It docs seem rather strange that, after all the challenges that have been hurled about by Tommy Kelliy, Eugene Thompson and others, that one of them does not accept the proposition made by Tommy Burns of Chicago. Burns came here with otto Sieloff. and remained here in the hope of getting a match. He has offered to meet Reilly at 158 ringside. Jack Lovell at 452. or Eugene Thompson at 170, hut none of them appear anxious for Tommy's game. It is really amusing to note the challenges Issued every day or two. and also the profound silence that prevails when some good man culls the challengers.
