PUGILISTIC NOTES,
The California Club Has Two
Matches for January.

The match which was booked for next
month at the Occidental Club between
Kehoe and Smith is off. The former refused
to go into training unless the club would
advance him 500, and ON its refusal to conf
ply with the request, Kehoe went elsewhere
to find better terms. Yesterday the Cali
fornia Club signed him and Billy Smith to
hight to finish in the latter part of Janu-
airy. Before clinching this match the club
signed Charley Kemmic and Jack Mccain,
the alleged amateur pugilist, for January.
LII Will therefore be noticed that the Cali
f0rnla Club has two important matches for
next mouth. Tommy Ryan telegraphed the
President OF the club yesterday that he was
to have left Chicago yesterd ay for this city.
He is matched to fight Danny Needham in
February. Mr.. FuIda further said yester-
day that he had visited Patsy Cardiff on
Friday and found him in splendid shape
He Is OF the opinion that Cardiff will as
tonlsh some of McAuliffe's friends. There
Is no doubt that Cardiff can fight il he can
only muster up enough courage to face the
music OF battle when it becomes hot.
He gave Peter jackson a rafting good
go" while the mill lasted, and, so far as
condition is concerned, neither had any ad-
Tommy Ryan must be pretty confident of
being able to whip Needham. In his teie-
gram TO the California Club lie stated that
he would cover Needham's 5000 side wager
and go him one better by adding another
$1,000 to the sum already mentioned. Need
ham is pleased to know that his opponent
means business, but before placing anv
great reliance on what Ryan says he will
patiently wait to see covered his forfeit
which is now up.
Mccain, the puglist who is matched to
fight Kemmic at the California Club, states
that he has knocked out 100 pugiists and
has never met with defeat. He should
prove hot customer for MIR. Kemmic.
Nick Long says that he will lay $1,000 on
kemmic at even money.
Danny Needham and Charley Kemmc are
great friends and will train at the same sta
ton. AS boxing instructor of the Reliance
Club of Oakland Needham keeps in good
fix. He has now on Lake Merritt a racing
shell in which he will do considerable prac-
tice.
George La Blanche, the pugilist who dis
likes training, has gone To Los Angeles.
he expects to earn q few dollars in the
southern country knocking out local pugs
The Marine" should set sail for the African
gold fields.
President Robbins of the Occidental Club
states that he has had enough of boxing
clubs and pugllists, and in future he Will re-
main severely away from fistc sports. He
has rendered his resignation to the club.
The Occidental Club has no match on
hand for the future, and unless it "gets
move on" rapidly it might as well hand in
Its coupons. Its recent monthly entertain
ments have been very unsatisfactory to the
mem bers.
The Pacific Club is trying to arrange
match between Choynski and Peter ,Maher.
The latter is rusher and just the man
whom Choynski is looking for. Joe cannot
dIop any man who is always on the retreat,
The fight between Jimmy Carroll and
Billy Myers will be decided at New Orleans
on Tuesday evening. Carroll is big fav-
orite with the betting contingent.
The club that will secure meeting be-
tween jim Corbett and Charley Mitchell,
charging SIS and SO admission, will easily
take in from $4,000 to SIS. 200.
