Choynski and Big Bob,

The arrival of Sullivan and Choynski has
caused a furore in pugilstie circles. Chal-
lenges are flying around in such a manner
that It is reasonable to supposeithat the box
ing clubs will find very little difficulty for
some months to come in procuring fstic
talent.
Harris Martin, ''tEe Black Pearl" has
come to the conclusion that Young Mitch
ell or Alexander Greggains would be good
marks for him, and has issued challenge
to fight either one of them at 154 pounds in
any club. The Pearl prefers to meet Greg
gains first, but if that fighter, who has been
50 eagerly looking for game, refuses to ac-
knowledge the challenge, he Will take on"
Young Mitchell or any other aspiring mid
dle-weight barring lanky Bob Fitzsimmons,
who seems to be recognized by all middle
weights as cock Of the walk
A STATUE OR A FIGHTER?
Mitchell has made preparations to travel
with Dempsey; but then, If good induce
ments should be offered him to try conelu-
slons with the "Black Diamond" he may
conclude to cancel his touring engagements
and add a few more thousands to his already
snug bank accountant is, OF course, pro-
vided he can whip Mr.. Martin.
Peter Jackson is also up in arms and try =
ing every means in his power TO get match
with his late opponent, professor" Cor
bett. The latter is doing the grand east of
the mountains and is issuing challenges to
fight Slavin or Mitchell The colored heavy
weight champion cannot understand why
it is that "Pompadour" Jim ignores his offer
to meet him in return match. Jackso
says that he is ready to sign articles with
the eX-b0Xing instructor OF the Olympic
Club to fight IN any club or place outside OF
the Southern States, and VIII cover any for
feft that COrbett may deposit within twenty
hours notice
ANOTHER STATUE.
eff Eastern sports think that Corbett can
lick me-" said jackson, why do they not
club together and back their man. L will
guarantee to raise q sum equal to any
amount Of money they may back Corbett
with. This is strictly business, as far as
I'm concerned, and | think it should be
enough to prove who is the most anxious of
the two tn enter the ring for the purpose of
deciding the question OF superiority"
SULLIVAN AND sLAvIN.
Sullivan l2oks as if he means business
now. The fact that he has remained for
weeks without touching hard liquor is the
best guarantee that he has made up his
mind to prepare for meeting with Paddy
Slavin.
Sullivan's hacker, i'm Wakeley, received
the lattrr's arrival, stating that he was well
and ready to talk fight with any one
Wakeley telegTaphed back yesterday from
New y OrB, stating that Charley Johnson
and he would back the big fellow against
any man living from $4,000 TO $4,000 a
side. 1t now looks reasonable to suppose
that Slavin will be forced to sign articles to
fight Sullivan when he arrives at New Y Ork
or else be forced to leave the country
The three athletic clubs are now bidding
ror fta lotFo o.l-o Co..
that the clubs &c get man near his own
weight, as he has been, in the past battling
against pugilsts who were several pounds
over his weight.
LONG BOB AND CHoYNsKI
The California Club is working tooth and
nall to induce FitZsmmons to fight the new
arrival, and 1t now seems that Bob will
undertake the job. provided a purse big
enough to tempt him to meet Choynski will
be advanced.
Although ChUyDski may be ten pounds or
so heavier man than FitZsimmOns, it is
doubtful who Is the stronger of the two.
The match, however, would be great one
and would go show what the slim big
Australian middle-weight is really capable
of doing. There is one thing certain, and
that is Fitzsimmons need not hope for a
meeting with any OF the American middle
weights The manner in which he used up
Dempsey settled FitZsimmons so far as
getting q match with any man in the class
he represents.
The Directors of tie Pastime Club have
matched Mike Lyons and Jack King, anna
teur boxers. for an eight-round set-to on the
evening of the 5th prox.
