MCCARTHY AND DIXON.
Cal Mccarthy and George Dixon, the col
ored electromagnetic pugiiSt, are neg0tat-
Ing for return match, which, ii conSum-
mated, will decide the championship of the
Whau tbas two oil fyhta at
before the contest was declared a draw
after seventy rounds had been fought.
A few weeks after the battle Dixon in
formed Mccarthy that he would give MIN a
return fight, Whenever he was prepared to
sign articles, with skin gloves for 5000
side, but the New jersey bantam gave
no reply to the offer.
Dixon's recent triumphs in this country
and England have caused Mccarthy to feel
envious OF the colored pugihst's successes
and TO redeem his lost prestige Mccarthy
signed articles few DAYS ago to fight Dixon
before the Puritan Athletic Club of Long
Island which has offered a purse of $1,000
for so between them.
A HITCH IN THE ARTICLES.
There is, ho Sever. a hitch in the articles
signed by the white pugiSt, which may
meet with opposition sfom his coffee cOlOred
opponent Mccarthy wants to weigh in ten
hours before the hght which virtually means
au increase to his advantage of five or six
pounds in weight from the time of weighing
up TO the time he enters the ring.
DixOn's hacker emphatically objects to
this scheme, stating that a move OF this
kind is not in accordance with Queensberry
rules. He is willing to concede Mccarthy
every thing he asks for, except the time of
weighing in, which must be at furthest
One hour before entering the ring.
The general opinion of Eastern sporting
men is that Mccarthy has had all he wants
of Dixon, and the present move he has
made regarding the time of weighing is only
a ruse by which 10 crawl out of fight, and
thereby save his reputation.
