CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Arrangements have
been on foot during the last week for a
meeting between Sullivan and Dominick
Mccartney 10 take place at the Chester
Driving park at Cincinnati. Billy O'Brien,
McCatfrey'S manager, is in the city. and III
conversation with the GLOBE reporter said:
while in Montreal last week l received a
telegram from McCaffrey, telling me to go
to Chicago at once and meet Sullivan'S rep
reSentative, who would come on from Gin
cinnati for the purpose of arranging the
match. l went at once to Philadelphia and
found that the much-talked-of Ryan-Sulli
van set-tO, which, it had been announced,
would come OFF at Cincinnati, Aug. IS,
had fallen through, owing to Paddy's incli-
nation to monkey when the time came
for signing articles. Sullivan became dis
gusted and said he would meet any good
man on the date and at the place selected
for his meeting with Ryan, and when Dom
heard this he was only too quick to pick the
big fellow up. l met the Cincinnati man
here Saturday and have signed articles for
the meeting. in which everything save the
date is provided for. Eighteen days is al
most too short time for man TO train for
meeting like this, and if agreeable to Sui
livan we want TO postpone it until Aug. 81.
1t is stated that the consent Of the POrkOpO-
lis authority has been secured, and that
there will be nothing to hinder or stop the
set-to, save the
PHYSICAL ABILITY
of one or both of the contestants" The
articles call for six or eight rounds, as the
contestants may afterwards decide. McCaf-
frey and his friends have so long been sing
ing the Pittsburg boys proweSs that the
public has of late months begun to wish for
the Set-tO. which is now announced and for
which McCaffrey has always avOwed a
strong inclination. In the minds of ma
jOrity of the fancy" there can be but one
result, should they come together, and as
John l.. has less Use for DOminick than for
any pugilist upon the turf today, Mr..
McCatfrey will very likely be a badly
whipped man when the set-to ends. While
''ParSOn" Davies, BILLY" Pinkerton,
BILLY" O'Brien and several others,
equally well known, were indulging
in a social glass at 1.-The StOre'
Friday evening. the ''parsOn" asked O'Buen
why he did not match MeCaffrey against
Burke, Cleary, Mitchell or some other good
man whose ability was nearly enough
measured with the PittSburger to make a
good fight. ''Well." said O'Brien, ''8Iiteh-
ell is not open for an engagement just now,
and we can't make terms with Burke, while
Cleary, don't think, would be drawing
card.n Il viii give McCaffrey $1,000 to
spar Cleary six rounds at Battery d, next
October" said the ''parsOn." That's good
enough for me-" was 0'Brien's prompt an
swer, aud the match was practically settled
ON the spot. The ''parson" will at once
communicate with Cleary. and arrange all
details of meeting as soon as possible.
