COCHRANE OFFERS BIG
MONEY FOR THE BOUT

Reports from London say that
Charles Cochrane has offered a cool
quarter OF q million dollars for the
match. while another one states that
a French syndicate offers halt mill
lion dollars Another English syndi-
cate comes forward with an offer just
as good. the best in the states being
an offer Of s2o0. zoe, which is a record
mark for anything Of that kind and
too high by far. A cablegram from
London via America saws that Mel
bourne syndicate has offered half a
million for the match In Australia
The offer is safe. however, as the
men would never think OF coming
here IL they could get anywhere near
the same amount in the states OF
England. owing TO the Ions travel
here. etc From what 1 can learn
there is nothing to the Melbourne
offer whatever The only people there
who might consider such match
would be John Wren. at the head 81
the stadiums in Australia or Sol
Green. the well known hOOkmaker
but neither one has even expressed a
desire 70 mix in IT,
