Breezy News Notes About the Doings of
Hudson County's PugiIists.
1t is understood that the real reason for
the fizzle of the fight arranged between
George Morasch and Bryan King is that
the latter claimed Morasch was ten
pounds over weight and consequently re-
fused to fight him. There is little hope
that the men will come together this sea-
son.
Commencing on Monday, August 26.
Jimmy Larkins, the 122-pound champion
pugilist of this city, and Johnny Carey,
the clever featherWeight, will spar one
week at the new sporting resort on WASH
ington street.
p. Hefferan, the light weight pugilist of
the Turkey Buzzard Athletic Association,
Of this city, says that he is willing to meet
''NeiP' Campbell or M. Rush in a finish
fight Marquis of Q%ueensbury rules, for
$50 a side, within three weeks of signing
articles. Hefferan claims the champion
ship of the Horseshoe"
Johnny Helms and Mike Kelly, both Of
this city. have been matched to fight to q
finish with two ounce gloves for $50 a side.
The battle will take place during the lat
ter part of this month.
Chappie Moran, the 1~05-pound pugilist
of this city, renews his challenge to fight
any los pound man in the world for $500 q
side and a purse, or for a 81, 900 purse only.
He will fight within six weeks. Chappie
would like to know where all. those l05
pound men are who were going to make
mincemeat of him when he got back from
his European trip. Only one of them has
had the courage to tackle him. That was
Donovan, and he was knocked out in
short order. Chappie can be found at
Prof. Harris boxing academy, No. 435
Grove street, at any time
Il C1---,r liz xryra nAal-A 1.,A 1A-A

been training for the coming seasons
fistic encounters. will DOL enter the ring
as a sparring partner of Chappie Moran.
Cal. MCCARTHY and joe EARLY, his
hacker, are negotiating with the hackers
of Johnny Murphy, of Boston, regarding
the best method of bringing together the
tie the lis pound championship of
Fred. Johnson, the claimant of the 122
Mound championship of England will soon
arrive in this country for the purpose of
having arranged a match between him
self and either Jimmy Larkins, of this
city, or Johnny Griffin, of Boston, for the
129 pound championship of the world.
Cal Mccarthy has not heard anything
of Johnny Murphy, the Boston bantam,
who made it SO lively for him for a couple
of rounds in the spring. Murphy did some
newspaper talking and then dropped out
OF sight. Cal has about made up his mind
that Murphy is afraid or else don't want
to meet him again, and unless he hears
from him soon he will pay no more atten-
ton to him. Cal will fight any T5-pound
mar in the world for a purse of $1,000 or
for 81, 900 a side, or as much more as any
one can get.
Jimmy Larkins, of this city. and Ike
O'Neil Weir, better known as the Belfast
Spider, will probably meet in this city
during the latter part of September in a
ten round glove contest. A battle be-
tween the pair would, without, doubt,
create much excitement IN pugilistic cir
Giles. as Larkins has been after Weir's
scalp for over two years past.
Chappie Moran expects to visit the
office of the Illustrated Meas, in New
York city, next Monday afternoon. and
deposit there a forfeit of 500 to be COW
cred by some one or more of the ambiti-
Ii young feather weights who have been
parading in print their willingness to
fight him. II no arrangements for a fight
are under way by October l, Chappie in
tends to leave at that date with Jimmy
Larkins and Prof. Hart for his promised
trip to California.
