Sullivan Willing 10 Fight.

SAN Francisco, March 21.-John l..
Sullivan telegraphs the following from
Tucson, A. T., to the Associated Press:
I read in the Associated Press dispatches
that Sheedy had matched me for SIS, 900
q side to fight Thompson, and had put up
a forfeit of $500. Smith and myself i'm
mediately telegraphed Sheedy, saying: Go
on with the match, that I would fight, and
not to let them get away with any bluff. l
have never received any answer from
Sheedy. This is all / know of the matter.
If the match has not been made, let Mr..
Thompson put up a forfeit Of 50, 500 with
the New York Clipper. l will cover it i'm
mediately. 1t is pretty hard to make a
match 5000 miles apart. 1 will fight him
London prize rules. l will fight in six
weeks or two months from to-day, and toss
for the choice of grounds.
