Five Thousand Dollars q Side and Big
Purse--The Fight VIII Tske.Pl &c in New
OrIeans-A Long squabble Over the Ar
ticles and Weights.
New YORK, July 3O.-George DixoD,
the champion bantam-weight OF the
world, was matched tonight TO fight
Jack Shelley, OF Brooklyn, before the
Olympic Club of New Orleans, for q
purse OF $500 and wager of
SIS, 900 a side, September 9. The men
are to weigh us pounds at $50 on the
afternoon of the contest The articles
were drawn and signed in On uptown
hosiery at 8 late hour. Tom 0'Rourke
and Billy Reynolds each deposited 81,
600 to bind the match with the sporting
editor Of the World.
II required nearly five hours to ar
range the match. Reynolds had deter
mined not to allow Shelley TO fight at
less than 100 pounds, and 0Rourke at
first positively declined to enter his man
above 1T. II was after midnight when
the necessary concessions were made.
Then they dranka bottle of champagne
and had talk over the prospects. Tom
O'Rourke left Boston ss soon as he
could after hearing OF the Olympic
Clubs offer of 81, 500 purse. A meeting
was arranged and Skeiley's hacker was
Oh hand at the appointed hour. Dixon
was there, too. but he soon became tired
of the signing aud left for his hotel.
For three hours Shelley remained out
side the hotel, and he was only sent for
when the prospects Of an understanding
between O'ROurke and Reynolds were
indeed very bad. Reynolds agreed 10
sign at ll9 pounds, weigh SIX hours be-
fore fighting, and would not give or take
another ounce. O'ROurke said 1T
pounds, stuck TO IL long while, but f.
nally came up half pound. Finally the
Boston manager said: will you fight
at 1T pounds six hours before entering
the ring providing Dixon weighs In at
112 pounds"
Eyes, wen take that exclaimed
Skeley and Reynolds in chorus.
Diyon's manager drew a thousand
dolor bill and offered it to the stake
holder. A consultation between the
Brooklyuites followed As result they
changed their minds. The argument
was then resumed. OROurkG stuck 10
his Il71{ pound proposition and Shelley
wanted half a pound more. This was all
that stood in the way OF match-haf
pouud-but II was enough TO start
Shelley and his hacker homeward.
They had gone perhaps a block when
they were advised TO return. One more
hour was consumed. To show AT what
great DISADVANTAGE he would be IN
reducing himself, Shelley found scales
in the neighborhood and weighed him
self. He tipped the beam at 1917
pounds, stripped. O'Rourke finally
conceded the half pound TO Shelley, and
the articles were signed.
1--WE made many a match in my
time" was O'Rourke's comment, but
never have l had such work rs this.
For an amateur Billy Reynolds IS
shrewd matchmaker. ia rather have
