Melbourne Inman. the English bill
Hard champion. who has been playing
a series of exhibition matches in
Canada, will reach New York soon
and confer with Willie Hoppe regard
ing an international match or series
OF matches. The champions of their
respective countries so far have been
firing at long range with little eff
feet and an hour of conversation
probably will do more than two
weeks of transcontinental challeng
ing.
Although there is big difference
between the English game and the
carom game played In the United
States, a meeting between the premier
cue wieIders of their respective coun-
tries would attract widespread atten-
ton. Hopes proposition for games
at each style appears the most feas-
ible plan for a match. and while it
IS probable that each champion would
win at his own particular game. 1T
would be interesting to ascertain
which of them made the better show

IS the meeting of Alfredo de Orc of

IS To
I AXE D n
MURPHY

The prospects of a match for the
lightweight championship between
Willie Richie, the title holder, and
Harlem Tommy Murphy took a bright
turn last night, when the champion
wired Promoter Jim Coffroth that he
would accept his terms
With the exception of the weight
question. every other offer Coffroth
made was agreeable to Richie He
wired that he would like the weight
to be 1875 pounds an hour before the
battle. Coffroth wired Richie to
straighten out this matter with Jim
Buckley. Murphy's manager. who is
in New York.
1t is not felt that Ritchies demand
for leeway of two pounds will stop
Murphy, who is an easy fellow to do
business with when 1t comes to sign
ing articles. With this detail the only
one to- be settled, the fans are in a
fair way to see the best lightweight
card in the deck being staged.
In fact, Coffroth was in high spirits
when he received Ritchie's message,
and he feels that the boxers will be
able to straighten out the weight
question before they depart for the
coast.
Coffroth plans to stage the battle
at night. He will put it on at the
Eighth street arena during the early
part of December. about the 7th or
Sth.
According to the information given
out, Richie is to get $4,000 for his
services This match has been one of
the most attractive pugilistic attrac-
tions of the year. and promoters from
various parts of the country have
been angling for it. Coffroth has
made numerous overtures to Richie
to box Murphy, but the local lad has
always turned them down for some
other boxer.
The match hinges on the outcome
Of Ritchie's bout with Leach Cross.
which is scheduled to take place in
New York next week. If Cross should
do the unexpected, Richie would be
overlooked
In the east Richie is a favorfte
over Cross and the fans expect him
to get away with the lighting dentist.

There is nothing in the record of
the Harvard and Princeton teams to

Harvard. 1t is the way the Harvard

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Referee jon
and Manager Gibson of the Garden
City Athletic club called on Willie
Richie and Leach Cross at their
training quarters to make clear the
rules of the boxing commission.
There will be no delay in the ring
Monday night. therefore. as the prin-
cipals have been instructed how they
must box. Cross took light boxing
exercise yesterday. He said he would
not run any chances of growing stale
and that he did not require any more
strenuous work to remain fit. Sew
eral of his camp followers went up to
see Richie in westchester on Thurs
dav. and they came back with story
that the champion was having hard
time reducing to the required 135
pounds.
Both men have posted forfeits for
weight. If Richie is an ounce over
weight Cross will claim his money.
But there is not a doubt Richie will
make the weight. for when he got on
the scales today the beam tipped at
134A pounds.
Don't forget that / can do 1873

Richie with laugh. but / can get

and hit some terrific blows in bout
with Bob McAllister, the California
middle weight He will end his hard
work today.
