Traction Five Wins Two Tenpin Games in Exhibition Bout
Traction Five won two tenpin games with a $5000 forfeit for appearance. No venue chosen yet for the bout though Madison Square Garden and other venues are under consideration. All seats will be reserved with prices from $10 to $100 or more for ringside boxes. No authority interference expected as ten round no decision bouts are allowed under New York law. Willard demands at least $30,000 for his share and a fight in New York on March 3 seems unlikely before April. Tom Jones, manager, says no signing yet and Jack Curley may visit to discuss arrangements.
