duce their stock which they did at a
great sacrifice. About four weeks

stay of the family was stricken with
infantile paralysis and has been con-
fined to his bed since. Although his
condition seems more favorable the
house is still under quarantine. On
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of

OFFERS $4,000 FOR
BIG BOX|NGFEST
Harry Edwards Agrees to Split
That Sum Between Champs,
KiIbane and Williams.

They are still bidding high in Phila-
delphia for the privilege OF holding that
proposed Kilbane- Williams bout.
Word came from that city today
that Promoter Harry Edwards. Of the
Olympic Athletic Association. made an
offer yesterday morning of $4,000 to
stage the fight. This offer came at a
conference between the fight managers
and the fistic promoters held at tho
Bingham Hotel.
Promoter Jack McGuigan. Of the Ma
tional Athletic Club was present. and
at the time was unable to raise his Of
fer Until he had consulted his hackers
The mere fact that McGuigan is willing
to discuss the proposition Of going be-
yond the $4,000 mark shows just how
eeger the Quaker City promoters are
to get the boys to clash under their
auspices.
the purse Of $1,000 would be divided
equally among the two participan nts.
The two managers. 1t is said. agreed to
this proposition. 1t was also stated
after the conference that the weight
question had been settled. that >Kilbane
had withdrawn his ultimatum OF ~
pounds at 8 o'clock and that he Is ready
to make ringside weight for Williams.
1t seems to be a certainty now that
Philadelphia will stage this classic and
that either the Olympia or the National
will be the club. 1t now becomes a bat
tie between promoters. At the meeting
McGuigan, Of the National. said that he
had been authorized by his hackers to
20 the limit to procure the bout for his
club. and that Is what he proposes to
do.
The offering of such a sum Is q tribute
to the young Baltimorean's ability.
That he is big drawing card has been
shown time and time again. and the
promoters feel more than safe In maxi
ing such an offer. Fight lovers from
New York. Boston. Baltimore, Washing
ton. and other cities will flock to Phila-
delphia to see the bout. There Is no
doubt that Williams will have big
crowd Of boosters there. for the tactics
of the local boys have met with praise.
while just the opposite Is the case with
the Clevelander
1t looks very much in truth as II the
featherweight champion will be not only
enticed into the ring by the purse that
glitters before his minds eye. but that
he will he also forced into the ring by
the public opinion of those who follow
the game.
