MINNEAPOLIS SPORTS.

PatSy CarQln ana CnarleS Moth returned
yesterday morning from Fargo. where they
gave two athletic exhibitions. and, Judging
from the account in the Fargo Argus, the
exhibition was highly creditable. On the
second night pugilist named Hutchinson
from Moorhead accepted Cardif's offer of
500 to stay four rounds before the North
western champion. Cardiff treated him
quietly the first round, but during the Sec
ond round he slugged him viciously, and
the aspirant for 500 quit.
While Charles Moth was in Fargo, De
troit Mich, correspondent of the GLOBE
pulled him over the Goals for claiming that
he defeated Bob Wright in the Graco-Ro-
man fight in that city about a year ago.
Moth was met by a GLOBE reporter last
night. and an interview relating thereto
occurred as follows:
did you read in the GLOBE the al
legations that Bob Wright of Detroit
wrestled draw with you?"
YES, l saw it."
what have you to say about it?"
''BOb Wright is not in my class. I am
not looking for small fry, but if Bob Wright
thinks he can throw me- l am willing to
satisfy him to the contrary"
''Do you challenge him?"
Eyes; I'll meet him any time, ;" replied
the German, land for any amount OF
money"
How is he for wrestler?"
HE is good one for his class. will
go to Eau Claire in few days to train fol
my match with Mclaughlin, and if Wright
will come there will wrestle him Graco-
Roman or Graco-Roman and catch-as-catch-
can. I know can throw him easily"
How about Tom Mcmahon; l see you
have a match with him the last of January?'
Il have? Well. that's funny. I don't
know where Tom is. and 1 have not heard
anything from him."
Then you have arranged no match?"
''No, sir; but il Tom wants to meet me
am ready for him. Let him put up his for
fixture and I'll cover it too quick" and
Moth evidently meant precisely what he
said. He is in excellent condition, and in
tends to keep so.
A few months ago Patsy Cardiff gave a
soft-glove exhibition with James Brady OF
Buffalo, n. Y, at the Olympic theatel
in st. Paul, and considerable dispute grew
out OF the affair regarding who had the best
of it. The GLOBE intimated that Brady
out-boxed his antagonist, and the claim has
melted Cardiff to challenge Brady, who is
now in Fargo, to fight him to finish.
Brady accepted, and the following articles
were promptly subscribed to:
Fargo, Dec. 26.-Articles of agreement en-
tered into this 2eth day of December 1885,
between James Brady of Buffalo, n. Y, and
Patsy Cardiff of Minneapolis, to spar to a
finish with regulation gloves, Marquis of
Queensbury rules; match to be for champion

that he will win that they are offering odds
on him, with no takers.
