RING AND TRACK.
The Contest This Evening at
the Pacific Club.
Jackson and Slavin Will Perform in June
The California Club Has Raised Its
Daes-Amateur Athletics

this evening should prove very successful
affair. Jack Herman OF Boston, who was
to have met Joe King, reported at head
quarters yesterday that he had sprained his
foot and could not contest 1t is customary
now for pGgiiSts who do not desire to fight
TO notify the clubs at the last moment Of
some unfortunate accident happening to
them when putting on the finishing touches.
These Boston pugilists have proven to be
very precarieus lot and the clubs would add
to their success very materially by giving
the Bean-eaters a cold reception in the way
of match making. The Pacfcs will try to
substitute a good man in Kiernan's place.
Ii the club should fail to secure a proper
substitute, the probability is that Bill Page,
a recent arrival from Australia, and Con
RiOrdan will don the gloves. Soto is selling
slight fayorite against Lavigne.
JOHN AND PADDY IN A BOUT.
There will be fun at the Pacific Athletic
Club on Wednesday evening, when John
and Paddy will face each other for o
friendly bout. Ryan is determined to make
a good showing on this occasion, as it will
be the last time he will put on boxing
gloves. In conversation with some OF his
friends yesterday he remarked:
We'll, you fellows may look upon me as
back number, but l will prove to you that
| am as good to-day as | ever was in my life.
L don't expect TO win against the big fellow,
but am willing to bet that l will remain
on deck for four rounds, and it will be no
tapping match either"
Ryan has been training for the past week
and has taken off about ten pounds of loose
flesh. He is determined to prove to the
public that he can still use his punches of
tyes as dexterOusly as most of the heavy
weights who are now looking for engage
ments.
PETER A HAPPY MAN.
Peter jackson is a happy man now that
final arrangements have been made for
match between him and Slavin. Jackson
received telegram yesterday that the Ma
tiOnal Club of London had agreed to allow
him $3.50 f"r expenses and that the purse
would be $4,000. The colored champion
received also a dispatch from PEARSON"
Davies which reads:
CHICAGO. Nov 10TH
received a. cablegram as follows from Al
kinson OF London: Mitchell accepts offer Of
Boston Will represent club In America. Advise
jackson at once Match is Tor June. Club al
lows Jackson additional expenses"
Telegraph me ct Chicago and let letter follow.
CHARLES E. DAVIES.
Jackson will settle up his business as soon
as possible and then 60 East, where ne
will meet Pars0n Davies 1T Chicago. 1t is
Jackson's intention to travel through some
fore leaving for England. The contest will
take place in June. 1t is almost safe to say
that Sam Fitzpatrick will be chosen by
jackson as his trainer. FitZ has done great
work for Peter. and it is doubtful whether
Jackson could find as good man in En-
gland.
WHEN THEY TALKED FIGHT.
When Sullivan and Slayin were talking

delphia Item said:
In Slavin John L. VIII find man much better

exception of Mitchell. Paddy is clever TWO

man ohn mas met, aud, believe, Will give him
more trouble.

John when gloves are worn and Queensberry

surprise some of the Pearls fondest admir-
ers. smith and BinDy had little passage

/ start to finish.
According to telegram received by a
friend OF Jack Dempsey the latter is not as
| sick man as the dispatches TO the various
papers stated. Dempsey was taken sud-
| denly Ill and his physician ordered no one
to see him for some time, knowing that if
| the report spread of his sudden sickness it
| would require squad of policemen to keep
back the crowds that would want to see him.
