The SIuggers.

d. J. Mahoney, who was wOrsted in the
glove contest with Charles Weber at White
Bear on Decoration day, is dissatisfied with
the result of the match, wants to try it
again, and challenges Weber to a four
round contest at Market hail. a week from
next Saturday, points to count and the Win
ner to take gate receipts.
E. Seward of Cleveland, o., writes to
Jefferson endeavoring to arrange match
with Wilson. From the tone of Seward s
letter he is very anxious to bring Wilson
against his ''colored unknown" Wilson
has too much on hand to arrange any matt
nees for some time to come Hadley. how
ever, expresses his willingness to meet the
unknown.
The usual palaver incidental to signing
articles of agreement is still going on be-
tween the hackers of Con Keefe of Fargo
and those of James Logger, better known
as the BLACK Star" Keefe holds the Da-
kOta championship cup for middle weights,
and the fight, if it comes off, should be
good one. Tom Jefferson has confidence
that terms will soon be agreed upon. The
match will probably take place III Dakota.
Mervine Thompson to all appearances is
anxious for another match with Wilson.
1t is altogether likely, however, that moth
ing will come of it. Thompson has never
taken rank as pugilist, his victories in
this line being over anything but first-rate
men. The fight with Smith, about which
so much was said, was wholly devoid of
science and little better than rough-and-
tumble Perhaps Thompson is willing. but
he may as well recognize the fact that he
is too ponderous for ring work.
1t is positively asserted that the Thomp-
son party found it necessary to borrow
money with which to leave the city. Be
this as it may, each of the four took first
class passage and purchased sleeping-car
tickets to Chicago.
Wilson goes into training to-day for his
! fight with Cardiff. He is in good condition
already, but Hadley, who has him in
charge, should recollect that his man Is to
go against the best fighter he has yet met,
and it therefore behooves him to pay atten-
ton to the scientific details OF training.
Cardiff viii be prepared for his coming
fight by Capt. Dalton. 1t is undecided as
/ yet whether to remain in the city or to
take up quarters at White Bear.
Several persons are in the city talking
about matching men against Wilson. The
latter has now something of a reputation,
and his hackers would be foolish to stick
him against any scrub who looms up and
talks fight. Wilson is rapidly taking rank
as a good one, and is therefore justified in
refusing to meet any but men who have
established something Of a name in their
line.
Communications are beginning to flow in
Offering to pit unknowns against Wilson.
II Wilson's friends are wise they will de-
cline all such proposals. Wilson has the
making in him of one of the hardest and
cleverest hitters in the country, but there
are a number of pointers which can be
taught him yet. The talk Of his partisans
about pitting him against anybody is fool
ish. He is young yet, needs development
in several particulars, and there are num-
Der of good men whom he can meet who
VIII exercise him in these shortcomings.
