CoFFEY WANTS MORAN.
Dublin Giant Etching" for Another
Chance at His Conqueror.


New York, Dec 3-Frank Moran
can add $4,000 to his bank roll if he
will fight Jim Coffey a return battle
of ten rounds. Frank Moran demands
S12.500 with the privilege of 40 per
cent for fighting Coffey. And there
you are.
Billy Gibson, the manager of Cof-
fey, was the first to fire a gun splut-
tering real money. To this big in
ducement Ike Dorgan, who is leading
man for Mr.. Moran, turned one of his
shell-like earS-ethe deaf One-and
paid not the slightest attention. Glib
son being a persistent gent, gradual
ly explained what he was offering and
then Dorgan came back with his
views.
There's no lodging the fact that
this scrap would be the real thriller
of the season. Coffey is back into the
limelight following the right hand
poke he slipped Gunboat Smith the
other evening. Right off the bat
came the howl for another scrap be-
tween Moran and Coffey.
The fact that Moran is agreeable
to answer battle with Coffey indicates
that another battle will be staged.
When two managers throw out feel
ers as to how much dough they'll
grab, nothing, will ever stop the con-
templated fight from becoming a real

Dorgan received another wire from
the New Orleans promoters, asking
for his best and lowest terms for
Moran to fight Fred Fulton. Ike an
swered that nothing has caused him
to change his request for $500 with
the privilege of 40 per cent.
This 40 per cent stuff appears to
be an obsession of Mr. Dorgan's
