a match has finally been arranged
between John L. Sullivan and Joe Nc.
Aulifle, the heavyweight from the
Pacific Slope. Last Saturday night
Billy Madden, Jimmy Wakely and Phil.
Lynch met In New York sporting re-
sort and arranged the match between
the giants. The match has been talked
VI for some time, but IL was not until
Saturday that any definite conclusion
was reached. IL was agreed that the
fight should be for 5000 a side with
light gloves, under Queensberry rules
Lynch put up $500 In Wakeley's hands
as forfeit for Sullivan. and Billy Mad
den did the same for McAuliffe. Wake
ley was selected as stakeholder. The
fight will take place in August, and
some point In Texas or Virginia will be
the battle ground If the Virginia
Athletic Club will guarantee safety
from police interference the match will
be brought of there, as II will be most
too warm In Texas TO have any sort Of
a contest as this during August.
OF course Sullivan will be the favor
ite In this match, but the Mission boy
has lots of friends who think he Is the
man Of all others 10 do the big fellow.
When II Is remembered, however, that
he made losing fight against Peter
jackson his chances do not seem so
good. He IS bigger than Sullivan and
a fairly good boxer, but according TO
the best judges Is not In II with the
BostOuian. In conversation with Jack
Dempsey several years ago the writer
asked him his opinion Of Sullivan as
scientific fighter. "He IS the best man in
that respect that ever put up his hands,
said Jack. II have watched him time
and again to see whether there was
anything in the story that his superior
weight carried him through, and |
never yet failed TO see him give a scien-
titc exhibition with the gloves that
was not remarkable. He Is by long odds
the cleverest big man in the business.
Dempsey's opinion is worth consider
able, for prior 10 his defeat by La
Blanche, which many believe was an
accident, he stood al the head of the
few scientific fighters OF the world.
DACEY AND HOPPER MATCHED.
The challenge that Billy Dacey IS
sued in this city two weeks ago, has
been accepted by Jack Hopper, and
the men have signed articles for a finish
fight. II will take place at the Puritan
Athletic Club Of Long Island City
within four weeks, for a purse Of
81 600, Of which the loser win receive
800. The men will tight at l33 pounds
with four-ounee gloves, and, as each
has been after the other scalp for some
time, Tattling good go should result
LOCAL FIGHTERS TALKING.
Mike Raedy said yesterday that he
had been unable to make a match with
George NOrhedge. My backeT has
been 10 see him several times, but has
never been able 10 get any satisfaction
Ia my opinion he does not want 10 ight
any more, and so ! DO not believe we
viii ever get together. III We do / am
satisfied / can defeat him
Ed Roach viii meet D0miniCk Ne
Cafrey in a fOur-Tound 60 al Herman S
70 night and Billy Young viii have a
set.tO with Jack Hopper. There was
some talk Of arranging match between
the latter pair, but since Hopper has
signed TO fight Dacey, such am event Is
cut Of the question. The exhibition TO-
night, however, viii give those who
wanted % see the men meet au 0p-
pGFtuuity 10 see some lively work.
