limited that Paddy Mcbride, of Philadelph,a,
would be matched against the winner. NC
Bride had a responsible hacker then VINO
would put up from s., 900 to s., 00O lt IS
doubtful if Mcbride has him now, since GrlI-
I'm polished of Larkins in such short oroer.
New York and New Jersey sports thonght
Larkins was invincible. WHAT Will they
think of Griffin?
before he left Denver for San Francisco,
where he will go into training for his coming
night with Joe Choynski. Billy ana MS
friends are very confident that he VIII WIN.
although they admit that he is going agaiMnst ms
hard and clever fighter. III all Choynskls
battles he has shown himself to be q game,
clever and hard-hitting fighter, and if ooqs
defeats him he will have to make remark
ably clever fight
Young MITCHELL, who saw Slavin fight
three times in Australia, one being draw
with Mike Costello says: "Slavin is not in
Sullivan's class. The latter is the cleverest
and best of them all. As to Slavin, he IS not
sparrer, nor does he pretend to be. lie Is
essentially fighter. He hits hard and de-
pends upon his strength to win battles. Sulll-
van is fully as stiff puncher, is more alert,
has infinitely superior knowledge Of the use
of his hands, and is a far better general.
Why shouldn't he do Slayin?'

mo Doll off

Thompson, of Brooklyn, put up the money
for Avery and Billy Wilson did the same for
Moran. The contest is to take place in De-
cember, and only limited number of spec
tators will be allowed to be present. Avery
has gone into training at Dempsey's old
training quarters on Long Island, under the
membership Of Tom Mea2her
JOHN L. SULLIvAN's offer to help Paddy
Ryan with benefit is likely to put the ex.
champion once more on his feet. Several
prominent horse-men and other lnf1uentla!
friends are managing the affair, which will
take place the 2Sth. Sullivan will wind up
with Ryan in Il four-round set-to, which, un-
der the . circumstances, VII! be a milo a bout bout
and then-well, Paddy will be better able to
explain afterward. Choyinski, Fitzsimmons,
the "Blacl PEARL" Ed Benney, Con Riordan,
Billy Smith and other celebrities will appear.
A NEW aspirant for the welter-weight
championship of America has been found irr
W: L. Layton. of Roanoke, Va. He wants TO
fight Hite Peckham at 140 pounds. "1f
Peckham won't fight me-" says Layton, ell
go any of 'em for a purse. If there is no
purse forthcoming I'll fight EN- for fun, De-
cause they may say had no reputation.
That's an old gag with fighters. But say,
beat Reddy' Gallagher in IL rounds at
Lima, o., Joe Tansey in three rounds at
Birmingham, Ala. Frank Griffin, two
rounds, Roanoke, Va, and fought George La
Blanche to draw in Bradford, Pa, Peck
