A report that Heenan had died of cry :
sipelas proved TO be utterly unfounded.
Heenan on the 22d writes to the London
Times
81 see by your article of Saturday,
that you misunderstood my wishes, and
it does me great injustice. I have no
difference to settle with Sayers except
such as | tried to settle with him on the
10th and, instead of being called a
boy | ought to be termed baby :
if after having come so far, and not hav-
ing got settlement, l should be willing
to relinquish my purpose for few good
natured pats on the back, and being told
l am fine fellow I have received a
great many anonymous letters, asking if
| am not ashamed of myself; great
fellow like me to come over here to whip
little man like Sayers p
Under ordinary circumstances should
not think of sending challenge to a
man like Sayers, but England thinks him
big enough to defend the belt. want it,
and cannot get it only through him. The
enclosed letter which [ sent to Bells Life
when | heard they intended to call in a
surgeon to name the day before which
Sayers could not finish the pending affair,
will show my position, and as Bells Life
has not published it, you will do me a
great kindness by letting the English peo-
pie hear what | have to say. If the late
battle is not to be resumed and the belt
is not to come to me for what has already
taken place, claim to be first on the list
TO meet Sayers again for the next chance
to conquer it
The following is the letter to Bells
Life mot having been able to obtain
from you, as Referee, the final decision
upon the fight OF Tuesday last, | desire
to demand through you new meeting
within the present week. | make this
demand from having been informed that
il has been suggested on your part that
| should give Sayers sufficient time to re-
cover from certain injuries received by
him. Now, sir, while | am willing to
accommodate him in any proper way, |
must not be unmindful of my own rights
I also received injuries, but | bargained
for them, and put it to you as a man Of
honor, whether, if l had been deprived,
through the effect of the said fight, Of
my eye-sight or the use of my arm, as
in the case of Brattle, when disabled by
Savers, YOU would have made Sayers
wait for me for any length of time that
might be dictated by my private doctor.
When these matches were made the date
of the battle was the 10th, or as soon as
we could get to fight, and according to
the rules, the battle should be uninter-
rupted. 1t was my understanding, and
/ believe it the law that we should fight
within week. We did meet according
TO contract. The battle is said to be un-
finished. am prepared to renew the
battle at any moment within lawful time.
If Sayers is not ready on account of in
iuries received from me, and cannot meet
me according to the rules Of the prize
ring he is not entitled to retain the belt.
Hoping to receive an answer from you be-
fore the week expires stating your views
in full.
l am, &C., dc.
p S.-You will please understand |
don't wish to compel Sayers TO fight be-
cause he is represented TO be in disa
bled state, but | wish 10 obtain what |
think | have already won, and which |
will cheerfully hand back whenever he
or any other person thinks he can take it
from me.
