THE CHARGES AGAINST CAHILL.
Referring to the charges by the A. A. U.
against Z. Cahill, amateur champion boxer
of the United States, the Brooklyn Eagle of
July 18th says:
The action OF the Amateur Athletic Union in
the matter OF the charges against L. Cahill, the
mlddieweight champion boxer OF the United
States has brought a deal OF rign eOus iudlgna-
tiOn on the heads OF the Board OF Managers. A
number of mythical charges were made against
Cahill some time ago, and Benny Williams OF the
New York Athletic Cub was supposed TO be Dos
sessed OF knowledge that would, II published, end
IN the disqualification of the best aud most gem
tlemanly amateur sparler In the country. The
Board Of Managers Of the union appointed a
committee TO investigate the charges against
Cabill, and this committee reported at the meet
ing held at Washington July 10th, each member
recommending prompt reinstatement, and
MesSrs. GerOw, Curtis and Harder reported In
favor OF The reinSl atement, as nothing had been
proven against Cahill. The board simply referred
the report back to the Investigation committee
for further consideration. In view Of the fact
that the committee was unanimous In favor OF
reinstatement. the action OF the board would ap-
pear In the light OF farce, and II would seem 10
be their policy TO keep tue charges pending so
that Cahil Will be debarred from competing in
any contests.
The betting in New York has already be-
gun on the result of the Slavln- McAuliffe
fight. Adyices state that several wagers
have been laid at odds of 500 to $50 in Nc
Abilities favor. Under Queensberry rules,
the Californian will have many good ad-
vantages over his opponent, which he GER
| tainly would not have in London prize
ring.
A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer from
Baltimore says: Kilrain received a letter
from the Olympian Athletic Club of New
Orleans, asking if he could fight Ned Smith,
the Colorado Cyclone, for suitable purse.
He answered the latfar aOraaip0 IN
Smith under any conditions, provided the
purse exceeds $1,000.
The Columbian Athletic Club of New
Orleans has offered purse of $1,000 for a
fight between Tommy Warren and Ernest
Nj. BeScher. Warren replied that he would
fight Bescher when the latter gained repu-
tatiOn.
Brennan of Memphis has challenged
Tommy Danforth to fight at 100 pounds.
CARROLL AND BOWEN.
Jimmy Carroll and Andy Bowen have
been matched by the Olympic Club of New
Orleans TO fight to finish. Carroll has had
slight touch OF malaria since his arrival,
and unless he shakes it off very soon he
will come to this city to complete his train
ing. The following letter from cor
respondent will interest the readers of pu-
gllism:
