Iron the Cincinnati Enquirer, Nov. 81
The public mas learned within the last few days
that the gentlemen wno are engaged 10 getting IN a
diversion between Mike McCoole and Tom Allen
have had d slight misunderstanding, aud upol this
certain papers have assumed to declare that there
would be 10 Eight. AS we intlinated a few DAYS ago
the trouble was In regard TO the final stakeholder
for the match The stakes are Tor s. 500 aside, and
before McCooe left 81. Louis to come here ana nish
his training man named Murray was selected
by h hackers as the stakeholder but Aliens hackers
refused TO allow this honor to conferred upon Mr..
Murray. They asserted that IL was the Intention of
McCooles friends TO have the money placed In the
hands OF q man who would hand tle stakes over to
Mike in the event that he won. aud Ia case he should
be vanquisned would allow himself to be sued and
thus swinde Alien out OF the substantial fruits OF
his victory. Allen having been twice cheated in ST.
Louis was not willin. that any such game should be
played upon him IN this match.
On the other hand, Jack Looney who represents
the hackers OF the big giant asserts that McCoole -
neither afraid 10 meet Alien nor are his hackers
afraid OF losing their money; but that Aliens

Bill Carroll, who also represents the Allen wing,
has been here all the week trying TO arrange mat

Mr.. Thorve.en Of 81. Louis, reached here upon the
same Grand lie has 81, 100 Interest IL tue stake
advanced by Allen, aud II Is understood that If no

agree upon him as stakeholder. There Is every
TO believe that the complication viii be salts
factorily adjusted In this way, and there win be no
nindranco or tho fight.
But even the matter Of the stakes Is not adjusted
there is reason why the fight saould not come on.
Allen says that ne Is ready and wiling to.h3ht for the
excursion money, or for nothing, IN fact, In order
that he may settle the question Of superiority be-
tween himself and McCoole The latter says That he
will aght for one cent rather than that the match
