GLOVES AND FISTS.
Billy Murphy and Jimmy Lar
kins VIII Be Matched.
La Blanche Will Arrive To-Day-Davies Going
East for Wrestlers-Sullivan and
McAuliffe Interviewed.

The Directors OF the California Club had q
very prolonged meetlDg last evening and good
deal OF business was transacted that was not for
publication
AdyIces from La Blanche were that he will be
here to- day and will go into immediate training
for his fight with Young Mitchell, which will
take place on the goth inst.
La Blanche, prior to his departure for the
East, put up $3.50 as forfeit with his opponent
that he would be at weight-154 pounds-on the
evening OF the battle. When he fosght Jack
Dempsey he entered the ring at 161 pounds,
consequently he Will have TO work like
a Trojan for the next four weeks 10
reduce to the weight he must fight Mitchell
al, He certainly Will not have much time to
fool away, and many people are inclined to think
that he will not be able to make 1t, as he is not
partial to laborious exercise. However, time
will tell tie tale.
The Directors will In all probability have a
meeting In July between Billy Murphy and
Jimmy Larklns OF Jersey City. The purse will
be $500, which is acceptable TO both men.
THEY WERE "AsToNIsHED."
There was quite discussion on the decision
rendered by Patsy Hogan ON the evening OF May
29tb, IN reference 10 the Murphy-Graney fight.
The club seemed to believe that the contest was
nothing more than preliminary bout between
The contestants, and The officers were surprised
TO learn that it was really "a go" In its merits.
However much surprised the Directors might
have been The parapnernaa used by pugiiists
who tight to finish was produced on this occasion
and a referee was chosen TO decide the match
In the preliminary which preceded The amateur
vs. professional contest there was no referee
sponges, towels. etc. to administer "sooIning
syrup TO the contestants ut the finish OF each
round. Notwithstanding the establishment" a
resolution was passed by the Directors in refer
ence to H0gans decision, which reads:
Resolved That the decision of Referee Hogan on
the four-round contest between Billy Murphy and
Ed Creamy. on the evening 4h Nay 59th be and the
that the contest was between professional and an
amateur and that 1t never was the intention or the
club that decision should be rendered. and that in
taking this action there is no reflection intended
any manner upon the integrity OF Referee Hogan
in rendering his decision.
A cynical member OF the club stated that il
had been the desire of the Directors to hold
Murphy in San Francisco for another match, ana
that Notwithstanding their profound "astonish-
ment" at Hogan's decision il had the desired
eifecr, and Murphy Will not now sail for Aus
tralia by the next steamer as had been his ill.,
1entlon.
AFTER wREsTLERs.
Parson Davies intends to leave for the East In
few days. He proposes TO return to this city
with Even Lewis, the wrestler, who will meet all

takes pleasure In showing 1t to his acquant-
auceS.
Choynski Will leave for the springs to-day to
be gone three weeks.
The proposed wrestling match between Joe
Acton and d. Mcleod has fallen through. The
Litter, II appears, was unable to raise The neces-
sary amount OF coin 10 suit the champion.
A contest between "Black Pearl" The Mime
apolis middle weight pugilist and Charley Tur-
ner of Stockton would be a battle worth seeing.
The former has proven himself TO be game, SCI
entiic fighter who is not afraid OF any man in
his class. He has good record.
The entries for tile Sheffield handicap, which
will be run: next Sunday at Central PARK, will
close next Friday evening, and al those WHO in

The New York Sun must have been somewhat
surprised when II learned by telegraph the result
Of the McCeery- Schaefer billiard match On
May 18th that paper said:
"McCieery, the California wonder. Is said to be
In great shape for his match with Jake Schaeler
aud his friends claim that the Wizard Will find
he has bucked up against the wrong man before
The match Is ended"
The billiard match reminded many OF the spec.
tators of the DoIt-raee between Peterson and
UConnOr. Tie formers friends were confident
That Pete would win without struggle. Me-
Cleery's friends were confident that no one could
give him discount, but now they think differ
emily.
Before Kelliher took peg off Charley Turner's
record the latter had a very good opinion of
himself He was gradually forging ahead and
was looked upon as The coming champion mid
dle-wesht. Since his defeat Turner has used
very good Judgment Il picking his opponents.
He heard OF Fiizsimmons and The easy manner
IN which lie polished of McCaTthy. He was
asked if lie would tight him and answered by
telegra h No" Charley is becoming wise.
The Sportsmens Protective Association will
meet this evening In X. X. b. Hall aud the See
retary desires II stated that the names of all de-
linquent members Will be scratched off the roll.
Several sporting clubs have gone to pieces on ac-
count Of nou- payment OF dues. and II the above
II must insist on tile members paying up their
indebtedness.

strong fav0rite IN The betting.

to his oftrepeated assertion that McAuliffe
could whip the champion in finish fight.
Lynch differed with Madden, and offered TO
back Sullivan 10 fight McAune for $4,000 "a
side.
To prove that business was meant, Lynch
handed $500 10 Wakely as first deposit. Mad
den also posted $500 Oh behalf OF McAuliffe and
the match was made. Wakely asked Lynch IL
lie was aware that Sullivan would fight for that
amount or II he knew that the champion would
be well enough or free to fight when called upon.
Lynch said that he was willing to risk the cOnse-
quences TO prove that he had unlimited faith in
Sulliyans ability TO whip. any man living. Lynch

Ing day and apprised him of what he had DONE
He also asked Sullivan If he was willing to meet
McAuiife for tile amount named. Up TO last
