Sylvie Ferre tl , the Chicago promoter , who lit Hugo Kelly In charge , contemplai coming east with his man in quest < matches. Manager Ferretti will mate his man , Kelly , against any white ml dlewelght in the country. He , h < n ever , draws the color line and stat < as a reason for so doing that Kel has never fought a negro. Ferret would send him against Sam Langfoi providing the latter will make the mi dlewcight limit , but not otyiorwis His reason for discriminating in favi of Langford Is because he regarc the latter as the best man of h weight In the world , but doesn't b lieve he can do the required weight. "However , If Langford will ngn to make 158 pounds , " says Ferret ! "Kelly will take him on , as Kelly laj claim to the title and Is prepared ' meet any man belonging in that clai who is considered eligible to fight ft theMtle. " Tom O'Rouke , wlio bas taken chart of "Sailor" Burke , is also out f ( the title for his man. The "Salloi made such a splendid showing wit Bill McKinnon of Boston the oth < night that O'Rourke believes tl "Sailor" stands a chance with any mn In the middleweight class. Who O'Rourke's attention was called I Hugo Kelly's contemplated Invasion < the east , ho promptly offered to mate the sailor against him. According to reports from the wei Ad Wolgast has called off his mate with Battling Nelson. Wolgast a serts that his injured arm Is not mem Ing as rapidly as ho had expected an ho doesn't feel Justified In taking an chances with the Battler on that a count. Some time ago Wolgast gav It out1 that there was llttlo Hkollhoa of him over entering the prize rln again , owing to the condition of h ! anteed $9.000 win , lose or draw. But he has changed his mind again and declared all bets off. Wolgast , to say I he least , Is a peculiar sort of a cham pion. It seems about time for him to retire permanently from the game or get In and do a bit of lighting. He's I doing entirely too much stalling. | Lew Powell , reputed to be the class ) . 1 eat lightweight San Francisco IMF 'turned out In a coon's age , has been matched with the Jersey terror , "Cy clone" Smith , by the Olympic dull for next Monday night. If the Call' fornlnn Isn't properly on to his Jol ; lic'll think before the contest IH hall > vor that It Is fairly snowing boxliifj gloves. Powell may bo all hla friends claim for him , and then some more ; lint If he can't punch the "Cyclone" liard enough to keep him off he'll be ipt to stop something with Hla jaw that will make him think the roof fel In and every bit of it hit him on the dome. "Cyclone" Smith waa unabli to hang one of hla haymakers or young Sammy Smith at the Natlona Sporting club Friday night , but thai does not signify that he'll misa the Callfornlan's scalp Monday night Sammy Smith Is a cool headed am clever boy , and that Is why he wenth ered the storm , and It may be thai Powell can do likewise. But If he should happen to stub his toe , what t headache he'll wake up with ! Powol certainly picked out a tough baby tc make his eastern debut with. "Bat" Masterson. TO STIR THINGS UP.
