The Maiden Physical Culture Club
will have its regular meetings, Fri

Graney and Coffroth Of San Francisco
is threatened, on July 4.

weight, who has made such good
record in Los Angeles, is out with a
challenge to Wolgast TO box for the
lightweight title.
The Chicago promoters are planning
to bring together in matches the top
notch talent in the game. Another
meeting between Eddie Murphy ana
Packey Mcfarland is one match they
would put on right away.
Matt Wells champion lightweight ot
England who left New York in Novem-
Der last, after fighting several good men,
returned, Wednesday, on the steamship
Olympic. He said he was prepared TO
meet any man of his class, but preferred
a match with Ad Wolgast.
At what may be the last boxing match
in Marblehead for at least year, Kid
Lee of Chelsea and Tommy Flanagan OF
Cambridge boxed eight fast rounds to
a draw, Wednesday night. before the
Marblehead A. A. in Hibernian hall.
Bill McKinnon writes that he will
probably stay in New York for some
time to come, now that he has been
promised matches with some of the
high-elass middleweights. MeKinnon,
while at New York, is under the man
agement of Johnny Mack, which in
sures the Roxbury boxer being kept
busy.

knowing whether he will ever be able
to use them again, Battling Nelson
still insists on another meeting with

as Nelson is said to carry now would
think of entering ring and imagine
that he had a chance of regaining lost
laurels.
