-SULLIVAN.SLAVIN.
A Probability That the Two Big
Fighters Will Meet,
AS BOTH OF THEM ARE WILLING.

The Contest Cannot Take Place,
However, Until ASer the Ameri-
can Champion's Return from Aus
tralia-The Olympic Club. of New
Orleans, Offers a 500, 900 Purse.
NEW YORK, June 2O.-Champion John
l.. Sullivan has made up his mind to
have one more fight before he retires
permanently from the pugilistic arena.
The triumph of Frank Slavin, the
Australian cyclone, over Jake Kilrsin,
has stirred up the Boston boy to such
degree that he has telegraphed his friend
Jim Wakely that he is ready for one
moro "go,' and authorizes Wakely and
Charley Johnston, Of Brooklyn, to make
o match with the Australian. The tele-
gram is dated San Jose, CAL, and reads
as follows:
MAKE match for me to meet Slavin
for ten rounds, winner TO take all the
purse and an outside bet Of $4,000 a
side. JOHN l.. SULLIVAN"
When Slavin was informed of Sulli-
vans challenge the Australian at once
exclaimed:
IAN right, I'll fight him. When does
he want to fight?"
"On his return from Australia" he
was informed.
SIavin Is willing.
"Well, I'm ready to make a MATCH"
replied Slavin.
"Will you put up forfeit todayf' he
was asked.
Yes, I'm ready to post q forfeit of
$500 or 81 600 at once
Pony Moore and Mitchell were in
Slavin's company at the time, and the
former pulled out big wad of bank
notes and wanted to put up the money
sn the spot.
Mitchell, however, took the PROPOSE
ton more coolly and declared that Sulli-
van was only buffer and wanted to
make the match in order to advertise
himself on his Australian starring tour.
Frank he added, turning to Slayin,
"Tm usually with you, but If you make
this match I'm not"
The Australian champion seemed to
be impressed by Mitchell's words, for he
finally said that, although he had en-
gagged his passage for England on Sat-
urday's steamer, he would remain here
and make the match, agreeing to any
terms that might be named, if Sullivan
would forego his trip to Australia.
Sullivan's Australian Tour.
| Sullivan is under contract to go to
Australia and cannot break his engage
ment. He will return in three months,
aud can then go into training for the
fight. Slavin can go back to England
with his friends, and he has already
promised to return to this country three
months from now. SO that there is be-
heved to be no obstacle in the way of ar
ranging meeting. If the fight comes
off the stakes will be the heaviest that
have ever been put up in pugilistic en-
connter.
NEW ORLEANS, June 20.-The Olympic
club, of this city, has telegraphed an
