A despatch from st. Louis. printed in a.
morning paper yesterday, besides aunounc-
ing that the police would not allow Charley
Mitchell aud Jake kilrain to spar IN the Nata-
tolium, said that while Mitchell was in the
Southern Hotel he came out strong against
Mr.. Fox. referring to him in the most forci-
bic language 1t also stated that rumors had
It that Kilrain and Mr.. Fox had fallen out.
Dispatches from st. Louis also state that
Mitchell has telegraphod q challenge to Pres
ident Fulda. of the California Athletic
Club, in the interest of kllrain, TO
fight Peter jackson for the purse of SO, 900
offered by the club. That there are many
complications i'll the relations between MIR.
Fox and Jake and Charley no one doubts, and
most every one believes that these are ut the
bottom of the position Mr.. Fox has taken re-
garding the Kilrain. Sullivan match. Mr..
Fox undoubtedly has good grounds for any
action he may take for he has too much at
stake and is too deeply interested in his work
of promoting sports to be influenced by
trihing matters. 1t has been frequently said
that Mitchell dislikes Mr.. Fox because the
latter will not again attempt TO carry, MN
along financially, besides boosting ,kilrain;
II il cost Mr.. Fox 1923, 600 to carry Mitchell
and Kilrain in their work of preparing
Jake for his fight with Jem Smith,
MIR. Fox cannot be blamed for not
wanting to lay himself liable to this e1-
declared that he will not cut loose from the
care and Friendship of Mitchell and the re-
ported challenge to jackson, made, as 1t Is.
to be of more importance TO kilrhin than his

the rumors of Kllrain's split with MIR. FOX
have some foundation. Sullivan stands
ready to meet kilrain's representative and
sign articles of agreement for their match,
and his representatives, the prcprietors of
the Illustrated Mems. have tried to not notify
Kilrain of this but up to date have failed.
Sullivan will be IN town in a few DAYS, and
so may Kilrain and Mitchell. Their visit
will probably throw some light on the course
the great match will take.
The date of the billiard tournament which
Is promised Tor next month has not yet been
fixed. because the foreign players have not
been heard from. Messrs. sexton, Slosson

the matter all their attention, and say that
none of the jealousy charged to billiard
players will crop out to, spoil the plans tor
the tourney. 1t is intended to awaken u new
interest i'll billiards throughout the country,
and will probably succeed in its object.
