WILSON CHOICE IN BOU!
Favored at 3 to 2 to Defeat Downey
in Middleweight Title Go
Labor Day.
BY FAIRPI.AY

NEW YORK. August 24.-Bettine
began today on the outcome of the
Wilson-Downey fight, which will be
staged by Tex Rickard in the big
arena on Doyle,s Thirty Acres in
jersey City Labor day afternoon.
When it comes to naming real
champions no better line than the
betting odds can be found. There is
no sentiment in them. They are
based on plain hard facts. Money
was offering at uptown resorts today
that the Bostonian would beat Bryan
Downey in the coming battle. In an
effort to make the bids tempting odds
were placed at 3 to 2. A few bets
were made at this figure. but nothing
of Importance.
When the Cleveland delegation
which accompanied Downey to this
city begins to go into action with
their wads then it may be that the
odds will even up: but Just at present
there is not the slightest doubt that
the fancy in this section of the coun-
try favors Johnny Wilson to beat the
westerner.
Wilson" said Mike O'Dowd today.
in speaking of the champion. "is no
set-up for any fighter. and when he
is right and in good condition he will
