P%rTTsBURG. April 25.-It was stated
on reliable authority tonight that the
English p~ugllist, Jem Smith, is the man
whom Dominick McCaffrey is to fight.
The contest will not take place before
July, and is to be ten rounds with small
gloves allowed by law. The articles of
agreement have already been signed, but
the place for the contest has not yet been
definitely stated. Smith will arrive in
New York early in June, and will be ac-
companied by several prominent English
sporting men. McCaffery, who is in the
city, refused to afim or deny the story,
but nevertheless it is known to be true.
In an interview he stated that Sullivan
had made a mistake in issuing a chal-
lenge to fight in a sixteen foot ring, as it
was an admission that he is unable to
hold the championship in the old regula-
tion STYLE
