Gus Guerrero, the swift-footed Span
lard who has a record of 62l miles in 142
hours, will enter the Minneapolis pc des-
trian contest, which will open in Wash
ington rink ON the 18th of next month,
and he has issued challenge which
will serve, if accepted, TO make the Min
neapolls race notable one. During
the past week a six-day go-as-you-
please race has been in progress at
st. Louis. Guerrero has issued to the
winner of that contest a challenge for
SiX-day race for 5000 side, the win
ner of the st. Louis match to meet
Guerrero on the sawdust at Minneapo-
lis. The challenge will undoubtedly be
accepted, and the battle between the
footmen will be fought out at Washing
ton rink. The making of this match
insures red-hot race here. But with
out it. the Minneapolis contest could
not fail to be exciting. With such men

gle on the oval cannot help being warm
and exciting. Jan. 25 is the date an
nounced for the start.
The Twin City Athletic club has ar
ranged another boxing match which
cannot fail to please the members of the
club. Last night Dick Moore, of Min
neapolis. and Charley Kemmic, of st.
Paul, met at the club and signed arti-
cles for bout to take place OH the even
ing of the 22d of January. The men will
weigh at noon on the day of the meet
ing 40, give Or take two pounds. Of
the ring abilities of the two Young men
it is unnecessary to speak. Both are
known in the Twin Cities and both have
been found to be clever men. Moore
has improved wonderfully in the past
year, as evidenced by his easy defeat of
Jimmy Griffin couple of weeks ago.
He is clever with his hands, strong and
game. Kemmic has a reputation all
over the Northwest as hard hitter and
whirlwind fighter. The match should
prove good one.
The Black Pearl and George Peters,
Of Detroit, will meet for sure in Febru-

self, it was feared that Peters would not
accept. AS the days went by without
bringing a reply from Peters, it became
almost certainty. Then the Pearl
made match with Frank Glover, for
st. Paul. But the arrangements be-
tween him and the Chicago man have
fallen through, and yesterday Manager
Catharin, of the L. G. A. c., received a
telegram from Peters, in which the
Pearls conditions were accepted. There
is no longer any doubt but that the two
colored men will face each other in the
squared circle and the contest will be a
''corker." The Pearl will undoubtedly
have the hardest match of his life. But,
despite Peters cyclone style of fighting
and power to administer severe punish
ment with either hand, there are not a
few Minneapolis sports who will put
