It looks as though a legitimate world's champion pugilist is to be evolved next month. An independent cable message to the Sun states that "Bombardier" Wells, the heavyweight champion of I Great" Britain, has been matched to box Luther M'Carty at Madison-square Gardens, New York, about the middle of February. The bout will be a jbenl'ourtds one, and Wells is to receive per cent, of the gross receipts. It is estimated that the house will hold £6000. The Sporting Life is confident that Wells will acquit himself creditably. "Tommy" Burns is anxious to fight Wells at Calgary in 'April. He has guaranteed the English champion £2400. The' articles of agreement are' being drafted.
