CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Paddy Ryan, who
was expected to meet Sullivan in San
Francisco next month, left for Toledo un-
expectedly two days ago. and late last
night telegraphed here: "Ihave to throw
up everything at present." Parson
Davies, who has been managing Ryan's
affairs. had arranged for Paddy's appear
ance in Minneapolis and st. Paul in a
starring exhibition, and had also billed
various places on ths Northern Pacific
Railroad, in expectation that Ryan would
appear as his principal attraction. These
exhibitions were to be given on the way to
San Francisco. On receipt Of Ryan's
telegram Davies wired him to the effect
that he was showing the white feather and
afraid to meet Sullivan. Ryan replied
hat he would return to Chicago as
soon as he could remov his mother.
Later he te~legraphed Davies: Everything
was of, including his meeting with Sulli-
van, as his mother was very sick" Davies
comments very freely Upon Ryan's con-
duct, and says it ia Q clear case OF funky-
ing, and that Paddy is hiding behind his
mother. Other sporting characters de-
clare that Ryan is in no condition for a
match Of any kind; that he has been
drinking heavily, n that in q recent
friendly match with Sheriff, the Prussian,
the latter showed himself the best man; so
that Ryan has no business with Sullivan.
A Toledo telegram says: Ryan's mother
is not seriously sick. An attempt will
still be made to hold Ryan to his contract.
