AFTER THE FIGHT.
The Winner Now Wants to
Tackle a Champion"
Training Makes an Increase in Cardif's
Weight-An Amateur Who Fooled
the Olympic Club.

The California Athletic Club has sent for
Charley Kemmic, who is now at Ogden.
The Directors intend to match Kemmic
against Mccain, the amateur" boxer, who
is alleged to be a professional pugilist, hav-
ing fought Pete Mccoy limited number of
rounds at Philadelphia few years ago.
Mccain, 1t will be remembered, knocked
out an amateur named Gallagher at one Of
the recent boxing tournaments given by the
Olympic Club He was allowed to contest
on the ground that he had never engaged in
a professional contest. Several inquiries
were made by the club as to McCann's quail
iiicatiOns. Letters were written to the Sec
retaries of the Philadelphia amateur ath-
letic clubs for information, and it is under
stood that favorable answers were received
concerning McCann's right to compete at
amateur boxing tournaments.
1t is now said that the invader and
knocker-out of local champion amateur
boxers had been at one time boxing In
structor in Philadelphia. However that
may be, it is certain that il McCann is
mat he'd to fight Kemmic his standing as an
amateur will be no longer questioned. Kem-
mic will be here in few days, and ii he is
half as good a man as his friends state his
opponent will need be pretty stiff puncher
to make showing with him.
SCRAP AT sUISUN.
On Sunday evening large crowd OF
hunters and sportngmen from this city and
Benicia witnessed a hard-glOye fight at
Suisun, between man named Fitzpatrick,
formerly constable of the latter city, and
a pugiist who gave his name as Jim Web
ster. The betting on the result was spir-
tied with Fitzpa trick on the long end. The
sports backed Webster on the strength OF
his being an experien ce0 fighter and good
Ht,na ,tnHf I = for fnt
rounds. Fitzpatrick rushed the game from
the start, and in the fourth round he landed
a right en- Webster's jaw which knocked
the latter stiff. The winner intends to
challenge some of the local welter-weights.
FOR BEST GIRL.
Although fairly large crowd of pleasure
seekers visited the Gin House and vicinity
Sunday afternoon. only small number OF
the Sight-seers got wind of a scrap which
was arranged to take place at Bakers Beach.
The contest, which was fought with hard
gloves. was short and spirited, and was wit
messed by about thirty spectators. The con-
sideration was a Mission belle, who prom
ised her hand to the successful competitor.
The PRINCIPALS were Isadore Weber and
William Clark, neither of whom has yet
learned to wear his hair la pOmpadour.
They wore riDglets, however, that hung
over their eyebrows and made them look
real savage as they appeared ready for the
fray. Billy Johnson, the champion skele-
ton-weight scrapper of the valley. was Sc
lected referee. and Moses Abraham, better
known as tho " Killdee," held the brass
watch
When time was called the sloggers went
at each other in the most approved style OF
swing, hit, miss or get it, as the case may be.
In the fourth punch Weber nailed Clark on
the jaw with flush right, and the receiver
fell like log and remained down until
counted out. The Weber party returned
home rejoicing, and the winner now keeps
company with his best girl without disturb
ance from jealous rivals.
NEEDHAM AND RYAN.
The Directors of the California Club have
ratified the Ryan, eedham match for March
and telegraphed Ryan his expenses 1t is
said that apart from the purse the pugilists
will wager 5000 a side on the result Need
ham has posted forfeit to bind the wager.
The match which the California Club rat
fled last week-a contest betweed George
Lavigni, who defeated Soto recently, and
Johnny Van Heest-should prove good
one, as the pugilists are punchers from the
word go, and will make the mill lively while
it lasts.
Patsy Cardiff. who will face big Joe Nc
Auliffe on the Goth inst, has increased eight
pounds in weight since he went into train
ing. He now scales 1877 pounds. McAuliffe
will fight close on to 2l5 pounds, which he
thinks is his best fighting weight.
THAT UNSATISFACTORY FIGHT.
punishment other tharfan abrasion over the
left eye from a punch which he received in
the third round of his fight with La Blanche.
He said last evening that he intended TAX
ing a short rest, but if coed inducements
were offered him to fight again he would
not remain idle while the sun shines. An
effort will be made to match Greggains
against Young Mitchell when the latter re-
turns from the East Greggains has been
for some time looking forward TO meeting
with the champion midde-weieht Of the
Coast earring FitZsimmonsl, and unless
Mitchell has an idea that his Services" are
worth more than the clubs would feel dis
posed to give, contest between the TWO
Californiaus will certainly be ratified.
Mitchell is expected here next week as he Is
| anxious to spend Christmas in this city.
DID NOT TRAIN.
La Blanche, according to all accounts, is
very much disappointed man. He acknowl-
edges that he did not train as carefully as
he should for his fstic dispute with Greg
gains. He told friend yesterday that he
was perfectly confident of knocking out his
opponent in a couple of rounds, and, as
consequence, he did not think it required
perfect course of training to complete the
job.
The California Club has a man in view
no will be matched against young Haw-
kins in the near future. The unknown"
is supposed to be fighter named DAILY, who,
it is alleged, gave Dixon a good ''go" when
the latter was sparring through the Est.
If Hawkins succeeds in defeating DAILY or
whoever he may prove to be, the local
fighter can look forward to match with
Cal Mccarthy.
