CINCINNATI, Aug. 2S.-The Law and
Order League and the Society for the Sup
pressing of Vice tried to-day to prevent the
Sullivan-AlcCaifrey fight for tomorrow.
Hints of their purpose were given yesterday
and the management being fOrewarned
were forearmed. To-day they found the
Chester Park Athletic club, of which Sui
lvan and McCatfrey were the first men TO
be enrolled. The sheriff was first appealed
10 and he responded, saying that he was
advised that the contest would be a Sparring
match between members of an athletic club
which are exempt from the provisions of
the statute sought to be enforced. he
promised to be on hand TO see that there
should be no brutal contest. Then, by the
consent of both sides, the matter was
brought before Judge Huston of the COM
mon pleas court, on an affidavit that Sulli
van was about TO engage in a prize fight.
Capt. Spritzky went to Chester park aud
told Sullivan he was wanted. ''All right,
said the latter, I've been expecting it."
The party came back to the city, and Sui
iyan, who was not
UNDER FORMAL ARREST
did not go TO the court. which finally ad-
jOurned with the understanding that the
bond in 1000 should be given at 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning that he shall not en-
gage in ''priZe fight" No one connected
with the affair has any doubt of the pro-
gram being fully carried out.
Sullivan refuses 10 express any opinion
as 20 the outcome, but says he wants to
fight and whip McCafFrey. As to his train
ing. he said: II would not have trained any
more for MeCaffrey than for any other man,
but as l have another match TO follow soon.
/ thought it better 10 work myself up for
both" McCaffrey wound up his training
at the BOwery this morning. He expressed
himself as perfectly satisfied with his phySi-
cal condition, and said: II am glad to hear
that Sullivan is in such good shape. The
question OF superior skill can now be settled
ON our merits. Both of us admit we are in
as fine form as could be wiSed and there
will be no chance for
BABY TALK
az the conclusion of the contest" Peter
Nolan of Cincinnati will act as master
of ceremonies at the contest, and probably
Peter J. DOnohue will be selected as time
keeper. ALI Hunt, his trainer, and Billy
0'Brien will second SlcCaffrey, and Arthur
Chambers and Tom Delay will act for Sulli-
van. The referee will be chosen on tine
ground. Grand stand SIS tickets have been
selling since morning like hot cakes. The
general admission will be 81, and the at
tendance promises TO be enormous, probably
not less than 20, 600 or more, ii the weather
continues me. Great numbers of sporting
men are arriving tonight. but there is
singular absence OF betting. Not a single
bet = been heard of this evening at the
turf exthaIge. The boxers Eames have
not yet gone into any pool box.
