II is not likely. however. that articles will he

place for moro than half year. Sullivan hold

in putting up n forfeit Just now. One Of
$1,000 was placed under the Australians nose
for long time without being within range OF
his vision. apparently for he took no notice of

tho two mon will agree to fight for the best

is no doubt that SlaNin can raise that amount.

Already there are signs OF disagreement as
to the club before which the anticipated battle
between Sullivan and Slavin shall take place.
Su!livnn's objection to San Francisco and tho
San Franciscans is well known. and not alto
gethcr unreasonable for out there they have
long shown IA disrespect for certain acts OF tho
champion that have been tolerated with better
grace in other sections Of the country. Per-
haps the Californians have not been alto
gether unreasonable in displaying their dis
approval OF said acts, but the fact remains
that the Frisco sports have melted the big
fellows dislike. and naturally he does not
want to fight in city where. az he thinks the
residents are opposed to him He prefers New
Orleans.
Slavin says lie will not go TO New Orleans.
Why? Because. if Mitchell is caught down
that way he will be "iugred for his particle
patton in the Sullivan kilrain business, and
the Australian champion will not fight without
Mitchell in his corner. These are thc only
fisht could take place But It may be that tho
objection OF both men will DO swept away long
In connection with this matter it occurs to
some minds that Mitchell WAS at least incon-
sistent when he refused to meet Jim for6ett

Englishman all the trouble THAT makes him y
