There are no matches out there for the little Chicagoan except at 117 pounds seven hours before *ae flght and th«* Logan Square boxer, who can still make close to 105 pounds with ease, has refused flatly to concede this poundage to the Pacific coast stars. “They must make 115 pounds at the ringside or there will be no Johnny out ttw-ro, the little fellow says. “Me* Carey Is willing to give me a purse for Monte Attell or Danny Webster at 115 pounds at 3 o'clock, but I have not gone Into the business of fight ing feather weights just yet. My father will bet them $1,000 on tie-side if they will make the weight nt the ringside, but they are unwilling to do this.”
