san francisco pugllists have discarded the
scale OF weights, which were regulated purposely
10 classify prize-hgnters. II two pugs meet now
TO arrange match dispute Instantly arises as
10 weight. If II happens that one man is half
pound heavier than his opponent, the lighter
man insists on coming 10 weight. Clubs should
sit down on this type of puglllss and Insist that
they fight according TO class weight, whatever 1t
may be- light, middle or heavy.

SULLIVAN TOUCHED UP.
The Boston Herald touches up sullivan bit,
as Will be seen by the following story:
p II was soon after Johns return from New York
that the Incident described below took place. OF
course the champions many friends were not
going TO allow him to stay at home after spending
the winter in New York, and one evening about
month ago they induced him to visit sundry places
where cornwall friends were to be found.
There was plenty OF fun, and the big fellow had
accepted the homage as due.
He enjoyed himself hugely until he caught his
iair companion carrying on desperate Irritation
with gallant Jimmy Doherty of this city. Then his
dander arose. He interposed strong and conyinc-
ing argument IN the shape OF straight rght-hander.
II caught Doherty the jaw and lifting him from
his feet dashed him violently against the wall
10 shake the whole room. The conclusion knocked
large mirror from the wall, and Doherty was al
most buried in the wreck. Doherty afterward told
his friends that he felt though he had been struck
by locomotive, and il required more than the al
lotted ten seconds for him to regain his senses But
| the trouble did not end here Doherty had imbibed
| Just enough recklessnesS to make him blind the
consequences OF footing with Sullivan. He scram-
bled from the wreck of the mirror little unsteady,
10 De sure. but smiling in spite OF his aching jaw
Nobody dreamed that he would care to continue
| the argument, but they didn't know him. Stepping
| up TO sullivan he remarked quietly: "You didn't
mean TO do that, did you, JOhn?' Then before the
champion could reply Doherty swung his right and
caught the Dig fellow squarely between the eyes.
sullivan was taken completely of his guard and the
temerity of the youth staggered him as much as did
the blow. Then he cleared the decks for action. HI
was thoroughly aroused and would have made
Doherty pay dearly for that blow II he could have
| caught him. Half dozen young men and women
threw themselves In front of Sullivan and held him
BACK until Doherty, SObered by his foolhardi-
ness, could get out OF the room. 1t was a long time
| before sullivan could be pacffied AID even now
Doherty takes the other side of the street nen he
sees the big fellow approaching. IL is said that
sulliVan's eyes were somewhat darker in color for
several days after that little incident. That
at least. is given as the reason OF his temporary
withdrawal from society during the last week in
