Hopes and Risks.
I hope he will suffer no anti-climax to his rousing victory at Madison Square, and will not be frozen out ot a contest in January with Lewis, who succeeded Bob Olin to the cruiser title. I am beginning to see daylight into the why and wherefore of Olin’s staying at h.ome instead of coming this way to fight Jack Petersen. The New York monopolists of titles must have decided that he was not the man to hold up against the .Welshman. At any rate, he himself was prepared to make the journey, and was held back only by the New York commission. Be thill as it may, I hope that McAvoy will not be jockeyed out of a contest with Lewis, and,that, if he is permitted to go to war against the negro, he will win a place among the worldbeaters. If lie enjoys that good fortune he may be certain of a Letter part of £SOOO to fight the winner of the Petersen and Harvey match, which was fought at the Empire Pool on January 29. Petersen being the winner.
