It was Jem Bowker who beat Nell last summer In England for the world’s title, but so good a Judge of lighters us George Weedon, who has traveled abroad with Young Corbett, Tom Jenkins, the wrestler, and many other ring celebrities, says Bowker Is not as “classy a man among the bantams as little Moran.“I saw both of them fight when I was in England, and if I were going to back either one In a match I’d pick Moran. Bowker is a good bo., but Moran I like better. Moran Is an awful nice little fellow. He la Just such sort of a chap as Jabes White, who, by tbe way. Is well liked at home.”Weqdpji saw Nell fight Bowker nnd lost n bet on tbe result. He mentioned that Nell looked to be an easy winner ln the first three rounds, bat after that Frankie only covered up and permitted Bowker to do all the leading. Weedon thought that Nell lost through not being! acclimated. “Frankie told me When I visited btm at his training quarters before the fight that he wasn’t feeling any too well.’’ said Weedon. “but looked upon Bowker as such nn eaay Job that be fought him out of cotif ditlon.”
