themselves them them- selves and anel the promoters Tho The g giving of for Jeffries J and Johnson to battle for has spoiled most of the champions of the various classes and the they turn up their noses at anything like reasonable purses They want to hog everything o in sight and as a result some BODIO of t them em are going soing along without any matches The other da day Tommy W Walsh sh who is is acting for one of the tho boxing clubs in New Orleans was in Chicago Ho lie tried to secure a couple of bi big matches for this fall faU at the cent cont city but found tho the going goin ver very bad He offered a a. purse of for Ad Wolgast and Packey McFarland for 1 Labor Labor La La- n- n bor daj day but discovered ered that the fhe men meu could not agree on weight although there was IlS a a. chance chanco that they would agree on the split II They haggled led so S1 Ion long over the weight question said Mr Walsh that that I considered it time tinie timeto to pack up and go home Just think of offering that amount of money for a twenty round bout and taking chances chanceR on makin making nothing and then to have it passed up Why they talk of bi big I purses on the coast but I know positively ti that they could not get et that money out there now Another pair wanted a sure sure- thing guarantee with a privilege that nearly took my breath away and I informed them to tako a n trip west and see Tex Rickard The Tho game is js us getting ctt ng fierce and the only wa way for promoters to do llo is to refuse to give in in to such ridiculous demands and aniT let Jet the boxers
