NEW Tom'lan. 12.—The .much
discussed bout between Earl Coddock,
world‘s Wrestling champion. and Joe
Steeher, his greatest rival, was clinch-
ed yesterday when Jack Cut-Joy, local
promoter, received a telegram from
Gene Melody, manager of Cautiock, an;
nouncing that he accepts the terms
offered for a. champ.onship match. to
be staged in this city late this month
or early next month. A few. nights
ago. “when Csd'dock wrestled Cyclone

but Mandy med for $50,000 for a
bout in Madison Square Garden. He
insisted that Caddocit Was as good :1.

Dempsey. and declared he Would not
agree to the match with Stecher for‘
Fulton-Moran match in the Newark
Sportsman's Club tonight there is lit-
tle likelihood of a. “’llls-FuLton contest
taking place. it was announced last
week that in the event of a victory
over Heron ‘Fulton will be matched
with Wills. Such is notJikely to oc-
cur, however. Too many things an-
gur against it.
It now” develops that the real reason
for Wills leaving the coast was that
he was forced to. The Board of Box-
ing Supervisors in San Francisco bar-
red Wills from boningr there. and the
giant negro was forced to look else-
where for ring engagements. Wills
and Jack Thompson put up such a
tame bout in San Francisco that the
boxing board refused to allow the club
to pay the boxers and donated the $1,-
Ol'i that was to have been split be-
ftween the pugilists to charity.
