ARRANGING FOR A FIGHT.
Mcmillan Wants to Meet Young and
Struggle for the Championship.
All Of the local sports are watching with much
interest the outcome Of the prize fight between
Billy Mcmillan. the English pugilist, and Pete
Lally of Baltimore. 1t will be remembered
that some months ago Mcmillan posted s1OO
with VIM. E. Harding Of the Police Gazette as .
forfeit to fight any 140-pound man in America,
Duffy preferred, for the welter-weight cham
pionship Of the United States This forfeit
was not covered, after remaining in Harding's
hands several months, and few days ago was
withdrawn.
x'MILAN AND THE wELTER-wEIaHT CHAMPION
SHIP.
There has been much talk about McMillan's
pionship, but under the rules Of the prize ring
he has Q perfect right, inasmuch as his chal-
lenge to fight the champion was not accepted,
as was the case with Kilrain, who claimed the
championship of the world when Sullivan re-
fused at first to fight him. A great many peo-
pie claim that Mcmillan was only bluffing;
nevertheless his forfeit was up and no one COW
cred it. Some time ago Pete tally, 14O-pound
man from Baltimore, who had once been de-
feated by Mcmillan, came to Washington and
tried to arrange matters. Mcmillan accepted
the challenge and forfeit was posted and COW
cred. In the meantime Billy Young, another
man from Baltimore, came on and acknowledged
his willingness to dispute the claim of the well
ter-weight championship, which Mcmillan held
by Dufy's failure to accept his challenge, and
tried to fix things so that he could have Ego"
with Mcmillan. The fight with Lally was still
ON and his challenge could not be accepted.
When the time arrived for Lally to make good
his deposit he didn't show up, and, Mcmillan
thinking that he had forfeited, went to look
for Young. Now Young's mother had died in
the meantime and his hackers, although will
ing to back their man. thought that her death
would prevent a meeting 30 that fell through.
Several days ago Lally came to the front
with the balance Of his forfeit money and
match between Mcmillan and himself was ar
ranged and both men went into active train
ing. Now comes along Young, ready and anx-
ious for fight. Mcmillan was bound up and
couldn't accept his challenge on account of his
engagement with Lally. There seems to be
considerable bad blood between Mcmillan and
Young and the sportsmen seem especially anx-
ious to have them meet
M'MILLAN AND LALLY AGREE.
Lally, on the other hand, also expresses a
willingness to fght Young, provided Mcmillan
is willing to release him from his engagement.
This Mcmillan at first refused to do, but last
night agreed to waive all rights, provided Lally
would do the same. Lally at once agreed to
this and today sent the following challenges

Just what will result from these two chal-
lenges is not known, but it is believed that
rangements will be made at an early day.
WHAT M'MILLAS SAYS.
Mcmillan, speaking to STAR reporter upon
the subject of fight with Young and the rea-
son he had not met him before, said:
"The public wants to know why don't fight
Billy YoungS 1t is this Any one who watched
the papers the last four months saw that had
800 forfeit up in Mr.. w. E. Harding's hands
from the 18th of April until the Goth Of July to
fight any 140-pound man in America, Paddy
Duffy preferred. Articles were sent on to Duffy
several times to sign, but he wouldn't fight. I
gave him every chance. even agreed to go to
Boston. was willing to fight for 81 900 side.
Some people thought couldn't get the back
ing. but that made no difference; my 800 for
felt was there for Duffy or any one else to win
if 1 couldn't find the remaining amount. As
every one knows Duffy refused to accept my
challenge and by SO doing forfeited the welter-
weight championship. prefer to fight for il
myself. Now, Pete Lally was the first to come
to the front, but / told him to wait few DAYS,
could get the backing. l soon heard
that Young was willing and
made date to meet Young's hackers and put
up the forfeit for $500 a side and a purse.
When 1 showed up at the hour with my money
Young had leftthe city and his hackers wouldn't
put up. / then gave up the idea of meeting
Young at present and gave Lally a chance. He
certainly has right TO it, because many people
were dissatisfied at the decision at the last fight
between us and were anxious to see another go.
don't think could fight q cleverer man for
the championship. Now he has waived his
right to fight me 90 that may give Young q
chance, and as you have my challenge you
know mean business. To tell you the truth,
am more than anxious to meet Young and sin
cerely trust that we may yet arrange a fight
shall wait for him until Monday night At the
end Of that time. il he doesn't show up, my
fight with Lally will take place."
ACQUISITION OF WEIGHT.
The only question that arises is whether
Young will allow Mcmillan to fight at 140
pounds. 1t u certain that Young wants 60.
He told STAR reporter SO several days ago.
He said that he was anxious to meet Mcmillan
and was confident that he could whip him.
Young 10 net to be deprecated He is a clever
sparrer, heavy hitter and a good slayer II
Is certain that il the men ever come together
those who witness the battle will see lively
contest.
