Warren Barbour, Who May Meet Tony Biddle.

Stroug efforts are being made to bring Warren Barbour, son of a wealthy New Yorker, who recently won the amateur heavyweight boxing championship of the United States, and Tony Biddle, the youug society man of Philadelphia, together in a battle for the millionaire championship of America. Barbour and Biddle are millionaires in their own right many times over and belong to the Four Hundred set In their respective cities. Charley White, the famous referee, who handled Barbour in bls bouts in Boston recently, Is inclined to believe that his protege might be induced to meet BIA die under certain conditions. The bringing of these two young gladiators together in a glove contest according to Queensberry rules would be an event that would be sure to bring out the society swells in New York and Philadelphia. It is to bs hoped that promoters will succeed In staging the match.
