MEN OF MUSCLE.
Arrival of Pugilist Paddy German
From New York.
Who Will Referee the Next Bloody Contest
at the Pacific Club 3-0arsmen Going
North 20 See the Boat Race.

Judging from the way sporting men scored
the Pacific Athletic Club yesterday. its
President ana referee, John Dougherty, in
particular, it is decidedly safe to say that
the political fighting organization has al
ready seen its best days.
A prominent member of the club, who
will witness no more brdtal fights under the
present management, said last evening that
during his experience at the ringside he had
never seen more unsatisfactory contest,
which was all owing to the very inferior
knowledge of Referee Dougherty of all fair
rules of fighting.
";If the referee" said the speaker, chad
the remotest idea of Queensberry rules, he
would have given judgment when Greg
gems fouled Mccarthy in the sixth round
before the latter was compelled to leave the
ring. If he thought the foul was uninten-
tional on Greggains' part he should have
given the match to the latter when Nc
earthly failed to cUme to the scratch after
the gong announcing time for the seventh
round. If he considered the foul deliberate
on the part of the striker he Should not
have hesitated moment in the rendering
of decision in favor of the manned pugil-
ist.
AN UNFAIR FIGHTER.
'Greggains is a very unfair fighter, and
last time he fouled Mccarthy he did so
with the intention of physically disabling
him. The second foul he commit d might
not have been Intentional, but nevertheless
he showed his brutal disposition by smash
ing with all his might at Mccarthy neck
while the latter was appealing to the stupid
referee for fair play"
1t is common talk that Greggains and
Dougherty were cluseted on the evening Of
the fight in one of the back rooms of a
kearny-Street saloon, now managed by a
retired heavy weight pugilist and that they
fixed things to suit themselves.
1t Is the first time in the history of the
ring that President of club was known
TO act as referee, but of course the Pacific
Club is altogether a different Institution
from any other fighting club. According to
its Presidents statement it has rules of its
own which will answer most admirably
the purpose they are intended for, viz: to
protect fighters WHO are fixed by the club
ito go inn or ito SO out" as the supreme
judge dictates when ii suits his convenience.
PADDY GoRMAN ARRIVES.
Paddy German, the 146-puund pugilist,
who is matched to fight Arthur Upham ar
rived from New York yesterday looking
first class. Upham, who was arrested for
violating the revenue laws. is evidently not
anxious to try conclusions with Paddy, or
otherwise be, would have, answered def
nitely the kilograms that have been sent
him in reference TO his Intentions. German
will be looked after until such time as
good man can be found to pit against him.
The Occidental Athletic Club having re-
ceiyed no answer from Andy Bowen in
reference to a match with Billy AkerS, will
in all probability match the latter against
NJ. Mccarthy, who is brother OF the
pugilist who was defeated by Greggains.
When the California Club moved from its
old quarters on Grant avenue to New Mont
gomery street few of the Directors could
hna ST Df owning q rpol estate Unrtb m
tlonlng. How different the situation is to-
day. The new quarters have evidently
proved mascot for some of the club Off
GERS. review of the assessment-rOll Of
real estate will show that some of the old
Directors are well fixed. and it was only
very recently that one of the Oldest Off GERS,
whose salary was never more than $1,000 a
minute, purchased beautiful piece of land
near Petaluma.
GALLAGHER AND MITCHELL.
Reddy Gallagher will arrive here next
month. Young Mitchell, who is matched to
fight MIN, has left for short vacation at
the springs. The local middle-weight cham
pion has taken with him to the rural dis
trcts good supply of looking glasses, cold
cream and fancy wearing apparel
When the news went East that Young
Mitchell had another batch of photographs
taken in fighting costume friend of Reddy
Gallagher forwarded by express frame
tringed with black Grape in which one of
the latest striking attitudes" was requested
to be placed.
Billy Mccarthy suffered considerably
yesterday from his injured arm. His face
shows hardly any signs of punishment
He said that if he had not been fouled by
Greggains he would have put the latter to
sleep in the seventh round GreggainS' face
shows the marks of punt shment.
Joe Harris writes TO friend from Aus
tralia that Duncan c. Ross will return to
America on the next steamer. He says that
Hall will knock Fitzslmmons silly. Harris
claims that Joe Goddard could go right
through the United States, from Oregon TO
Maine, and beat every pugilist who claims
he is a champion. He also claims that
George Dixon is no duffer, but he is certain
that Abe Wids will defeat him.
The well-known local oarsmen, Nick
Long and Johnny Sullivan, will leave this
city on Tuesday next for Vancouver. They
will take with them a large sack of Amer
lean dollars, which will be placed on Henry
Peterson against McLane in their race,
which will take place August 8th.
