The chief stumbling-block to the swift arranging of the contest has been Kane's natural anxiety to avoid a repetition of his and Gibbons' experiences when they sere last in London He has demanded and he is scarcely to be blamed—a guarantee that the sum of money pro- mised will be forthcoming either im mediately before or after the fight.

Firpo was introduced the audience from the ring of the National Sporting Club on a Monday night, and it was gene- rally comm/nted that he must now be the best-looking fighter before the pub lic. Bince the decline of Carpentier he must certainly be given that distinction. He was born on October.
