The East Chicago Business Men's as
sociation held an enthusiastic meeting
Thursday evening at Moss' hall on Olcott avenue. The most of the time was taken up in discussing the report of the committee on credits and collections, and at the close of the meeting there seemed to be a feeling of satisfaction that the association was on the right road to do away with the special assessor, sometimes called the "dead beat." The secretary was appointed as collector for members of the association under certain restrictions, and rates fixed by the committee. Resolutions were adopted which provided that when a debtor becomes Indifferent to his obligation and shows no disposition, within a reasonable time after being notified, to make any arrangements for settlement his name shall be referred to the credit committee, and upon their recommendation be published In a monthly list of delinquent debtors. Attorneys will be employed for those cases where the debtor Is collectable. At the next meeting, which will be held Thursday evening, April 15, the association will take up the matter of free mail delivery and existing labor conditions. Every member should be present and encourage these movements that look toward the betterment of our home city. If you are not a member, you owe it to yourself and the community to join at once. During this month the membership fee of $2 for
charter members will remain in force,
After May 1st the fee will be Jo.

James Coffroth, the San Francisco
fight promoter, spent a few hours in
Chicago yesterday and did more in the matchmaking line in that time than Mcintosh and al lof the other boxing
impresarios have done since the BurnsJohnson fight at Svdnev. Cnffroth
matched Hugo Kelly and Billy Papke for a May date before his club, jrot
Nelson and Johnny Thompson to agree on terms for a prospective battle and
brought Nelson and Packey McFarland
closer to a fight than they have ever been.
Satisfied with his few hours work, the
dean of fight promoters started for the
east, where he will try and induce Johnson and Jeffries to sign articles for
a fight. Failing in this he will endeavor to match Johnson with Ketcbel or
Kaufman.
When Coffroth hopped on a Pennsyl
vania flyer for the east, after a hurry
up automobile dash across the city, a battle between McFarland and Nelson for the lightweight championship of
the world, to be decided at Colma July 4, seemed practically assured.
Onty Hitch la on AVelght. Nelson and Harry Gilmore Jr. man
ager of McFarland, after a short conference with Coffroth, agreed upon the flnanolal terms for the proposed go, and the only hitch left in the arrange
ments is on the weight question.
Nelson for a long time Insisted upon
133 pounds at the ringside, declaring
emphatically that he would not battle under any other conditions. Gilmore
was Just as obdurate. Insisting upon the lightweight limit being four hours
before ring time.
Nelson agreed to split the difference
after a long wrangle with Gilmore that is, make the weight 133 pounds
two hours before the fight. Gilmore.

Lltchensteln, manager of the Sycamore cyclone, declares he can get $10,000 backing for his man for the go.

The long route planned simply shows how much respect Thompson and the Dane have for each other's durability. Such a fight surely will have a right to be styled "a boxing contest over the Marathon route." VvTnUl Stgna for Kelly. Silvie Ferrettl, manager of Hugo Kelly, met Coffroth on his arrival and signed an agreement for a battle between the local Italian and Papke, with the understanding that Kelly was to get first chance at Ketchel and the middleweight championship in case of a victory over the Kewaneelte.

Officially the White Sox are without
a manager. Catcher Billy Sullivan upon arriving in Chicago with tho squad yesterday was closeted during a large portion of the afternoon with Owner Charles A. Comlskey. This was taken by the fans to mean that the proposition of leading the Sox as manager was being discussed. Comlskey, however, said that nothing was done In regard to the matter, but that he would probably make his announcement on his return" from Cincinnati Monday. "No, I have not made my final arrangements as yet," said Comlskey last night. "Sullivan was seen In my office this afternoon talking with me and the report evidently went out that there was something doing In a managerial way. But that was not so. There Is a deal yet to be put through before I will make up my mind. It will probably be when I return from
Cincinnati after seeing my team play there Sunday. I will leare tonight for
Cincinnati.
"Sullivan and I merely talked over the
new players," continued Comlskey. "I have several to be disposed of, and It was this that we were discussing I
