THE SpORTSMAN,S NICHE.
Pugiitsts Skipping to Canada.
Races and Baseball.


New YORK, July ia sporting extra
this evening prints an item to the effect
that Charlie Mitchell, the English pugil-
ist, with Mike Donovan, has skipped to
Canada. Rather than run the risk of
arrest in this city, where he has few
friends among sporting men who would
help him out of pinch, he decided to
cross over into her Majesty's dominion.
When Mitchell arrived from the West
on Monday, he went, in company with
Frank Stevenson it is said, to the law
office of Peter Mitchell. The two were
soon closeted with the lawyer, and in the
conversation that followed Mitchell's
fears of arrest we're fully stated. On
Tuesday he kept well under cover await
ing developments. The arrival of
Detective Norris with requisition
from Governor Lowry, Of Mississippi,
increased Mitchell's fears, and another
secret visit was paid to his counsel.
When it was learned beyond doubt
that Norris was bent upon arresting the
trainer of Kilrain, and that the New
York police were assisting him, Mitch
ell's fears were undisguised. He saw in
prospect long term of imprisonment in
strange country, and decided to leave,
which he has done.
SULLIVAN IN NEW YoRK-DRUNK AS USUAL.
John L. Sullivan arrived at the Penn
sylvania depot at Jersey City by the
| limited express at 8 O'Clock tonight.

van was intoxicated.
