Show dreamland last Friday night at the local lo-cal auditorium, and Young Erlenborn of Salt Lake. Both boys hall from Salt Iike and are easily the best lu the featherweight division In this part of the country. Sinclair Is now at Rock Springs preparing for his bout with Kjd Oocc at that place on February 22. but has Indicated that he will be agreeable to a match between himself and Kr-lenborn Kr-lenborn after his return. Sinclair has been having his hands full answering cliallcges lately, the most Important of those received in the last few days being be-ing from Johnny Coulon, who claims the featherweight championship of the United States, and who offers to take on Sinclair at any weight for a sldo bet of ?500 and an equal division of the gate receipts. The possibilities are I that the fans In this locality will have I a chance to witness some first class 1 bouts between the liule men In the near future, and everything looks good for tho battles being held in Og-den. Og-den. Ogden May Get Bout. j While Salt Lake has a boxing club, nothing over four rounds is staged there, and It Is not considered likely that a match for such a short distance between Sinclair and Erlenborn or Sinclair and Coulon would bo satisfactory satisfac-tory to either party. In tho lkht of this It looks as though some place outside out-side of Salt Lake would have to be determined upon for the match, and In this event tho only logical place to i hold kucIi a contest would be Ogden. Another challenge which Is somewhat some-what interesting Is that of "Kid" Bell, the fast colored" lightweight, who chal lenges el: her Sinclair or Erlenborn at 122 pounds at .1 o'clock. Bell says ho Is willing to put up a side bet of 1 3200, and Is willing to let either man who accepts his defi name all oilier terms. Freddie Wilton, a new arrival In this part of the country, who halls from New York, also Issues a double challenge, including Sinclair and Erlenborn Er-lenborn at 122 pounds. Many Other Matches. Johnny Gilbert the favorite, of the railroad men, has challenged Erlenborn Erlen-born at 1.10 pounds. Erlenborn has signified his willingness to tako on men heavier than himself, so that there Is a probability of the match being be-ing nmde. In the event of Johnny COuloa and "1'eanuts" Sinclair hitch ing up for a malch, the fight followers of ibis vicinity will have a chance to see a iun who Is considered one of the be:t featherweights in the world to'laj h Coulon. He has agreed In his thaienge to lake on Sinclair at any woght, and despite his record there are a number of sports In this part ol the country who hixe seen Sincloii in action and do not bollee Coulon can stop him if he gives away ten pouids.
