The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-12-04

| ritZSulliuOuS was asked Dy Dlrecu0r Oh
the Occidental Club q few days ago if he
would fight the winner of the La Blanche
and Greggains' mill and, wi thout the least
hesitancy he said that if Greggains would
prove to be the winner he would return
and fight him. Fitz refused to meet La
Blanche because the latter had been whip
ped by Young Mitchell.
1t is said that the Olympic Club will try
and devise some plan by which it hopes to
| remove from the ranks of the boxing ele-
ment certain sewers Of discord, who have
| been trying to induce the bona-fide amateurs
| to strike for big prizes, such as gold
watches. cha ms, diamond lockets. etc, prior
to their participating in any of the clubs
| tournaments.
| A CATCH-PENNY AFFAIR.
| There is no betting on the Woods Choyn-
ski fight to speak Of A few private wagers
| were laid yesterday at $40 to So in favor of
| Choynski. The Pacific Club has been try
ing to sell tickets for the match, but sports
do not care to invest even the sum of So 80
for the privilege of witnessing match
which they say will be an altogether one
| sided affair.
George La Blanche, the midde-weight pu-
| glllst who is matched to fight Greggalns at
the Occidental Club on the 18th inst, ar
| rived from Salt Lake yesterday morning.
The Marine had ten-round go last Thurs
| day with pugilist named Williams, and ac-
| corning TO the Salt Lake papers the people
| lett the hall disguised with La Blanche's
| way Of fighting
1t has been remarkable fact that, with
the exception OF the star pugilists of the lilli-
putian class OF scrappers, the boxing..ciubs of
| this city have invariably fallen behind in
| their receipts whenever they had entertain
| mentS between sec0nd-class bantam, feather
ana iight weight pugs, especially those of
| local fame.
LITTLE BoY-FIGHTERs.
Some of the professional slogging-clubs
may get themselves into peck of trouble
| IL they continue to induce young boys to
| enter their rooms on fight nights for the
purpose OF entertaining the members. The
latter. with few exceptions. are strongly op-
| posed to the introduction of these young
lads, some of whom are not more than II
| years OF age. There is an ordinance against
! Youngsters OF a certain age being out after
| o'clock at night, This law is Intended to
check vice among the youth of the city and
between the saloon and the slogging-club
| the latter Is the greater breeder of evils.
Something should certainly be done to pre-
vent lights among boys in club-rooms
| Inc California CLUB has telegraphed Jake
| kilraln an offer to meet the winner of the
| ChoSnski-WOod fight. KilTain will be wise
enough to accept the proposition il the con-
| sideration is at all favorable. Jake would
make good showing against joe although
the latter Is by far the more scientific
| pugilist.
| SULLIVAN soBERED.
John L. Sullivan did not remain long In
| the company of Bacchus. He suddenly
| realized that unless he took in reef quickly
| he would be left stranded in this city. The
manager OF the company of which Sullivan
| is the magnetic star threatened he big fell
low that unless he broke away from Suli-
| van punches and became strictly sober the
company would dlsband and leave the cham
| plon to play his part in the drama of which
| he knows so little, entitled Honest Labor
and Unwilling Dollars"
! The following special cable was received
| at New York:
| LONDON, Nov 24.-Fred Johnston, the feather
weight champion. states II George Dixon VIII
not hight him for $1,000 and purse of e6O0 the
| National Club offers he Will go 10 America and
! night Dixon in any American club that viii guar.
| VIII also bet $1,000 and allow him expenses IL
| Dixon does not accept these terms, Johnston
VIII meet any man In Ihe world upon the same
| terms.
THE CoUBsING MEN.
The Golden West Coursing Club had a
| meeting last evening and voted to take 800
| from its treasury which will be added to the
entTance-mOney for an alleged, Cons olation

BINNEY WILL GO HOME.
Blnney, the chocolate scrap er from Bos-
ton who defeated Martin, 1.-The Black Pearl"
at the California Club few evenings ago,
will leave for his Boston home to-day with
his winnings, which amounted to $3.50,
less the expenses deducted by the club for
MS passage TO this city. In conversation
with friend last evening Binney said that
he had received several invitations from the
famous social organization on Third street
known as the Lotus Club, to visit the head
quarters and partake of the CLUBS hospital
| ity. II spent lew evenings there with
some of my friends" said Binney, land
could have enjoyed myself hugely, L guess,
| had 1t not been for the fact that my ex-
chequer was completely exhausted. 1 did
not, however. stand as high in the estima-
ponenf, Mr. Martin; but, strange to say,
after l had defeated Mr.. Martin nothing
was too good for me; in fact it was suggested
that II desired to become member of the
knights OF the green cloth | would certainly
| be elected by mere application.
HIS COLOR NOT HIGH ENOUGH.
81 politely declined the several kind In
| yitauons, after which n committee called
| upon me with instructions from the SUI
peri0r oincer to report that it was custom
airy Tor al! cnlored gentlemen representing
| the theatrical and pugilistic professions to
| give banquet at the club in the event of
their success in a pugilstic or theatrical
way. and that as had won great battle
over another member of very high standi ng
IN the club, II would give them much plea
sure to hear favorably from me. l in
formed the committee that | needed every
cent OF the money l had won, and that 1
desired no banqueting; besides l was not a
gentleman OF high color and could not con-
scientlously accept of the very kind pro-
posai under the existing circumstances"
THE LOSERS END.
The Black Pearl is in bad fix. He is
stili nursing badly diSfigured face and
lamenting the TACT that his pockets are
empty. The Pearl wagered every cent of
man on himself. He hopes to have an up-
portunity soon of redeeming his fortunes.
Binney thinks that the California Club
has peculiar way OF transactine business
ho Say uhde tho cluo cHd!Seu MN almost
double the amount of money to Frisco that
lie will have to pay for a ticket from this
city to Boston.
Patsy Cardiff has gonc over to Klinkner-
Vile to train for his battle with Joe Nc
Auliffe. Cardiff needs close watching, and
unless committee from the California
Club visits him daily, he will not be in the
least prepared to fight McAulffe

the Acme Athletic Club. held Wednesday,
