Sullivan and Corbett,

1t may be surprise to many people to learn
that there is probability of glove contest
between James ]. Corbett, big and young
Californian, and John L. Sullivan. However
surprising it may be it is a fact. Efforts are
being made to bring them together, and within
a very short time we may hear of the pair
being in front of each other 1 hardly know
how to value the proposed encounter in ques-
tion. Whether not it is intended to b.
merely for the money there is in it or partl;
for money and partly for glory, l don't know
If the contest were to take place in about two
or three weeks time would be very much
disposed to think that none only was the D.
ject. Certainly, under any circumstsnc-
money would be thl great object. but there is
such thing as money being not only the great
but the only object. At any rate. there will be
purse worth fighting for, and II a divide" is
not arranged victory will be worthy of a great
struggle. l don't think Sullivan would meet
Corbett under any other conditions than to
''do or die" and were they to meet don't see
he be bea i-n. Now don't for one moment
put CorbG: in the same class of pugilists as
Sullivan. As have said before, he may be
fghte of first-cla's kind, and he may not.
something of the McCaffrey STYLE which is
good recommendation as far as it goes. He is
big powerful young fellow, and he insists
on fighting Sullivan with gloves about four
rounds within two weeks. If ever Corbett had
the best of bargain he would have it under
the conditions he Names Providing the stage
or ring is the regulation size, fail to see how,
under the above conditions boxer like Cor
bett could have any the worst of it in a four
round encounter. Two weeks from now Sullivan
would scarcely have the taste of the intoxicat-
ing beverage out of his mouth; he would
scarcely be able to keep his wind to walk round
for four rounds, let alone fight. He would have
mostly to depend on Corbett's venturing near
enough to receive one of those blows that have
hoored bigger men than Corbett in glove con-
tests But 1t would not be very difficult mat
ter for COTbett to keep clear of cyclones for
four rounds. Dominick McCaffrey kept Sulli-
van going nearly seven rounds and it seems
that Corbett is about in the same class as
boxer as Mccartney If contest between Sui
livan and Corbett is arranged to take place
within two weeks or thereabouts / think the
latter will be one of the luckiest of pugi-
lists or boxers In the event of a contest |
would not be surprised to see Corbett still in
the ring at the end of the four rounds and that
would mean any amount of wealth for him.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-04-06
Another Feature of II.

But if Sullivan agrees to meet Corbett as
early as has been conjectured we may ask why
did he not allow similar terms to Jackson? 1
have an answer to this. Sullivan and his
friends must either think that Jackson is much
superior to Corbett or else the proposed contest
between Sullivan and Corbett is merely
money-making scheme. l am disposed to think
that the former is the true cause. But more
questions suggest themselves. If Corbett is
willing to meet Sullivan why does he hesitate
to notice the very plain and definite challenge
of Joe McAuliffe? Surely if Corbett has any
chance with Sullivan he ought to have some
what of an easy time of it with McAuliffe
The latter is very anxious, indeed, to meet Cor
bett, and if ever they meet l think the hero of
New Orleans will have a little more in hand
than he can manage And kilrain also wants
to face Corbett again. Why won't the latter
accommodate the present prisoner? All these
features prompt one to think that the affairs of
modern pugilism are very, very queer. Corbett
can secure matches with many men who are
inferior to Sullivan if he wants to have battle
for money and glory

La Blanche. The Dodger.

Finally George La Blanche has been matched
but not with Jack Dempsey, and this is not
very hard to understand. La Blanche has been
matched to fight HeTget Young Mitchell, as
he is called, and this will keep Dempsey and
La Blanche away from each other for this year
probably. The fact that La Blanche has
agreed to fight Herget after persistently re.
fusing to make match with Dempsey goes to
show that La Blanche has some dread of the
NonpareI In my opinion it means that Ia
Blanche is of the opinion that Dempsey is a
better man that himself In other words La
Blanche is a veritable dodger and has lodged
Dempsey so long that the sporting public must
now be convinced that the very last man he de-
sIres to meet is Jack Dempsey. What the re-
suit of the La Blanche Mitchell contest will be
don't at this juncture intend to try aud pre-
dict, but in all fairness to La Blanche we must
admit that he is game and plucky fellow
Young Mitchell is quite pugilist himself, but
he must needs be to hold his own with such a
resolute and strong man as the Marine. Young
Mitchell is clever boxer, but he is inferior
to Dempsey and this is much in favor of La
Blanche, because have always been of opinion
that La Blanche can almost defeat any man of
his weight who is no ceverer than himself.
dempsey, OF course wants to fight the winner,
but there is another man, if victorious in his
battle, who will want to meet the winner. re-
Ter to Reddy Gallagher who is to fight Billy
McCarthy, who was defeated by Dempsey late
ly- Ii Gallagher defeats Mccarthy 1t would be
an interesting event were he and Dempsey to
fight.
Tournament Needed,
But it seems to me that kind Of tournament
is needed to determine who is middle-weigbt
champion pugilist of America. There certain
ly never was such stock of middle-weights in
this country before, and each one aspires to
championship honors. Here is a list: Jack
Fogarty, Pat Farrell, Reddy Gallagher La
Blanche, Young Mitchell, Jack Demnsey and
Billy Mccarthy. The latter of course has
been beaten by Dempsey, but he is still full of
aspiration yet. To the above list we may add
