for a
match with the Chicago boxer are nil.
Pal Moore will replace Jack Brit
ton against Jack White at the Ke-
nosha Club, at a date to be deter
mined later. Britton, who claims to
be a lightweight, refused to meet
White at anywhere near the leight-
weight figures.
The New York promoters are con-
sidering using Matty Baldwin in place
of Battling Nelson for the Thanksgiv-
ing day match with Leach Cross at
New York. That Cincinnati decision
appears to have caught on in Nelson's
case. The Battler, however, maintains
that he is still there, but not like the
days of old.
The defeat of Jim Barry, the Chi
oago heavyweight. by Sailor White at
New York, last Saturday night, when
the latter knocked out the big west
erner in three rounds, removed anoth-
er possible contender for future
heavyweight honors Barry has been
on decline for the past year, grad
ually working from bad to worse. His
exhibition in Boston against Danny
Flynn was almost wretched but few
understood the Chicago boxers condi-
ton at the time. Barry has been box
ing on his nerve for some time and it
was predicted few months ago that
it would be only question of a few
weeks when he would fall a victim to
some fifth rater.
