would be sufficient
Wilmington is not enthusiastic over

hack If the limit is not less than 81, 900
or more than $1,000. Trenton will
come back at any limit less than
$4,000; while Reading favors $1,S00
limit. In the majority of the Tri-State
towns a general opinion prevails that
n low salary limit would prevent IL

ried the weight agreed on 122 pounds

hitch comes on this score. Dunn says
that he told Jack McGuigan, of the

liams, but that the weight must be 122
pounds at o'clock.

declared Dunn, well demand as our
share $4,000, or 3 per cent, for that
would be a championship match.
When left Philadelphia Sammy Har-

agreed to 122 pounds at 6 o'clock. and
McGuigan had refused to give me
$4,000 guarantee for match at 122

now. and there's no chance for them
to get Kilbane under any terms except
as have outlined them"
