Rob Northam, we learn from San
Francisco. has offered to back Tommy
Warren against any featherweight in the
world for 81, 900, and has deposited 500
forfeit in the hands of Ed. Fay, OF the
Grand Hotel, San Francisco. This is
decidedly plucky of His Grace of Ana.
helm, but we are not altogether sure OF
the prudence of the proposition. To be
sure, Tommy knocked out Jack Havlin,
but that bruiser was last week polished
off in a good deal less time than it took
Warren to wallop him, and there is no
getting around the fact that Tommy
fought very remarkably shy of facing
Ike Weir. Tommy may, and indeed
does, claim the championship OF the
world, but we doubt very much II ne
honestly believes that he is truly entitled
to it.
There ia some talk about getting La
Blanche and Dempsey together in San
Francisco, but we don't believe it will
come to anything. "The Marine" has
had all that he wants of Dempsey; and,
moreover, he is rapidly nearing the age
when the prudent among pugilists give
I'D the ring. When man gets beyond
80 he had better give up all athletic con-
tests and go to keeping what Tug"
Wilson termed "a bloomin' public" the
usual destiny Of an ex'pug.
Mulholand is training at Santa Monica
and Billy Manning at home. The latter
is attending strictly to business and get
ting in great shape. A San Francisco
sporting paper characterizes him as
''muscle- bound" but the epithet is de-
cidedly misapplied, for Billy is as quick
as flash and as active as cat. We
very much mistake if he does not give a
good account of himself when the time
comes.

While it is not absolutely certain that
there is bad blood, or an old grudge or
things, between Manning and Mulholland,
yet this much is certain, that they never
meet without looking CROSS eyed" at
each other.
A morning contemporary suggests Soto
as likely to make a good 90 with Warren.
He might, but we doubt it. Soto had
better tackle Jack Campbell before he
flies at higher game.

We hear little or nothing eaid now
about Ellingsworth's challenge to the
winner of the La Blanche-Lucie fight.
What is the reason?

The Los Angeles Athletic Club is max
ing capital progress in every direction,
and bids fair to take the banner place in
tie clubs of the Coast. The new build
ing which they have begun and which
will be built expressly for the purpose,
will decidedly outshine, both in archi-
tectural beauty and in consciousness.
ANYTHING of the kind this side OF the
Rockies. We are given to understand
that they do not propose to have any
very important events come off until the
building is completed. The next fight
which they will arrange, we are given to
understand, will be between crack mid
dleweights.

1t looks to the ordinary observer as il
Kilrain and Sullivan will certainly meet.
II thew do. and Sullivan let's booze alone
long enough to get in anything like his
old time shape, that mutual admiration
society of two-Mitchell and Kilrain-
will lose one of it's members, and
"Chawley' will have to blow the brag-
ging bazoo as soloist.

Sullivan told Nellie Bly,, the
World reporter, that he had made $780,
600 as prize-fghter and bully since the
spring Of 1882. 1t is we'll enough to
mention, however, that if Boston's pride
hadn't held up his hands and kept his
mouth shut after applyin vile name to
a Montana ranchman. his money making
career would have been cut short at
$125, 0O0.-[Stockton Mail.
