tred along camo Jack O'Brien with a
I5O00O purse for n slx-iound bout In Phila
delphia. All thought that Jack was hluf
W. nnd ho was graciously nllowed to
.ppear beforo tho "powers that be -'meaning
Jack Curley-to stato his caso
'una then retreat, amid tho merry ha has
of the multitude
But Mr. O'Erlen put ono over on tho
wlso gentlemen In New York. Ho stated
his case, submitted nis proposition in
writing, and, Just beforo tho audlenco be
gan to laugh, nonchalantly dropped n.
JI0.000 certlnod check on air. uuriey s
desk to show that ho meant business.
The wna no laughter. Tho carefully
prepared scene was mined. Instead of
smiles there was consicrnnunn, imu cur
ley and his satellites were hanging on
:the ropes.
This offer opened the eyes of Curley.
He saw possibilities of making large
wads of real money and ho wanted somo
of It for himself If O'Brien could put
up $30,000 for six rounds, why couldn't n
10-round bout In Xew York, "where ono
is born every minute," mako good!
It was then tnat welfare! ana tno otners
were thrown into tho discard. Jimmy
Johnson rnlscd tho bid to $55,000. "Ha,
ha," said Curlcy.
And Frank Morgan Gets HIS
Rlckant then obliged with SC0.0O0. "Ha,
ha," again chortled Mr. Curley. "I am
the best llttlo promoter in tho world. I
will stago tho match. Do not tempt m
with any more legal tender. The boxers
will be taken caro of, but I must get
MINE."
And In tho meantime, Frank Moran,
through his official megaphone, Iko Dqr-
gan was shouting: "Where do I come
oft? Where do I get MINK?"
Curley's action yesterday answered the
question. Moran not HIS and ho got It
GOOD. Ho carefully removed his. collar
and Curley used tho ax.
Jack O'Brien shrugged his shoulders
yesterday when ho heard of tho new deal
In which Dillon and Wlllard llgured.
"It's all off now." he said. "Moran held
out for too much money and Curley picked
u man who will put up n better battle
for a smaller amount of coin. Curlev wna
determined to pull off the match himself.
I knew this when I mado my offer, for
Jack didn't act natural when ho handled
the $10,000 check I orfercd to bind the
match, Ho wants a slico of tho gato re
lipts, and ho is going to get It.
Says Dillon Is Good
"I .Shall mako nn fllrrhffr nffnrt in fat
the match. Thero wns a possibility of
staging a I5-round bout nenr Philadelphia,
Jut from Curley's actions I could see that
the only place to hold It would bo In tho
iilint, nhero tho boxers could get enough
money to satlsfv them t hni.i nn in foot
ings toward Curley. He Is In tho business
tor himself, had the power to make tho
match, and It Is up to him to stago It If
tie wants to. I saw a chance to bring
,1116 battle to Philadelphia, tried to get It
ana failed,

The date for tho fracas Is set "some

will bo noted thnt Mr. Wlllnrd does not
allow boxing to Interfere with his circus
engagements, which begin on April 20. He
must not keep tho show wnltlng.
Frod Fulton, despite his showing against
Porky Flynii. still Is a good drawing card,

forced to look for outside bouts, now that
ho has been eliminated, nnd he might lis

Look Who's Here
The Kllbane-Chnncy battle seems to bo
off so far ui Ualtlmoro is concerned. Jack
Hanloii camo to bat with a $5000 offer
yesterday, nnd, to make It look real good,
gave them tho privilege of taking "0 per
cent, of the gate receipts. This probably
la the first noise to bo heard In Philadel
phia. Jack MeOulgan Is likely to como
through with n bid for tho National, and
It Is known that a syndlcnta will offer
$7500, with a percentage privilege, for n
10 or lS-round bout near Philadelphia. At
any rate, It looks bad for Baltimore, nnd
wo have a good chanco of seeing tho bout
without paying extra carfare.

Negotiations aro pending with three clubs In
the National Leaguo but will' not bo closed
until the meeting of the league In New York
next week. What club will Und tho fast out
fielder Tinker was unable to oay, because he
does not know at this time how high the
offers have gone.
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Brooklyn are
said to he bidding- for Good, but Tinker would
not confirm It. Pat Moran Is In need of a
heavy-hlttlng left-hander, and Oood would fill
In nicely on the Phils.
Brooklyn wants Good, It la said, because It
Is not certain whether Zack Wheat will be In
shape at the start of the teason Wheat has
been having trouble with his ankle, and It Is
said to be bothering htm so much that he
may not be able to go South with tho club.
Pittsburgh Is shy of outfielders, and Good could
ba used In either right or centre field.

verso on tho Pretzels' floor, and adherents
of tho Musical Fund combination nro to
day contending that had It not been for
tho favoritism shown by Kefcreo Hrennnn.
tho Trlcounty Lcaguo ofllclal, tho local
five would not have been defeated by foul
tosses. The margin of victory wat four
points. Sixteen fouls wero chalked
against tho homo team and 2G against
Do Nerl.
Tho Trlcounty Leaguo rcfereo was
rushed Into tho breach when Charllo Mai
Ion, tho official Eastern Lcnguo referee,
failed to appear for tho game. Tho ab
sence of Mallon is explained by tho mix
up In nsslgnments. Mnllon nppeared at
the armory In Cnmden last night to ref
eree tho Trenton game, although Herman
Uaetzel was officially booked.
Those who witnessed the game say that
the plnch-hltter referee overlooked mrn
fouls committed by tho home five, nnd
was decidedly prejudiced against Do Nerl.

The Battle Is On:
PHILS PURCHASE ' '
ADAMS, OF CUBS,
AT WAIVER PRICE
Big Right-Handed Pitcher
Will Bolster Up Mo-
ran's Staff
BEAT ALEX LAST YEAR
Karl Adams, tho giant right-handed
pitcher of the Chlcngo National Lcaguo
Club Inst season, was purchased by Matt
ngcr Moron, of tho Phillies, today, for tho
walVcr price of $1500. Tho acquisition at
Adams to tho l'hllly staff greatly im
proves the chnticcs of the locnl tcarri liV
thp National League race. He was ono
of the most promising looking y.ungstcra.
In the leaguo last season, dcsplto th(3
willingness of Manager Tinker to part
with him for such a ridiculously low
ilgtirc. ,,,,.
Adam's record Inst season was not very,, ,.
good, ns ho Is credited officially with
i but one victory, but ho wns seldom nll ht
lowed to start n game because Manager. o
I Hresnnhan lnckcd confidence In the lank; ,
voungstcr. In two gnmea against the. ,
, I'lillllcs, ono of which wns played In """"
this city, Atlnma pitched wonderful ball,
i Working ngalnst Alexander, he wna
I beaten I In 0 In this city, although ha
held tho Phillies to threo hits, whllo In
1 C'hlrngo ho registered his only victory
of the year against the new champloniViijj
I National Leaguo players cannot undor-;,
' stand why Tinker asked for waivers 0tV
I such a promising youngster. They ad"-q
mlt that his curve ball Is not na ctlcctlvo c
ns It might be, but all contend ttnrenrlr
Adams has as fast n break on his fast
ball as any pitcher In tho country. A
Manager Mornn has proved a wonder in
developing tho curvo ball for Alexander.
Itlxcy, Uronnan nnd Chalmers, It la be-
lleved that Adams will bo n finished') "
pitcher beforo the WIG season is long unHSl-i,s
