The little fellow whom the Writishers call a pocket edition of the late Bob Fitz- simmons, is turning a cold eye on Promoter Cochran’s bids for a match with Pal Moore at and is casting longing glan these shores in the hopes of finding & boxing bonanza. Whether Wilde's declarations that he wants to come to America are the real goods or on 1 bluff to make Cochran raise the ante for the pro- posed return title with Moore remains to be seen.

America's politan population, as well as Ame ea's good sportsmanship, always as- sures a visiting foreigner a hearty greeting.

It was given out that 20,000 attended the match between Wilde and Moore, and that the Briton received $15,000 and the American $10,000 for their service: Cochran now announces that the re- ceipts for the fight were $9,500, which would tend to make the sertion Wilde and Moore were paid a total of $25,000 seem rather fishy.
