Frank Glover and Patsey Cardiff to box fol
the state championship and $3.50 side, the
contest to be limited to five or six rounds.
The glove contest between Charles Nit
chell and Mike Cleary will not probably
take place. as was intended, on the 22d al
San Francisco. Neither men are likely to
be in condition.
Ben Arthurs, the pugilist, is in Winni-
peg, Man. He will not challenge McKeown
to another contest, as reported, but may
spar Billy Hawkins for financial cQnsid-
Grafton.
1t will be remembered that Tom Devine,
the pugilist, had bare-knuckle fight with
Tom DAWN in room on Sixth avenue
south, Minneapolis, last winter, of which
there were but few spectators. Devine
won the battle. 1t is not very generally
known, but it is true, nevertheless, that
Devine had another bare-knuckle fight on
Friday night, in which he was also vic
tOrious. The latter contest occurred on
Washington avenue, and only lasted two
rounds, when Devine had his adverSary's
eyes entirely closed.
Patsy Mellen is in active training to meet
Glover of Chicago in five-round soft-glove
contest in this city on Wednesday evening
