heavy. middle and feather-weight pugilism.
Jimmy Collins the Pittsburg boy,
weighs 1872 poundS-sX pounds more than
Warren, and looks every ounce of it, as he
is compactly built, with heavy neck and
shoulders. If his face is any index to his
character, he will have some difficulty in
cOmprehending when he is whipped. He
has Won the five battles in which he has
fought. In three of them he was victori-
Gus in the first round 1t is related OF him
that in a recent fight in Michigan his an
tagoniSt gave him good one in the mouth
which had the effect of looSening three
teeth Collins pulled them out threw them
down on the ground and then sailed in and
won the fight.
Warren has been in training for two
weeks past at Bader's. Lake Calhoun. and
Collins, who arrived last Monday, is
staying at Chapmans, Lake Minnetonka
A great many have visited these resorts for
the purpose of seeing the pugilsts hit the
ball, " and pronounce them both firSt-clasS
Warren'S reputation of course makes him
the faYOIito, but many think Collins stands
a good show to win to-mOrrows match,
which is for eight rounds, $500 a side and
the entire receipts. Cardiff and Donaldson
Will also give all exhibition.

Jerry Murphy, the lightweight champion
OF the Northwest, wants to meet Warren,
and the latter processes to be willing to &C.
cOmmOdate him provided Murphy will
train to 1875 pounds As it will re-

match will probably not take place

Patsey Cardiff has emulated the example
of John l.. Sullivan, Paddy Ryan and
other eminent sluggers and has gone into
the saloon business. This looks as though
he does not intend to enter the ring again
at present, as saloons are perhaps not the
best training places for athletes. Cardiff
has virtually refused to meet Killen and
Herald on the score that they have not ac-
quired sufficient reputation TO merit his ma
jeStic attention.
~
Herald. who is heralded by his hacker,
Z. Z. Mallahan, as the coming man, has
offered to meet Sullivan, Mitchell, Burke
Cardiff and others and they have always
worked the reputation" racket on him.
John Donaldson has intimated that rather
than have Herald go hungry for gore
he will either meet him. or get him a
match if he will come to Minneapolis
Herald's manager is now considering the
proposition, and it is quite likely that an
other 'champion" Will soon be on the
ground to contest the honors with any of
'em.
Karkeek is the suggestive name of a
wrestler living near Madison, Wis, whom
Mike BreSlauer claims is soon to be the
champion of the world. He easily threw
Sorakichi, the Jap. in his own styles and
is. to meet Evan Lewis in a match in which
strangling and wrenching Of limbs will be
allowed. He, too, is to come to Minneap-
oils. the Mecca of sports.

goth inst, two mounted sword combats will
take place at Calhoun park Lake Calhoun,
between Duncan C.. Ross. the champion
Scotch athlete, and Sergt. Charles Walsh
of the Eighth Missouri mounted infantry.
A meeting here of these two noted swords
men has been much talked of, and Messrs
MOulton and Wallace have succeeded in
making arrangements for the contests as
above. The afternoon combat will conf
mence at $3.50 and the evening at $50
o'clock. The grounds will be lighted by
electric lights, making them as bright as
day. Ladies and children can attend this
sport. as there is nothing Objectionable and
much to excite and amuse.

This afternoon Minneapolis and ST. Paul
will meet on the diamond at Minneapolis.
1t is confidently expected the home team
will be greeted by rousing crowd to well
come it home from its trip, in which the
boys covered themselves with glory, The
team made the leading record of the week,
playing six games and winning four. ST.
Paul won three out of five, and the teams
are both in fighting trim. The game will
undoubtedly be good one and closely con-
tested, and as both teams will play new
men the best crowd OF the season is eX-
pected. The game will not be called until
4:1O p. H., to enable the players to obtain a
full nights rest, leaving for Minneapolis by
