FOR BOUT WITH COOPER

SAN FRANCISCO, May s.
Mickey Walker, welterweight cham
pion pugilist, arrived yesterday for
his fight here May Is with Lefty
Cooper. The champions manager,
Jack Kearns, said the bout would
not involve the title.
Kearns explained that a clause in
the contract required Cooper TO
weigh more than $50 pounds. The
welterweight limit is lat, at about
which figure Walker is expected to
enter the ring, though he weighed
slightly oTer $50 today.
Kearns added that Walker had
been offered a title match with an
unnamed opponent in Los Angeles
some time this summer and that
the proposal was regarded favor
ably. Unless this bout materializes,
the weller title will not be at issue
until Walker meets Dave Shade
in New York in August. Kearns re-

hearing Of the case by Fred Ruben
at the National headquarters of
the amateur Athletic Union.
Nurni, with Willie Ritola and
Hugo Quist, are due to arrive in
town today and will be hailed before
the one man tribunal to answer the
charges Of X. l.. Wilson, Of Drake
University, that excessive expenses
were demanded by Quist for the
appearance of the two stars at the
Drake relays.
Wilson's allegation is to the eff
feet that Quist asked $1,000 for
NurTni and $500 for Ritola, it being
apparent that Nurmi was to be
considered not only a faster runner
than Ritola, but one who lived
twice as rapidly.
The Drake side Of the issue will
be represented by Mr.. Wilson's
dIllOdVlL only ana IL may not De
enough. An affidavit can only
make q statement; it can neither
amplify nor argue.
Quist's side of the story is that
he met Wilson just once and that
the question OF expenses did not
arise during the interview in ques-
ton. Neither Nur1ni nor Ritola
were present, according to the
statements Of Wilson and Quist;
therefore, it is the general belief
that 1t will be difficult to connect
them with the alleged demand.
