Pal Moore to Receive
$4,000 for Wilde Bout
in London on July 4

Nate Lewis, manager of Pal
Moore, the Memphis bantamweight,
announced several days since that
his terms for a match between Jim
mic Wilde, England's sensational
fiyweight, and Moore had been &C
cepted and that the men will come
together in 20-round bout in Lon
don on or about July 4 for what
ne termed as the worlds bantam
weight championship. According
to Lewis, he is guaranteed approx
imately $4,000 for the match.
At tournament held in London
some months ago Wilde lost
three-round decision to Moore, and
since then the promoters and
sportsmen of England have been
angling to bring the men together
again. They tried to induce Man
ager Walsh to return to England
with smashing offers. He ignored
all inducements until last week,
when he was informed by a cable
gram that syndicate had accepted
his demands.

Been little over $4,000 head or 1000 more
than last week. but $500 less than for the
third week in May last year Conditions
surrounding the trade have all been bear
aahs and both beef steers and cows have
declined fully half dollar in price. Desir-
able yearlings and handy weight steers
have not suffered as much as the heavy
cattle. as demand has been good for the
lighter and cheaper stuff. and both pack
err and shippers have been fighting the
hlgh-costing stock. Business in stockers
ana feeders has been seasonably light, with
prices anywhere from steady to half dol
lar lower than a week ago.
